As I told the property owner, “5 Star Review” From the gorgeous house, to the amazing staff, we would come back again! Big Mac is wonderful as are all the ladies and gents working at the property. We could not have asked for anything more

We just finished an amazing 6 night vacation. We would DEFINITELY stay here again. First off, the property is really nice. There are 8 bedrooms that are all equally great (no fighting over who gets the nice room). The lower pool and bar are a great place for morning and late/afternoon drinking around the pool. The upper hot tub and deck is great for watching the sunset and to relax in the early evening as the height and breeze keeps the bugs away. Finally, I loved that the resort has 2 pickle ball courts for playing around. Second, the people are fantastic! Big Mac is an amazing host - very friendly and accommodating. He oversees breakfast, lunch and drinks. The rest of the staff were like efficient fairies - they kept everything neat and clean. Third, we were THRILLED with our choice for an optional chef. Big Mac gave us a potential menu of mostly American dishes, but Orville was able to offer up a series of Belizean dishes that were delicious and unlike any food we had eaten before - Salbutes, Chimole, Escabeche and others. This was definitely a highlight of our week. You should definitely stay here too.

We had a group of 13 travel from Fort Lauderdale- we had some delays on flights and had to change our arrival time multiple times- Valerie and Big Mac were fabulous and assisted us in everything we needed to get to the house. They coordinated getting a cake made for my husbands birthday, scheduled and drove us to all of our excursions, and just overall made everything seamless for our travel. The house was gorgeous and we loved that all of the rooms had king size beds so nobody felt like they were getting a smaller space. The pool was beautiful, as was the beach. All of the excursions we took were private and the guides were knowledgeable and made sure we enjoyed our time. The area was beautiful and we were able to drive the golf cart into town to grab any snacks or items we wanted to purchase. Hands down the best place we have ever stayed! Thank you so much!

My friends/sisters and I had an amazing time. This was our first time in Belize for many of us and first time traveling together since before the pandemic. Mac and the staff were very accommodating! Our group has only done all inclusive resorts in the past but wanted to do something different this time while making sure that we got all that we needed. This was more than we could have dreamed of. Being the planner that I am, I had so many questions leading up to the trip. Valerie, the owner, was so helpful and quick to answer. If I thought of something, she would work to make it happen. There was so much done in preparation for our visit and while we were there, we received nothing but smiles and catering to all our needs and wants. There were 11 women from all over the U.S. Mac and his family took excellent care of us as a group and individually. We will definitely be looking to return to this beautiful place in the future! We highly recommend it to others.

Our family group of 17 included 10 adults and 7 grandkids ages 4 months to 14 years old. This amazing home/ compound held us with ease, and having the beach and the pool right outside could not have been better. Big Mac, the concierge / driver/ cook took total care of us, arranging all our side trips , meals, and special needs. His wife and sister in law were constantly cleaning the house, and providing delicious breakfasts and lunches for our large group. We hired a chef to cook 4 of our nightly meals, which were great as well. We did a 1/2 day snorkel to Moho Caye which worked out for all ages in our group. Big Mac also set up a scuba dive for 6 of our group, and they saw and Eagle Ray with a 12' wingspan. Lots of other fish including nurse sharks, eel, blowfish etc. The non-scuba people went on a 1/2 day River Tubing run, and then swimming in a pool under a beautiful waterfall We were sad to leave yesterday, but after many years of family trips, this was everyone's favorite spot so far. I highly recommend this property.

I can’t begin to say what a wonderful experience this was!!! The property was just as beautiful and luxurious as the pictures. We had 14 family members ranging from ages 1-68. The accommodation’s were so comfortable and fit everyone’s needs. The staff was wonderful and went above and beyond to make our stay wonderful! The ladies that kept the house beautiful, held our babies, braided hair and made us gifts. They helped us get to a doctor when the baby was sick. We could go on and on and never say enough. We loved them!! Big Mac was a constant, always to help us with every situation!! He cooked, planned fun, played games with us, bought groceries and even brought his son over to play with my grandchildren. They also have a chef you can hire, and I would highly recommend him. He was so sweet and his meals were exceptional!! He was always there and happy!! Before we went I had a million questions for the hostess and she never failed to give me the information I needed to make good decisions. She then hooked me up with Big Mac the week we left so I could get everything lined up! We thoroughly enjoyed everything and would highly recommend and even plan to go back. Thanks to the whole staff. The only thing I would recommend is to book excursions before hand so you don’t spend all your cash on that. You can use credit card on groceries and restaurants so I tried to do that to save cash for tips souvenirs, etc! LOVED IT!!

