Hotels near Placencia Airport - PLJ, Placencia Village

The village is very small. It advertises white, sandy beaches, but does not mention the seaweed that is all along the coastline. I feel it is important for travelers to know that the magic is in the excursions to the little islands like Laughing Bird Caye. There are many good restaurants, but food variety is limited due to the remote location. There is an ice cream shop that is exceptional! It is fun and relaxing to stay in Placencia.

We like the beach and the local food like the Johnny cakes and fry jacks . When we were there it was very quiet just perfect for relaxation One thing there isn’t snorkelling right from the beach you have to take a tour and if so do shop around

It’s a hidden gem with huge potential. Placencia affordable and beautiful place with amazing welcoming local community and businesses. All locals we met was friendly, very happy people . You can find cool local bars , great restaurants and amazing gift shops like Orange gallery where I purchased my hand crafted gifts by local artists.

People are wonderful. Restaurants are fabulous cute little beach bars, always having entertainment and specials, I’ve never met more friendlier people, the sidewalk with all the little shops was a lot of fun, and you get to know the people along the way, a word of advice check beach conditions before travelling as it was, horrible, full of garbage and trash, from the ocean it just had not been cleaned up yet, and there was so much of it, it’s not always like that they had quite a few storms, but still ?

We stayed at Itz'Ana on Placencia about 15 minutes north of the village. Itz'Ana was a beautiful place, with gorgeous infinity pool overlooking very nice beach. Our room opened onto the pool deck with a good sized patio with a comfortable daybed outside. Plenty of shade, great breezes. The staff was great. Placencia Village itself has some good restaurants and good grocery stores for provisioning but not much else. Taxi service was good and prices good, but best to ask in advance, "How much will it be to take two people to Rick's restaurant". You'll get a straight answer. A lot of people rented golf carts to get around, and that might have been nice--but none available at our resort.

Good places to buy groceries and to eat. Limited bus and boat service could leave you stranded. great ice cream shop. Stay for a couple of days and then head to Hopkins for a superior beach experience..went snorkelling on the Marine reserve and was disappointed as there weren't many fish to see.
