We had a magical stay at Swan Villas. This unique property provided us with the experience we were lookign for in Belize. The property was clean, quiet, and Miriam was very responsive and super helpful! One of our favorite places to hang was the salt water pool; quite lovey with a nice view of the lagoon. If you're looking for a comforable and unique place to stay, Swan Villas is the place. ##### Kevin B.

It was spacious. The rainforest shower was gorgeous. It had everything one could possibly need for a 6 night stay. We had a golf cart so we were able to explore the area all the way down to Placencia pier district. It was nice to vome home to a private pool and relax and watch the sun set over the lagoon. The balcony was relaxing and i even got some photos of the full moon. Highly recommend and would stay again. ##### Julie R.

Would of liked television upstairs but overall very good. Location is away from town and was nice and quiet. Our concierge Vero and her team were amazing in helping us plan excursions with the best value as well as give advice for the trip overall. We appreciate her help, wealth of knowledge and availability at short notices as well. ##### Hannah H.

Stairs too narrow and slippery. Bathroom downstairs no sink to wash hands. Gecko's in bathroom, bedroom, in the plant containers. Staff was nice and helpful. ##### Gabrielle C. Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Megan Y., Anchorage, AK 16 Feb 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Fantastic! Fantastic stay! We were in the dolphin house for 3 nights. Everything was excellent. The home is funky yet functional and very spacious. The spaces were open, but well defined. The hot tub was so welcome, especially since it was a little cooler when we arrived. I would recommend starting it 2-4 hours before you want to use it, but it will get nice and toasty. We enjoyed watching bollywood soaps while soaking since the tv is in view of the tub. The round bed was very comfortable (for two average sized adults), which was a relief since i’d never slept on a round bed before. The outside space was beautiful as well. Very quiet despite being close to the highway. There are bikes for rent, which is nice since it’s a bit outside of the town proper. The cabs are also plentiful and convenient. We would love to stay here again in the future! ##### Megan Y.

This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Abigail G. 9 Aug 2021 #### Exceptional This place was exceptional. We stayed in the Dolphin and it was one of the best places we have been to so far. The layout of the room along with the hot tub was perfect. Only thing I would recommend is for there to be blackout curtains that covers the whole window because when the sun rises, it gets too bright in the room. Other than that, I loved this place. Not to forget, the pool was awesome! ##### Abigail G. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Manuel C. 22 May 2021 #### Best hotel ever! This room is 10/10 beautiful and cozy. The pool could be deeper but for just relaxing it's perfect. The only issue in the room are the stones on the shower very hard to stand on to take a proper shower, maybe replacing them with one whole stone would be better? Aside from that the hot tub and room were outstanding. Will stay here again! ##### Manuel C. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Natalia C. 28 Apr 2021 #### Increible lugar Disfrutamos mucho nuestra estad\[ia en Dolphin Swan Vilas, las casitas son una maravilla con mucho estilo, no dan ganas de ir al pueblo sino disfrutar de la casa y la pileta. Est\[a un poco alejado de Placencia y supermercados, por lo que ir en auto es lo ideal. Nosotros no estabamos en auto, al super fuimos en las bicis del hotel y para ir a Placencia usamos bus (no pasan muy seguido) o un taxi $20 americanos. Todo el resto espectacular, tambien la ayuda de nuestra concierge Vero, que nos respondio y ayudo en cada consulta, antes y durante la estadia. Muchas gracias!!! ##### Natalia C. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Boutique 50](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Glasgow-Hotels-Boutique-50.h74257970.Hotel-Information) > > [Park Grand Mayfair](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Park-Grand-Marble-Arch.h4212191.Hotel-Information) > > [37GS Residences](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Luxury-2-Bedroom-Golden-Square.h45693927.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels with Pool in Torquay](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Torquay-Hotels-Hotels-With-Pool.0-0-d5453-tHotelswithPool.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Cardiff](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cardiff-Hotels.d6054272.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Caravan Parks Brighton](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Brighton-Caravan-Parks.d6046944-aaCaravanParks.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Hotels in Clayton le Moors](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Clayton-Le-Moors-Hotels.d179928.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Sandybanks - Stylish Apartment](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Torquay-Hotels-Sandybanks-Stylish-Apartment.h34567001.Hotel-Information) > > [Sunprime C-Lounge Hotel - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Alanya-Hotels-Sunprime-C-Lounge-Hotel-Adults-Only.h12716191.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Portsmouth](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Portsmouth-Hotels.d553248634335196573.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Motel One Berlin - Alexanderplatz](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Berlin-Hotels-Motel-One-Berlin-Alexanderplatz.h19635160.Hotel-Information) > > [5 Star Hotels in Deshaies](https://www.expedia.co.uk/5Star-Deshaies-Hotels.s50-0-d181075.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels with Connecting Rooms in Liverpool](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Liverpool-Hotels-Hotel-With-Connecting-Rooms.0-0-d6046241-thotelwithconnectingrooms.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Best Western Plus Pastures Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Doncaster-Hotels-Best-Western-Plus-Pastures-Hotel.h2142965.Hotel-Information) > > [Spa Hotels in Aarhus](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Aarhus-Hotels-Spa-Hotels.0-0-d259-tSpaHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Forest Pines Spa & Golf Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Brigg-Hotels-Forest-Pines-Spa-Golf-Resort.h461512.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [flights from rajkot airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/airports/raj/flights-from-rajkot-airport) > > [Flights from Malacca City (MKZ) to George Town (PEN)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/mkz/pen/malacca-intl-airport-to-penang) > > [Ryanair Birmingham (BHX) to Málaga (AGP) flights](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flight-routes/ryanair-from-birmingham-to-malaga/fr/bhx/agp) ### Cars > [Convertible Car Hire in Florence](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Convertible-Car-Rentals-In-Florence.d1222-tConvertible.Car-Rental-Guide-Class) > > [Car hire in Guernsey](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Destinations-In-Guernsey.d1290.Car-Hire-Destinations) ### Activities > [Things to do in Weggis](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Things-To-Do-In-Weggis.d6023928.Travel-Guide-Activities) ### Packages > [Sanibel Captiva Island Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sanibel-Captiva-Island.d6326115.Holidays-City-Breaks) > > [Old Bushmills Distillery](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Old-Bushmills-Distillery-Bushmills.d6086621.Attraction) > > [Baby Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Baby.d3000271531.Holidays-City-Breaks) > > [Chester City Walls](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chester-City-Walls-Chester.d6087877.Attraction) > > [Paisley Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Paisley-Park-Minneapolis-St-Paul.d553248625940029753.Attraction) ### General > [Visit City Centre Glasgow](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Glasgow-City-Centre-Glasgow.dx6129620)
