The unit had no hot water which was unusual. I’ve traveled to Placencia several times in the past and expected the need to let the water run for an extended period prior to the water warming up but we literally never had even slightly warm water.
We also never received information on the use of the safe which per the written handout provided in the unit was supposed to be emailed to us. We were instructed to contact the owner via WhatsApp by the concierge for help. The owner viewed my message (you can see read notifications on WhatsApp) but didn’t reply for four hours and then told us to contact his wife as he was incorrectly listed at the contact. By that point it was too late and we were checking out the next morning anyway. I was glad this wasn’t our full stay in Placencia.
The accommodations were otherwise attractive and located close the village. It was not an easy walk to the beach as advertised though.
