When I stayed at Banana Beach about a year ago (it's a fine place) I found having a golf cart was handy, because I needed to get around to a lot of places. But most guests there don't have carts, because they are expensive, around US$60 for 24-hour rental, or as much or more than a rental car would cost on most islands. You can take a taxi into town ('bout US$5) or if it's a nice day and have time, just walk. The walk along the beach is pleasant, about 1 1/2 or 1 3/4 miles. The hotel also rents bikes. Most people would use a water taxi or the Island Ferry only if going to North Ambergris (US$5+). There also are several restaurants and bars within a short stroll, so you don't have to go all the way into town. --Lan Sluder Belize First Magazine http://www.turq.com/belizefirst/

We just got back from Banana Beach on Jan 15. We walked to town 1 to 2 times a day for 10 days! The walk home after lunch would take 2 to 3 hours some days, what with all the stops at beach bars and sitting on piers! The 25 min walk home after supper was the best, under the stars, carring your shoes,walking off a full meal. Every once in a while if we did not feel like walking into town, we would hitch hike! Yes hitch, we ALWAYS got rides on the first golf cart going by. We met some great people that way, locals and gringoes.We even got a ride from John Edwards and his wife, very nice people. The point here is that don't worry about it till your there and take it as it goes. Belize it baby!

BB is the place I would stay if I went back to SP. (and someday I will) The pool is too cold to use! As are all the pools on the island. I never ever seen anyone in a pool, accept to quickly cool off. I heard that from people staying at other places as well-way cold mon. It's a beauty though, if you can stand the water temp. the beach is the best I seen south of the cut and the only place I saw people in the ocean. next door to the north is the sea Breeze pier and it's the best place to swim in the sea. There is no eatery at BB but check this board for all the great places such as Canables,Elvies,Celi's,El patio, Margaritas, papi's, and many more. The rooms at BB are #1 you get a kitchen so you can have meals at home if you want. We always ate breakfast on our balcony. There is a beach bar next dooor(south) at Mata Rocks, so you can walk over, buy a drink and go back to BB if you want. Belize it
