The Belize International Airport (BZE) is easy to navigate.  After immigration, you collect your bags and move through the customs area. The whole process can take up to an hour.  Please be advised that porters are not employed by the Airport Authority and can be pushy—you are not obligated to use their services. It is a very short distance to where you need to get to next.