Great accommodations for a group of 15 ages 18 - 78. Mac and his staff were awesome. Great communication with Valerie leading up to the trip. They all made our trip easy and enjoyable. We would definitely return!

We can’t express enough the gratitude we feel for the team at this amazing and beautiful villa. Big Mac, Juliana, Albert, Marva and our lovely chef Orville took such good care of us. Valerie is so easy to communicate with and made our travels easy. This was a vacation we will never forget and not sure how we will ever go back to how we’ve traveled in the past. We were spoiled beyond any of our expectations!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. Can’t wait to come back ☺️

I recently stayed at the Blue Diamond Tranquility Resort, and we had an absolutely amazing experience- I cannot recommend this property enough! Big Mac and everyone were so welcoming and made sure our stay was comfortable and relaxing. The location on the beach and the views of the water were breathtaking. The home was clean and beautifully decorated. The property had all the amenities we could ask for and restaurants and a market nearby. It was so convenient having private transportation available on-site making it a great option to explore the surrounding area. The Blue Diamond Tranquility Resort exceeded all our expectations! I would highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a luxurious and unforgettable vacation.

We had a group of 14 and had so much space, never felt crowded. The pools/hot tubs are amazing, the beach was kept clean. Could not ask for nicer staff taking care of us all week.

Great experience, amenities & staff! Would highly recommend & book again!

This property was beyond our expectations by far! The property was very new, exceptionally clean and Big Mac and his staff were there whenever we needed them for help and support. We took advantage of many of the excursions that they offered personally, and loved the beautiful pool, outdoor kitchen, bar, and beach amenities. The house itself was absolutely beautiful. Valerie kept us appraised and updated through the whole process of booking and preparing for our trip, and Big Mac was always there to help us while we were there. We would definitely stay there again! It accommodated all 18 of us easily with privacy of all of the eight bedrooms and adjoining bathrooms. It was a great memory maker for my birthday, my husband’s Birthday, our three kids and all of the grandkids! Thank you, Valerie and Big Mac and staff. Hope to see you again.

From start to finish we had a marvelous Christmas break at the Blue Diamond. The party bus was waiting for us at the airport. We were 12 family members age 1-87! Everyone had plenty of space- the en suite bathrooms are amazing and super comfy King beds, plus everything was cleaned each day (thank you Marva and Felice). We didn’t do any cooking because Macario and Orville took care of us breakfast, lunch and dinner if we were at the house. Lobsters and shrimp ceviche were highlights . Tons to do on the beach- volleyball or pool volleyball, cornhole, we brought our own Spikeball, paddle boards and kayaks and hammocks for lounging, the chaise loungers in the pool are awesome for a hot day. We rented the van but didn’t know it was a stick shift and we weren’t able to drive it so Albert took us around as needed- so accommodating. We only used the golf cart once- it is a bit far to get to the Village but there are some nearby delicious restaurants, bowling and mini golf/pickleball for cloudy days. Mac organized a snorkel trip that picked us up right at the neighbor’s dock- so convenient. He also took us to the MayanWorld where we river tubed and swam in the waterfall (lots of other activities to do there and it’s only 25 mins away). We were there on probably their coldest days- still super nice for us, but the hot tubs would get turned up when we asked- there are two- the rooftop takes longer to warm up. Advice for the next guests- bring lots of cash- every trip, and all food purchased in advance, plus tips at the end require cash (everyone takes US $). The ATM at the Publics limits amount to $1000 Belizean per day and charges a fee, plus you don’t want to spend your vacation going to the bank each day. Also buy alcohol at the duty free when you arrive- cheaper and better selection. Definitely recommend this house - it’s gorgeous and the staff are super friendly and so generous.

Our family of 16 greatly enjoyed our stay at the Blue Diamond Tranquility Resort. The home is very child friendly, and it’s evident that much thought went into its design and construction. Thanks to multiple AC units, nonporous surfaces, and excellent housekeeping, there were none of the damp or musty odors found in most beach homes. The two levels of the home are equipped to function independently, and sound from upstairs cannot be heard downstairs. The beautiful pool and private beach area were kept in pristine condition by Albert. We appreciated having kayaks and paddle boards available as well as plenty of lounge chairs, umbrellas, and beach towels. The entire staff was very friendly and truly dedicated to making our stay relaxing. Our days began early, and Mac adjusted his schedule to have breakfasts ready for us. It was such a treat to have all of the meals prepared for us onsite! The chef came five nights and did a good job. Marva even made delicious tortillas for us twice. Mac took care of the grocery shopping. It was really more like staying at a bed and breakfast or all-inclusive resort than renting a house. Mac is very personable and seems to enjoy his job. He arranged excursions for us and provided transportation. The catamaran trip to Moho Caye with Nautical Adventures was very enjoyable. Also, the Maya King waterfalls, zip line, and tubing. Mac also lined up a photographer for family pictures. I’m especially grateful for the love and care the staff extended to our seven young grandchildren! Mac joked around with them and prepared multiple milkshakes and mocktails. Albert assisted in their search for sea creatures and lizards. Julianna, Marva, and Felice loved on the baby and even braided our granddaughter’s hair. Very heartwarming! The only thing we would have done differently was to rent our own vehicle. The van on-site (and party bus) do not have seatbelts, a big concern transporting young children.

