Yes, this place is really as beautiful as the pictures show. Here are some pictures we took while we were there for a full week:

The kayaks are fantastic and we loved going out on them during our entire stay. The bicycles were very convenient to get around.
Be aware that his location is a substantial distance from Placencia Village, so you will need to arrange transportation for that. Either rent a car, use a taxi, bicycles, golf cart or, as we did, use a tour company.
We highly recommend Captain Jaks to book your excursions. They are very professional and do a fantastic job. Most importantly, they will pick you up and drop you off for each of your tours. They will even let you explore Placencia village before giving you a ride back.
Placencia resort is only a couple of miles away and a short ride on the bicycles. We ate dinner there several times. Ask for Nassar to take care of you.
A little bit further is Maya Beach bistro and they definitely have the best food in Placencia. Highly recommended.
