Belize
Hotels
Belize has an eclectic assortment of high-end, exclusive establishments. Lodges and resorts are almost always comfortable hotels in remote locations. While there are several resort hotels on the Caribbean coast most accommodations are simple guest houses or family-run hotels. Cabins or cabanas will be rustic set-ups, sometimes with or without electricity. Expect to pay upwards of $30; anything cheaper is usually not safe or clean. Be prepared for extra taxes such as the General Sales Tax (10%), the Hotel Tax (9%) and Service Charge (10-15%) that may be added after the room rate has been quoted. The Belize Tourism Board lists registered accommodation on their website www.toucantrail.com.
Note: Hotels along the Belize River have been severely affected by the 2008 hurricane season which caused flooding along the river, wiping out many of the smaller hotels and cabins.
Self Catering
Long-stay visitors can rent apartments on a monthly basis.
Camping/Caravanning
There are budget campsite facilities in most districts. A few hotels and guesthouses in the cayes offer camping on their private beaches or yards. The Belize Tourism Board (see Contact Addresses) lists campsites on its website.
