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 were only two hotels in Belize where you could use points to pay for your hotel stay. Now, there are so many 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. When we stayed it was 38,000 points for a standard room and 57,000 points for a premium room

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 in the 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 in the city 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.

This is such great information. The only thing better than traveling is traveling and saving money. Thanks for all of these tips!
These look like amazing hotels to stay at!! Finding a good hotel is so important when you are traveling to another country!
I have been to Belize a few times I do not remember seeing these hotels! I've always wanted to go back and explore it because it is so pretty.
These look like good options and great places to stay. Thanks for covering all the ways to stay for less.
So awesome. I've heard Belize is just breathtaking.
The place truly looks so wonderful. It would be a blast of fresh air to stay right there.
These are all lovely places to stay. I will bookmark this post. Belize is on my bucket list.
These sound like great place to stay in Belize on the points. This is awesome information for those traveling and planning to use hotel points too. I don't travel but my sister does so this would be a great post to share with her. Thanks for sharing the tips.
Bookmarking so I can try to use some of my points! Woot, what a great list! Thanks.
Sounds like awesome choices! I would love to check this out when we go back to Belize again. Thanks for sharing!
All of these look like great places to stay. The views I'm sure are amazing as well. It's nice to find great places to stay when you're on vacation.
I have heard so many wonderful things about Belize and to stay on points is even a better way to vacation there.
I've got to look into the Southwest Companion Pass. They don't have too many flights out of Cleveland, but there are some. Definitely worth checking out!
I haven't been to Belize yet. It looks like a beautiful country. I am dreaming of sitting on the beach and basking in the warm sunshine. 🙂
Wow thank you for this! I'm currently trying to plan vacation trips for the upcoming year and I didn't even think of Belize but after seeing the pictures and hotels I'll have to do some research!

My Spanish teacher was from belize. Sounds like an amazing place and had been on my bucket list sense highschool!
I have never been to Belize. I learn so much about travel from all of your posts. I enjoy following along on all your adventures!
Each of these options seem lovely to stay in and provide many nice perks! I agree with you on the fact that one shouldn't use all points when traveling here or really other places too. Sometimes you end up using more points than what it is worth! Thank you for the recommendations. 🙂
I love how many options there are. I'm all about saving money on travel and this is a wonderful way to do just that.
Mahogany Bay Village, Curio Collection by Hilton is opening in San Pedro, Ambergris Caye in 2017. Hilton Honors points can be used at this new resort. It's a huge place with resort, private residences, and retail village with sushi restaurant, ayurvedic treatments, aerial yoga, furniture shop, gourmet grocery store, and salon.
Each one of these hotels looks beautiful. Recently, I have started sticking to a particular hotel chain for a few visits so that I get enough points to be able to stay on those points for the next visit. It's awesome
Awesome, I love to save so I will keep this in mind. I've always wanted to visit Belize.
I love earning points when traveling. Free hotel stays are the best.
