This was a great place to stay in Placencia! It was really quiet but close to everything. It was so nice to be able to sit outside and eat breakfast and then just walk a few feet to the water to swim! There were a lot of people walking down the beach selling things but they stop to talk to everyone so it really doesn't matter where you stay. They did actually come up on the private porch a few times. Recommend bringing eye mask because it gets really sunny really early in the morning. Appreciated the complimentary airport pick up.
