We had a fantastic stay at Andrea's Finca house. We had just spent a week on a sailboat, and it was the perfect place to relax, get our land legs, and have a calm look around Placencia. Her suggestions on nearby pools / bars / restaurants were spot on. We made the 100-yard walk to the Turtle Inn beach bar several times!
The property is full of palm trees, which keeps it nice and cool, compared to the rest of the area. The sea breeze flows into the rooms and kept us very comfortable. I don't think there could be a better location on the peninsula. It's private, tucked between some other quiet, upscale hotels, and felt very safe.
We also greatly appreciated the friendly help from Nancy, Jahvree and the other caretakers — they even helped us out with some laundry.
