1. La Vida Belize - Casa is a Beautiful Beach Front Home with Pool

La Vida Belize - Casa is a Beautiful Beach Front Home with Pool

9.8 out of 10, Exceptional, (26 reviews)
"Really enjoyed our time at this property. We loved the pool and the beautiful setting. We wish it had been closer to Placencia town as in the lower season many restaurants that were close were closed so it forced us to drive much further to get dinner. Also the room with the bunk beds is incredibly small which was challenging for my two adult children. They made it work but it was not ideal. The BBQ was in very poor condition and was barely operable for us to use to cook dinner. Still loved...

"A few miles out of the hustle and bustle of town, with easy access to it all-The beachfront at this place was incredible!Coconut palms provide a little shade, and the dock/pier are out of a postcard! Our unit was modestly sized(perfect for a couple) with great amenities, a well outfitted kitchen, and a comfortable bed. The whole facility was clean and inviting. A great pool, good landscaping, toys like fishing poles and snorkels- and the best part was the snorkeling right off the beach here!...
