Budget beach accommodation
I'm planning to spend a few days on the coast/cayes of Belize next month on the way back to Guatemala from the Yucatan. My guidebook is really out of date with regard to accommodation and beachside development but because it covers the whole region I want to visit I'm keeping hold of it.
Can anyone advise me of some chilled out beaches with budget accom please? My ideal place to stay is a no-frills wooden cabana with a mozzie net rather than a hotel as I think they are cooler. I'm up for chilled places with fewer people rather than hordes of tourists, although I do appreciate its gonna be high season. Also will I need to book budget accom in advance?
Also, I know there are water taxis from Chetumal and Belize City but can you get them any further down the coast - are there any going to Puerto Barrios?
many thanks for your help