My family of 15 ranging in age from 3 to 75 years old spent the week at Blue Diamond Tranquility resort and our expectations were exceeded beyond imagination. The home itself is modern and spacious. All of the adults felt the layout, furniture and decorations were so thoughtfully designed. The pictures do not do this place justice! The pool is amazing. Huge, connected hot tub and wading area with pool chairs. Our whole family enjoyed relaxing as well as playing volleyball in the pool. RIGHT ON THE BEACH the property is absolutely ideal for groups looking for the perfect combo of pool and sandy beach options. Well cared for and we loved the SUP and kayaks. The pool bar/kitchen was everyone's favorite spot. We ate breakfast there every day from the man of the house MAC who is an absolute gem! We ultimately decided to hire the chef for all 7 nights and it was absolutely worth every cent. Our meals exceeded our expectations and we couldn't wait to see what he came up with the next night. The location is two plane rides and a 3hr drive for us from Chicago, but it was well worth the travel for the amazing week of memories we made. I would highly recommend this property for any group looking to go to Belize.

We stayed in this Villa for 10 nights with my siblings, father, and our children to celebrate my father's 70th Birthday. Communication through the whole process with both the property owner and the in house team at the property (Big Mac or Macario and his team) was excellent. We were communicating with both to plan for the trip weeks ahead of time and especially the few days immediately prior. The house was easy to find by just typing Blue Diamond Tranquility Resort into Google maps. The location is amazing, right on the beach. It is about 30 minutes into town at the end of the peninsula, but there is a store, ATM, and plenty of restaurants closer by. The drive time is mostly due to the massive speed bumps but it goes pretty quick. The house was kept immaculately clean by the staff the entire stay. We were traveling with 7 adults and 5 children between the ages of 3 and 7 years old, so keeping it up was no easy task. What really made this trip special was Macario and his team of family and trusted workers. Macario was a fantastic host. He can arrange anything that you can think of, prepares fantastic meals for breakfast, lunch, and dinner by request. Prepared a nice variety of food each day. He arranged several tours, boat charters, and restaurant accomodations as well as carry out. He even hosted at tour to a local waterfall and ruina. His team was gracious and very friendly, hard working, and respectful of space. The main reason we are already considering booking another stay was because of the staff. We rented cars, but there is a large van available for use on a per day charge, as well as a luxury bus. The pools were clean, the bar was large and convenient. This a great place for families with children. We are also considering coming back and staying with friends leaving the children behind as it would be great for that as well. Overall can't recommend enough!! Thank you so much to Macario and team, as well as Valerie and her husband.

We rented this house with 13 friends to celebrate my wife's 50th birthday and had a blast! The VRBO pictures don't do it justice. It's beautiful, well organized, and super clean. The layout is perfect for couples with bedrooms on separate corners of the house for privacy, etc. I can't say enough about this place. You won't be disappointed booking it. Big Mac, the butler, is a great guy and a great cook! We made some great memories here and would love to revisit in the future!

We had a lovely time at the property. Valerie is responsive and answered all our numerous questions as we made these reservations in January as the property was just being listed on VRBO. The caretakers Macario and his family is ho all work in varying capacities are very nice and met our needs. While the property is a 30 minute drive from Placencia village it was that much closer to some of the excisions such as the Mayan waterfalls. Overall we had a lovely 2 week stay with the family 6 adults and 5 kids (age ranging from 7-11).

OMG where do I begin! This place was AMAZING!! I booked it last minute for my 40th birthday when it was a brand new listing with no reviews after reviewing it and messaging with Valerie. I am SO glad I did! I mean as soon as you arrive the whole experience exudes luxury. It is so much more grand and beautiful in person. The butler/house manager Big Mac and his staff made everything even better, with their amazing attention to detail. He was always available for us, and anticipated our needs (including cocktails). They provided very nice surprises for my birthday, and helped to arrange any outings as well as a photographer. Valerie was attentive and communicative in the time leading up to the stay and I am so grateful for that. This is truly a resort, that you will not want to leave once you arrive. My only regret is not booking more days! I hardly ever visit a place more than once, but this was such an amazing experience that we are already planning to come back! I will do it way in advance this time as I can see that it's popular. Try the private island hopping for a super luxe experience. Thank you Blue Diamond!!

