Do we need A/C in July/Aug - Belize
Do we need A/C in July/Aug in the Cayo District? Looking at different lodges and wondering if an A/C is needed late July/ early August?
Chaa Creek - Cottages; does not have A/C but has fans
Caves Branch Jungle Lodge - Treehouse: has A/C.
Which would you choose?

It depends on your heat tolerance and on luck - some of our summer trips it's been significantly hotter than other times. For years we stayed in budget places, hence no ac. Now we usually (but not always) plan to have it.

I never found the heat to be a big problem except for sleeping, and found a ceiling fan on a low speed to be the best. I never used a/c while living in Belize, and preferred a ceiling fan rather than a floor fan.
It is very hot at that time of year, and a/c will make your stay much more comfortable, especially while sleeping.

We like heat but Belize in July was very humid when we were there. So much so that we now describe extreme humidity as it being "Belize out." So while we were fine with no A/C at Chaa creek, it depends a lot on your heat tolerance. We live in Virginia, USA, and for years didn't use our A/C in the summer so we are on the "high" side of heat tolerance.
