Recommended Placencia Hotels/Resorts
Some of the resorts and hotels on the Placencia Peninsula that we recommend based on the quality of their services, facilities and amenities within their specific rate class and commitment to sustainable and responsible tourism include:
- Chabil Mar Villas: Chabil Mar Villas is located just north of Casa del Sol Villas (still within Placencia Village proper) and includes 22 seafront, seaview and partial seaview villas with a mix of 1 and 2 bedroom villas, some with sleeping lofts. Chabil Mar amenities include a private dock, beach bar, two infinity seafront swimming pools, restaurant, and 24-hour concierge. All villas include a washer and dryer, cable television, private verandah and complimentary Wi-Fi Internet connection. Daily maid service and complimentary use of bikes and kayas include
- Miramar Beach Apartments: Located in a quiet location in Placencia Village just north of D'Tatch Beach Cafe, Miramar is within very easy walking distance to just about everything in Placencia Village. One three bedroom/2 bath apartment is on the second floor of the 2-story seafront buildling with two seafront studio suites on the first floor. Six 1-bedroom seaview apartments are just behind the front building, which is the converted beach house of a Belize City attorney and his family. All apartments have a full kitchen, a/c, private bath, hot and cold running water, verandah, Wi-Fi Internet access and cable television. Daily maid service is provided and the apartments have a full-time on-site manager.
- Turtle Inn: Turtle Inn, owned by Francis Ford Coppola, is a full service resort located north of Chabil Mar Villas and just outside of Placencia Villlage proper, so access to Placencia Village is most convenient by bike, taxi or golf cart, although the walk to Placencia from Turtle Inn is a very pleasant walk on the beach. Lodging is in thatched cottages or two-bedroom/two-bath villas, both with screened seafront, seaview or gardenview verandahs. No a/c, but a/c is not necessary except in May and July - November, and then only in the Gardenview Cottages and Villas. Resort amenities include two seafront infinity swimming pools, beach bar, 3 restaurants, dive shop and small marina, and Placencia Lagoon-side spa. Very good service and staff.
- Naia Resort and Spa: Located on a 200-acre environmental reserve spanning beach to lagoon, Naia offers excellent dining, skilled spa treatments, beginner- advanced yoga classes and attentive service. Lodging includes one to five bedroom cottages and houses, some with private pools. Amenities include complimentary use of bikes, kayaks, stand-up paddle boards, spa, yoga and movement studio, and gym.
