The Placencia Hotel boasts a sprawling compound and a gorgeous big pool, perfect for unwinding and soaking up the Belizean sun. The staff truly shines here – they’re friendly, helpful, and always willing to go the extra mile to ensure a pleasant stay. While my overall experience was enjoyable, the restaurant menu could benefit from more variety. With a few more options, it would be even better.

Hey, it looks just like the Pictures!!! Those were my first thoughts walking in on my first day. This Resort is well WORTH the money 💴. The PLACENCIA HOTEL is a ⭐️⭐️⭐️ RESORT. To be clear I am NOT a Beck & Call kinda person, nor will I ever be so I don’t need 4/5 star experiences to have a good time. I need: CLEAN ⭐️, SAFE ⭐️⭐️, and COMFORTABLE( conveniences) ⭐️⭐️⭐️. Anything more you start rackin up more stars 😊. The workers here are so down to earth nice & hard working & receptive( they are on it, when you’re asking.) You can see some maintenance & attention to detail things that will stand out. For instance we all know that ANY & EVERY Hotel has issues where things come up completely unexpected, correct?But in a 4/5 star experience it’s about how timely the situation is addressed & resolved, & they are also much more focused on presentation to some of the smallest details. Honestly, The Placencia Hotel Resort is just a couple of consistent things away from being a FOUR STAR experience. Here are the Answers to the 2 Big Questions that a person should be concerned with. 1) Would I stay here again? ( YES) 2) Would I recommend them to friends/ family. ( YES) I very much Enjoyed my stay. There is another thing to note. The hotel is called The Placencia Hotel Resort, however it is actually 11 miles North of the town of Placencia. The town of Placencia is where a lot of the water activities start from. However this Hotel does offer a shuttle for eveywhere. At no extra

The property is very beautiful and well taken care of. The staff was incredible from the front desk to house keeping and taxi drivers!

I love Belize and their people!

Beautiful property, friendly staff, large pool area great for adults and children, onsite restaurant was a plus. Parking is a good distance from some rooms/buildings. The room was the only thing lacking for our stay. Dated, squeaky bed, dim bathroom lighting, limited space to hold things in room (could be set up better), only two standard pillows on our bed.

The outside grounds were impeccable. Pool area & landscaping were stunning. Rooms were very dated & worn out. Old, giant jet tub & broken tiles in bathroom. Dim, CFL bulbs in lamps. Not 1 single USB outlet in rooms.Large veranda with gorgeous views, but only 2 small, wooden beach chairs to sit in, but it was too hard to get in or out of, so we didn’t sit out there. Breakfast in restaurant was very good. Dinner at outdoor spot was just so-so. Pool staff was great. No shuttle working. Also, a 25 minute drive to village. No walking to village.

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!

Staff was friendly, but the room was very outdated, damaged and poor quality. Also, we had issues with booking thru Expedia. We had booked one additional night, and then the hotel cancelled us without notice because they were “booked” on our last night. But the hotel kept showing availability in Expedia and on their website..

If you are looking for a beautiful, private, quiet beach get away this is the place. The staff was very nice and friendly— truly they were a gem. Stayed during the week and it felt like we had the resort to ourselves, the pool and beach just steps away from our room. The cons: the resort is a bit dated, the food is good but a very limited menu and dinner is overpriced for what you get. The resort is far north of the village so you can’t walk anywhere (too hot), we got taxis to eat at other resorts nearby (~2 miles away) just to get some variety. The shuttle service didn’t really work for us but taxis were easy enough, just schedule your pick-up in advance before you leave.

We loved our stay at The Placencia. Truthfully, I was feeling a bit concerned after we booked and then I read other people’s reviews but I’m so glad that we never cancelled. The grounds were beautiful, the pool was amazing as was the beach and all the meals that we had were lovely. The staff truly went above and beyond and were very welcoming. We didn’t have great success with the WiFi but we didn’t go on vacation to be connected to the internet. Yes, the resort is about 20 minutes from Placencia but we really enjoyed the quietness of this place and we knew going in that it wasn’t right in the village. Best I can figure is that anyone who commented negatively about this place hasn’t done much traveling as if they had they would know this place is amazing. Yes, there is some paint touch ups that could be done but regardless the resort is still wonderful. The staff truly went out of the way to ensure we had a nice stay. The room was very clean as was every area that we saw. We will definitely be back!!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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).

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.

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.
