I LOVE Placencia!!!
This was my 3rd trip to Belize (2nd to Placencia) and I can't decide if I love the people or the country more. Everyone we encountered was so nice!!! The only place that we ran into rude Belizeans was at the airport in Belize City when we were heading home. Maybe they were as sad as we were that we were heading home :).
Gail and Roger and their entire staff made us feel comfortable and welcome immediately!!! The nice thing about the Nautical Inn is that they have all types of accommodations at the same location. Everything from a bunkroom (reminded me of a hostel) to single hotel rooms to studio apartments to 2 bedroom villas. There may have been a 1 bedroom villa too and I just didn't see it. The first time we went to Placencia, we didn't know about the Nautical Inn and stayed at a different set of villas. We had way too many bedrooms for our needs but we all wanted to be in the same location. The Nautical Inn would have solved that issue for us.
