Accommodations on Caye Caulker have improved over the years, but there are still no resorts or real luxury options. In my opinion, this adds to the charm of the place. Budget and midrange lodging options are abundant, and some of these are quite comfortable.

If you plan on staying for any period of time, you should look into renting a small cottage, condo, or apartment. As of this writing, Airbnb.com has some 50 offerings on Caye Caulker, HomeAway.com has the same, as do the other online rental companies. If you’d like the personalized service of a local operation, contact Caye Caulker Rentals (www.cayecaulkerrentals.com; tel. 630-1008). Rates begin at around BZ$140 per night through them, although during the high season rates go up and longer stays are often required. Another option is the fully equipped efficiency units at Caye Caulker Condos (www.cayecaulkercondos.com; tel. 226-0072), which rent for between BZ$160 and BZ$270 per night.
