Pool and grounds were beautiful and well maintained. Very nice property.
The room was small and had a very small bed. The ocean was not clear, but had a weird muddy bottom. But the pool was beautiful. Also they were spraying chemicals to help with the bugs but did this often, which gave me a headache.

The pool was the highlight of the trip. The landscape was beautiful with lots of iguana running around free.
The room and bathroom were small. The decorated bed head was outdated and chipping off on the pillows. The chairs on the veranda were not comforted and more decorative. The view from our room was horrible (bush and a outdated tennis court). There was a live roach in the room. Our reservation was for 4 persons, but when we got to the room it was prepared for only 2 persons. I had had to call for extra towel, coffee cup and pillow!

I was upgraded to a master suite which was very comfy. The staff was great; always friendly and helpful. I loved the excursions booked through them. The meals that I ate on the property were all tasty. The shuttle service into town is very useful. The spa is another great place to be pampered. The pool is also outstanding!
The resort is a distance from town and without a personal vehicle, it is a little inconvenient (though they do run a shuttle 4x/day). There are 3 dining locations on property but they are all serving the same exact menu. Lots of sargasso seaweed is washed up on the beach even though the staff works hard raking it up every morning. Just something to be aware of pretty much all over.

Nothing! We left a few days early and found another hotel to stay at down the road until we could check into our current hotel booked through your company.
Our room had mold on the walls, doors had stains with we are not sure what, dirty & stained bedding and towels, shower handles were broke, water leaked onto floor when using the shower, we asked about water and was told the outside faucet where the animals drank from was our water source for refill a small water container, phone in the room was broken so we made several trips back and forth to front desk to let them know we were unhappy with the very poor conditions. I have the WhatsApp and tried calling and texting front desk and no answer. Restaurant was limited with food choices. When we asked for room service we were told no but we could order from restaurant and take back to the room. At night the pathway lighting to and from the parking area, drop off, front entrance, pathways to and from rooms and the pier were not working, broken or just missing light bulbs. Stairs, walkways and paths were crumbling or missing step stones.
There are so many things that need immediate repair or replaced due to being a hazard. We spoke to several workers and was told the owner has ran out of money. The resort would need approximately
2 million dollars to start the current repairs. The online pictures that is currently being used to advertise is false advertising. Pictures are from many many many years ago. we were not the only couple that left the resort early.

The pool was great, as well as the food and the staff. The beach is well tended to look pristine. Great atmosphere all in all.
They flat-out refused to give me a tax invoice, even after Booking.com's intervention (you connect the dots here 😉) so that 12.5% you pay on top of everything is a rip-off.

I was charged way more than the total when I entered credit card information. Not only that, but it was charged 2 times, on different dates.

On the water restaurant at night. Beautiful scenic especially with the rising moon.
The general property can do with abit of a face-lift.

Resort grounds were well kept
Disappointing. The grounds are beautiful but the rooms are severely dated. Our sheets were dirty upon arrival, towels still stained, shower was stained. The trim had been removed but not replaced from the bathroom door and it would not close or lock. We had a "two bedroom suite" which was just two separate rooms with the doors in between unlocked. Coffee/sugar in room was clearly not fresh/changed between guests which is not sanitary. You share doors with the rooms next door therefore you hear everything in the room next to you. The hotel was virtually empty during our stay yet we still had guests on top of and beside us so it was extremely difficult to sleep during the night due to noise.
Food at the restaurant was pretty good. Drinks are expensive, they didn't honor their own advertised happy hour...? Overall, there are many better places to stay in Placencia that are nicer and much closer to the village.

The pool of course. Best pool in Belize. Kids enjoyed seeing the iguanas, playing on the beach, and there's a large shallow area of the pool for them. The resort offers a free shuttle into Placencia and that's a great offer!
The gym gets flooded. The Tennis Courts are ruined. The TV/Technology is from the late 90's (at least before USB's). And the staff could show a little more excitement or smiles. The internet was decent but there wasn't a desk or business area that I could find to work.

The restaurant menu was very limited and lacked local cuisine, however the food they had was excellent. The pool bar closed too early and there was absolutely nothing to do after 8:30
