The Finca beach cabin is excellent, with only some very minor flaws. It's a nice, quiet location, right on the beach a little north of Placencia town. The wi-fi works great, and pretty much all you need in amenities is here. There's no AC, and you don't need it with the floor fan. This beach is better than most in Belize - not a lot of sea grass when we were here. There are 4 Adirondack chairs to sit on right by the water, and a hammock too.
I wish they had a microwave oven for cooking here. A few more pieces of silverware and small cups would help too. It is difficult to wash the larger pots and pans in the small sink. I was grateful for the coffeemaker – how nice to watch the sunrise right on the beach with a cup of coffee!
As for the bath, the shower is an on-demand system that doesn’t work well, usually running out of hot water for a few minutes when you’ve only been under it for a couple of minutes. I think this is just an adjustment that needs to be done on the heater. It is also a little odd that the bathroom's walls don't reach the ceiling, so anything that one does in there will be no secret to the other people in the cabin.
BTW, this cabin really can't handle more than 2 people. I slept on the futon, while my daughters slept in the bed. I'm not very picky on short-term beds, but the mattress on the futon is just too thin to be comfortable. My daughters said the bed wasn't so great - a little too firm for their tastes - but it sure felt good to me. Also, the kitchen table is very small, and has only 2 chairs. No big deal there: there is a picnic table on the beach. If you have more than 2 people in your party definitely check out the lovely pink house here instead. For two, this place is perfect.
No review of Finca is complete without mentioning Marley, our beach companion. What a sweet dog, and how nice to have a pet to hang with on vacation. Staying here at Andrea’s cabin was the highlight of our time here. We’ll be back!
