One word describes this home....WOW. This home exceeded all expectations and was so much more then what we expected (and we expected alot). The home is stunning with everything you need - the pool and hottub are amazing part of the experience as swimming in front of the home isn't the best but you have paddle boards and kayaks at your disposal. we saw dolphins and manatees right in front of our place we paddled right up to them as they swam along what a sight! Placencia is a quiet village and about a 15 min drive away but it's nice to go in and check it out. David is on site to take care of anything you need he is absolutely FANTASTIC. He is there for you all day and even picked us up late night without any hesitation. he is an awesome person and feels like family. we love David and also his wife Christy. they are amazing and you will find that out right from when you get picked up at the airport (if you decide to use their transportation - which I highly recommend) it saves you money and you get to see alot of the country side - we saw toucans and toucanettes on the drive down! overall this house is unbelievable it is a premium price with a premium service - but it was still cheaper then going to an all inclusive resort and the freedom do whatever you wish is worth every penny. I will never be back to an all inclusive resort with options like this villa around. we used the resort's service for tours and it was worth it (Jennifer is awesome too!) - snorkeling is a must and I also went fishing - AMAZING!!!! if you are hesitant about booking this premium villa - don't be - you will not be disappointed - we sure weren't and we will back back 100%!!!! thank you for such a memorable time!! Also communication prompt any questions you have leading up to your trip and answered immediately.
