Hotels in Belize to Stay on Points

Belize is one of those easy to travel to international destinations. It’s a relatively short flight. Everyone speaks English – one of the reasons why you should visit Belize. You can use airline miles to fly there for free. There are hotels in Belize to stay on points. So you could take a very inexpensive vacation in Belize.

Hotels in Belize to Stay on Points

We spent 8 days in Belize and were able to save money on accommodations by using hotel points.

At that time there are only two hotels in Belize where you can use points to pay for your hotel stay. Now, there are so more places you can stay for free with points and miles!

Almost every hotel chain has a hotel in Belize. You can use Best Western, Hilton, Hyatt, Mariott, Radisson, and Wyndham points for free stays in Belize.

Here are the hotels in Belize where you can stay on points.

We stayed at the Radisson Fort George Hotel and Marina on our last night in Belize.

Rooms at the Radisson Fort George Hotel and Marina start at $125 or 45,000 points (standard room) or 67,500 points (premium room) per night.

When we stayed it was 38,000 points for a standard room and 57,000 points for a premium room. After Radisson changed their award chart this June, the cost to use points increased. But the cash priced is less.

Why You Shouldn’t Use Hotel Points to Stay in Belize

Using points to save money on hotels is a good thing. But in Belize, you should not use hotel points for your entire trip. Because depending on where you stay using points in Belize can cost you more money. It’s important to know when to use points and when to pay cash. Instead, you should only use points for your first or last night.

Both the Radisson Fort George and Marina and the Best Western Belize Biltmore Plaza are in Belize City. Being in the city center is great for some cities like New York, London, or Paris. But it’s not where you want to be in Belize.

When you travel to Belize you either want to stay on the beach or in the jungle. Because that’s where all the attractions and things to do are located.

You can find inexpensive homes and other types of accommodations on the beach or jungle. We stayed at three places in Belize: a cute house on the river in San Ignacio, a beachfront hotel on Ambergris Caye, and at the Radisson Fort George on our last night.

If you stay in Belize City you’ll spend more money on transportation (rental car and gas, bus, ferry or plane) to get back and forth from the beach or jungle to your hotel.

You should only stay in the city if you arrive late or have an early flight home.

Conclusion

Vacations can be expensive. That’s why using hotel points can save you money when you travel. There are eight hotels in Belize to stay on points. With so many options to choose from you can stay in the city, jungle, or on the beach.

You should be strategic about where you use your points to stay in Belize. Because it can be cheaper to pay cash than use points.

But you should your use your airline miles and fly for free, especially if you have the Southwest Companion Pass.

Stay tuned for my review of the Radisson Fort George Hotel and Marina.
