My friend & I capped off our trip to Belize & Guatemala with a stay at Turtle Inn. We spent the first part of our trip at its sister hotels, Blancaneaux Lodge & La Lancha. After a few days of excursions, a relaxing stay at Turtle Inn was the perfect way to end our Central America tour. Placencia is a... More

Just got home for an amazing hotel stay at Turtle Inn. We stayed in the family pavilion. We had a 2 bedroom villa, living room, outdoor shower and private pool. Each morning breakfast arrived while we overlooked the sea. We rode our complimentary bikes into the village for happy hour. The layout of the hotel was perfect. We had privacy... More

(We actually traveled end of Apr 2012-May 2012) but those dates weren't listed) My husband and I honeymooned in Turtle Inn and its sister property Blancaneaux Lodge. The property is stunning and we loved the attention shown in each space. I loved all of the gorgeous wood and repurposed art and artifacts present in our cabana. The screened-in porch was... More

My husband and I stayed here for a week. It was fantastic! It's pricey but well worth it. We enjoyed everything about it. Beautiful spot right on the water. Individual thatched-roof huts with private outdoor showers. There is no air-conditioning but we actually liked that. There are fans in every room to keep you cool. The food was great. Diving... More

We had a lovely lunch here on the beach. I do believe it is a bit overpriced, but the environment is quite unique, and thus we always love to have lunch during our visits to Placencia. We have stayed here in a Sea Front Villa in the past, and it was lovely. Only problem is the lack of air conditioning... More

Ate at the restaurant at Turtle Inn, a group of 6, had heard mixed reviews so went to check it out ourselves. Food and service was very average, disappointed in the food, nothing fantastic and very expensive. The dining room itself is beautiful. Staff appeared very staged and stiff, not a relaxing ambiance.

We did not stay at the resort but we ate here two nights in a row. We were a party of 7 with 4 adults and 3 kids aged 5, 8 and 12. We were riding out bikes into town and stopped to take a look at the menu. The property is very beautiful and I would call it relaxed... More

My new husband and I went here for our honeymoon- the resort is beautiful, on a quiet beach and it is perfect for spending some quality time with your companion. Each room is a beach cabana, with a screened in porch, bedrooms with lots of windows, and both an indoor and outdoor shower. The bathroom products supplied are very nice.... More

Very charming place, best on our entire trip. Hotel was booked full but felt like almost no one was there - beach was still sparse, could sit down at any of the restaurants at any time. Service was friendly and food was good (excellent in comparison to almost any Belize benchmark). Had to put up with a couple hiccups -... More

We stayed in the Chinese matrimonial (fertility? they may have renamed it, but it was beautiful) which was beachfront and quite private. The outdoor shower was wonderful, and probably my favorite thing about the actual room. It was beautiful to be outdoors among nature, and it was very secluded. The actual room itself was awesome as well, and it was... More
