Whenever you come, wherever you're from, whatever age you are, and whatever you're doing in Placencia -- but especially if you're a diver or snorkeler - - you'll feel very much at home in this brand new suite in Maya Beach because your hosts, Herbert & Simone are both licensed dive masters who are now in the hospitality business in Belize. Built with what you might call TLC ('Tender Loving Care'), you'll find everything you need at Maya Beach Stann Creek to make your holiday adventure comfortable and convenient from the little touches of mahogany to the ultra-clean brand new little kitchen and bath. And you're just a quick five-minute walk to the main street where you can discover some exceptional New-York style restaurants and bars waterside (to meet the local expats) as well as local markets for shopping and the local bus stops. If you're into a Keep Fit program, you'll also discover a great walking path that stretches for miles also along the main road. If you're traveling solo, Maya Beach Stann Creek is a very safe and secure area (neighborhood cul-de-sac along a sandy road) to hang your hat for a week or a few days as I did. And your hosts live right on the property so if you need to get some directions or need some help in booking the best local tours, you're in the right place as Herbert & Simone know Placencia like the back of your hand. Before I forget: If you're coming by air to the Placencia airstrip, they can pick you up so you don't have to think twice about how you're going to find them. To wrap things up: Would I come again? Yes, absolutely; and this time I'd stay longer (even though it rained most of the time I was there) so I could experience more of what this unique area of Belize has to offer. Maya Beach, Stann Creek, offers you exceptional value with exceptional hosts if you're on a budget as I was.
