I can’t say enough about Driftwood Gardens or hosts Phil and Megan. If you’re thinking about booking.. stop thinking and do it, you won’t regret it! Already have my next tripped planned to stay at Driftwood Gardens. Good location, good food, and good vibes. Cheers! 🏝️

Coconut House: Beachfront in Placencia Village
We had an ac go out and it was REPLACED within a couple of hours!!! Lots of communication and very peaceful!!

Mermaid Cottage & Pool on Azura Beach in Placencia
We liked the mermaid cottage a lot. We stayed at one of the tiny houses as well. I didn't realize that there is not a beach here though and the sand that is all around in the photos is not sand you can play in, it's just a dusting on top of the ground. And much of it had biting ants. So this was a beautiful place but not ideal for little kids (our 2 year old was with us). We spent our days down at the Bohemian in town which had a beach and pool. We loved the little plunge pool at the cottage though, it was very cute and a great way to cool off. If you are looking into their different accomodations, this is definitely the best one. This place is about a 15 minute drive into the town of Placencia. If you walk two properties down to the left there is a nice resort with a restaurant. Communication is very confusing but if you just talk to Jose it will be all good.

Cool Breeze Cabanas- Jungle Suite
We enjoyed our stay at Cool Breeze Cabanas. Will definitely stay there for our next trip back to Placencia. Candice did an extraordinary job meeting our expectations as well as prompt communication. It's a no frills accommodations, but very clean and there is no place closer to the beach than this cabana. If needed, Candice will set up any excursions and meal reservations for you. Definitely recommend.

Cashew Cabins Nuthouse Two
What a great place. CLEAN! I walked in and was so impressed with how clean it is that I booked the room again right then and there for the next weekend! It is located an easy and pleasant walk from the restaurants, beach and bars. The pool was so nice to have right there -- a quick dip in the mornings, another after getting back from whatever I was doing for the day, and another dip before bed. Chris supplied a towel for the pool, as well as nice cushions for the lounge chairs outside. Have I mentioned how clean the place is? Yes, I have, but it's worth noting again. Chris was super helpful with lining up transportation back to the airport. I was traveling alone (female, 57 years old) and felt perfectly safe at The Cashew Cabins. Would I stay there again? Absolutely!

Bikini Cabana on Azura Beach Placencia Wi-Fi & A/C
Beautiful property. The palapa was amazing to sunbathe and sit in the overwater hammock reading. The place was super cute, loved all the wood finishing throughout. Very clean. Cornhole was fun to play. The only thing I would add is a hairdryer, my hair was a complete mess the whole time we were there. But that’s very minor. 😊 would definitely stay here again.

Seen on HGTV! Driftwood Gardens- Studio Apt w/Pool
We loved our stay! Clean space with everything we needed and central location. The pool was an extra bonus. Recommend to the Airbnb community. Phil was a great host.
