    The property was beautiful. We had the two bedroom, 2 bath upstairs unit called the hacienda. It was so spacious, large bedrooms with equally large bathrooms. The kitchen was large and well equipped. The living room was a good size, and the couch was large and comfortable. We received the continental breakfast each morning, which was free of cost. The food was well made, delicious and presented well. Our rooms were clean and our spacious patio had a hammock, 2 deck lounges and a high-top bar with 4 barstools. Once again, everything and everywhere was clean! Our patio overlooked to pool and bar below. The staff was SUPER nice and VERY helpful! Everyone made our stay super enjoyable and we were sad to leave. We will definitely be returning next year and booking the hacienda again!!

    NOTHING!

    The property is located right on “sidewalk” so it was close to many restaurants and beach bars. We didn’t even have to have a golf cart to get around. We loved the ambiance of the entire place. It was very quiet and relaxing. The pool snd swim up bar were an added bonus to the beach area.

    The complex was cozy and inviting while keeping guests secluded and private from the business going on outside of the property.

    The bed was quite hard.

    Lovely attitude! from the staff Nice place, Clean.

    I have booked Villa with Sea View and received Villa with vies of the bar. ;) The Villa had only doors, no windows. There was no control on external access to the rooms - I felt not quite secured.

    Property response:

    Hello Galya, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback and for highlighting our team’s welcoming attitude and the cleanliness of our property; we’re so glad these aspects of your stay stood out! We’re truly sorry to hear your villa’s view did not meet your expectations. Our nine villas are uniquely designed, each offering distinct layouts and views to embrace our tropical setting. While we strive to match guests with their preferred villa based on availability, we acknowledge that descriptions like “sea view and beach view” can sometimes lead to varied interpretations. To ensure clarity, we always encourage guests to reach out to us before booking, as we’d be delighted to provide detailed photos of specific villas to align expectations. Regarding your security concerns, we want to reassure you that guest safety is our priority. Our property is exclusive to registered guests, with 24 hours security monitoring all access points. While our villas feature open-air designs with doors to maximize the coastal breeze and connection to nature, we understand how this might feel different for solo travelers. We’d love the opportunity to welcome you back and personally curate a villa that aligns perfectly with your vision of a serene getaway. With warm regards, Pam

    The staff were great and the fact that there were kayaks and paddle boards available was nice; however, the sargassum was terrible making it impossible to comfortably swim or play in the water at the facility (our main reason for selecting a beach side property).

    Sargassum and not knowing in advance how bad it was.

    Property response:

    Hi William, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, and for highlighting our team’s hospitality and the amenities you enjoyed, like the kayaks and paddleboards. We’re truly glad those aspects of your stay resonated with you. We completely understand your frustration with the sargassum, and we’re so sorry it impacted your beach experience. As a Caribbean coastal destination, seasonal sargassum is an unpredictable challenge as its presence can vary daily due to tides and weather, making it difficult to predict in advance. That said, our team works tirelessly to clear it from the beach each morning, and we’re continually exploring new ways to mitigate its impact. Your feedback is invaluable, and we’ll use it to improve how we communicate about sargassum leading up to arrival. We’d love the chance to welcome you back during a sargassum-lighter season (October - March), where you can fully enjoy our beautiful beach and waters. Please reach out to us personally when you’re ready—we’ll ensure your next stay is even more memorable. With kind regards, Pam

    Staff was excellent, friendly, and accommodating. Food and beverage was excellent and great way to start and end the day. We stayed at the beginning and end of a sailing trip and wish both says had been longer. The property being able to book our flights (we pay at ticket counter) to and from Placencia, providing all of the specific details on flying with the small airlines, and picking up/dropping us off at the landing strip and marina made things very smooth sailing and stress free. Will stay again when in Placencia

    Nothing.

