This was our second winter trip to the Turtle Inn. We were delayed by a blizzard and arrived 3 days late, but it was such a welcome relief to get there. Can't say enough about how we enjoy this magical place. Staff was top notch, food was excellent, and the massage! Oh the massage. It made us forget about the 39" of snow back home. We will be back again next year.

Sargassum seaweed lines the beaches throughout the Carribean and this beach is no exception. Also, sand flies and mosquitoes were prevalent in this area, requiring nets over the bed to sleep at night. The property was nice, but very expensive.

Our cottage had a wonderful beach view and was at the end of the property. It had a screened in porch and a beautiful interior which was clean and spacious. We were only a few feet away from the "Adult Pool" which we swam in every day. The staff were super friendly and helpful and went above and beyond in everything, including our dining and arranging our two excursions. We loved the Sunset Cruise around Placencia Bay and the Monkey River Tour was very interesting. If you do the Monkey River make sure you bring plenty of insect repellent and a hat. The mosquitoes were everywhere! Other than that we had a fabulous stay and will surely be back. It's a real gem in paradise!

What a beautiful resort. After coming from San Pedro this place was truly paradise. The staff is friendly and everyone is always willing to help. The restaurants are delicious. The concierge will book everything for you so please use them. Take some time to go to the gift shop and have some delicious pizza! The rooms are amazing just be careful with the mosquitos. I will definitely be back here.

Gorgeous stay at a seafront cottage. No idea how the cleaning staff manages to keep all the sand out of the cottages, but they work some serious magic. The biggest downsides were the dive shop being across the street and the rotating restaurants that all felt similar. Going on an activity/snorkel/dive and having to cross the street was an inconvenience and added to the clothing I needed to take, as I felt uncomfortable walking in public in swimwear. The restaurants rotate through the nights with the same staff working them, but a different theme. I wish we would have headed into town to try the local restaurants sooner, as we enjoyed those better. Overall - we are already talking about returning and the property is gorgeous with helpful staff.
