Location was next level, staff was very sweet, thoughtful and accommodating for a very special birthday celebration. One of the best restaurants in Placencia is on property, steps away from the cabins. Beach was literally 30 feet from our room. We had the most amazing time.

Beautiful, quiet setting. The drive into town is deceiving when you look at the miles. It takes 25 mins. The staff was lovely, the food was good, the grounds were amazing. We road the bikes, used the kayak and paddle boards. We especially loved the dock for viewing sea creatures.

Beachfront retreat with pool, private hot tub, AC, & lagoon view
I loved the quirky architecture and the salt water infinity pool was not only nice to cool off in but had an amazing view. Since the property is set back and surrounded by trees and shrubs it was extremely secluded. I had a great, relaxing week!
