We came to Belize for our first time with two other couples, to celebrate my husband and I’s 10 year wedding anniversary and my 30th birthday. What a treat it was to stay at La Rotonda. The setting was perfect, it was off the road a little ways back and and was gated, which made us feel so safe( not that we needed that, Placencia all around was a safe place to be)! There was plenty of room for all of us and the layout of the house great. We rented golf carts for the duration of our stay and it was only about a ten minute drive into Placencia. Two of our days we didn’t even leave the house, it was so great. The house was so much bigger in person than we thought it was going to be! The pool was perfect and having the beach right there was awesome, we went out there everyday to swim, kayak or paddle board. The bed and bedding was very comfortable for a great nights sleep at the end of our busy days. We were admittedly nervous to drink the water out of the fridge, but it was just fine. We picked fresh coconuts and mangoes off of the trees on the property and ate them and added them to our drinks, DELICIOUS!! If you’re a coffee drinker, don’t forget to grab some fresh cream and Sugar at the store, YUUUUMMM!! Noel, the caretaker of the property was one of the best parts of our trip, and one of the nicest people we met. He was so knowledgeable of his country and was full of information that he was happy to share with us. He worked hard at keeping the place pristine and we were very grateful to have him around everyday to visit with. We also loved having the house pup, Rex and friend Precious to hang with! We were asked if it was okay for them to hang around and our group, being the dog lovers we are, said absolutely!! We all became the best of friends and they even came for the ocean swims with us, making sure we were ok, which was pretty neat. The location was great for all of the things that we wanted to do, such as ziplining in the jungle and going to find some whale sharks and snorkel the reef! We can’t wait to come back! We fell in love with Belize.
