During our recent stay, we were thoroughly impressed by the cleanliness and tranquility of the accommodations. The hosts were incredibly personable, ensuring our comfort throughout our visit. What stood out were the detailed instructions provided for both the condo and local eateries, which made exploring the area a breeze. Without a doubt, we would eagerly choose to stay here again in the future.

Great communication with the owners. The property is much nicer and larger than it appears in the photos. The pool is also much nicer than it appears in the photos. The location is very central and I would highly recommend. We stayed here towards the end of a two week trip to Belize and it was nice to have a full kitchen to cook some meals after eating out so often

We had a great stay. The place easily accommodated 2 parents and 3 kids. The house had the charm of a beach house. The location was within easy walking distance to beach, grocery store, restaurants, etc. We made good use of the pool. The owners couldn’t have been nicer. We were very happy to have stayed.

We loved every moment spent at Driftwood Gardens. It was hard to find as the signage is not obvious from the road, but either than that we had zero issues. The unit had every detail we could want from kitchen utencils to bathroom needs. The owners were friendly and gracious. We will be back one day!

Clean, comfortable in Placencia

The apartment is excellently located in Placencia. The owners who live above do a great job communicating. They have bikes available that got us down the town to the local beach. Lots of restaurants around and a store across the street. An extra bonus was use of the laundry downstairs. It was a big help since we were heading back into the jungle and needed to refresh our pants and long sleeves. The apartment is beautiful and comfortable. We especially appreciated the two terraces to eat and relax. Tour company picked us up onsite. Driftwood was a great choice.

Room for three

The location is beautiful and perfect for relaxing. The owners live on site and they were so kind, and helpful. We arrived much later than we had planned but Paul stayed up to welcome us and give us the tour. In the morning we were greeted with a loaf of fresh made bread and mangos picked straight off the tree. We cannot compliment or recommend this enough.
