hi
my new girlfriend and me like to come to caye caulker in november. I´ve heard about sea view hotel. How is it?

What´s about other hotels?

I forgot to say - we will stay around 8 to 10 days - could we get a discount?

check out our web page at cybercayecaulker.com Price range $30bz-200bz

Hi good to hear you want o spend quality time in Caye Caulker. For more info on hotels try: www:gocayecaulker.com or www.belizenownetwork.com

See you in Paradise!

Remember that CC is a bit laid back...don't expect to get an reply immediately. Not everyone gets on-line every day. It may take a few days to get enough input for your needs.

There are all kinds of sites for you to check hotel info and price rates. Just look on the bottom of the screen and click on the things that are of interest to you. Many have web sites. There are a number of Mom and Pop places also...so it may take some time for them to reply as many don't have computers on site. But if you are in a rush for these....well sorry. Your patience will be rewarded if you wait and don't jump the gun...FWIW

Please don't be put-off ...it is a very nice place with lots of good people.

(OK, Wendy, Allie et.al. your turn)

Chocolate's Hotel looks very nice from the outside, as does The Real Mccaw.

Sandy Lane, Tom's Hotel, Mara's Place, Daisy's, Edith's and for the cost conscious Albert's, Tinas, Miramar, Martinez, M&N, and more!!! Camping at Vegas too.
As for De Real Macaw, don't listen to gossip, check their website, write the owner and form your own opinion. They are brand new, clean and directly across from the beach. Good luck.

Try the belizeforum.com Do a search an CC accomodations. You'll get so much info your head will spin! Also, belizefirst.com Lan Sluder is a well-known writer and magazine publisher. He does "top" lists on many categories, including lodging.

As for discounts for longer term stays- you can always try. Depends on how full the place is, or maybe the mood the owner is in, or who knows? I emailed several places asking for a monthly rate. All I got was quotes on daily or sometimes, weekly. The bargaining has to be done in person.

Pick a place and pay for a day or two, then spend some time looking at the rooms and negotiating if you like it. You'll see the island and meet some neat folks. Many ex-pats and a few Belizeans. If you like sev'l places, think about supporting Belizean owned businesses. Yes, I know, Belizeans work at the non-BZE owned businesses. But it's really not the same. No, I have nothing against ex-pats-who knows, I might BE one someday- but those folks will make their nut anyway. When you support BZE businesses, you often help an extended family. And put the lie of lazy Belizeans to rest.

You'll have a great time, I believe, wherever you end up. Just don't pay up front for an extended period until you see the room. Safest method to assure you'll be happy. Happy trails!

mara's place is nice, down by the split(swim area) you should check her out)
