We weren't quite sure what to expect having never been to the area before. Host Miriam was very helpful and made Thanksgiving dinner reservations for us at the Maya Hotel Bistro, which was excellent. It's a little difficult to find food to cook, but we figured it out and even bought a fish right off the dock in Placencia. Also took an island hopping/fishing trip one day, which was a blast.
Overall it was a great place to stay!
