We would highly recommend Casa Placencia! All of the staff were super friendly, helpful, and attentive to our needs. Casa Placencia is not right in the middle of town, but we enjoyed being able to walk across the street to the beach (it wasn't technically a private beach, but it felt like it since nobody else was ever there except for us!). The bikes also made it super easy to get into town whenever we wanted. We also found that walking along the beach at night made for a quicker (and much more scenic) trip into town. We had a great time staying with Ms. Jacki, and would highly encourage others to stay there as well!
