This place was such a great find. We stayed in one of the suites and had a room overlooking the lagoon. We saw starfish and a Spotted Eagle Ray right off the dock in front of our room. The staff are all super friendly and helpful. Drinks are reasonably priced at the bar and the pool is sparkling clean! We took the bus in (5.5 hours from Belize City or 2.5 from Belmopan on the express bus). Town is about a 5 to 10 minute walk and taxi to town is only US$2.50. Taking the boat across was super easy and quick, even in the pouring rain one day. Sunsets from the island are amazing and it is indescribably peaceful. Our room had a small fridge, a coffee maker with coffee and sugar, a microwave, and dinnerware for two. Beds were comfy and showers were hot. Absolutely no criticism of this place at all. I wish we could have stayed longer!
The property itself actually looks really cute and picturesque. The location is pretty unique though - you have to cross the canal by boat in order to reach it and the boat service is only until midnight. I had a private room that didn't have view, AC or bathroom and really was more like a closet plus the smell was really weird. It is not the worst option though if you are a budget traveler.
They do have a swimming pool; the accommodations are budget. They do not emphasis that the bathroom are in a separate place(not in the rooms). They also do not tell you the room are 6 ft by 11ft. It felt like being in a prison cell. I can say that the pool was good and the swim up bar is nice. They do offer some rooms with the bathroom in the room. The owners were nice and the boat ride across to the island is about 1 minute long and neat. If you are looking for a basis place to sleep that is clean and near the center of town this is a good option.
En general todo muy bien, el hotel esta bien ubicado y hay lugar para dejar lancha si uno llega por agua, el único inconveniente que tuvimos fue que no hicieron limpieza ni las camas nos quedamos 2 noches.
When my daughter arrives they has cancelled her reservation without notice. The attendant was rude and foul mouthed. They did offer her a room without a door to sleep in. I would NOT recommend this property and I am not happy with Expedia for cancelling without notice. My daughter was travelling alone for the first time and has to scramble to find a place to sleep on the first night of arrival not being familiar with the city. Very unhappy
The unique thing is that you can only reach the property by boat. Which seemed very quaint at first but really is a bit of a pain after a day or two. The boat was always available, if no one was around when you wanted to go across there was a bell to ring and the staff came immediately but really it would have been much nicer to just be able to go to our car and not have to rely on a boat ride to get to it. As charming as that feature was it got old rather fast. I made an error when booking the room, got my dates wrong, and we asked the owner if we could change our reservation and leave a day early to catch our flight. He said that was fine but we would need to go through expedia for the refund because that was how we booked. Expedia told us they had to check with the property owner. We received an email later in the day from expedia saying the owner had declined our request so we had to pay for the extra day. I get that is their policy but still was unexpected and disappointing. Aside from that the room was fine except for a musty smell (possibly the shower?) and there was only one chair in the room, we had room 1. Outside there was a wooden bench with no back or cushions or shade from the sun so uncomfortable and hot to sit outside which was a shame. Einstein, the resident dog, was the highlight. He was very friendly, would come scratch on our door in the morning and spend some time with us. He did bark at dogs on other side of marina but that's what dogs do.
We had originally booked with Carol's Cabanas and they simply cancelled our reservation the day before we were to go! Angry, we settled for Sailfish, but it turned out to be a blessing in disguise !! The pool was awesome, the swimup bar is great! There is a little canal that seperates the road from the hotel, but you just push a doorbell and they come grab you instantly. The room was big, one of our mattresses was really bad, but the other was fine.
Cool location and swimming pool was nice.
Only downfall was the witness you can take the water taxi over. Last one is at midnight so if you’re in town and lose track of time...you’re hooped!
Loved this place, couple of things could of made it prefect...
1. Pick up from town
2. Breakfast and snack options (currently no food available)
3. Umbrellas around the pool (there awaiting delivery)
I arrived by bus from independence, and got the hoody pokey, once arrived in town, I could work out how to get to the hotel so bad to ask for direction, which meant i had to get a taxi, as it's a bit of a walk.
Shuttles over the water gap are whenever you need them just ring the bell.
Should stay here again, the rooms are clean and the staff are lovley...
The dog and ball were a bonus!!
Had a private room with shared bathroom, this has clean, and when I stayed not busy so bad no issues.
Wi-Fi worked in main areas but not room which was fine

Estadia año nuevo 2018-2019. Establecimiento es aceptable. Obtienes por lo que pagas. Habitaciones amplias. El Wi Fi no llegaba a mi habitación. Me quede en una Suite. Si vas en carro, el acceso es terrible, no hay parqueo. Tienes que dejar tu carro en la orilla de la calle sin ninguna seguridad. A mi me robaron la placa delantera de mi carro en la 3ra noche, situación que me complicó no solo mi estadia en Placencia si no tambien el retorno a Guatemala.
This was a great place to stay in Placencia. They have a little boat that takes you across the canal if you want to head into town. It’s a short 10 minute walk to the Main Street. The pool bar was great and refreshing! The staff were all very nice.
