"We stayed here with our family of five over Christmas and had a wonderful time. We really appreciated that the hotel offered a free shuttle twice a day so that we could go to the grocery store or into Placencia. My husband and I got couples massages at the hotel spa, which were fantastic. Our three teenage kids enjoyed the beach and the pool, and loved playing beach volleyball. We really loved the breakfast at the restaurant at the hotel. Our favorite dinner, however, was at the Maya Bistro, which is a short walk down the beach. It was absolutely delicious! The hotel also made it very easy to book excursions. We went snorkeling and also took the Monkey River tour, where we got to see howler monkeys. It was amazing! We stayed in a two bedroom lagoon view room, and it was gorgeous. We loved seeing all of the wildlife from our balcony, including many different kinds of birds. The entire resort was very peaceful and laid-back, a perfect relaxing vacation. The rooms are equipped with a kitchen, which has all the basics to cook your own meals, which did save us some money. It’s also good to know that you can use American dollars or Belizean dollars in Belize. Also, if it is your first time visiting Placencia, just know that you will need to take a short flight from Belize city to Placencia. You can book on either Maya air or Tropic air. This was a wonderful first visit to Belize and we hope to be back! "

Comfortable bed, large bathroom and it was nice having the option of leaving windows open so we could hear the crashing waves or turning on the AC if the humidity was high. The staff was fantastic. Thank you!"
