The Belize Tourism Board’s newly released accommodation statistics for December 2025 present striking contrasts in hotel pricing across the country’s tourist destinations. Contrary to common assumptions, San Pedro does not rank as the most expensive location for visitors. That distinction belongs to southern Belize’s offshore resorts, where travelers face average nightly rates of approximately $680 per room.
Following closely behind, San Pedro claims the second position with average rates of $545 per night. The coastal village of Placencia ranks third at $503, while northern offshore island resorts and Hopkins complete the top five most expensive areas at $457 and $406 respectively.
For budget-conscious travelers, Corozal emerges as the most affordable destination with double occupancy rooms averaging just $143 nightly. Belize City offers the fourth most economical option nationally at $236 per night. The data reveals a national average room rate of $406, with October identified as the most cost-effective month for hotel bookings throughout the country.
The comprehensive pricing analysis provides valuable insights for travel planning, highlighting significant regional variations that could influence tourist distribution patterns and vacation budgeting strategies across Belize’s diverse tourism markets.