Blue Tranquility is everything you could imagine and then some - seriously. I can NOT say enough good things about this property, the owner Valerie, and last (but certainly not least), our concierge/butler/bartender/cook extraordinaire "Big Mac". The combination of that beautiful trifecta truly made my birthday trip an amazing one this year. I appreciated Valerie's patience and consistent responsiveness as I began planning this group trip in February. I started with a group of 16 but as life happens, plans change, and we landed with a group of 12 to celebrate my milestone birthday. Before I even booked the villa, Valerie and I exchanged several detailed messages to make sure I had everything I needed to make an informed and comfortable decision. Talk about kind and gracious service! From there, I worked hand in hand with Big Mac to iron out all the "on the ground" logistics in planning meals, specialty cocktails, excursions, local transportation, and even a day full of surprises and celebratory activities on my actual birthday. He surprised me with a fun birthday dinner party - with decorations in my fave color to boot! Amazing food by the chef I hired, a yummy birthday cake from a local bakery, and we even had a photographer to capture the special moments that night. Big Mac pulled out all the stops and did everything with a smile and loving spirit for our entire party. His wife is a lovely gem who kept the villa immaculate during our stay and accommodated all of our housekeeping needs and requests all week. We even had an unfortunate incident where my sister had an accident while bike riding the morning of my birthday. Big Mac and his father came to the rescue with a moment's notice, he provided medical attention for my sister, and he even took her to a local clinic the next day to ensure she was all taken care of. He did all this, and never skipped a beat with all the goings on at the villa with my group - WOW! There are so many other wonderful aspects of staying at this villa - I honestly can't say enough. I've already sent booking information to MULTIPLE people after they saw my footage on social media and inquired as a result. I hope to return again soon. This. Is. LUXURY. From the breathtaking views, the pool, the hot tubs, the modern accommodations, etc I will say, hands down, that this is THE best private villa I've ever had the pleasure of booking. I travel pretty extensively so that's saying a lot. Please do not hesitate to book.

This trip was absolutely amazing. Vallerie as an host made sure I understood everything about my trip and was quick to respond to every question that was needed. “Big Mac” Macario the butler was hands down amazing. He was literally there for us. Drinks amazing, setting up excursions letting us experience Belize and relaxing at the same time. Things I recommend zip-lining tubing was dope. We loved Island hopping and snorkeling. We got amazing massages. The house is beautiful. You don’t need resort because it’s a whole resort everything you need is there. I can say hands down best vacation!!! As a person of color didn’t feel discriminated and was treated very well. I would love to book again maybe for my wedding 🥰🥰🥰. Thank you for this 5star experience nothing but class and great taste. One more thing, We celebrated my bday and they made it so special for me

This house is absolutely amazing! Seriously, it far exceeded our expectations. I cannot say enough about the locations, indoor and outdoor accommodations and service. I 100% recommend staying here if you visit Placencia.

Just returned from a week at this amazing house. We went as two families -- 4 adults, 7 teenagers, and two younger kids. The house was perfect for us -- clean, right on the beach, beautiful pool, in an amazing location. And best of all -- it comes with Macario -- the property manager that took care of us every second we were there. He cooked for us, played with the kids, arranged all of our tours, took us on several tours himself, arranged for Covid tests, made us daiquiris, and took great care of us. The pictures of this house do NOT do it justice -- it is beautiful with every detail thought through -- including a giant hot tub on the roof -- complete with bar and even an open-air bathroom up there! We ate every meal at the outside kitchen/bar. We did the Monkey River tour, tubed through caves, swam with turtles, sharks, and rays, gathered conch shells, ziplined, saw Mayan ruins, did a chocolate farm tour, played volleyball in the pool, relaxed on the beach, and swam in jungle waterfalls. Everone on the trip LOVED it. Thanks to Macario for taking such good care of us.!

This property is amazing. The home is stunning and beautiful, with an incredible pool right on the ocean and fantastic outdoor bar. Macario the "butler" just made it! He was so amazing and took care of everything. He was so kind, friendly and helpful it would not have been the same without him! After a horrible flight and stuck on a plane for ten hours and then a three hour drive, Mac made sure we had dinner when we got there after our long day. He always knew where everything was, kept us in check and was always helpful. His wife Marva and sister were amazing with the house keeping, everything was always clean. Already booked the next stay here!
