Placencia Resort

We truly enjoyed our week at the Placencia resort. The 3 bedroom suite was just right for our multi-generational family trip, the pool was fabulous fun, and the Pier restaurant is peaceful, beautiful, and serves delicious food. I was disappointed to discover that, for what-ever reason, many of the promised amenities that had us choose this resort were not available during our time there: For example, there is only 1 restaurant, there is little that's child friendly asidefrom the pool; the pool and the children's pool are the same thing, meaning our 5 yo had to swim around loud mouthed drunks in the afternoon, if there were laundry facilities we never found them, and the only water sport equipment was available. Its clear the resort is being updated, but the work motto seems to be "it looks okay if you don't get too close." Lovely, bright rooms and ancient lumpy futons to sit on; nicely tiled bathroom and grubby stained bathtub. Etc. I would recommend the Placencia, and I would go back there. I justthink people should be fore-warned that the marketing exceeds the reality.

When we checked in, we were asked to pay a 40 US resort fee that we were not aware of when I booked so that was a sudden surprise. The prices at the restaurant were quite high. The beds were not the greatest. They were on wheels so they moved a lot.. but the pool was amazing. The water was warm. The staff was friendly and kind not usually the kind of place I stay, but I would go back for the pool.

The property is beautiful and the staff was very accommodating but it did not engulf the Belizean culture as I expected it would. The menu did not incorporate the traditional culture or have more than one Belizean option. Most of it was American food. There should be more of the culture and more things to do on the resort outside of the pool/dining. I wish there was more activities at the resort instead of trying to entertain myself most of the time. It was relaxing but I’d like to have fun on vacation too and creating that fun in an unknown area is difficult. I wish there were more food options for me to get to know the areas best things about it. More activities like a food tour provided by the resort like yoga just a celebration of the culture and that was not it.

Agradable y bonito lugar. Bien atendidos.

A very nice stay I will be staying here again on my next visit for sure

The entire staff was so friendly & helpful, especially our Shuttle Driver Ronald. The Pier Restaurant complete remodel was so very well done, with great food & very friendly service. Stunning Pool area. Phenomenal landscaping.

Television reception at night was horrible, as it would freeze permanently. We were only allowed (oddly) one washcloth to share each day. Pier Restaurant Prices were way too high. Shuttle to Placencia Village was only available at certain restrictive times.

Gorgeous resort, beautiful location right on beach, helpful staff, amazing and large pool, restaurant on the pier was top notch for atmosphere and food. Ate 6 meals there.

For getting this hotel at a “VIP access” was nothing but a lie! The hotel was expensive, the room smelled musty, there was food marks left on the counters, the bathroom floor had bits of toilet paper left, the toilet seat was left open, the extra mirror light didn’t work, there was a broken towel rack pieces left over, one of the head lights were dangling out, our bed headboard was broken, the lamp was broken, and most importantly there reusable water tanks were always empty. When I told this to the front desk, they didn’t do anything. So I was just simply very disappointed for the cost for this resort and wish I would’ve gave my money to the local hotels.

Staff is wonderful. Property is "tired" looking. No bicycles avail for use as mentioned in property details. New Pier Bar is pretty but the food was not cooked well.

Wonderful, fast, luggage service and a beautiful hotel to arrive at
