Laura's Lookout was a wonderful place to spend a week on a family vacation in Placencia. The accommodations were nice and very clean. The veranda was a great place to spend time. The location is perfect -- in the heart of the village and close to everything. Even though we arrived a little later than expected, Laura was there upon arrival and excited to show us the place and answer any questions we had. She was also very responsive during the entire booking process, which made working with her super easy.
Grocery, coffee shop, gelato and restaurants all close by while the beach is an easy, short walk. Rumfish makes great cocktails. Hit up LNA for a morning johnny cake and try The Vine in the alley for amazing stew chicken and rice and beans. Carmen's down the road makes a great salbute. So many great foods to eat -- don't forget to grab some fry jacks!
For excursions -- Gilbert organized through TripNTravel did an amazing job as a tour guide on our trip to Xunantunich. We also did some snorkeling -- you can organize a trip or just go off the beach. From the pier down the road we saw crab, spotted rays and fish. Don't forget to stop by the zoo -- you can see native species up close!
This was my second time to Placencia and I am always so impressed with the hospitality of everyone we met. I'll be back again someday -- and wouldn't hesitate to stay at Laura's Lookout.
Cheers!
