Resort Description

The Placencia is a 4* resort between a tranquil lagoon and the Caribbean Sea.

Poking out from the mainland, Placencia is a charming, low-key fishing village, bordered on one side by a mangrove-lined lagoon and on the other by the Caribbean Sea. Spend your days exploring the second largest barrier reef in the world - the Meso American Barrier Reef - or kick back with an ice cold beer on the private beach or in your comfortable air-conditioned room. 

The hotel has 4 restaurants, one of which is on the beach itself. Another is by the infinty pool which has a thatched roof swim-up bar. All rooms come with WiFi, flat-screen TVs, minibars and coffeemakers, and can be upgraded with separate living areas, sea view balconies and whirlpool tubs. Pick ups to the nearby 5* PADI dive center are free, where you'll experience mild drift dives along multicolored walls just minutes from the shore.
