The Flying Toucan ★★★

"Spent about four nights here while visiting Placencia. Easy communication, booking and check in. The Flying Toucan cabanas are located near the beach but not necessarily on it. They are located near the boardwalk which leads to more busy area of Placencia with all restaurants, bars and beach club. The cabana has pretty much everything you need, living room with couch and tv, bedroom, kitchen and bathroom. No working desk unfortunately so had to work from the couch. No chairs to comfortably sit on the deck, so we just used kitchen chairs. Our stay was nice and easy, although we did have issue with the stove not working for the first day and also the A/C was not on when we arrived from the airport. I would expect them running the A/C to cool off the apartment as it was very hot and stuffy. The AC is located in the bedrooms which makes for great sleep, but its hard to keep cool air in the living room, kitchen and bathroom. We finally were able to cool the apartment down on our third day, but upon returning from our all day Ranguana Caye trip, we found that the cleaning crew turned the AC significantly down and whole place was hot again. Not the best thing you want to experience when returning back from sunny and hot beach. Besides that, our stay was nice and fun, and luckily for us we continued our Placencia vacation at Turtle Inn, which is probably the best place to stay in the area :)"

Easy Living Apartments ★★★

Serenade Hotel ★★★

"I have stayed at Serenade Hotel in the past and have always appreciated the warmth and hospitality of the permanent staff. The hotel is currently undergoing renovations, which I understand are necessary for improvement. However, my most recent experience during this transition was mixed. Manager Lulu continues to demonstrate professionalism and genuine care for guests. Sobo in maintenance and Sila in housekeeping are also consistently kind, considerate, and accommodating within their abilities. The core team clearly values the guest experience and works hard to maintain a welcoming environment despite the disruptions that renovations naturally bring. Unfortunately, my interaction with the renovation crew was disappointing. I was feeling unwell and simply asked how long they anticipated working directly outside my room so I could plan a short nap for recovery. I did not expect work to stop — only that the loud chatter and laughter be kept to a minimum since I was literally resting on the other side of the wall. The response I received felt dismissive and unnecessarily rude. I later overheard Manager Lulu respectfully addressing the matter, and it was disheartening to hear her concerns dismissed as well. Because of the way the situation was handled and the lack of respect shown to the manager on duty, I chose to elevate the concern to one of the property owners. The owner came and spoke to the renovation team calmly and professionally, explaining that the work itself was completely acceptable, but that it was inconsiderate to be directly outside a guest room talking and laughing loudly. At no point did the owner raise his voice, use profanity, or behave disrespectfully toward the temporary team. Renovations are understandable, but professionalism and courtesy toward both guests and hotel staff should remain consistent at all times. It was disappointing to witness members of the core team — who clearly care about their roles and the guest experience — being treated with disregard by a temporary repair crew. I sincerely hope that once renovations are complete, the respectful and peaceful atmosphere upheld by the permanent staff will be fully restored, as they truly deserve recognition for their dedication and care."

Brisa Oceano Resort ★★★★

Placencia Villas ★★★

"We spent a lovely 5 nights in the Angelfish apartment, which was well appointed and super comfy. The kitchenette was convenient (we had a few lunches and breakfasts there), the screened in porch a lovely spot to sit and hear the bird call, and the bedroom nice and cool thanks to the A/C unit and curtains. Lacey and Ron were gracious and helpful hosts, answering our many questions and making local recs. Great access to swimming, Momo’s (street food), and Greg’s fruit stand - where YES you want to buy the yogurt. Only downside was not staying longer!"
