Our stay at Casa Placencia was a pleasure! Jackie Tipton, the owner, greeted us warmly at the airport. She prepared delicious baked goods for us on two occasions. She provided great recommendations for restaurants and shopping. She was always accessible. The young men that work for her were polite and helpful.
The grounds consist of colorful gardens (humming birds are common visitors), a quiet reading/relaxing spot consisting of a very comfortable hammock, two chairs, and a small table. There is a screen enclosed area with tables for meals, drinks. There is a BBQ grill out back, along with benches, chairs, and a pedestal table The building itself is immaculate and appears to be newer than it actually is.
Jackie shows her support for local artists by displaying samples of their work in the guest rooms.
We loved having bikes available to us. There are beaches, restaurants, and shops within short biking distances (~10 minutes).
I highly recommend Casa Placencia-a great value.
