Belize Budget Suites Overview

First Impressions

Honestly, Belize Budget Suites surprised me from the moment I walked up to the entrance on Mermaid Street. The name might suggest something basic, but this four-star property actually delivers way more than you’d expect for the price point. The staff greeted me with genuine warmth — not that rehearsed hotel smile you get sometimes — and I could tell right away this wasn’t going to be your typical budget experience.

Prime San Pedro Location

You know what really sold me on this place? The location in San Pedro is absolutely perfect for exploring Ambergris Caye. I mean, you’re literally steps away from the main strip where all the action happens, but Mermaid Street itself is just quiet enough that you’re not dealing with constant noise. I could walk to the water taxi terminal in about three minutes, and there are tons of local restaurants and bars within easy reach. Plus, the fact that they offer free parking is honestly a game-changer if you’re planning to rent a golf cart — which, let’s be real, you definitely should.

The Accommodations

My room was spacious and clean, with this nice tropical vibe that felt authentically Belizean without being cheesy about it. The air conditioning worked perfectly (crucial in that Caribbean heat), and I was impressed by how well-maintained everything was. The bathroom was modern and the water pressure was actually decent — something you can’t always count on in this part of the world. What I really appreciated was the attention to detail, like having enough outlets for charging devices and blackout curtains that actually blocked the light.

Local Insights and Amenities

Here’s something the hotel staff told me that turned out to be gold — they know exactly which tour operators to recommend and which ones to avoid. The front desk basically became my unofficial concierge service, helping me book snorkeling trips to Hol Chan and giving me the inside scoop on where locals actually eat. The property itself keeps things simple but effective — no fancy spa or elaborate pool area, but everything they do have works well and feels thoughtfully planned.

Why Guests Love It

I can totally see why couples rate this place so highly — there’s something really romantic about the whole setup without it being overly themed or expensive. The combination of that prime location, genuinely helpful staff, and rooms that feel like a real retreat makes it work for both adventure-focused trips and more relaxed getaways. After staying here, I actually understand why it gets such high ratings from recent guests. It’s one of those places that just gets the basics right while adding those little touches that make you want to come back to San Pedro again.

Best hotels in Belize blend infinity pools, Mayan chocolate spas, and chef-led ceviche classes.

Reviews of Belize Budget Suites

  • Brenda from United States (9/10)

    Impress with cleanliness. Staff friendly and accommodating.Will definitely return. Grounds well maintained.

  • Joanna from United Kingdom (9/10)

    The staff and owner were super helpful with recommendations of what to do and where to eat.
    The rooms themselves were gorgeous! Comfortable beds and plenty of space.
    Its outside of the main part of town, which was much more relaxed and not so manic – but you can walk there if you need to.

  • Lucie from Germany (9/10)

    Lucinda and José were very nice! Very clean and well decorated room, basic kitchen, good WiFi, strong A/C, good restaurants nearby, felt at home and would've loved to stay even longer

  • Roumena from Bulgaria (9/10)

  • Cheryl from United States (8/10)

  • Michele from United States (9/10)

    Quiet location. Nice, helpful staff.

  • Julia from United Kingdom (9/10)

    The property is great. With a name like Belize Budget Suites my expectations were not high at all…The photos looked great but I have fallen for that before. The apartment was just great. All of the rooms have been individually decorated a theme and are spotlessly clean with everything you need…kitchen utensils, coffee machine, iron, washing up liquid…it's all there. The host is just lovely as are the other staff. The pre arrival information you receive is exceptional to make the most of your stay, as well as when you are there. The position is ideal with a hotel close by if you wish to use their facilities, local restaurants within minutes walk with the best food. We loved it
