If you take a taxi, which will in all probability be one of quite a few rather old Toyota vans, it should be about $10 BZE from either the dock or the airport.
Pedro, aka Peter is a British expat who knows absolutely everything about Ambergirs Caye...great source for info...
I assume you've seen his website...http://backpackersbelize.com/
(If you click on "PHOTOS" at the top, Peter is in the first top left pix.)

I also assume your reference to a 3:30 arrival and staying the night on Caye Caulker implies you are taking the water taxi over? If not and you are going by air, I can assure you there will be others on the flight from DFW going to San Pedro that same day and Tropic Air (can't say about Maya) will get you there that afternoon...
i got this reply from peter who quoted a higher than marketed charge for his rooms in december:

you are coming in super high season
we are very popular-you are taking the last room
changes and latitudes is across th rod from us-look wha they charge-with no swimming pool,no bar,no real food,no space
check their site www.ambergiscaye.com/lattudes/
I believe my prices are super cheap for the value our guests receive
chek www.tripadr.com for reviews
peter.

im still considering
