The room and staff were great!
The issue was the location and distance from activites. The shuttel was only available 3 or the 7 days were there and even than it cost $20 USA for each person.
Food was good but it was on the spendy side. The $117.00 facility use fee was also a bit of a shock.
We had an Oceanview room on the first floor and the view from the front porch was outstanding - maybe 50-75’ of beach to the water from the front sidewalk. There were half a dozen palapas spread out on the beach in front of the rental units and the HUGE pool that has a swim-up bar. The pier goes out to the hotel restaurant, which looks very new, with updated decor and a very professional and courteous staff. They are in the process of renovating rooms and adding a conference center, but the construction really didn’t bother us. The pool umbrellas and lounge chairs are a little tattered, but are probably on the list to be replaced during the reno. Overall, an excellent experience!

The highlight of this property is the staff. Very friendly and helpful at all times. The property is going through an extensive property improvement renovation to become a Hyatt and the rooms although clean, were worn and dated. Guests should be aware that if they are expecting rooms to look like how they are presented on the Hyatt website, they will be disappointed. There is currently only one F&B option. The food is decent and the service was excellent. There is no gift shop or any other retail services on property at the moment. The property is in a quiet location with very nice, clean beachfront. It is one of the further properties from the village center. If you rent a golf cart, please be careful to get one with ample power or it will take over 45 minutes to get to the village. There is a resort shuttle but be mindful a lot of guests are using it and it can take time for drop offs/pick ups. Once the improvements are completed, I can see this property be a solid 4-5 star property.

Wonderful, fast, luggage service and a beautiful hotel to arrive at
Gorgeous resort, beautiful location right on beach, helpful staff, amazing and large pool, restaurant on the pier was top notch for atmosphere and food. Ate 6 meals there.
The property is under construction so a lot of the food amenities are limited but the villas are beautifully newly renovated and the staff is very nice. Best to rent a car so that you can explore better food options off property during the day.

Stay here!
This is a delightful place. Its right on the beach and has a terrific pool with waterfall and swings! Cocktails and food are lovely and well priced. Some of the room was a bit tired looking but to be expected in a coastal resort. I would stay here again for sure!

Outside of the property is beautiful Awesome pool nice beach very cleaned the rooms inside however are very dated our shower was ugly moldy The property is being updated by a new owner should be awesome in the coming years I believe it's a little overpriced for its current condition Only had one meal breakfast was on par
The rooms are clean, spacious and comfortable. The pool is large and clean. The staff is super friendly and respectful. The building i stayed in was beautiful on the inside but could use a little touch up paint on the outside.

Staff is wonderful. Property is "tired" looking. No bicycles avail for use as mentioned in property details. New Pier Bar is pretty but the food was not cooked well.
Truly stellar pool with three areas of different depths. This allowed children to play more freely while parents enjoyed the pool. Only complaint was limited food options with highly variable quality.
Note this area of Placencia has lots of sea grass and sargassum that washes up on the beaches daily. So depending on your level of comfort swimming in and around it, you may not be able to use the ocean. When it decays it smells heavily of sulfur.

When we checked in, we were asked to pay a 40 US resort fee that we were not aware of when I booked so that was a sudden surprise. The prices at the restaurant were quite high. The beds were not the greatest. They were on wheels so they moved a lot.. but the pool was amazing. The water was warm. The staff was friendly and kind not usually the kind of place I stay, but I would go back for the pool.
The physical resort was phenomenal. The two reasons I did not give it a five star were 1) that the water pressure in the showers were so low. I never felt clean and could not wash my hair properly, and 2) the hotel restaurant was more expensive than the local restaurants. The days we didn't prepare food in our kitchen, we had to leave the resort. If the prices had been comparable, we would have eaten at the resort more often. The food was delicious, just astronomically expensive. Everything else about the resort was amazing and the staff were so incredibly nice.

The grounds are beautifully kept. A lot of renovation is taking place & is needed.
Meal menu needs to be expanded. Shuttle was out
The beach area is not wide or particularly nice sand, but the thatch shades on the beach are very nice. The water near shore is not clear, and not inviting for swimming.
The pool area and swim up bar are very nice. The rooms are clean and comfortable.
I saw very few actual guests here, which seemed odd.
Beautiful property, friendly staff, large pool area great for adults and children, onsite restaurant was a plus. Parking is a good distance from some rooms/buildings. The room was the only thing lacking for our stay. Dated, squeaky bed, dim bathroom lighting, limited space to hold things in room (could be set up better), only two standard pillows on our bed.
The best of both worlds!
This property is stunning, and it really offered the best of both worlds. We were able to experience resort-style amenities and service, while enjoying the space of an AirBnB. Our suite was huge and gave us ample room to enjoy ourselves. It was nice to be able to cook some meals in the suite, although they could definitely stand to upgrade their kitchenware.
The pool is huge, and we really enjoyed the swim-up bar. The restaurant sits right on the water, and we were really impressed with the food there. The service is top-notch from the bar to the housekeeping staff.
*A note about the location: Placencia is a lot bigger than I realized. This property is in an area that is mostly just resorts and a handful of restaurants. A little further South is Maya Beach, which is quite nice. If you want to actually visit Placencia Village, it's a good 20-30 minute drive. So this is the perfect location for a relaxing, peaceful getaway. But if you want to be in the heart of Placencia, go further South.
I enjoyed my stay at the placencia... there was some confusion on my part since the hotel changed management. My partner problem is the issue with the hot water. We expected it to come on after a while however it did not. I like that there is a security guard and when we come in late from tours but they double checked that we live at the resort. I love the pier and the staff were friendly answering all our questions. Thank you for a great stay.
