I'm headed to Belize soon, specifically Caye Caulker and Placencia. Been before, but last time was 2017. Looking for current info about the following. Any tips, suggestions, things to avoid, or must do is super appreciated.
What are 2026 taxi prices like? What is a reasonable price to pay for a taxi from the airport to the ferry to Caye Caulker, for example? Also, I'm still okay with just US dollars or should I exchange some?
Rented a car to get down to Placencia - good idea? Any ideas about that drive, good places to stop (or avoid) on the trip down and back? Towns to stop in or nice lunch/food recommendations?
Have to stay in a hotel near the airport that will drop off at the airport to leave. Any suggestions of good places to stay near the airport that will do that?
*Super appreciate any help you can give!
