A tremendous value and great location but not for everyone.
Julia's Guesthouse was great for us it was on the beach, incredibly affordable, felt very safe, and located in the heart of Placencia's bar and restaurant scene. Staff and housekeeping were available and very welcoming. The rooms are very basic and the Barefoot Bar next door can be quite loud at night so those looking to relax in the evening or go to sleep early will be better off looking elsewhere. We spent most of our time on tours and exploring Placencia so there was no need to stay at a fancy resort. If you're looking for a no frills great value in Placencia I highly recommend Julia's!
