We stayed in the swan villa (dolphin ) for 6 nights. We had a great stay and really enjoyed the unique space. At this property you are very close to several restaurants in Maya beach. The UMAYA and Maya Bistro were our favorites. It’s a 15 minute drive to downtown Placencia ... we ate at Wendy’s (not the fast food chain but a local restaurant) for breakfast several times. There is a very sweet black cat (Senior Blanco) at the property...pick up a few cans of cat food and he’ll hang out with you by the pool. We really enjoyed the stay and highly recommend swan villas.
