I planned a romantic getaway for me and my wife to Belize. We went through a travel agent who suggested several places including the Placencia resort. We wanted to try to stay away from the over touristy Ambergris Caye so we decided to try this one. We booked a beach front villa for 9 nights. When we arrived, we were... More

I was here by myself in early April and thoroughly enjoyed my stay. Staff were super friendly and went above and beyond. The food as part of the all inclusive was average, but I always found something nice and healthy to eat. The food at the main restaurant was absolutely delicious, overpriced, yes .... I had the catch of the... More

My wife and I stayed at the Placentia Hotel and Residences for our 10th anniversary trip this year, from April 22-29. This was our first time staying at a 'smaller' resort, and I think it may have changed how we plan our vacations in the future. We thoroughly enjoyed our week in Belize, and hope to return again in the... More

The trip to the resort from Toronto was a bit long since we had to stop in Roatan to drop people off and pick people up (plane was cleaned as well) This took about an hour and a half. Once we got to Belize City Airport, we still had another short flight in a puddle jumper! TIP: If you bought... More

I am very torn on this review! This resort is beautiful and the best part of it is the staff that work there! If you want people who are friendly and try hard to give good service it is that at Placencia. We went on a 2 week all inclusive in April 2013 with Sunwing. First I must say this... More

I have always wanted to go to Belize,so when it came up as a last minute I jumped at the chance.I have been more disappointed in a hotel in all my years of travel. It is tainted as a great property with all the amenitys.I have never complained about food in any hotel but when you book an all inclusive... More

For the great things--the pool. As other reviewers have noted, it is very large with a shallow area for kids and a deeper part with a swim up bar. It's big enough to swim "laps" even though the form is not rectangular. The hotel offers free use of kayaks and bicycles, which is a nice benefit. The room was large--a... More

Stayed at the Placencia the week of April 1/13. Did not have the all inclusive but found the meals reasonably priced. Only ate at the buffet on the pier once for breakfast it was plentiful. We were in room 36 and had an oceanfront suite with fulll kitchen although there were no cooking pots supplied. We got a drive into... More

Just stayed at the Placencia April 1-8, 2013 with 3 couples / friends. Belize has lots to do, other travelers, owners and residents are friendly and love to share experiences and point you to the fun places to go. Everyone speaks English. We had to stop over in Roatan, Honduras, then fly to Belize city where we were flown on... More
