"Eight cottages set on the prettiest stretch of sand on the island. Entertainment here is of your own making—bring a book and settle back with a cold Belikin beer."

"Steps from one of Belize's best beaches, where you can swim, snorkel, and dive from shore, and fish to your heart's content, is this former convent turned peaceful island retreat on 3½ seaside acres."

"The hotel is close to the airport and has clean, but uninspiring rooms with TV, air-con and colorful local artwork. Most rooms have beach-facing porches with hammocks.

"The 61-room Caribbean Villas Hotel is a two-and-a-half pearl waterfront property with a rustic tropical vibe, just a 15-minute beach walk from central San Pedro."

"It may not be as modern as some of the island's newer resorts, but Caribbean Villas, with its gardens, pleasant quiet beachfront, and fun two-story waterslide, is an affordable and low-key alternative to the glitzier developments."

Choose from remodeled suites brightened with Guatemalan fabrics, or the cheaper standard rooms.

"Boasting one of the widest stretches of beach south of town and two pools, this well-run resort is good value especially for families, who'll love the giant slide into the sea."
