Location, cleanliness and good value were the high points for Carol's Cabanas.
Internet was spotty, constantly dropping while connected. Very weak signal was always an issue.
3.4
Really great value to stay in a clean and spacious accommodation in the heart of Placencia.
The exact location of our unit was on the street, but it wasn't too noisy.
3.4
location was great. it was a 5 minute walk to the beach, restaurants and supermarket. The apartment was well equipped with stove, fridge and toaster oven. Towels, linens and bathroom toiletries were also provided. The apartment was clean and comfortable. There was a hammock on the verandah and a clothesline to hang our wet towels. etc.
Although we felt safe, the locks on the doors could be better. We did not have hot water the first day as there were no instructions on how to switch it on. We did get that information the next day. It would be good to provide those instructions to persons either beforehand or leave it in the apartment.

The location was supreme! Katharine was on top of everything!
Anything I needed…she had withinin the hour!
Walking distance to everything! Beach, shopping, bars, restaurants ,even hardware store if you need something.
Nich’s Sport Bar was my go to. Handy, (2doors down) and offers a free shot! if KC Chiefs scores a touchdown !

Proximity to the beach.
visibility at night. we were unable to locate the room. however, we got some assistance.

The property was clean.
The accommodation was much more basic than shown in the photographs for the property on booking.com. I stayed in a basic wooden shed, but the photos on booking.com show a building that has plastered walls and looks of sturdier construction. The photos also show a much better interior decoration than I experienced. In the place that I stayed all the walls were of wooden construction. It is very misleading and I would say that it is mis-selling the accommodation. The wi-fi did not work most of the time which was my only contact with the outside world. There was never anyone there that I could discuss issues with. I did get a text at one point. I was without water for sometime, but I think that this affected the whole of Placencia. The hot tap water was luke warm which was okay for me. The accommodation was also very over priced for what you get. The location was also quite noisy and I was awoken many times late in the night ie between 2pm and 5pm. There was no oven or microwave as shown in the photos on booking.com. Also, the property is very near to two mobile phone antennas.

It was a great location.
Bed broke when we went to get in bed on the 2nd night. Mattress in the other bedroom was very thin. You could feel all the springs.
3.4
Liked the location and the screened-in porch. Description said it was one bedroom, but photos showed two bedrooms. It did, in fact, have two bedrooms, which was nice. Living area was decent. One bedroom had a very comfy mattress.
The second bedroom had a very uncomfortable mattress, like sleeping on box springs alone. Also, we only had water in the middle of the night and just before checkout, so we were unable to shower, and we could only flush the toilet a few times. We had to use the drinking water we had brought to brush our teeth, wash dishes, etc.
3.4
nothing!
Let me start by saying these photos are not accurate. there are no couches in the area. We booked two separate rooms and one was filthy. Piles of sheets and dirty towels were stacked on a chair and a bag full of trash was on the floor then we were left with just one room with one full size bed for three ladies. We called customer service and they told us for two days. They would call us back and never did. Internet didn’t work. There was no hot water and no air-conditioning the doors were locked on the outside with a padlock and did not have door knobs!!! on the second day, we actually just abandon the property and went to a hotel

Good central location, with fridge and desk. Large lanai with table and chairs.
Fortunately, when I arrived I managed to find someone on site who showed me which was our apartment. Otherwise we would have been struggling. From then on, we were unable to find anyone to contact on site. The steps to the apartment were difficult and tricky, especially when opening the screen door at the top. The fridge was in bad condition. The main issue was that the bed had only one thin sheet on top, and when the weather turned cooler we were quite cold at night. I messaged the property management, who replied:
"Hello Ian, Thank you for contacting us and I have reached out to the property manager to get more information about your request and will get back to you as soon as I hear back. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to me if you have any other questions before then."
Not helpful, and no-one ever got back to me or produced any extra bedding. The second night we used the shower curtain as an extra cover, and then our tour guide lent us a bedspread for the third night.

Room was very affordable for the location.
Check in was not great. We made a special request and never heard back through booking until we’ll after, so we arrived to ask for some help and we’re told to go away and come back later. The person we spoke to was not polite.
3.4
Location was nice, people nice also
It wasn't what I would call gold.
Hot water was off for 7 days, and the shower also leaker for 7 days. I bought and left 19 hangers, there were only 2 there. Also I bought and left a can opener. Overall just a little slipshop, screens were ripped and when repaired still not exactly bug tight.
3.4
we like the location. the hammock, the enclosed porch. parking spot.
the little ants everywhere in the kitchen.
the whole in the floor of the bathroom.
only one blanket for colder nights.
needs better ways to communicate with owner/concierge. a request for more blankets was ignored.
3.4
The value
The stove didn’t work & thee was no covers for the beds.
3.4
Self contained unit meant we could prepare our own meals. Balcony with insect netting was great for lazy evenings enjoyment
The insect netting limits WiFi connectivity.
3.4
Location was fantastic!
Shower only drizzled and is for a very short person. Huge roach, but I know this is common in Belize. No AC like it said in the book and no book to sign in like most BB provides.
3.4
lots of space, clean and central location
the booking process was a more tedious than for most other stays on booking
3.4
We really liked the location of the cabana. You can walk anywhere from there. Supermarkets and fruit shops are just next door. Having our own kitchen was really nice, too. Having the keys in a lockbox was great for an easy check-in.
There is a lot of stuff that needs improvement. The shower never turned warm, so we had to take cold showers for the entire week. This and the low water pressure made it very difficult to wash long hair. The doors to one of the bedrooms didn't close properly. We messaged the property management about those 2 issues and they said someone will be in touch with us but no one ever was.
Staying there with a friend is a bit tricky because of how the door locks. I was not able to leave the cabana in the early morning without waking up my friend to ask her to close the door behind me. The other option would have been to lock her in. If she closed the door behind me then I was on the other hand depending on her to let me back in. That was not ideal at all.
Lastly, a lady is living next door with her family and she was really loud. She would talk on the phone a lot in a super loud voice, yelling and saying the "f-word" all the time. That was pretty stressful. I know the management of Carols Cabanas is not responsible for this, but I would like to let people know about it.
3.4
Plenty of room and decent location. It was very clean.
Could have had more towels. Women with long hair need a second towel for their hair. Also beach towels. I didn’t bring one thinking somewhere near the beach would have one. There needs to be something besides one sheet on the bed. A light bedspread or something. Someone banged on the outside barred door at 1030 one night. It was a bit frightening. The water pressure was barely there most of the time.
3.4
There was no one to help me and it was nerve racking not knowing where to check in after flying internationally
3.4
It feels like it’s in the middle of the village so getting around is easy
3.4
The room was spacious and had a well equipped kitchen and full size fridge. Easy check in. Miss Carol is a pleasure!!
If I didn't fracture my shoulder 1 days prior to my reservation !🥶

prompt attention and easy access really appreciated
bed sincerely uncomfortable - better with pillow at hip and shoulders
