From the day I chose Candace & Rick's place, the experience has been nothing but stellar. Candace was more than the host, she helped me plan my entire itinerary for my time there. I told her what I had in mind and she made suggestions accordingly. Before I stepped foot on the plane, my excursions were scheduled. That was a load off of me, because this was my first international trip. Being my first international trip, there was Emilio waiting for me when I reached Belize City to set me up for the domestic flight to Placencia. Candace met us at the domestic flights airport to take us to our place for the week; she even helped with the luggage. She made suggestions for restaurants and the reservations for the times we chose. She was just a message away and responded super quickly. Rick is just as genuine as Candace. There are many coconut trees and he cut some down and gave my daughter and I a coconut lesson and let us eat the meat of the coconut and drink some coconut water. He then let us try some of his coffee liqueur, which was phenomenal. He provided coffee soap for us to use and I can't go without mentioning his ground coffee. The one word that comes to mind is, superb. There place is in the village, so if you want to live with the locals, this is the place to be. So, if you're thinking of visiting Placencia, don't hesitate to book with Candace & Rick. They will not disappoint.
