8.6 out of 10, Excellent, (173)
"My son stayed here for three nights in the middle of a diving trip. He says: "Julia's was the perfect place to stay to get the true Placencia feel. So convenient to everything. The room was clean and smelled good. I liked how close it was to the Barefoot Beach Bar! And Shelley was so nice. I would definitely return.""

"We had a wonderful visit at Casa De La Vista! This was our second stop after a visit in the jungle and we were very much looking forward to staying on the beach. The house is directly on the Beach and the view is right off of a postcard. Truly magnificent. It was HOT when we were there and we all (2 adults/2 boys) used the pool every single day. The pool was magnificent because it is covered and offered some relief from the extreme heat while you also get to enjoy the beach view. The house...

"We loved staying in this home along the nothern part of Placencia Rd away from the cities and crowds with direct access to the sea. Herbert was a fabulous host who was very positive and responsive to all of our inquiries. The home was well-equipped and our 2 young adult children loved having their own floor with their own bedrooms and bathrooms with a kitchen! The construction next door was loud at times, but not the fault of our host. It looks like they were almost finished. A few men...

9.6 out of 10, Exceptional, (82)
"The property was a little smaller than we expected, so it was a little less ventilated than we hoped. However, the beachfront was very peaceful and mostly quiet. The location is also very convenient. Whenever we had issues Mirko was very responsive and went above and beyond to make sure we enjoyed our stay. Overall we had a wonderful experience and would book again. "

"This was a very nice and charming place for 2 couples. If there is only one complaint to be had it would be the access road to the property. Riddled with clay pot holes that take a toll on your re Tal vehicle and your neck. The property itself is very nice and accommodating. We were easily picked up at the dock by our chartered boat that took us to the many Keys in Placencia. I would come back here."

"First off, the owners and manager are awesome. They are very responsive, and communicate very well. The location was perfect for us, in the middle of Hopkins town. You are able to get the feel for day to day life of the residence. The people were fantastic. The place is nice and quaint, but we loved it. My wife and I both agree, the only thing it was lacking was a couch in the lounge. But honesty, we loved the place and our time in Belize. Nice work!!"

"We had a lovely stay at Casa Carazon after spending two weeks in the Belizean rainforest. This is a private peaceful setting for soaking up the Caribbean sea and sun! The house is spacious, clean and well stocked with everything you need. We enjoyed fishing off the dock, taking a dip in the pool and sea kayaking. In the evening we had scrabble contexts. A store is merely 10 minutes away for restocking or picking up anything you might have forgotten. The caretakers were attentive and gracious....

"Our stay was comfortable, with a good distance of walking to Lobster fest. Our room was pretty clean, provided all the amenities mentioned, and even soap and towels. There were some leftover, used things of soap that were still in the shower area from visitors past. It was hard to find our place at first, and even as I was sitting in my hammock one of the days, some visitors had to ask me to help them find their building. But overall, once we got settled it was a great spot to stay at."

"Our family of 7 had a fantastic vacation in this beautiful escape on Maya Beach. The house is very well equipped with all the amenities a large family with small children would need. The beach is gorgeous and right outside the back door. The property manager was a godsend. There is a lot to do within 30 min drive due to proximity to Placencia (diving, bars, restaurants, grocery stores, bakery, airport shops). For more adventures, the major sights are within 1-3 hr drive. It was amazing! We are...

"Blue Diamond is an amazing find. From the moment we booked, Valerie, the host had excellent communication. She provided information on meal planning, excursions and answered questions about the property. As our trip approached we were connected with Macurio (Big Mac). He coordinated grocery shopping, meal planning, and the bar. We communicated on WhatsApp and that worked great. When we arrived Big Mac was waiting for us with the party bus (totally worth it). There was plenty of room for...
