Laura was a fabulous host! She was super communicative and waited for us when we were running a tad behind to check in. She gave many suggestions on what to do and where to eat. plus even helped us make a bread fruit dish, which is a fruit that grows in front of the house on a giant tree! quite the experience she gave us, and Laura is super fun to chat with to get insights on local living. The house was close to everything! the board walk, restaurants and bars on the beach and close to tours and dive shops all within a 5 min walk. The house is spacious and very comfortable, with nice amenities and great air conditioned rooms. the patio was great to have a drink and lay on back and relax in the hammock while watching Placencia locals roam by. overall, my family had a memorable time in Placencia.
