I have just returned from a fantastic trip to Placencia in Belize having stayed at the newly reformed Sky Flower guesthouse, formerly the Serenade, run by Nick (an enthusiastic British ex-pat) and Shannon (a Belizean celebrity TV presenter!). The guesthouse is all you need for a budget stay in the village. First and foremost it is spotlessly clean, the air... More

My husband and I arrived unannounced in Placencia Jan 11th. With absolutely no pre-plans we explored and asked around for accomodations for the night at the end of the peninsula. After many inquiries with no luck we finally pulled our car into a seemingly central parking area with many guesthouses to explore. Joel (Joe - El) saw us and immediately... More

Joel is a very professional owner with business experience from the US, his family is deep rooted in Placencia and the surrounding islands. Joel has a keen attention to detail and is constantly keeping up the grounds of the hotel, his... More

I loved staying there. The owner was constantly trying to please. I am from seattle and broke my leg. The owner took me to the clinic, which was closed.

This was the second hotel we stayed at whilst in Placencia and it's lovely. The owner really took care of us.

Clean affordable and good location. A safe place to leave your stuff and explore this wonderful area and get your laudry done. We stayed here last year after a Raggamuffin sailing trip and we came back. The restaurant is closed for now but there are lots of places to eat close by.

I will definitely stay here again and againa and agian. The best part of staying at the Serenaded is definitely the people that run the place. They are boisterously friendly and a lot of fun. At times It felt more like visiting with family (without the issues) than staying at a hotel. Reasonable rates and great location. The rooms are... More

Nicole is always ready to help you with anything you may need. Rooms are very good for the price not luxury but a great place to sleep at night with A/C. Comfortable king bed and a nice bathroom. Decor is sparce and could use a little updating but for the price no complaints here.

I have been living in rural Belize for one year, and my friends and I have found our new Placencia hotel for weekends away. Right in the middle of the village, It is close to the shops, restaurants, and most importantly beach. Being set up and away from the sand deters any bugs, and the A/C makes for a great... More
