You can stay cheaper in THAILAND than Belize says Austrian Tourist.

Austrian Tourist claims he can stay cheaper on beaches in Thailand than on the islands of Belize. That is probably true! I wouldn't know.

What I do know is that Guatemala is the same price for food and lodging as in Belize for low budget bus travelers. The cost in Mexico is slightly higher than in Belize for low budget travelers, though if you go on the back streets away from tourist areas, you can get prices similar to low budget places in Belize.

In the high end tourism, full service tourist facilities are very expensive. That is what quality and full service is about, with 3 or so, staff tending to each guest. This is just an expensive tourist niche, special catering to the wealthy.
