This is a delightful place. Its right on the beach and has a terrific pool with waterfall and swings! Cocktails and food are lovely and well priced. Some of the room was a bit tired looking but to be expected in a coastal resort. I would stay here again for sure!

When I booked through this app they false advertised this resort as all inclusive. Eventually I found out there is an all inclusive option it’s just thousands of dollars more. From the moment I searched ‘all inclusive’ all the way until the moment I booked it kept telling me that I had the all inclusive option…. Get to the hotel, “you didn’t book the all inclusive ma’am that is an additional price”. Get to our room there is a swarm of mosquitos right above our entrance/door (I looked at others’ room and no one else had that problem). When I mentioned it to the front desk associate she recommended I “just keep the door closed”. However, a couple of days later I saw maintenance or whoever spraying someone’s patio area with something for the mosquitos. We originally booked a double queen room, the bed was on wheels, and was moving as well as one of the beds were almost caving in, not to mention the headboard was peeling/ bleeding and staining the pillows… The most beautiful inconvenience of it all was after we had got out the beautiful pool with the dope swim up bar, we went back to the room to shower, as we had dinner reservations in placencia town, and of course there’s not a drop of hot water coming from the shower… This is when we had went to front desk to demand a new room, as that was our last straw… The only room that was available was a suite, and they tried to have us pay the upgrade fee?? For our inconvenience?? Pay more?? Absolutely not, called manager, got suite.

It's showing it's age. The repairs made are basic and obvious, not quality you would expect.
The food was subpar for the price. I get that you are paying for the location and ambiance but really need to step up the food quality.
Lose all the fried foods, and hire chefs who know how to cook seafood. Ordered the platters and all of it was overcooked and the fish was rubbery.
8.0
The beach area is not wide or particularly nice sand, but the thatch shades on the beach are very nice. The water near shore is not clear, and not inviting for swimming.
The pool area and swim up bar are very nice. The rooms are clean and comfortable.
I saw very few actual guests here, which seemed odd.

The rooms are clean, spacious and comfortable. The pool is large and clean. The staff is super friendly and respectful. The building i stayed in was beautiful on the inside but could use a little touch up paint on the outside.

The grounds are beautifully kept. A lot of renovation is taking place & is needed.
Meal menu needs to be expanded. Shuttle was out

Beautiful, very well maintained grounds.
Great, helpful staff.
A bit dated but nice rooms. Some with full kitchens.
Terrible food. Don't waste your money on AI option.

Pool and staff were great. But VERY FAR from the main village with all the good cheap food. This hotel charges expensive prices, they automatically charge a tip and don’t tell you, all in American dollars, for crappy food. Must have a car, so you can dine in village. All restaurants there are nicely priced in Belize dollars, tip on your own, and good. Beds and bedding old and rooms are rundown, and showers need to be updated. Only positive, like I said, the pool is awesome and the staff was so sweet and friendly.

Everything at the hotel was excellent besides the room refrigerator, where the freezer or fridge was not cooling enough to store food safely.

It’s a beautiful property and our stay was wonderful however our room had broken blinds, bad tv connection, no streaming services (we had a child with us) and the only option for our room type was facing a run down building and tennis court. The outside of the building needs some work and our balcony wasn’t very clean as there was hand marks and make up all over the door. Still enjoyed the stay and would consider returning.
5.0
Property was beautiful the staff was beyond amazing they were all friendly and helpful when you had questions. The only thing that I think they could improve on is more variety for the dinner menu. Smaller
portion options along with being able to choose lunch options along with entree choices for dinner menu. We had such a wonderful trip and would definitely recommend and will stay here again when I travel back to Belize.

For the most part the stay at The Placencia was great. Had issues with hot water not working. Had to get it fixed every day. But the maintenance guy was right there to get it to work again.
2.0
Our stay at the Placencia was ok. My biggest frustration was not seeing a way to book tours through the hotel in advance of our arrival, only to have the tours be sold out when we arrived. Luckily we found a place in the village able to take us snorkeling on the reef. The room itself was actually pretty comfortable despite being in somewhat rough shape (broken blinds and burnt out light bulbs). The comforter also had some brown stains on it when we arrived, but that was replaced immediately after I reported it so I did appreciate that. The grounds of the resort are beautiful and the pool was perfect, but the food options are really limited and pretty meh. Trying to get to other food options is also difficult since the shuttle only has 1 stop and only goes by there every 3 hours (which is a long time to kill if you're just going into town for a meal).