    Property response:

    Hi Brett! Thank you for your glowing review; we’re absolutely thrilled you enjoyed your stays with us at the start and end of your family sailing adventure, it was our pleasure to be your home away from home on both ends of your journey. Our team takes immense pride in providing warm, personalized service, and we’re delighted you felt so well taken care of. From the moment we helped coordinate your flights to whisking you to/from the marina and airstrip, we wanted every detail to feel effortless. And we’re over the moon that our meals and drinks fueled your days with a taste of Belizean flavor; nothing beats starting or ending a day with a seaside bite and a tropical breeze! Until your next Placencia visit, keep chasing horizons. We’ll be here, ready to welcome you back with open arms and a perfectly chilled drink. With kindest regards, Pam

    Loved the centralized location. Pam, from the office, was very accommodating to our requests. Cornelio and Senda from the bar were both very kind, friendly, and engaging. Our room had snacks available and there was a carafe of drinking water in the refrigerator. The beach lounges on the beach were comfortable and situated under Palm trees that provided plenty of shade. The biggest selling point is that this is an adults only hotel.

    I wish the bathroom had counter space; however, the kitchenette had a spacious countertop that we were able to use during our stay.

    Property response:

    Hi Denise, Wow! Thank you for your glowing review and for highlighting so many of the details we pour our hearts into! We’re absolutely thrilled you loved our central location, the shade of those palm-lined beach loungers, and the adults-only serenity that makes CBC so special. Cornelio, Senda, and I are over the moon knowing we helped make your stay memorable. From preparing your favorite drinks to ensuring your room felt like a home (snacks and chilled water included!), it was a joy to host you. We truly appreciate your thoughtful note about the bathroom counter space, we’re always looking for ways to refine our cabanas, and your feedback is invaluable. Most of all, we’re honored you’d choose us again for your next Placencia escape! When you return, just say the word, and we’ll reserve your favorite spot under the palms, and maybe even surprise you with a little extra countertop magic. Warmest wishes from your CBC family, Pam

    This place was absolutely fantastic in every way! As you enter the cabanas you immediately enter a mini paradise with thatched roofs, a clean pool, adorable pool bar, kayaks, bikes, paddle boards, and individual cabanas. The beach is wonderfully clean and quiet with loungers and hammocks. They rake daily and do treat the sand so no pesky sand fleas on our visit. But what was even better was all the little things! They provided umbrellas, bug spray, sunscreen and lotion all stationed in their outdoor lobby. They provided beach towels replenished daily. Just when you think that is all fantastic, it gets better. The staff!! I cannot say enough about the staff! The manager, Pam, took our 10/10 to a 20/10. She was absolutely lovely. She helped with everything from setting up excursions to making dinner reservations. She always had a beautiful smile and a wonderful sense of humor. She was always sure to make our experience even better than it already was. By time we left, she was like family! And her staff always had a smile! From Senda to Emir to Michelle-absolutely precious. This staff went out of their way to make your stay magical. They provided everything from drinks to breakfast to clean rooms. We even enjoyed a great Mojito mixer with yummy drinks and appetizers with our fellow guests. Our room, Villa Playa, was comfortable and included a king size bed, plenty of pillows, a dresser, chair, tv, nightstands, a microwave, coffee maker, coffee, and a fridge. The bathroom vanity was somewhat small, but it does have a cabinet and shelf below to store your items. They provided bathrobes and daily towels. The shower was roomy and best of all, nice, hot water! My only suggestion here would be to provide bathrobes and daily slippers as the floors are tile and can get sandy. The cabanas are pretty much at the end of the sidewalk and in my opinion, a perfect location.

    There wasn’t anything I didn’t like about this place. I’d absolutely stay here again and again.

    We had an amazing experience. All of the staff were personable & worked hard to make our stay memorable. The front staff were so friendly, even after working late multiple days. They even made us Johnny cakes because we mentioned we wanted to try them. The bar tenders were kind & personable. The kitchen & house keeping were always smiling & nothing was too much for them. The beach is clean, the rooms are exactly what you see in the photos (clean, quaint). It will be hard to ever stay in a hotel or condo after staying here. We felt so safe & had a sidewalk away from the street that lead us to all the restaurants (all within walking distance). If you get a chance, book a boat charter with Clearwater charters. Matthew & Priscilla create an amazing day fishing, snorkeling & catching lobster for a personal beach picnic. It was more than we could’ve ever asked for.

