Rates & Dive Services

Clear pricing for a remote atoll dive lodge — no surprises, no hidden fees.

At Itza Resort, our rates reflect the realities of operating on a remote coral atoll and the value of small-group diving, personalized service, and immediate access to some of Belize’s most legendary sites.

This is not mainland pricing — and not mainland logistics.
Our rates are designed to be transparent, fair, and aligned with the experience we deliver.

That’s because you’re staying on a remote coral atoll, not the mainland.

What a Typical Stay Looks Like

Most guests don’t book just a room.

A typical stay at Itza includes:

  • 4–7 nights accommodation
  • Daily meal plan
  • 8–14 dives
  • Blue Hole excursion
  • Round-trip boat transfer

This creates a complete dive experience at Lighthouse Reef — not just a place to stay.
