I really don't want to be negative....and I try never to say anything derogatory about any resort unless they really are just bad.
BYC is nice.....but I think the nicest thing about them is their image.
For some I guess it's their cup of tea....not for me. If I wanted to experience the best of Ambergris Caye...i.e., beaches, food, diving, excursions, good prices, great accommodations, great staff, etc,etc......
BYC wouldn't be my first choice.
I think Lan and Marty both have very good info on which resorts offer the most and which have the most for your money.
I think the trick to having a really good vacation here is to get good affordable accommodations.......and leave most of your funds for activities and eating out. That's the happy medium. When all is said and done, you won't be spending that much time in your room anyway....at least not if your out there having fun!....LOL