    We loved our stay, where we stayed for 10 days, so longer than the average. - First of all, the location was perfect because it was central but not right in the middle of all the bars and restaurants you could go access all restaurants and bars by walk. Plus, you're right in front of the beach, you step out of your room and your feet are in the water. - The hotel staff was great: Senda at the bar is an absolute sweetheart, and the whole kitchen and housekeeping team are so kind and always ready to help. The security team is also super nice - The food and cocktails are delicious. - The hotel's setting is very pleasant.

    3 feedbacks: The hotel staff cleans the beach and the gardrner is super nice. But the plastic that comes from the oceans is a real problem in Belize. Sometimes my husband and I were surprised to see bits of plastic and paper in the sand at the hotel, on the path leading to the bar. Even the guests don’t bother to pick it up. The environment is everyone's responsibility, especially us tourists. If I can provide some feedback, it would be to thoroughly clean up all the small plastic pieces within the hotel and perhaps put up a sign for guests to encourage everyone to be mindful of waste and properly dispose of it in the bins. Second feedback: the room equipment : we also chose this hotel because we saw it had a kitchenette with utensils, which would allow us to cook some evenings during our 10-day stay. However, we were missing at least a cutting board (to chop vegetables) and a good knife. We asked Senda several times, and she kindly lent them to us without any issue! But in general, the kitchen setup is a bit limited for cooking." We booked a sea view room but the room does not has a sea view at all. You should change the description on Booking because it can be frustrating.

    The location was perfect, right on the beach, not at the center of the village, but close enough for a short walk.

    Local restaurants with the very affordable meals seemed to close at 2:00 PM, meaning that for dinner you had to eat at the tourist focused, higher priced restaurants in the area.

    Staff was wonderful and very helpful! They were outgoing and warm. It's a small-ish propery with 7 or 8 cabanas and it feel really welcoming and friendly. It's a compact property however the location (right on the main sidewalk yet away from the noise) was perfect. The beach area was clean and inviting. The pool/bar area was relaxing as well. The breakfast (included) was substantial and it was nice to have other breakfast choices available for room service in the mornings as well. The robes were a nice touch. And the bikes were wonderful for exploring.

    The only thing is that I was in the first casita where everyone walked by to get to their cabana. For privacy though, it was easy to pull down the shades.

    The location is perfect for exploring Placencia Village, walk along the sidewalk or take one of the bikes and ride into town. The staff at the property were fantastic! They made arrangements for our local flight from Belize City. They picked us up and returned us to the local airport. Awesome little bar by the pool. The restaurant on the property served a very good breakfast and lunch.

    Love Pam!! Highly knowledgeable, personal and provided excellent local advice with a radiant smile. Pam was incredibly helpful especially after I unfortunately became ill. I miss her already after being home only 2 days. The property is beautiful with lush landscape. EVERY staff member is incredibly kind and helpful. All work so hard and will go out of their way to ensure your needs are met. Loved the shower outside of our cabana! Every cabana has one! All cabana patio’s are incredible. The bar is exceptional and love their fresh squeezed juices. The chef is fantastic! Homemade breads daily and delicious specials. Breakfast is a must! All menu items are delicious! The Belizean chicken stew special was phenomenal. The food was so good, we chose to eat here daily (ten days total).

    Unfortunately, trash sometimes washes up onto the beach. It’s not a massive amount, but it saddens me to see how people around the world are unaware of pollution in our oceans. They work very hard to keep their beachfront clean and honestly their beach front is well kept. Initially, I was bothered that there was not a place to hang my nice clothing. I adjusted quickly and made a make-shift closet (hung my clothes over my suitcase) lol! Honestly, it really didn’t seem like it mattered after I realized I over-packed. Highly recommend not over-packing. This is such a friendly beach town! You could wear the same thing daily and no one cares :-).
