Maya Beach Hotel

Maya Beach Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"We absolutely loved our stay at Maya Beach Hotel! The hotel is beautiful, peaceful, and was the perfect place to relax during our time in Placencia. One of the highlights of our stay was definitely the restaurant. The menu had a great variety of interesting and delicious dishes, and the food was excellent. In our opinion, it was one of the best restaurants we experienced in the Placencia area. We enjoyed it so much that dining there became part of the experience of staying at the hotel. The beach was also beautiful and very enjoyable during most of our stay. Unfortunately, on our last day, a large amount of sargassum washed ashore, but of course, this is something natural and beyond the hotel’s control. Overall, we had a wonderful experience and really enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere, the beach, and especially the amazing food. We would definitely recommend Maya Beach Hotel and would happily stay here again!"

"Arrived late after communicating with the desk staff that I may arrive after the cutoff. Was able to get to my room and get some food before the resturant closed. The roof bar had a nice view and the pools and beach were well maintained except for a large hole in the surface area of one of the wadding areas. The people were friendly and accommodating and the area was nice. All said a good experience."
