These are among the hotels we find visitor-friendly, with good value for the
price. Hotels of special note, due to excellent value, friendly owners, attractive
style, or special Belizean charm, are highlighted in CAPITALS. Our VERY special
faves are in BOLD CAPS. Price range: A (typically over
US$150 double); B (typically US$60 to $149 double); C (typically under US$60 double). Rates are
for typical rooms without meals, in season (generally December-April), may vary
by season or with specials, and are subject to change. Plus (+) sign after A
price level indicates that the rate may be much higher than other hotels in
the category. Rates do not include service or 9% hotel tax.
Off-season, rates typically drop 20 to 40%, except at some budget hotels. Please
tell us about good lodging we may have overlooked.
