Lovely house in Placencia
We enjoyed our stay overall in this private home in Placencia. It is by the water, has nice views of the lagoon and good wifi (important for us), good AC, decent beds, large smart TV, and a small pool. The only reason I didn't rate 5 stars was that despite a full kitchen it was not so well supplied - there were only 2 pans and a cookie sheet for using the stove; no serving dishes or larger bowls. We're a family of 5 adults and cooking for ourselves was challenging. Please add - large frying pan with lid, 6 qt pot with lid, baking dish, salad bowl, plastic cups for using by pool. We managed, but it was a little disappointing. We considered buying pans but the stores in Placencia have limited supply. The other issue is the gecko droppings, a fact of life here no doubt, but they visited the upstairs bathroom every night, and it was disconcerting to find all over the sink area every morning without fail. The rest of the house was not an issue. The no-see-ums are also quite fierce here, though plenty of bug repellent was provided. Our property manager was very communicative, and we liked both the tours arranged - snorkeling & lunch with Akeem, and cave tubing & Zip-lining & Xunantunich temple with Robin and would recommend them.
