Children in the pool is not so much the resort’s problem. Rather it is the parents that are elsewhere drinking and ignoring the children. Enforce adult supervision or no kids in the pool.

Everything was great. Shellyjay met me upon arrival, knew my name and escorted me to my room. She gave a great introduction and overview of the property and surrounding area, including groceries, dining and bars. Great relaxing getaway. I'll be back!

Verified traveller

We spent all our time in Belize in the Placencia area and were not disappointed as it is very beautiful and there is plenty to do. Placencia Village itself is a sweet laid back small town with plenty of cafes and an artsy vibe.
