The home was in a perfect location on the beach, just steps from the water. Close enough to all of the fun but not in the middle of it all where foot traffic/noise could be an issue. Carolyn was great with communication leading up to the trip and Tricia, the Property Manager, was very helpful throughout our stay. Walter called ahead to find out that our flight was early so he was already waiting at the airport to pick us up. All in all, the home itself was great! The biggest disappointment for our trip (honeymoon) was the poor condition of the beach and the number of restaurants/bars that were closed. The beach was not maintained at all; the seagrass was very bad while we were there but it also came with TONS of garbage/plastic. This is not the fault of the host, and hopefully some feedback from more guests & tourists will encourage the local community to start making an effort to clean it up. And unfortunately, we experienced 70%+ of the local restaurants, bars, shops, etc. being closed. Partially due to the time of the year and also due to their response to Covid. As far as favorites that we did get to enjoy; Rumfish and Muna were our top picks for dinner. Barefoot was a great chill environment for drinks and food on the beach. Brewed Awakenings had amazing seaweed shakes but we only got to try those once before it was then randomly closed the next 4 business days. Our favorite tour was the Daytripper which was a catamaran that went off the coast for 2 hours of snorkeling, lunch and a sail back. We hope to return to Placencia someday and experience the bustling village we've heard great things about! We would definitely consider staying in Carolyn's home again!
