Once a sleepy fishing village, Placencia has emerged as an increasingly popular eco-destination on the Caribbean. For those who enjoy outdoor adventure, the Stann Creek region offers a host of activities: hiking through mountainous rain forests, kayaking, deep sea fishing, diving and exploring Mayan ruins. The peninsula boasts 16 miles of tranquil beaches, with a lagoon to the west and the Caribbean to the east and lots of peace and quiet in the middle. Tour guides and dive centers offer a variety of excursions, with boat rides to the outer cayes an ongoing favorite. Also popular are guided land tours to Mayan Ruins or trekking the jungle trails of Cockscomb Basin Wildlife Sanctuary, where the first Jaguar Reserve in the world was established.

We stayed for a few days and had a terrific time. The grounds are very nice and the new cabins were very comfortable. Whoever decided to include bunk beds was inspired and allowed us to avoid the inevitable squabbles among our children when they have to share a bed. The food was very good and had a varied selection. The pool was beautiful and the walk to the beach took about 30 seconds. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive. I would highly recommend this place.

Ocean Breeze is a brand new luxury beachfront resort located on the beautiful beaches of Placencia Village, Belize. This boutique style resort located in the heart of the Village is family owned/managed and situated right off the famous sidewalk. Just a few minutes walk from all the great spots in the village, so no need for your own transportation while staying with us!
Our group of 12 boated right up to Ocean Breeze and from the time we hit the sand to catching our ride back to the airport, we had the best time at this quiet and intimate hotel. It’s right on the beach in Placencia with picturesque views, hammocks, lounge chairs and more. The hotel bar, Toucan Jacks, has great lounge spots and the small dunk pool is complete with barside stools where Jalli mixes some excellent cocktails. We felt very taken care of and with 5 kids in our group, that’s no easy task. The staff was friendly, accommodating and helped coordinate in room covid tests for us before we left for the states. The rooms were immaculate with modern amenities, very comfortable beds ocean views. I particularly loved the attention to detail in decor. It’s located in the heart of Placencia near all the shops, vendors and dining. I hope we can return to Placencia soon and if we do, we’ll be booking here again.

We love our stay and highly recommend. Excellent beachfront property, wonderful staff, good breakfast included, and great location close to restaurants/bars, shopping, and the village. We had a welcome rum punch when we arrived. Our studio is spacious and enjoyed the ocean view. The kitchen has the necessary appliance and we’ll equipped. We had to leave on an early diving excursion so we couldn’t make the scheduled breakfast from 8:30 am - 9:30 am. They provided us with our breakfast which included cinnamon rolls, cheese with toast, and orange juice the night before. So thoughtful and sweet.

My spouse and I spent a wonderful week in Placencia at Placencia Villas. It is very conviently located within easy walking distance of everything in town yet it is nestled back off the main road and off the sidewalk so it is quiet and it keeps cool since it is surrounded by trees. We had a comfortable one bedroom, screened in porch, with a small kitchen which was large enough to enable us to cook meals. The A/C worked great as did the internet. Our host on site, ODallas was extremely warm, welcoming and helpful with whatever we needed. She even let me use her printer and set up tours and drivers for us. We had one glitch and ODallas made it right: the shower drains in our building got stopped up since in the dry season roots grow into the pipes. She immediately moved us over to a bigger unit for the remainder of our stay. When we come back to Placencia for our next visit, we know where to stay!

Location in the heart of the village, on the boardwalk, with views straight to the ocean, although no ocean views from the downstairs rooms. 5 minutes walk to 2 grocery stores, several great restaurants, and the ice cream parlor. Rooms are a good size, with comfy beds, ceiling fans and A/C, fridge and microwave. Staff are super nice and friendly and helpful. Plenty of hot water and storage in the room. Cons: no safe in the room, noisy outside A/C units, slightly precarious stairs to the rooftop, and no communal area for sitting other than the rooftop. Still, I would have given this 4.5 stars if that was possible. I would definitely stay here again. We were here in Jan 2020, but that wasn't an option to choose on the menu, so I chose Jan 2021.

Comfortable accommodations in Placencia Village. As featured on HGTV’s House Hunters International! We bought this traditional Belizean-style home in 2017 and have updated it with all the modern amenities you’d want to make your tropical vacation comfortable and convenient but we kept it’s rustic Caribbean charm. You’ll see beautiful hardwoods through out, custom furniture and cabinetry, local art work and crafts. 3 suites to choose from: queen bed studio with kitchenette, 1-bedroom king sized apartment with screened veranda and full kitchen, super spacious 2-bedroom apartment with full kitchen and living room.
We had a last minute change of travel plans and so booked here with about 90 minutes notice. Phil and Megan had the room ready for when we arrived and it was spotless. They have thought of every little detail and made everything as easy as can be. For value for money and quality Driftwood Gardens cannot be faulted. The bed was nice and comfortable and the area was quiet so a good night's sleep wasn't difficult at all. The fastest internet we had found so far on our travels too! Definitely a place to recommend.

Spent 2 days here nothing fancy. Overall was an ok place to stay. Close to the beach The beaches during the week are covered with sea grass Friday morning they started to clean the beach. The hotel has nothing to do with the beach If you plan to stay in Placencia come to stay over the weekend. The hotel is near the center of town near the boat dock near the Hokey Pokey water taxi. Placencia is a very laid back place to spend a couple of days
