Nothing but praise for La Vida Belize. The beach house is just as pictured and exceeded my expectations in terms of cleanliness, coziness, and closeness to the beach and regional activities. We took a dip in the ocean every morning, laid out on the porch, sipped wine in the little pool, and cooked out on the grill at night. The location is just far enough away to drop below all the busy-ness that tourism can bring, but close enough to put you in the center of nightlife and excellent outdoor adventures. We definitely rented a car and would recommend it for anyone who wants to do more than dine out nearby or visit the village of Placencia. Brad and Lucas were 100% attentive to what few queries I had and made us feel right at home. Such a great experience and would stay here again if ever in Belize.