I had a beautiful stay. The room could use some work but overall the stay was wonderful. The staff are very kind and accommodating and the chocolate honey wrap massage I had was amazing. I would definitely stay here again.

The pictures did not reflect the condition of the rooms and the resort itself. It was run down, not clean, mold in the bathtub, broken and missing window screens. The air conditioning didnt work properly and overall the resort needed a ton deferred maintenance. We would never recommend this place.

The resort is run down like the online pics don’t match what you get. We moved rooms 2 times. The first the room smelled of mold really bad. The second move they moved us to a beautiful room but the ac died after one day. And the temp inside got to 82 before they moved us again. As the ac had to be replaced no one’s fault it’s the Caribbean. The pool is very beautiful and they were in the process of re-tiling the bar. Food is priced in American dollars even though all the other resorts in the area are in Belizean dollars. We felt it was a bit high it was what you’d pay in the states. We also tried ordered room service which they asked if we would come to the restaurant to pick up our order. That they were too busy with other things. Seemed to defeat the purpose of room service. The grounds are very nice and everyone who works there are very friendly. I think we heard the owner was in some kind of law suit with his partner from the last five years. Which explains the disarray of some of the rooms. They are actively making fixes so perhaps it settled. Either way it will probably up to snuff in the next year as they make updates.

Staff were super friendly and helpful. Pier dining was cool. We had fun using the kayaks and paddle boards. Corn hole and volleyball were also available.
Resort was advertised as a four star. However the rooms are quite dated and need upgrades.

The resort was beautiful and the staff was friendly and professional. It was an enjoyable week and I will definitely go again. We arrived after the dinoing room had closed but the staff opened to feed us as it had been a long trip.
The only problem, and it wasn't a big one, was it was advertised as a free shuttle from the airport. However, the shuttle from the international airport only arrives and departs once a day. I would recommend taking the hopper which is only a 15 minute flight.

The property was average. The room I was in needed some tlc. The room need to be painted and around the doors and other entry points need to be sealed. I had small lizards running at the top of my room walls. Most of the time the lizards would be making noise at night as they were running at the top of the wall. The best part about this property is the staff and pool area. Both are very nice.
3.0
The resort is beautiful with very spacious rooms, a huge & very clean pool, swim up bar, friendly staff, free paddle boarding and kayaking, beautiful landscaping, very clean beaches.
We had a one bedroom condo with a spacious master with king bed and tv, large bath with jacuzzi tub, spacious closet, very updated kitchen, living area and huge balcony with a gorgeous pool and ocean view. It is well worth the money. I will definitely be back!

Place was nice; staff was very friendly and accommodating. We were a little disappointed with the listing description. Booked a 3 bedroom villa, but all rooms were not open to each other. In fact, one bedroom could only be accessed from outside the villa, which I was not excited by since we were traveling with our two children. Also, it should be noted that while it is not the resort’s fault, Belize is experiencing a sargassum problem that made the beach pretty unusable and a bit smelly.

We came for our honeymoon and had a lot of fun! The staff was super friendly and helpful. The property was beautiful! We were bummed that the beach/water off the beach was full of seaweed that had a strong smell in the morning but nothing they can do about that. Pool/pool bar was great right off the beach. They offer a shuttle into town throughout the day but we just rented a golf cart to get around on our own time. Overall a wonderful time!

We stayed one night prior to a sailing trip, and the staff was wonderful, the property perfect for what we needed, and I would love to visit again in the future.

Beautiful resort. Bring your own snacks though. Nothing close by and no stores or even vending machines at resort.
Staff was amazing and loved the view.
Also, we saw the crocodile in the pond 2 of the days we were there. Very cool.

Highly recommend this establishment! If your looking for a family trip, friends (girls) trip, solo trip, or couples trips. Go here! Love the atmosphere! Awesome drinks and food. Addition to, the staff members are helpful and friendly. And not to mention the pool looks just like the pictures. What you see via pictures is what you get!

Any place with a swim up bar where I can sip pina coladas all day is fine by me! Great breakfast and dinner too at the pier where the fish always tasted so fresh! I'll be back here next time, the staff is so friendly and really passionate about sharing Belize

Excellent food (love the fry jacks) and fun time at the pool. The staff makes you feel at home
