The photos from this AirBnB can speak for itself but the experience was beyond 5 stars. This home was beautifully built with the visitors in mind. They layout of the cabanas provided us and the couple we were traveling with a private and group setting all in one. The cabanas were separated just far enough for us to join together as a group on the patio and the beach but also provided us the privacy when we needed it.
One warning I must state is since this home is located on the beach you will have to deal with mosquitoes. We bought along two types of bug spray and the one that worked well for us was the Deep woods bug spray. Unfortunately, we did not bring enough off spray but we didn’t want to be trapped indoors. We went to the local supermarket and they recommended us to buy incense bug repellent. The patio and patio furniture are mainly made from wood and the breeze from the sea can change at any time. We made the mistake of leaving the incense burning while going in to make food. When we came back out we noticed the breeze picked up and seen the incense tipped over but it was too late. It damaged the beautiful furniture and we felt horrible about it. Please help preserve the beauty of this home, we will definitely we coming back. Please bring a lot of the Deep wood bug spray. You don’t want to miss out on the view and the cool breeze from the sea. Even our rain forest excursion tour guide asked us if we had the deep wood bug spray when he picked us up and asked us to pack it.
This was my first experience with staying at an AirBNB out of the states and I had fears of missing out on the amenities of the normal resort experience. But having Christina our host there to guide me eased my fears. She was always there answer my questions and was easy to contact and responded quickly to all inquiries before and during the trip. The restaurants in the area were amazing. We ate food from the small local shops as well as the gourmet cuisine restaurants. Rum fish y Vino is a must of your looking for gourmet food and the salbutes from the local restaurants are a must if you would like to try food from Belize.
The purpose of our trip was to celebrate my husbands 40th birthday and I was so worried about it being around the hurricane season. Worried about the October raining conditions and not being able to experience Placencia. Yes it did rain on and off but we were still able to go to excursions and experience the culture. My husband loves fishing and we enjoy a beautiful day with sunny skies on our fishing trip. Another plus of going during an off season was getting one on one personal service during our excursions. One of our tour guides said “Belize is a 5 miles per hour type of vacation” and that was what the overall experience and vacation felt like. If your looking to get away from the busy, everything was due yesterday life style in the states, Placencia Belize is the perfect place for it and this AirBNB and Our amazing host Christina will make your visit much more enjoyable.
Waking up every morning to beautiful dream like sunrise and sleeping every night to the sounds of the waves is what will miss the most. We will definitely be back. Thank you so much again Christina. You were amazing.
