This was our first time to Belize, we chose to stay in Placencia because it allowed us to have access to. Lots of different places around the country.
Arthur’s cabin was absolutely PERFECT!! It had all the essentials we needed, super clean, and did I mention literally right in front of the beach! There is no AC, but you truly do not need it. Along with the incredible ocean breeze there are 2 fans, I was actually cold! The front porch is a dream. The cabin is stoked with the basics from coffee to beach towels. And that front porch…. It was probably our favorite part of the cabin. We drank coffee there every morning and sat under the stars at night. It’s the perfect place to sit, chill, and enjoy the sound of those ocean waves.
The location of the cabin was great. It’s pretty central in Placencia, and there are the coolest walkways that connect the village. We were never further than a 5 minute walk to ANYWHERE in the village. Ming’s grocery store is at the end of the walkway of Arthur’s cabin, and they have pretty much everything you could possibly need ( including lots of cold Belikin the official beer of Belize. It’s a must drink while you are there). There are also several restaurants all around the cabin and like I said all incredibly close. Our faves were Wendy’s, Omar’s, and The Shack.
Placencia is super safe and has the friendliest people! Definitely take a snorkel trip, we did Silk Cayes, and it was incredible! Being in Placencia is also a good launch pad if you are interested in Mayan Ruins ( we did Xunantunich and we would highly recommend it) or to the plethora of waterfalls and jungles.
We would 100% stay at Arthur’s cabin. Both he and Aura are extremely hospitable and kind. They took great care of us. Arthur thank you so so much for everything! Until next time!
