The Deep South Hotels

The entire Toledo District has only about 30 hotels, most of them in and around Punta Gorda. Most are small and owner-run. You can usually show up without reservations and look for a place that suits you. Clean rooms are under BZ$100, and for BZ$150-BZ$200 you can stay at a charming small inn. Several jungle lodges have rates of BZ$300 or more, and a couple of the lodges are among the most expensive in the entire country.
