Get ready for what laid-back really means!... including service!
In a nutshell
I'd go back in a minute. Lovely and wonderful food, people and snorkeling.
thimbee Says: We booked a daytrip Mayan ruins/caving combo. The adventure started with a boat ride across the lagoon, where Aahsum has a van parked. Our tour guide was a young man named John (I wish I could tell every Placencial tourist about him, because without him our adventure would...
casie333 Says: By far the most fun I've ever had on any vacation (and I've been on a ton!) was on Doyle Gardiner's tour of the Cockscomb Basin Wildlife Preserve. It includes a jungle hike chock full of all kinds of fascinating facts and surprises, a great lunch, tubing down the river,...
10 Reviews We found the Purple Space Monkey to be very satisfying. We ate there for breakfast and enjoyed scrambled eggs, bacon, french toast, fry jacks, and orange juice, which all tasted great. We also used their WiFi and it was fast and reliable. We enjoyed live music while eating there for dinner. The...
5 Reviews Would of liked to try another meal, but the breakfast was great. I loved my breakfast burrito, one of the best while I was in Belize. The Stuffed Jack is the way to go...it's a Belizean special. Almost liked a fried breakfast burrito.
3 Reviews Italian Gelato Ice Cream at the Tuttifrutti Italian Ice Cream Parlor! Tiziana De Col, Laurent Testa, and Alessandro Missinato originally came to Placencia on vacation. They decided to come back and start a business. Tiziana and Laurent operated an ice cream parlor back in Rome, Italy. They combine...
3 Reviews Everything about Wendy's is great; centrally located, great service, decent prices. Open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Had a gigantic AMAZING chicken burrito and the daily special of pork and rice and beans. All were phenomenal!
2 Reviews Cozy Corner is right on the beach and has been around for many years. It's a great place to spend the afternoon on the beach right outside with a steady stream of belikan's and munchies. I like the Fried Chicken and tend to always order it. It comes in full and half orders - the full order is huge...
1 Review One girl ran the place the night we were there. Because the day shift hadn't restocked, they were out of almost everything (including beer, pineapple juice, soft drinks, and ice cream), So we had to order what could be made. But that was OK - we eventually got some food. Everything else was closed....
2 Reviews Dining is above the gift shop which gives a good view out to the cabanas and the beach. Service is excellent, and the meal was the best I had while in Belize. Bob had grilled snapper fillet coated in fresh papaya and spicy jerk seasoning, and I had seafood lasagna and both were excellent. Saw some...
Tipsy Tuna: Barefoot Beach Bar
ally923 Says: Barefoot Beach Bar is a fun place. It reminds me of like a senior frogs type place you'd see in Mexico, but more laid back. The drinks are really well priced too. $5 Blz for yummy rum drinks. Casual. I was wearing a simple summer dress the first night and felt over dressed.
Barefoot Beach Bar: Beachside Bar/Resturant
Spacemanspiff Says: Great beachside spot for a cold drink and some food. This was our hangout for the three days in Placentia. We arrived saturday afternoon for the 3 o'clock weekly horseshoe tournament. They have nice big beachchairs to enjoy your drink under the palmtrees and enjoy the...
YolandaC Says: The main mode into Placencia Village from Belize City is by plane. Two companies make regular daily flights into Placencia, some with a stop-over in Dangriga some straight through. Maya Tropic Air is reliable an easy. Once through customs look for the ticket counter directly...
paradisedreamer Says: The buses can get very crowded so its best to get the earliest bus or get to the bus station instead of catching it along the road, you can flag down the bus anywhere on the main Placencia road). There are only two buses which leave very early in the morning (5am and 6am)
kuklub Says: There are a few souvenir shops in Placencia selling mostly Guatemalan crafts. They are OK. Next to Purple Space Monkey was a pottery shop which had some nice bowls and objects from Mexico and Nicaragua. There is very little in the way of "local" crafts.Shopping for food was...
BergsFinest Says: Be prepared, you will be eaten alive, especially around the lagoon, Jaguar Reserve, and most definitely Monkey RIver. I suggest a repellent with the highest deet amount possible. We used 5% and 7.15%, from Off, and it may have even attracted more mosquitoes. We borrowed some...
Cat Burglars in and around Placencia
kuklub Says: On March 26, 2006 a gang of burglars invaded the Turtle Inn and Saks during the middle of the night and entered some of the cabanas while the guests were asleep. They entered through the windows. Some items were apparently stolen. According to local residents, this has...
ShellyLe Says: Sandals and shorts- you will live in them. Don't bring tshirts, buy them there! There is a new gift shop called Sea Shells-something on the sidewalk that has tons of great tshirts.Forget shoes unless you need to climb a mountain or visit a cave or ruin. (Then get ones with...
2 Reviews Brian Young is a local Belizian who had a very respected dive shop with local dive masters. The other dive shop which was run by New Yorkers and they were not appreciated by the local populace. They also offer snorkeling, Mayan ruin, river tours, fishing etc. Whale shark tours are also one of...
Paul2001 Says: The beach in Placencia is considered by many to be the best in Belize. I will not argue with this because I know that I saw few good beaches in the country and this one was by far superior to them. The beach stretchs for a couple kilometers along the Carribean and is open to...
The Narrowest Street in the World?
Paul2001 Says: Much hallaballoo is made of the fact that the Guiness Book of Records used to claim that "the Sidewalk" is he narrowiest street in the world. It is in fact a sidewalk, not a street made for cars. It the side walk runs parrelel to the beach and is flanked buy guesthouses,...

Paul2001 5 nights in Placencia
I visited Placencia for primarily one purpose, to rest before I returned to the harsh Canadian winter. Placencia has the best beach in Belize. Not only that there is great snorkeling and diving...
