Is the cost of living in Caye Caulker high?

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

"The cost of living in Caye Caulker is considered to be relatively affordable compared to many other tourist destinations. Rent for a one-bedroom apartment in the city center can be quite reasonable, while outside the city center, it can be even cheaper. The cost of utilities such as electricity, heating, cooling, and water is also fairly low. Groceries in Caye Caulker can be more expensive than in other parts of Belize due to the island's remote location. However, local produce and seafood are generally affordable. Eating out at restaurants can vary greatly in price, with local eateries being much cheaper than tourist-oriented restaurants. Transportation costs are minimal as the island is small and most people get around on foot, by bicycle, or golf cart. There is no need for a car on Caye Caulker. Healthcare is also relatively affordable in Belize, but it's worth noting that serious medical conditions may require evacuation to a larger hospital in Belize City or even outside the country, which can be costly. Overall, while Caye Caulker is more expensive than some other parts of Belize, it is still considered affordable, especially for those coming from countries with a higher cost of living," wrote a member who made the move to Caye Caulker, Belize.
