Very nice place that lived up to our expectations in most regards. Owners and staff are friendly and helpful, and the place is clean and tidy. Great place to stay for anyone looking for a relaxing time. Tanya is an excellent cook.
Interested guests should be aware that the hotel is 20mins by car from Placencia town centre. Bayshore Bijou Suites has bikes for guests to use and cycling into Placencia takes an hour (they also have kayaks to go out on the water). The area around the hotel was calm and silent, no noise, nothing that disturbed us.
We drove to Placencia all the way from Guatemala City, and Tanya of the Bayshore Bijou Suites was very helpful and supportive along the way. If there are other people out there who are interested in making the same trip (driving from Guatemala City to Río Dulce, Flores, and then into Belize and San Ignacio), please don't hesitate to ask us for advice.
