Do yourself a favor and book a room at Bayshore Bijou Suites! Never have I had such service and hospitality from an Airbnb host! Tanya is a do-it-all woman, she was helpful with information when I needed, suggestions on things to do in the area, outstanding cook and baker, and warm hearted. Cayo was equally hospitable and went out of his way to help with anything we needed. Maya Beach is a perfect location to be away from the business of Placencia, but still a short drive/cab or easy public bus ride to the action. Plus there are a few beach bars and awesome restaurants within a block distance of the property too. And there is a convenience store on the corner a block away. We stopped there daily to restock food/drinks. Our room was clean, well stocked, and the grounds/pool area were even better than expected. Kayaking is a must do activity here and it is free of charge—Cayo will get you all set up and explain anything you need. Bikes were well maintained and available when we wanted to go for a ride. My husband and I have traveled a fair amount but this was our first visit to the area and to Belize. We will definitely be back again!
