Accommodation
Hotels
Belize has few first-class hotels, but smaller establishments give good value. There are mountain lodges in the interior and resort hotels on the Caribbean coast. Most accommodation establishments are listed by the Belize Tourism Industry Association (see Contact Addresses section). The BTIA represents more than 50 per cent of all establishments.
Grading: Hotels have been divided into three categories according to price and standard. Rates are subject to change without notice. It is advisable to confirm reservations and rates in advance. Classes of hotels are as follows: Expensive: All hotels provide a private bath/shower and have a restaurant and bar. There is air conditioning in all rooms. Some rooms also have a phone and TV. Moderate: All hotels provide a private bath/shower and full or partial air conditioning. Budget: Nearly all provide a private bath/shower, though sometimes baths/showers are shared. On the Barrier Reef Cayes there are numerous resort hotels of roughly the same standard as those given above.
Apartments
Long-stay visitors can rent apartments on a monthly basis.
Camping/Caravanning
There are budget campsite facilities in Belize, Cayo and Corazal districts and a slightly more expensive campsite in the Toledo district. There is a caravan site in Corozal Town, and also outside San Ignacio. Camping on the beach is forbidden. Camping on private beach yards in Caye Caulker and in Tobacco Caye is available.
