The 10 Best Things to do Good for a Rainy Day in Placencia, Stann Creek
Once a sleepy fishing village, Placencia has emerged as an increasingly popular eco-destination on the Caribbean. 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. Tour guides and dive centers offer a variety of excursions, with boat rides to the outer cayes an ongoing favorite. Also popular are guided land tours to Mayan Ruins or trekking the jungle trails of Cockscomb Basin Wildlife Sanctuary, where the first Jaguar Reserve in the world was established.

(English below) Abbiamo fatto il massaggio combinato (deep tissue, hot stone, scrub e maschera viso e piedi) di coppia, entrambi siamo rimasti molto soddisfatti. L'atmosfera è magica, musica rilassante, nella stanza c'è fresco e si trova in mezzo a un bel giardino (quello del ristorante, precisamente). In più, le ragazze sono molto gentili e preparate. Lo consiglio assolutamente! Bonus, si può prenotare su Internet senza bisogno di passare prima o di telefonare. We've done a couple massage, we asked for the combo one, which includes deep tissue, hot stone, and feet and face mask and scrub. We are both very pleased. The atmosphere there is magic, very relaxing, nice music, and from the Windows you can see the garden below (of the restaurant). Also the room is cool enough, and the girls are very nice. Definitely recommend! Bonus because you can book online, without having to ring them or come by before your treatment to book it.

Treasure Box is a MUST while in Placencia! I met Kaj through a friend and received a few items through her via Facebook and Insta before actually visiting her store in Belize. I reached out to her before my husband and I arrived in Placencia and when we arrived at Treasure Box, Kaj's employee Valentina greeted us with a smile (she also has THE BEST LAUGH EVER) Treasure Box has various items to choose from...rings, bracelets, necklaces, earrings, toe rings and plenty of other items, all of which are very inexpensive, and such great quality. Did I tell you that ALL items are handmade by Kaj? Who wouldn't want to take home a piece made by a Belizean local? I can tell you that I purchased MANY items, not only did I purchase many items, but I also took a trip to her other store in San Ignacio and bought two more pairs of earrings. My favorite item that I have that she made, is my personalized necklace, if you want one of these, you must order in advance so that you can pick up from her store when you arrive. You must also visit her other business "Cool Coconuts" at the end of the pier. They will chop open a fresh coconut right in front of you and you can either have a shot of coconut rum added, or just drink it as is. DELISH! Do NOT leave Placencia without visiting both of these businesses, you will not walk away disappointed! xoxo

I'm most grateful to Jennifer, the massage therapist at Siren's Spa. I arrived with a verity of aches and pains associated with too many hours using a keyboard and mouse. In a 1 hour session, Jennifer expertly addressed my (left side) neck-to-fingertip challenges while also taking time to sooth other areas. I will be making another appointment with her! My husband who has chronic back pain issues was also seen by Jennifer. He has told me that he is most satisfied with her therapeutic techniques and felt better than he has in a while after the session. Thank you from both of us, Jennifer.
