"Copal Tree is an amazing place. Nestled on top of a hill in the heart of the rainforest Rooms are very private and they have screened balconies that place you in the heart of the rainforest. Staff are so friendly and helpful. So many activities. Did a birding class in the morning and saw keelbilled toucans and collated aracaris steps from our room. Would definitely come back for a return trip."

This place is beautiful and well-kept. The complimentary breakfast was delicious and they did allow us to order from the menu after the first few days. We were there five nights. Our room said it had a kitchenette but there was only a coffee maker and mini fridge. Our second room did have a microwave. We had to switch rooms because on the third night we were lying in bed and saw bed bugs! We thought we had been getting bit by mosquitos but it turns out it was bed bugs! Luckily the manager...

We had a wonderful two-night stay at Tanager Rainforest Lodge. The peaceful rainforest setting made it the perfect place to relax and enjoy nature. The Garden View Cottage was clean, comfortable, and well maintained, and the entire property was beautiful.

We stayed at Chaab’il B’e for four days over Christmas 2019. My wife and I were the only two guests on the property, and Sheila put us into Lodge Room #2. We loved our stay because of the grounds - one can walk into the jungle (remember bug spray), to a swimming hole, and see many birds - and the animals (two dogs, Chewy & Solo, live on site). The breakfasts are also filling and freshly-prepared and tasty, and the staff allowed us to use the upper room at night to just hang out and relax. ...

My girlfriend and I could not be more happy with our stay at the Ellysian. I truly believe it is the best hotel/resort to stay in all of Placencia and possibly Belize. I know this probably sounds fake or like an add for this hotel but I really am this in love with the hotel and recommend it to everyone.
First off, the facilities themselves are beautiful! Everything is kept extremely clean and beautifully furnished. The rooms are GIANT! We stayed in a non-ocean front room which we...

The room was not an ocean front view as it was advertised as it was a pool view. It was a long walk to parking on the street that was not convenient. The room was great in that it had high end furniture, fixtures, etc.

This place is super new or super newly renovated. It seems to be one of the first of its kind in this particular town. There is a fence around the property, but we didn’t see any particular need for it, aside from making guests feel secure and a little more away from the local sounds and sights. The neighborhood seemed laid back and not touristy.

Belize is back in business and we felt safe during our stay in Placencia! Everyone in town (whole families even riding bikes and in cars) wear their masks. It's no political statement in Belize...it's just done, and how nice is that? It's clear the little town has been affected by the lack of tourist dollars for nearly a year. Several restaurants and accommodations look like they won't be coming back. But the reasons you'd come to Belize: beach, weather, people, natural wonders...they're all...

We needed a place to rest our heads in Placencia on either end of our trip to an outer Caye. Julias was perfect. Right on the beach, waling distance to lots of good eats. Even though our flight arrived 5 hours late Shelly was ready and waiting for us when we arrived. Her brother Ty was attentive to us as well. We appreciate your kindness!

Right on the walkway that crosses the main tourist part of Placencia, with easy access to everything. The place itself was quiet, very well maintained, clean, comfortable, and most importantly, had an AC unit. It was so hot outside! Would definitely recommend and stay there again.

I came to this town to take the ferry to Honduras. The owners were so kind and the hotel was comfortable. They really went above and beyond to make the experience wonderful and even drove me to the ferry the next day. Highly recommend!

Staff was very friendly and actually allowed us to check in early since our room was ready and we needed a place to leave our bags.
The only gripe I have is that they used a lot of Pine Sol to clean the room, and we needed to air the room out for several hours before things returned to a normal level. I can't really fault them for that since we checked in so early, so I marked one off on comfort but would still give them a 5-star rating for customer service. :)
