We loved our stay!We loved our stay here. Perfect location and plenty of room for 3 people. Any questions or concerns we had were addressed quickly. Didnt need AC as it was perfectly ventilated. Would definitely stay here again!

Incredible, simple, and not too noisy! A calm, lovely plain interior, near all things, and incredible staff.

location was very good, very busy area, staff was good.

Carols cabanas gets the job done for a group stay in Belize. A few pros and cons below to help you decide if this property is for you.Pros-Right in the heart of Placencia. Walking distance to everything (beaches, bars, restaurants, tour agencies, pickup locations for scuba companies)-Live like a local. These cabanas are nestled into a property right alongside local homes helping you feel like a local.-Cook stoves all worked nicely for preparing daily meals.-Management arranged taxi rides to and from the airport for us (about a 10 minute drive, $15USD) which made getting here convenient.-Our local management contact was always available via WhatsApp and that was helpful for arranging taxis and for when our codes didnt open the key lockboxes.Cons-No hot water. We contacted management about this a few times but it never got resolved. So cold showers for our week in Belize. The weather there makes cold showers somewhat bearable but its not ideal after a cold day of scuba diving.-Beds are not super comfortable (very old mattresses) and only come with a top sheet (no blankets) so we had to throw in an extra layer in the evenings to sleep comfortably.-Noisy. You stay right on the main street so wed get woken up multiple times each night (and Im a heavy sleeper). We had a late arrival to our group bring down earplugs and everyone slept much better.-A few bugs. Not a huge problem but the cabanas arent well sealed. We did have a lot of ants and cockroach in one cabana. Maybe just par for the course in Belize.SummaryWe were happy with our stay in Carols Cabanas. Id expect at least hot water and a blanket or two for a better rating. If youre up for a little bit rougher living and want to be in the heart of Placencia, Carols Cabanas would be a good fit. If youre looking for something a little more refined, this might not be your jam. Were an outdoorsy family so this felt like glamorous camping and we had a good time, though we would have enjoyed hot showers for sure. A decent stay!
