"Pedro's Hotel is a well-known destination in San Pedro for budget-minded, party-hearty travelers." Full review

"Gregarious, eccentric (and sometimes irascible) British expat Peter Lawrence opened the island's only backpacker-style accommodations in 2003; then he opened a budget hotel across the street, along with a sports bar and pizza joint, which became a local expat hangout, and now he has added a new group of "deluxe but cheap" rooms."

"One of the cheapest budget options on the island, Pedro's is a longtime San Pedro party hotel favorite." Full review

" From a distance, the colourful crop of sea-facing palapas at Matachica hotel in Belize resembles a tray of inviting tropical drinks topped with tiny umbrellas." Full review

"Thatch casitas in shades of mango, banana, and blueberry offset by brilliant white sand give this deluxe beachfront resort a Gauguin-like quality." Full review

"Arguably the swankiest resort on Ambergris Caye, the four-pearl Matachica Resort & Spa excels at combining Belizean charm with modern opulence." Full review

"Located five miles north of San Pedro Town, adults-only (16 and older) Matachica offers 32 individual casitas, villas, bungalows, and suites with sea and garden views, thatched roofs, patios, and hammocks"

"Rooms boast sculptures, ceramics, and paintings from around the world. Every lodging here is a private bungalow or villa, and all can be considered junior suites or better." Full review

"Vying for the title of 'swankiest resort,' Matachica is extravagant, exotic and eclectic." Full review
