The best of both worlds! This property is stunning, and it really offered the best of both worlds. We were able to experience resort-style amenities and service, while enjoying the space of an AirBnB. Our suite was huge and gave us ample room to enjoy ourselves. It was nice to be able to cook some meals in the suite, although they could definitely stand to upgrade their kitchenware. The pool is huge, and we really enjoyed the swim-up bar. The restaurant sits right on the water, and we were really impressed with the food there. The service is top-notch from the bar to the housekeeping staff. *A note about the location: Placencia is a lot bigger than I realized. This property is in an area that is mostly just resorts and a handful of restaurants. A little further South is Maya Beach, which is quite nice. If you want to actually visit Placencia Village, it's a good 20-30 minute drive. So this is the perfect location for a relaxing, peaceful getaway. But if you want to be in the heart of Placencia, go further South.

Placenta Resort was advertised as a Hyatt hotel but this definitely was not it. We entered the resort and saw that a massive construction renovation project was being undertaken, which resulted in a lot of noise both during the day and at night. The wi fi was very poor and not secure which we had to keep asking staff to fix. They said that someone would fix it, but no one ever did. The rooms were clean and well kept, and staff was nice and helpful, but management was poorly run. The hotel was misrepresented as a Hyatt yet basic amenities such as the shower, WiFi, and “complimentary shuttle” and “laundry” cost an arm and a leg. The shuttle cost $150, and the hotel was $20 a load. We will not be coming back and hope we can get a partial refund.

5.0 / 10.0

Truly stellar pool with three areas of different depths. This allowed children to play more freely while parents enjoyed the pool. Only complaint was limited food options with highly variable quality. Note this area of Placencia has lots of sea grass and sargassum that washes up on the beaches daily. So depending on your level of comfort swimming in and around it, you may not be able to use the ocean. When it decays it smells heavily of sulfur.

The property is under construction so a lot of the food amenities are limited but the villas are beautifully newly renovated and the staff is very nice. Best to rent a car so that you can explore better food options off property during the day.

The property was dirty the bathroom had broken door, it was dirty and there was no hot water. We didnt even have water in the room to drink! When we ordered food the menu was so limited they didnt even have chicken wings. We had to end our stay early because of the inconvenience and how direty it was.

4.0 / 10.0

We received very good service, and the rooms and pool were excellent. The only drawback was that the main restaurant was being removed and eventually replaced, so the on-site dining was limited. However, we ended up renting a golf cart and found terrific dining.

Great pool, good staff, clean. Beautiful beach. Toilets hardly flush though with the low flow, similar to Tulum.

The physical resort was phenomenal. The two reasons I did not give it a five star were 1) that the water pressure in the showers were so low. I never felt clean and could not wash my hair properly, and 2) the hotel restaurant was more expensive than the local restaurants. The days we didn't prepare food in our kitchen, we had to leave the resort. If the prices had been comparable, we would have eaten at the resort more often. The food was delicious, just astronomically expensive. Everything else about the resort was amazing and the staff were so incredibly nice.

We truly enjoyed our week at the Placencia resort. The 3 bedroom suite was just right for our multi-generational family trip, the pool was fabulous fun, and the Pier restaurant is peaceful, beautiful, and serves delicious food. I was disappointed to discover that, for what-ever reason, many of the promised amenities that had us choose this resort were not available during our time there: For example, there is only 1 restaurant, there is little that's child friendly asidefrom the pool; the pool and the children's pool are the same thing, meaning our 5 yo had to swim around loud mouthed drunks in the afternoon, if there were laundry facilities we never found them, and the only water sport equipment was available. Its clear the resort is being updated, but the work motto seems to be "it looks okay if you don't get too close." Lovely, bright rooms and ancient lumpy futons to sit on; nicely tiled bathroom and grubby stained bathtub. Etc. I would recommend the Placencia, and I would go back there. I justthink people should be fore-warned that the marketing exceeds the reality.

3.0 / 10.0

When we checked in, we were asked to pay a 40 US resort fee that we were not aware of when I booked so that was a sudden surprise. The prices at the restaurant were quite high. The beds were not the greatest. They were on wheels so they moved a lot.. but the pool was amazing. The water was warm. The staff was friendly and kind not usually the kind of place I stay, but I would go back for the pool.

