Prices should not vary based on booking through your hotel (though it still behooves you to double check). Generally you'd get charged the same price and hotel gets a commission.
I really trust my hotel after numerous stays per year over fifteen years. While I take care of booking my own dives, I've no hesitation in having my hotel book tours, golf carts and puddle jumper flights for me. Often it all just gets thrown into the hotel bill and i only have to pull out the credit card once.
You should be able to trust Paradise Villas to book for you too, though yes, do find out who they select.
My recommendation is not to book anything until you arrive. That time of year, you'll want to be making decisions based on weather.
Chimneys, there must have been some miscommunication between you and Belize diving services. It is highly unlikely that they include Blue Hole and/or Turneffe day trips within their 10 dive package.
