Search Houseboats in Cockscomb Basin Wildlife Sanctuary

"Our villa was clean upon arrival, the staff was very friendly and welcoming. They made our stay so seamless. Highly recommend! "

"The rooms and beds were wonderful and clean. The pizza place was good. We ordered one meal from the lobby bar and that wasn't the best. The staff was very helpful and friendly. We didn't realize how far the property was from shopping areas or more active places. This is a place for peace, quiet and limited food options. We took a trip to the grocery store and made breakfast everyday which we enjoyed. We were also unable to swim in the Ocean due to so much algae. I was unable to find any good fish options in this particular area."

"Stayed here via Hotels.com expecting a private villa, but on arrival it turned out to be a shared villa setup, which was not how it was advertised. That alone was a dealbreaker for us as it changed the whole experience (privacy and comfort). On top of that, other guests were doing loud karaoke late into the evening and we could not sleep. We raised it, but it wasn’t properly managed. After leaving, communication was slow and unclear. It took around a month of chasing to reach any resolution and we were only partially refunded in the end. I would not recommend. If you book, get written confirmation that the accommodation is fully private (not shared) and ask about noise rules/enforcement before you pay."

"The staff was amazing! Perfect view. The only negative is the sargassum. On some days it smelled really bad."

"Our beach front room was amazing. Just as pictures described. Everyone was so friendly. Will book again. "

"We had a cute ocean front cabana just 50 feet or so from the water. There were always empty lounge chairs and hammocks available to use. Restaurants with great food and sometimes entertainment were just a short walk by road or right along the beach. The hostess Arlene was very friendly and helpful. I highly recommend staying here for a relaxing time and opportunity to experience the local Garifuna culture."

"Beautiful location and very comfortable and pretty rooms."

"The bar next door is no small one. The music is loud and really energizing until midnight and no earlier whichever night. We had the cabin the closest and didn’t bother trying to sleep before midnight. The cabin is really nice, perfect with AC and the size was nice for two people. We cooked a lot and there were not a lot of ustensiles but we managed. The patio with the view and hammock was our highlight."

"Me and my wife had a great experience at the Belizean Nirvana. The apartment had everything that you could ask for or need. The staff were attentive to all or our needs. The grounds were well kept with scenic views of the ocean. Would definitely return and refer family and friends that travel to Placencia."
