Placencia Resort

I have been coming here for several years and it is a great property that is very poorly managed at the top levels. Things have broken and not replaced. The rooms are tired and needing upgrades. I know they are slowly working on making thing better, but talk is cheap. The restaurant on the pier is new, but way over priced for Belize. The people who work at the resort are fabulous. Friendly and eager to help with anything. It is the management that is bad. From the owner down. I would not recommend staying here until all renovations are done. Only then will I come back.

nice place

some staff on bar near pool was rude. But other guy was very polite.

The hotel was beautiful! Everybody was friendly. We had the best time there overall out of our whole experience in Belize. We’re definitely going back again!

I filed a claim against this already. Very misleading information prior to booking plus bed bugs when checked in room and had to move to another room

The resort is beautiful, no denying that! Very clean and comfortable rooms (apart from the shower). They kindly provide drinking water, and tea and coffee making facilities. Food options decent, however better food in neighbouring resorts or in Placencia Village.

There are no local convenience stores. The closest place is Placencia village - you either take the hotel shuttle, which isn’t the most reliable, or need to call for a taxi. Taxis seemed quite sparse. It is a 25 minute drive to Placencia village. The telephone number for the hotel online doesn’t work - one evening the shuttle didn’t arrive to pick us up at the prior confirmed time, and we couldn’t get through to the hotel to ask for any help. There were a couple of times we were told there are not enough beach towels. Staff trying their best, but do need more training. The showers were very dated, and not comfortable to use.

When there it was very nice. The food was okay but way overpriced.

Excelente place to stay

The grounds of the property were very beautiful and well kept. The iguanas were an added bonus as they were always hanging out in the tree to watch. It is right on the water and the beach was really nice. Beautiful sand and well groomed. However, there were tons of bugs and the bites made it almost impossible to lay in the beach chair. The rooms were older and there was a lot of mold in shower and bathroom area. The kitchen was missing some key items for cooking like a skillet and mixing bowl. The stove did not work and we called to get it fixed but no one came for the 6 days we were there. House keeping was not very good either. Some days very minimal cleaning was done, like emptying the trash but not replacing the trash bags. Two of the days house keeping was really good. We were there over Christmas so maybe they had a lot of staff off for the holiday. The restaurants were a big disappointment. There are not three of them. The is a pool bar where you can get drinks, a main restaurant which was often closed for dinner and when they were open they had few options because “that is not available today” and the third restaurant was alway open but had limited options because they were often out of stuff and they were more expensive than any other restaurant we went to. We ended up leaving the resort most days for dinner. There are some good restaurants not too far but you will need a car. Overall we were happy with the beach but the restaurants were a challenge.

The staff was extremely accommodating! Very helpful in arranging excursions, transportation, and dining reservations.

Outside of the property is beautiful Awesome pool nice beach very cleaned the rooms inside however are very dated our shower was ugly moldy The property is being updated by a new owner should be awesome in the coming years I believe it's a little overpriced for its current condition Only had one meal breakfast was on par
