Is the cost of living in Ambergris Caye high?

Answer this Question

We asked people how much they someone comfortably live on in Ambergris Caye, they wrote...

"The cost of living in Ambergris Caye, can be considered moderate to high compared to other parts of Belize, largely due to its popularity as a tourist destination. Rent for a one-bedroom apartment in the city center can be quite expensive, while outside the city center, it is somewhat cheaper. When it comes to utilities, including electricity, heating, cooling, water, and garbage, the monthly cost is relatively affordable. Internet connection is also reasonably priced. Groceries in Ambergris Caye can be more expensive than in other parts of Belize due to the island's remote location. This includes basic items like milk, bread, fruits, vegetables, and meat. Eating out at restaurants can range from moderately priced at local spots to quite expensive at high-end tourist-oriented establishments. Transportation costs are relatively low, as the island is small and most people get around on foot, by bicycle, or by golf cart. However, owning and maintaining a golf cart can add to your expenses. Healthcare in Ambergris Caye is affordable compared to U.S. standards, but it's worth noting that serious medical conditions may require travel to the mainland or even out of the country. Overall, while Ambergris Caye can be more expensive than other parts of Belize, it is still generally cheaper than many U.S. cities. However, the cost of living can vary greatly depending on lifestyle and personal spending habits," wrote a member who made the move to Ambergris Caye, Belize.
