Unless they finished the road in the past two years: it's a pain to get to.
We went a few years ago and were really surprised it wasn't more famous and had more tourists. I feel like there were about a dozen tourists visiting the day we went.

The massive road project is making good progress, but still has a ways to go. (That being said, I wouldn't hesitate going in any regular car.)
(I'm glad we were able to visit before the road was finished - we had the place almost entirely to ourselves.)
However, it is only 5.3km from the Guatemalan border and there is quite a lot of illegal encroachment so there is a contingent of armed military guards at Caracol.
