The condo was exactly as described and very, very nice. If there is a nicer place to stay on Placencia, we never saw it. I truly believe this is the nicest. Placencia itself is not what we expected at all. If you’re looking for a typical beach/resort experience like you would find in Mexico, Cayman Islands, or Jamaica this isn’t it. There are no large resorts here, and you are mixed in with the locals (who are extremely kind!) Don’t expect to spend time on the beach. There is quite a bit of trash and very limited beach. There are some hidden gems you must visit though! Mariposa was a favorite spot of ours to spend the day and eat/drink. Le Dolce Vite has amazing Italian food! The frozen banana drink there is so fresh! The four cheese dish was delicious! The Monkey River tour is definitely something to experience, the wildlife is abundant. The little village will feed you and you can find neat trinkets they made themselves. They rely entirely on fishing and tourism, so bring some money with you!
