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 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.

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.

Wonderful, spacious, huge pool, very comfortable!

The resort is beautiful with very spacious rooms, a huge & very clean pool, swim up bar, friendly staff, free paddle boarding and kayaking, beautiful landscaping, very clean beaches. We had a one bedroom condo with a spacious master with king bed and tv, large bath with jacuzzi tub, spacious closet, very updated kitchen, living area and huge balcony with a gorgeous pool and ocean view. It is well worth the money. I will definitely be back!

Staff was friendly, but the room was very outdated, damaged and poor quality. Also, we had issues with booking thru Expedia. We had booked one additional night, and then the hotel cancelled us without notice because they were “booked” on our last night. But the hotel kept showing availability in Expedia and on their website..

It’s a beautiful property and our stay was wonderful however our room had broken blinds, bad tv connection, no streaming services (we had a child with us) and the only option for our room type was facing a run down building and tennis court. The outside of the building needs some work and our balcony wasn’t very clean as there was hand marks and make up all over the door. Still enjoyed the stay and would consider returning.

The pictures did not reflect the condition of the rooms and the resort itself. It was run down, not clean, mold in the bathtub, broken and missing window screens. The air conditioning didnt work properly and overall the resort needed a ton deferred maintenance. We would never recommend this place.

Place was nice; staff was very friendly and accommodating. We were a little disappointed with the listing description. Booked a 3 bedroom villa, but all rooms were not open to each other. In fact, one bedroom could only be accessed from outside the villa, which I was not excited by since we were traveling with our two children. Also, it should be noted that while it is not the resort’s fault, Belize is experiencing a sargassum problem that made the beach pretty unusable and a bit smelly.

We loved our stay at The Placencia. Truthfully, I was feeling a bit concerned after we booked and then I read other people’s reviews but I’m so glad that we never cancelled. The grounds were beautiful, the pool was amazing as was the beach and all the meals that we had were lovely. The staff truly went above and beyond and were very welcoming. We didn’t have great success with the WiFi but we didn’t go on vacation to be connected to the internet. Yes, the resort is about 20 minutes from Placencia but we really enjoyed the quietness of this place and we knew going in that it wasn’t right in the village. Best I can figure is that anyone who commented negatively about this place hasn’t done much traveling as if they had they would know this place is amazing. Yes, there is some paint touch ups that could be done but regardless the resort is still wonderful. The staff truly went out of the way to ensure we had a nice stay. The room was very clean as was every area that we saw. We will definitely be 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.

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

Misrepresented Temu Hyatt

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.

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.
