"Everything was great. Friendly staff."

"The staff was amazing! Perfect view. The only negative is the sargassum. On some days it smelled really bad."

"Everything from arrival to departure was immaculate. The staff made me feel right at home constantly checked on me and made sure I had everything I needed. The pool was the perfect temperature, the food was amazing and I honestly was at peace my entire stay. Make sure you ask about doing the sound bath class while you’re there oh and definitely get a massage as well. I would rate my stay 1000/10"

"We had a cute ocean front cabana just 50 feet or so from the water. There were always empty lounge chairs and hammocks available to use. Restaurants with great food and sometimes entertainment were just a short walk by road or right along the beach. The hostess Arlene was very friendly and helpful. I highly recommend staying here for a relaxing time and opportunity to experience the local Garifuna culture."

"Beautiful location and very comfortable and pretty rooms."

"The bar next door is no small one. The music is loud and really energizing until midnight and no earlier whichever night. We had the cabin the closest and didn’t bother trying to sleep before midnight. The cabin is really nice, perfect with AC and the size was nice for two people. We cooked a lot and there were not a lot of ustensiles but we managed. The patio with the view and hammock was our highlight."

"Me and my wife had a great experience at the Belizean Nirvana. The apartment had everything that you could ask for or need. The staff were attentive to all or our needs. The grounds were well kept with scenic views of the ocean. Would definitely return and refer family and friends that travel to Placencia."

"10/10 Most relaxing trip ever! The staff, the island, and the food were all perfect! There was not one negative thing, except a week wasn’t long enough! We can not wait to go back."
