This is a convenient location to Placencia Village making grocery shopping, yoga-ing, ice creaming licking, dinning and music stomping enjoyable. It was close enough to the beach to fulfill the swimming desires and far enough away to keep out of the wind; however if you want a more quieter experience stay away from the center main street around the dinning establishments of Chachi and RumFish. I would have to say that Stephen and the Staff at Placencia Villas are the most hospitable, friendly people I have every experience in any place I have stayed in around the world. When we asked for something it was brought to our room quickly with a smile. To give you an example, our coffee pot wasn't working properly and we asked if they had another one available, within a few minutes they came back to our door with a brand new coffee pot still in the box. What we asked for we received. It was a great place to stay and we would definitely stay again. PS the fans and AC worked really well :)
