"This is my third stay at Easy Living Apartments, and I will stay again, just to state that up front. Location within Placencia village, unbeatable! The apartments are spacious and clean. Due to the flooding this year, the apartment smelled of mold, but it wasn't terrible. The shower didn't want to drain, so that needs fixed. *Primary complaint, unlike previous visits, one of the other apartments had roughly ten people staying in it and it was day and night chaos. Loud, Loud, Loud! It was pretty...

"Perfect location, their is a supermarket just next door. The saff is very helpfull and friendly. The only thing I would add is a place to unpack your clothes. The property has no storing nor hangers for your clothes. In the bathroom there are no towel hooks which could be nice to have. The toiletries could have more comfortable dispensers and not just small wooden cups"
