As other reviews have eluded to - Tri Tan Cabanas is a no frill stay in Placencia - Beach Front - Sunrise on the Deck is amazing. It is convenient to 'The World's Narrowest Main Street' and the compound is secure. There are however some things to consider. There is no AC. While the breeze from the seashore would be sufficient in the cooler season - if you are not accustomed to humidity this could be an issue. I feel It necessary to mention that this property is listed for sale. As such - it would seem that there is little incentive to modernize or improve it. The Ocean is a harsh environment - Tri Tan is an evident reminder of this. Our stay here was very enjoyable - we were Fly Fishing three days and Snorkeling. As such the Cabana served its purpose as a place to sleep. If you are looking for a Hemingway experience in the early year's of the Keys, this is your place. Backpacking and tired of hostels? This is your place. Afraid of the dark? This is your place. Overall it was an OK stay. Were it upgraded ever so little it could command twice the rate and be a superb place to stay.
