10 Top-Rated Hotels in Placencia, Stann Creek

August 11, 2022 Kaleigh Reichenbach

For those who enjoy outdoor adventure, the Stann Creek region offers a host of activities: hiking through mountainous rain forests, kayaking, deep sea fishing, diving and exploring Mayan ruins. The peninsula boasts 16 miles of tranquil beaches, with a lagoon to the west and the Caribbean to the east and lots of peace and quiet in the middle.

Little Piece of Paradise

Our stay at PUR Caribbean Cabanas was perfect! We stayed in the Casita cabana and it was absolutely adorable! It was so nice to have our own little kitchen to cook things if we wanted. The facilities were amazing, quaint, cozy and quite! Staff was friendly, helpful and attentive. The beach was beautiful, one day I literally had it all to myself, took turns in all the hammocks to see which was the best! Conveniently located within walking distance of so much, restaurants, shops, grocery and tours/excursions. So peaceful and relaxing, I did not want to leave and can’t wait to go back!

Absolutely Terrific Place!

Reviewed By kate20222022

We stayed for a few days and had a terrific time. The grounds are very nice and the new cabins were very comfortable. Whoever decided to include bunk beds was inspired and allowed us to avoid the inevitable squabbles among our children when they have to share a bed. The food was very good and had a varied selection. The pool was beautiful and the walk to the beach took about 30 seconds. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive. I would highly recommend this place.

Turtle Inn

Luxury and unspoiled beauty on the Caribbean Sea. Turtle Inn is a true labor of love. Less than a year after Francis and Eleanor Coppola acquired this beachside refuge in 2001, it was swept out to sea by the forces of Hurricane Iris. Turning disaster into triumph, the Coppola's led a two-year reclamation project, creating a magnificent resort that is consistently ranked among the best in Central and South America.This 28-room seafront hideaway combines natural wonders with luxury style. Accommodations are in individual thatched cottages, decorated with handcrafted Balinese furnishings and naturally cooled by the ever-present sea breezes. Just steps beyond your private deck, the beach dissolves into the Caribbean Sea. In addition, the resort has two infinity swimming pools, a spa, dive shop and three restaurants.

Amazing ?

Gorgeous rooms and property! May 2022 Turtle inn exceeded our expectations! The staff knew us by name and took care of our every need. Samuel at the garden Jimmy at the bar and Jose at the frondesk were just amazing! We stayed in a 1 bedroom with a beautiful outdoor shower that was amazing! Showering al fresco was the best! The food at the restaurant was over the top. I'm still dreaming about the delicious urugula pizza! We also enjoyed swimming in the pool. We can't wait to come back to Turtle inn!

Our stay at Chabil Mar exceeded our expectations!

Reviewed By sandyrD3715AA

We enjoyed a family vacation for six at the Chabil Mar Resort – every day, of our week visit, was a great day! The staff helped us find the very best guides and outfitters for our daily outings that included snorkeling, horseback riding, fishing, swimming in waterfalls, and visiting the Howler Monkeys & Mayan Ruins in the rainforest. Every staff member at the Chabil Mar had a sense of joy as he or she went about serving the guests – it felt great on the receiving end! Our accommodations were especially clean and very comfortable. The beds, linens, robes, towels were luxurious to the feel. Having a washer and dryer in our unit was an unexpected convenience that helped us daily after our water sports! The Family Package, offered by Chabil Mar, drew our attention during the research process of planning our vacation. The all-inclusive approach was very appealing to our family. We had a kitchen for convenience but ate anywhere we chose on the property including our own kitchen table! We could go on and on – it’s a beautiful property with a delightful staff! Go see for yourself – it’s worth it!

Good vibes and immaculate rooms at Ocean Breeze

Reviewed By kathryngK9166MW

Our group of 12 boated right up to Ocean Breeze and from the time we hit the sand to catching our ride back to the airport, we had the best time at this quiet and intimate hotel. It’s right on the beach in Placencia with picturesque views, hammocks, lounge chairs and more. The hotel bar, Toucan Jacks, has great lounge spots and the small dunk pool is complete with barside stools where Jalli mixes some excellent cocktails. We felt very taken care of and with 5 kids in our group, that’s no easy task. The staff was friendly, accommodating and helped coordinate in room covid tests for us before we left for the states. The rooms were immaculate with modern amenities, very comfortable beds ocean views. I particularly loved the attention to detail in decor. It’s located in the heart of Placencia near all the shops, vendors and dining. I hope we can return to Placencia soon and if we do, we’ll be booking here again.

Wonderful beachfront property

Reviewed By CatherineBH

We love our stay and highly recommend. Excellent beachfront property, wonderful staff, good breakfast included, and great location close to restaurants/bars, shopping, and the village. We had a welcome rum punch when we arrived. Our studio is spacious and enjoyed the ocean view. The kitchen has the necessary appliance and we’ll equipped. We had to leave on an early diving excursion so we couldn’t make the scheduled breakfast from 8:30 am - 9:30 am. They provided us with our breakfast which included cinnamon rolls, cheese with toast, and orange juice the night before. So thoughtful and sweet.
