What to Consider Before Booking a Villa or AirBnB Rental in Belize

by McNab Editorial Team

One of the hardest decisions when going on holiday is choosing the right place to stay. In Belize, guests have a fantastic choice of boutique hotels, all-inclusive private island stays, remote jungle lodges and villa rentals. However as Belize gradually reopens in a phased approach, only approved accommodations can accept international guests, while the entire overnight tourism industry transitions towards Gold Standard Certification. With safety at the forefront of Belize’s reopening strategy, all accommodations in Belize’s Tourism Safe Corridor have: 1) successfully been recognized with Gold Standard Certification and 2) been approved to reopen for international guests during Phase 3. Belize’s Gold Standard Program is an extensive 9-point system which elevates the cleaning and workplace policies of hotels. As of September 24, visitors are able to choose from 85 properties approved for Belize’s Reopening in Phase 3.

Air BnB, Vbro, and More

If you’ve been browsing Airbnb, Vbro or any other booking sites, be sure to confirm your villa rental is a Recognized Gold Standard Certified Property. Here are two properties on Ambergris Caye, also found on Vrbo, that are approved to accommodate guests as of October 1, 2020.
