"wonderful lodge with very good food and very nice staff! everything was perfect!"

"Avoid at all costs. The place is filthy: peeling paint, pillows stained with sweat and mold, broken air conditioning, a faulty bathroom, and dust everywhere. But the worst part? The owner. Invasive and oppressive, he spies on guests through cameras and shows up unannounced at 10:30 PM to watch our every move. His behavior is disrespectful and downright hostile. To top it off, he had the nerve to charge us for extra sheets and the additional guest, despite the terrible conditions. The only saving grace is the manager, who was kind and attentive, but that doesn’t make up for this disgraceful experience. An absolute nightmare."

"An absolutely fabulous Inn. You find yourself right at the end of the village where you are just off the beaten path, but yet just moments away from everything you need. Tom and Lori are fantastic host and references for all things Belize. From the moment we walked onto the property to the time of our departure, there was just the right mix of hospitality, concierge service, local knowledge, and yet we never felt like we were intruded upon. Rooms are fantastic, the beds are even better, the upstairs porches made for a great experience, and the downstairs bar and food truck made for a great happy hour before our night time activities. Can't say enough about the hospitality of Tom and Lori and I would 100 percent come back to the Sea Glass Inn."

"Driftwood Gardens was truly my hidden gem in Placencia. I stayed in one of the lovely one-bedroom accommodations over the weekends before and after my volunteer trip, and it was the perfect place to relax. The apartment was spotless, comfortable, and thoughtfully equipped with everything I needed. The beautiful pool and lush tropical gardens created a peaceful oasis where I could unwind after diving. What really sets Driftwood Gardens apart are the owners. They clearly take tremendous pride in their property and genuinely care about their guests. Their hospitality, attention to detail, and willingness to help made me feel right at home. If you’re looking for a quiet, charming place to stay in Placencia that feels personal rather than commercial, I can’t recommend Driftwood Gardens highly enough. It was my little diamond in the rough, and I would happily stay there again on my next trip to Belize."