6.0 / 10.0

The property is beautiful and the staff was very accommodating but it did not engulf the Belizean culture as I expected it would. The menu did not incorporate the traditional culture or have more than one Belizean option. Most of it was American food. There should be more of the culture and more things to do on the resort outside of the pool/dining. I wish there was more activities at the resort instead of trying to entertain myself most of the time. It was relaxing but I’d like to have fun on vacation too and creating that fun in an unknown area is difficult. I wish there were more food options for me to get to know the areas best things about it. More activities like a food tour provided by the resort like yoga just a celebration of the culture and that was not it.

Gorgeous resort, beautiful location right on beach, helpful staff, amazing and large pool, restaurant on the pier was top notch for atmosphere and food. Ate 6 meals there.

2.0 / 10.0

For getting this hotel at a “VIP access” was nothing but a lie! The hotel was expensive, the room smelled musty, there was food marks left on the counters, the bathroom floor had bits of toilet paper left, the toilet seat was left open, the extra mirror light didn’t work, there was a broken towel rack pieces left over, one of the head lights were dangling out, our bed headboard was broken, the lamp was broken, and most importantly there reusable water tanks were always empty. When I told this to the front desk, they didn’t do anything. So I was just simply very disappointed for the cost for this resort and wish I would’ve gave my money to the local hotels.

I have been coming here for several years and it is a great property that is very poorly managed at the top levels. Things have broken and not replaced. The rooms are tired and needing upgrades. I know they are slowly working on making thing better, but talk is cheap. The restaurant on the pier is new, but way over priced for Belize. The people who work at the resort are fabulous. Friendly and eager to help with anything. It is the management that is bad. From the owner down. I would not recommend staying here until all renovations are done. Only then will I come back.

The grounds of the property were very beautiful and well kept. The iguanas were an added bonus as they were always hanging out in the tree to watch. It is right on the water and the beach was really nice. Beautiful sand and well groomed. However, there were tons of bugs and the bites made it almost impossible to lay in the beach chair. The rooms were older and there was a lot of mold in shower and bathroom area. The kitchen was missing some key items for cooking like a skillet and mixing bowl. The stove did not work and we called to get it fixed but no one came for the 6 days we were there. House keeping was not very good either. Some days very minimal cleaning was done, like emptying the trash but not replacing the trash bags. Two of the days house keeping was really good. We were there over Christmas so maybe they had a lot of staff off for the holiday. The restaurants were a big disappointment. There are not three of them. The is a pool bar where you can get drinks, a main restaurant which was often closed for dinner and when they were open they had few options because “that is not available today” and the third restaurant was alway open but had limited options because they were often out of stuff and they were more expensive than any other restaurant we went to. We ended up leaving the resort most days for dinner. There are some good restaurants not too far but you will need a car. Overall we were happy with the beach but the restaurants were a challenge.

I enjoyed my stay at the placencia... there was some confusion on my part since the hotel changed management. My partner problem is the issue with the hot water. We expected it to come on after a while however it did not. I like that there is a security guard and when we come in late from tours but they double checked that we live at the resort. I love the pier and the staff were friendly answering all our questions. Thank you for a great stay.

We had a very nice stay here. Their grounds were well kept and the staff were lovely. The room was also very nice and spacious, and we even got an ocean front view. I will say that the rooms need some maintenance. The towel racks and toilet paper holders were falling off the walls and the bathroom sink had a persistent drip. The tv’s in the room are also a joke, maybe 26” tvs at most, minor complaints but something they should consider looking into. We paid half price and had I paid the usual nightly rate, I would’ve been disappointed. Their food and excursions are also very overpriced. They were charging 38 times the entry fee per person for a day excursion to the closest Mayan ruins, NIM LI PUNIT. We drove there in 50 mins ourselves and paid the basic entry fee to see them, no tour guide but all the interpretative signs were in English so we didn’t miss out on much and save A LOT of money by not doing their excursion. In a nut shell, the grounds, pool and staff were all first rate, room was good but not great, but their excursions are extortion.

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
