ROI varies (8–15%+ possible with high occupancy in tourist seasons). Popular areas see 60–85% occupancy; include revenue from rooms, dining, tours. Ongoing costs: staff salaries, utilities, maintenance ($50K–$200K+/year), insurance (hurricane critical), marketing. Low property taxes; no capital gains in Belize; cash flow from tourism drives value.

Ambergris Caye (San Pedro) leads for high tourism, occupancy, and beachfront appeal. Placencia offers relaxed beaches and growth potential. Jungle areas like Cayo or Hopkins attract eco-lodges. Southern spots and atolls gain traction for exclusivity; tourism boom in 2026 favors coastal and nature-based resorts.
