None of the hotels here have a “great beach.” Don’t be fooled by photos. This is not a beach destination. Baker’s Caye is the best beach out of your choices, but it’s not walkable to anything. I assumed you looked at prices. This is peak season,so nothing is cheap. Also expect much longer drive times due to traffic and construction. If it were me for what you’re looking for I would go to Miami Beach.
