After seeing the exceptional reviews here on Trip advisor, I without a doubt pressed on to spend 4 nights of our honeymoon here. I should have known to look elsewhere early on, I had to write the manager over and over again because she was not receiving my emails for some odd reason and not being responsive. So after all... more

I flew from CA to Placencia for a couple days to see my parents who were vacationing there, and I am so glad they were staying at Laru Beya. Even though I could only get away for a quick trip, within hours of arriving I felt like I had been there for days. There is something about the area and... more

We stayed in a partial ocean view room for 2 nights in April. Our room was small but very nice. It had nice crown molding, nice bathroom and shower (no tub), comfortable bed and balcony with 2 chairs and hammock facing the pool and ocean, coffee pot and coffee and small refrigerator. It was very windy when we were there... more

Great condo/hotel accommodations. Ideal location for daytrips to surrounding areas of interest (jungle and Mayan ruins)and for whaleshark excursions. Can be all organized through the front office Took snorkeling option to accompany divers 26 miles out past the reefs in a 28 ft open twin outboard boat. It took just over an hour to get there for about 8 people... more

My wife and I came from L.A. to see the Whale Sharks: so when they didn't show up on cue, we were glad we stayed at Laru Beya. The place is really, really nice. It's hard to break down what makes it so: no single factor. Location, facilities, and managers Peter and Petro all combined to give us a great... more

By far one of the best hotels/ resorts I have ever stayed at. The managers of the Laru Beya, as well as all the staff, go out of their way to make you feel at home. They all know you by name and you will find that you know them by name as well. Sitting down at breakfast the first... more

This is a wonderful place. Peter and Pietra made us feel like extended family come for a visit, not gaudy guests at some corporate hotel. Our pleasant and very comfortable rooms were less than twenty yards from the ocean, and we were able to savor, without TV or phone, a unique environment in which to bike, swim, sail, kayak, snorkel... more

my wife and i were part of a mission team and placencia was our place for some down time after working earlier in the week. this is a beautiful property---nice pool, great view, relaxing restaurant/bar (open air). we found the staff to be very helpful and extremely responsive. i asked for an extra couple of towels at the office and... more

We had the good fortune of staying at the Laru Beya following a weeklong medical mission trip to Belize. Our entire group had rave reviews for this relatively new and excellent property. I visited Plancencia last August to make arrangements for our group and found that most places required a 3 night minimum. I explained that these were medical professionals... more
