This was a wonderful place to stay in Placencia. The home itself is perfect, clean, and spacious so that we were very comfortable during our time there. We loved the fact that our backyard was essentially the beach, but partially shaded by trees so that we could enjoy the sea breeze without burning up. It's a pleasant walk down the beach to the main town, and only a BZ$5 cab ride back if you've eaten too much gelato at Tutti Frutti. We used the bikes a lot to get to town (about a 10-15 casual ride) because parking options in town are limited, but it's a safe road with many speed bumps to keep the cars under control.
We also appreciated the fact that the house was very close (less than 1/2 mile) to Splash Dive Shop which we'd also recommend as a good dive/snorkel company.
This was a wonderful place to stay and an incredible value. We'll definitely look to stay here again if we make it back to Placencia.
