Cristina’s place is absolutely beautiful- the pictures accurately represent both the gorgeous small private beach and the perfectly laid out cabanas. We loved the eating space in between and very much enjoyed using the kayak to get out and explore. We found the whole place so light, airy, and full of windows. It was wonderful to wake up with the sea stretching out in front of you. Cristina Was incredibly responsive, and also incredibly helpful. I couldn’t imagine a better hose and she has created a beautiful home. The one thing to be aware of, for Placencia, is that it is on a narrow peninsula. Because of that, the main road runs behind the cabanas. You do get some Road noise, especially during the middle of the day, when there is the most traffic. Traffic really slows down at night, and early morning, and you don’t really notice it at the beach. This would not keep me from coming back here, It was a very perfect property, but I think it is good to know that you will hear the cars going by, so you know what to expect. These are wonderful cabanas, with a great little private beach, but it is not a remote island getaway.
