"Ocean Breeze is a fabulous boutique resort! Everything was impeccable. The view from my cabana was spectacular. I've never felt more taken care of than by the staff and owners of Ocean Breeze. The room and amenities are 5 star. Luxurious linens, beautiful furniture, and lovely fixtures. The studio had everything you need. The fact that they have kayaks, bikes and snorkel gear available for guests really made my vacation special. They also aided in setting up a private tour. The bar, Toucan...

"There were 15 people in our group. We had a great time. Albert Bolona, the bartender was the best. The chef, Sam, did an incredible job. The boat ride to and from the island was a little torturous with getting wet. No air conditioning but the breeze always blowing made it manageable."

"Midgrade American style resort too far from everything. Lots of construction going. Resort fee which is fine but then services $ on everything and if you eat at the only restaurant on the property there is an extra "pier $" bc the restaurant is on the pier. Not even a complimentary bottle of water in your room. 5 days in beach front villa. Nicest room available. Ragged out common area chairs and umbrellas. Very nice staff. "
"Our condo was very nice and clean the front desk was very knowledgeable Joann and the young lady in the office answered all questions. Thanks for a great stay."
"Wonderful stay at the Brisa! The rooms are thoughtfully designed with quality finishings (hardwood and natural stone throughout) and the staff were incredibly helpful with suggestions of what to do and arranging transport. The resort is perfectly located in the heart of Placencia but doesn't feel crowded. The beachfront itself is well-maintained and there are free kayaks and bikes to use as well. Highly recommended! "
"This resort was amazing from the staff, who accommodated me and my wife very well, the room, the views, the food. There were plenty to do from swimming in the pool or the beach, which was literally a step off my balcony, to snorkeling, fishing, paddle boarding, kayaking, and pickleball etc. The resort is on its own lisland however they have boards to get from the island to the village on demand. This resortbis luxury and relaxation at its finest. I booked the spacious king and I'm telling you it's beautiful and luxurious and you will not be disappointed.
Just a few things to be aware of is room service was not 24/7 with a cutoff time of between 9-10pm. The food menu was a bit limited in my opinion however staff will try to accommodate your requests as much as possible. Also, there's a service charge at the end of stay which is gratuity for staff which I payed around $182USD for a 5-6 day stay.
I will definitely stay at this resort again. "
"An absolutely incredible stay in Hopkins! It doesn't get better than having your own private space right on the beach. It was nice to have our own kitchenette with a toaster, air fryer, coffee maker, microwave, and fridge. Having AC was also a huge perk. Arlene was such a friendly host—helpful, attentive, and responsive. We had zero issues with check-in and were able to connect with her upon check-out even though we left at the crack of dawn. The area is very walkable to restaurants and convenience stores."
"The reality of this property is even better than pictures and description offer. The beachfront is truly lovely and the grounds are very well maintained. It seemed that all of the people working at the resort really enjoyed their jobs, and they were all so eager to help and make our stay excellent. I thought it would be awkward to share common spaces with others, but the shared areas were large and well distributed for groups, and the private rooms offer all the privacy we needed. These villas are such a gem!"
