2 things we loved about this place. First, the beach - fantastic. Second, the kayaks which were free to use and we spent a whole day paddling around the lagoon and waterways. Apart from that, the rooms could do with a makeover, but Lisa is a great hostess and very relaxed about everything which made all the difference.

We didn't have a booking, having arrived from the Ragamuffin sailing trip. We were lucky enough to get a room here - at the side, slightly cheaper than the front, but still beach views from the balcony. Good place to stay. I agree with the other comments about the rooms and really pleased to find a safe in the room.... More

I came to Placencia looking for a nice little place near the beach. I found it in the Westwind Hotel right on the beach. It's a friendly and clean family run hotel. If my room had been available longer, I would have probably extended my stay. This is a hotel with not only the necessary but with a lot of... More

Everything great here, laid back. Warm. Clean. Great view on the beach. Walk to everything! Lisa the bomb and even a geocache hid on the grounds. The only thing I would mention is that with being a friendly, cozy place, there is not a lot of privacy. Windows open, people close, if you know what I mean. Not recommended for... More

Lisa does everything to ensure that your needs are met to make this a great experience. Laid back atmosphere where doing what you want is the name of the game. Main living room is open for guests to drop in at any time and a pot of coffee is there for everyone first thing in the morning.

Came to Belize with hopes very high and I can only say that they were blown away. After flying into Placencia on a little plane I was met by a warm driver that the West Wind had arranged to meet us. Immediately, the hospitality was evident. Walking in the door of the West Wind was only a small glimmer of... More

Great hosts, Great rooms, Great views and amazingly comfortable rooms. Placencia Village is one of the great places in the world to stay and the Westwind makes it even better. Hanging out on the terrific beach with wonderful water and tremendous views and then having such a comfortable place to relax and sleep is one of life's great pleasures. Their... More

It was a nice stay in a great location. The rooms themselves were very basic and the hotel was rather a long distance ffrom the road. Lisa the manager, was a great asset and was very helpful. In fact she went to great trouble to make our stay more enjoyable. We were there in September and were surprised to find... More

We had an unforgetable stay at the Westwind in Placencia. It is right on the beach w/ soft white sand. There are also canoes available if you so desire to paddle around. Placencia is a quaint little town with lots of shops, and restaurants. It wasn't busy when we stayed in October but were told that would not be the... More
