The highlight of this property is the staff. Very friendly and helpful at all times. The property is going through an extensive property improvement renovation to become a Hyatt and the rooms although clean, were worn and dated. Guests should be aware that if they are expecting rooms to look like how they are presented on the Hyatt website, they will be disappointed. There is currently only one F&B option. The food is decent and the service was excellent. There is no gift shop or any other retail services on property at the moment. The property is in a quiet location with very nice, clean beachfront. It is one of the further properties from the village center. If you rent a golf cart, please be careful to get one with ample power or it will take over 45 minutes to get to the village. There is a resort shuttle but be mindful a lot of guests are using it and it can take time for drop offs/pick ups. Once the improvements are completed, I can see this property be a solid 4-5 star property.

Truly stellar pool with three areas of different depths. This allowed children to play more freely while parents enjoyed the pool. Only complaint was limited food options with highly variable quality. Note this area of Placencia has lots of sea grass and sargassum that washes up on the beaches daily. So depending on your level of comfort swimming in and around it, you may not be able to use the ocean. When it decays it smells heavily of sulfur.

When we checked in, we were asked to pay a 40 US resort fee that we were not aware of when I booked so that was a sudden surprise. The prices at the restaurant were quite high. The beds were not the greatest. They were on wheels so they moved a lot.. but the pool was amazing. The water was warm. The staff was friendly and kind not usually the kind of place I stay, but I would go back for the pool.

The physical resort was phenomenal. The two reasons I did not give it a five star were 1) that the water pressure in the showers were so low. I never felt clean and could not wash my hair properly, and 2) the hotel restaurant was more expensive than the local restaurants. The days we didn't prepare food in our kitchen, we had to leave the resort. If the prices had been comparable, we would have eaten at the resort more often. The food was delicious, just astronomically expensive. Everything else about the resort was amazing and the staff were so incredibly nice.

The best of both worlds! This property is stunning, and it really offered the best of both worlds. We were able to experience resort-style amenities and service, while enjoying the space of an AirBnB. Our suite was huge and gave us ample room to enjoy ourselves. It was nice to be able to cook some meals in the suite, although they could definitely stand to upgrade their kitchenware. The pool is huge, and we really enjoyed the swim-up bar. The restaurant sits right on the water, and we were really impressed with the food there. The service is top-notch from the bar to the housekeeping staff. *A note about the location: Placencia is a lot bigger than I realized. This property is in an area that is mostly just resorts and a handful of restaurants. A little further South is Maya Beach, which is quite nice. If you want to actually visit Placencia Village, it's a good 20-30 minute drive. So this is the perfect location for a relaxing, peaceful getaway. But if you want to be in the heart of Placencia, go further South.

I enjoyed my stay at the placencia... there was some confusion on my part since the hotel changed management. My partner problem is the issue with the hot water. We expected it to come on after a while however it did not. I like that there is a security guard and when we come in late from tours but they double checked that we live at the resort. I love the pier and the staff were friendly answering all our questions. Thank you for a great stay.

The property is beautiful and the staff was very accommodating but it did not engulf the Belizean culture as I expected it would. The menu did not incorporate the traditional culture or have more than one Belizean option. Most of it was American food. There should be more of the culture and more things to do on the resort outside of the pool/dining. I wish there was more activities at the resort instead of trying to entertain myself most of the time. It was relaxing but I’d like to have fun on vacation too and creating that fun in an unknown area is difficult. I wish there were more food options for me to get to know the areas best things about it. More activities like a food tour provided by the resort like yoga just a celebration of the culture and that was not it.

Misrepresented Temu Hyatt

Placenta Resort was advertised as a Hyatt hotel but this definitely was not it. We entered the resort and saw that a massive construction renovation project was being undertaken, which resulted in a lot of noise both during the day and at night. The wi fi was very poor and not secure which we had to keep asking staff to fix. They said that someone would fix it, but no one ever did. The rooms were clean and well kept, and staff was nice and helpful, but management was poorly run. The hotel was misrepresented as a Hyatt yet basic amenities such as the shower, WiFi, and “complimentary shuttle” and “laundry” cost an arm and a leg. The shuttle cost $150, and the hotel was $20 a load. We will not be coming back and hope we can get a partial refund.

If you are looking for a beautiful, private, quiet beach get away this is the place. The staff was very nice and friendly— truly they were a gem. Stayed during the week and it felt like we had the resort to ourselves, the pool and beach just steps away from our room. The cons: the resort is a bit dated, the food is good but a very limited menu and dinner is overpriced for what you get. The resort is far north of the village so you can’t walk anywhere (too hot), we got taxis to eat at other resorts nearby (~2 miles away) just to get some variety. The shuttle service didn’t really work for us but taxis were easy enough, just schedule your pick-up in advance before you leave.

I have been coming here for several years and it is a great property that is very poorly managed at the top levels. Things have broken and not replaced. The rooms are tired and needing upgrades. I know they are slowly working on making thing better, but talk is cheap. The restaurant on the pier is new, but way over priced for Belize. The people who work at the resort are fabulous. Friendly and eager to help with anything. It is the management that is bad. From the owner down. I would not recommend staying here until all renovations are done. Only then will I come back.

Lovely, and missing a few things

We truly enjoyed our week at the Placencia resort. The 3 bedroom suite was just right for our multi-generational family trip, the pool was fabulous fun, and the Pier restaurant is peaceful, beautiful, and serves delicious food. I was disappointed to discover that, for what-ever reason, many of the promised amenities that had us choose this resort were not available during our time there: For example, there is only 1 restaurant, there is little that's child friendly asidefrom the pool; the pool and the children's pool are the same thing, meaning our 5 yo had to swim around loud mouthed drunks in the afternoon, if there were laundry facilities we never found them, and the only water sport equipment was available. Its clear the resort is being updated, but the work motto seems to be "it looks okay if you don't get too close." Lovely, bright rooms and ancient lumpy futons to sit on; nicely tiled bathroom and grubby stained bathtub. Etc. I would recommend the Placencia, and I would go back there. I justthink people should be fore-warned that the marketing exceeds the reality.
