When we were planning our trip to San Pedro on Ambergris Caye in Belize, we didn’t find any of these cheap hotels online. It’s not that they don’t have websites; it’s just that they don’t come up on the first page of Google results. These hotels are all basic in their amenities, but they are clean and in a great part of town.
I mention location, but there is really no bad part of town (within certain limits). One of the most appealing parts of the island is that the primary mode of transportation is golf cart. The issue, though, is that golf carts are loud and smelly. We have stayed 1 mile south of town, and we appreciated less golf cart noise and air pollution. The great part was there were still many restaurants and stores within walking distance. We also stayed 2 miles north of town where there is pretty much zero golf cart noise and air pollution. However, you can only walk to a few neighboring beach restaurant/hotel/bars. Wherever you stay, you will feel like you are in paradise. Each of these hotels has great reviews and will leave you some $$ left for all the walkable restaurants and bars on the beach.
I will paint a brief pessimistic picture for you that will apply to each of these cheap hotels, but then wash that away with a picture of paradise. No, there will not be fast internet, granite countertops, deluxe comforters and pillows, bug spray for all the mosquitoes at dusk, warm indoor lighting, and spacious living quarters. BUT, you will be within walking distance to the beach and at least five restaurants and bars. The hotel will have some form of internet. Most importantly, you will be so tired from your days of exploring that your room and bed will feel amazing. Just pick one and let us know how you liked it!
