Belize hotels
Though basic accommodations predictably abound here, Belize hotels at the other end of the spectrum lack for nothing, whether plasma screens or private airstrips. Haute or not, many hotels discount by at least 20 percent in the low season (typically, May through November). And all are decidedly laid-back: In the cayes (at Azul, Cayo Espanto, Mata Chica, or Victoria House) and along the coast (at Jaguar Reef or Turtle Inn), you need never change out of your flip-flops…except to go barefoot. And in the pine- and rain-forested interior (at Blancaneaux, Chaa Creek, Ka'ana, or Machaca Hill), tracking mud into the hotel lobby is simply the sign of a day well spent.
