Wonderful sandy beach with loungers, volley ball net, cornhole game, kayaks, etc. The staff from the Front office, housekeeping, maintenance , do a outstanding job of make the resort what it is. The General Manager has made this a place that we will definitely return to next year. We had a full kitchen and thus with a abundance of grocery stores and fresh fruits and vegetables, it was easy to make a home away from home. As this is just a special place in the Village of Placencia.

This is a fabulous updated place! The website does not quite do it justice. We stayed in the condo unit with a nice deck and ocean view. Quiet with a bar next door when you need more excitement. Loved our week long stay here! Excellent bed!!! Highly recommended for quiet retreat.

Brisa Oceano was perfect, it's right off the main "sidewalk" but a little further down so close enough to things without being in a busy area. But who am I kidding - this is Placencia! The vibe here is lad back everywhere which is the number one draw! There is no pool here (which didn't bother us at all - we were here for the beach), but it's beachfront and the rooms were well appointed. We had a few minor issues (kept bumbling the safe and needed an AC repair), but the staff was SUPER responsive and helpful and resolved everything ASAP. We met a few folks who come back to Brisa Oceano year after year and I can totally see why, I'd definitely stay there again when we go back!

Our stay was even better than expected! The location is in the center of Placencia Village, making is very easy to walk or bike to anywhere we wanted to go. The room was very nice and the beachfront location was beautiful. Included in the stay are reserved beach chairs, kayaks and bike rentals. The staff was friendly and helpful and we would stay again.

Great 2 bed 2 bath room with kitchen. Very convenient to bars, food, beach. The bed was a huge king size. About 7 minutes from local airfield. Need to fly on Maya or tropic from BZE Airport. Nice staff, but didn't interact much. Had some booking confusion, not blaming them. Suggest using whatsapp to communicate. Great wifi. Pool bar next door, buy booze there you can use the pool.

Major essential resources failed from the first day of my check-in Nov 15, 2023 till my check out a month later. Delighted with having been given a very attractive rate for a month stay by the previous management in February of 2023, I was really looking forward to my one bedroom suite #10C at Brisa Oceano in Placencia. The first sign of neglect was the dead light bulb in the main entrance/kitchen. As Housekeeping had gone off duty I replaced it with one from the front office. No big deal there! Next, neither of the two TVs functioned. That required a specialist to come in several times to get each working. As well, the essential wifi I require to do my online writing with an editor also failed repeatedly for about a week. I had to cancel or postpone online meetings as a result. As I learned no one had been in the suite for numerous months before me. While the front office staff and night security did all they could with this collapsed network of problems, I insisted to see the manager. The new manager, Jean, was at first apologetic for these issues with an offer to give me the same suite next year with a 10% discount. But after I sent him a copy of the ongoing issues that included repeated water shut offs due a broken pump and finally the failure of the AC unit in the living room, he decided to blame staff and un-invite me because I made him unhappy as I appear to be an unhappy guest. With just a week left, he also added he would reimburse me for the last week and never wanted to see me again! Of course as anyone knows, finding a last-minute accommodation in high season is unlikely and very costly so I declined that one. Reflecting on what all happened, it seems more like a segment from a comedy show than reality. It's a first in all my travels in many countries for over 55 years. I would never recommend Brisa today to anyone. I left out that the septic tanks in front of my unit were being repaired with massive machinery causing noise though I never complained about that. It was clean and staff were totally willing to help with everything they could do but management was a bust.

My fist trip to Placencia, I saw these being built, and thought they looked nice. So when I was looking for a place on my 3rd trip, I booked here. Location is absolutely perfect, being on the beach and right in the middle of the Placencia Village. My room was on the second floor, and had a small balcony to enjoy the view. Room was simple but modern. One note: There is Brisa Oceano (this place) and also Ocean Breeze resort. They are side by side, and Ocean Breeze has a tiny pool and more importantly Toucan Jacks! I don't know what their rooms look like, but location is great for both.

Their breakfast was swimming in coconut oil; the fry jacks were absolutely inedible. Even the slices banana were permeated with greasy coconut oil. And it was double the price of most places. The menu has what looks like a reasonable price in Belize dollars but it turned out to be USD.

Excellent location right in the village on the sidewalk and beach. Tired of the beach, no problem, they have a shuttle available to take guests to another hotel managed by the same company to enjoy a pool with a swim up bar.

Our stay at Brisa Oceano was more than we could have hoped for. For starters the price is incredibly fair for what you get, the accommodations are spacious, clean and very comfortable. The staff went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. The location is also great as it sits right on the boardwalk with its own beach right out in front. We would definitely stay here again.

Started off great with super friendly and helpful staff. The location is just perfect. Right next to the beach and so close to a million local things to do. And by to the pier so it's super easy to book a day trip to their sister island (Which we did and would recommend to everyone!!). The rooms are gorgeous! Super clean and look brand new. Definitely 5 stars.

Apparently this resort was decent until they changed management and now are privately owned. They are a nightmare to work with and will take your money. They won’t give refunds saying that they can’t until their accounts are settled. And from other reviews I have seen they are making guest pay again when they get there! Stay somewhere else, anywhere else because this place is a mess and dealing with them will make you never want to go to Belize.
Response from Property: First I would like to thank you for your patience, I know it has been a while since you canceled and requested a refund. We did our best to expedite your request however our best was not up to our standards as well as your expectations. Changing management companies did have the most effect as your reservation was with the management company that we terminated our affiliation with, it consumed many hours to retrieve and verify the validity of the reservations as well as the fact that we did receive these dollars. I believe the check should have arrived in the home address if not it has been mailed out, if you have not received it, please email me at gm@brisaoceano.com Again, please kindly accept our apologies and trust that this was a painful experience for us as well.

The accommodations were very nice. The office and cleaning staff were very helpful and did a great job. However, many things were in disrepair and the maintenance staff were either unwilling or unable to fix anything. This master suite had a full kitchen and living room equipped with inoperable TV, a stove with only half the burners working and a coffee pot with a hole in it and a bathroom faucet that was clogged and barely put out any water. If you can tolerate broken items, it’s a great place to stay.

Very friendly staff, right on the beach, great location in center of town between the Pickled Parrot and Rumfish Grille. Rooms were large, clean, and comfortable. Highly recommend! Believe the hotel has been recently renovated, reasonably priced.

Very happy we chose Brisa. Communicating with the staff before and while we were there was easy and fast. Very clean, updated rooms. Our one bedroom had one of the best views of the beach. Big shower, hot water and great pressure. Comfortable bed. Great A/C. Loved having coffee in the room. They even provide insulated tumblers to use and take home with you. Definitely check out the sister property, The Placencia. Beautiful resort with pool and swim up bar. Also recommend going to Ranguana Caye!!
