Beautiful place with beautiful views!

Villa Castillo is set in a private, gated community along the Placencia lagoon. The villa is very large and open. The villa consists of two large decks that wrap around the house facing the beautiful views of the lagoon. There is plenty of space forca large family or a few couples to spread out and be comfortable. I usually have to go sone work while on vacation and upstairs office was perfect for me to work. While staying at the Villa you have access to the Placencia Resort with is within walking distance. We enjoyed the restaurant called the Pier. The food was exceptional and the night walk to the restaurant was fantastic. I workout every morning and the gym was small but well kept with workout towles available. Equipment was a combination of walking machinery mixed with kettlebells and a variety of dumbells. The pool is excellent consisting of a swimmip bar and large pool below and a warmer pool uptop wich is not as deep perfect for the kiddo's or to warm up if you get chilly. Great place plenty of room and spectacular views overlooking the lagoon. Gared community with gate guard 24-7. We loved it.

Stay Was good, property was very nice. Had issues with clothes dryer. There were no instructions at property. So had issues on how things worked at house. But property was good and everything and staff at the Placencia Resort was excellent

This was probably once a beautiful home and it still is in many ways. Unfortunately a lot of things are broken and need maintenance. We also felt communication, while usually quick when we requested it, was a bit lacking. For example, it seemed like sometimes we were getting a form letter with some of the information blanked out. Like it would say “here are some local favourites:” but then nothing would be listed. Or “email us at” and then it would be blanked out. Additionally, although they said they would update us about someone coming to check on several issues we brought up, nobody ever did. The air conditioning was not working on the lower level and on the upper level it was on a timer that we had no control over and couldn’t adjust at all. Someone did come and try to fix it the first night but it wasn’t fixed and nobody ever came back. The dryer also did not work as it was apparently clogged somewhere in the wall (according to the error code) which was something we couldn’t access. And there was no hot water at all in the showers. By the end of the week we had managed to get a little warm water in the lower floor showers but we showered in cold water the entire time in the master bedroom. Additionally the place is not very well stocked, a lot is missing. And while we did have acccess to the resort we found the resort wasn’t in great shape either. Communication was also terrible there and the gym is literally molding. Pool is beautiful there though.
