Holiday rentals in Maya Centre

Fabulous location - the house is set back from the road far away from the hubbub of Placencia Village. Wonderful to have our own a private beach with vegetation on either side so that you never saw any neighbours. To top it off was the manager Santiago who gave us our privacy yet kept the grounds pristine. He chopped down and opened a couple of coconuts for us. Great guy.

Staying with Tricia felt like staying with “auntie”! She’s a gourmet cook using fresh organic vegetables. She gave vegetarian choices. She took me to a gift shop after I mentioned I wanted to buy art. We shared ice cream at a local shop (amazing casava, coconut and real rum in the rum raisin). Her friends and family were hospitable, friendly, and as a solo Woman I felt absolutely safe. So much I didn’t even lock my room! Tricia was hospitable without crossing boundaries. She’s a very trustworthy and respectful person as are the rest of the crew! Put ups to Gaston for encouraging me to swim in the Caribbean Sea - fire take in front of the property! I cannot say enough about their level of professionalism and etiquette. Moving forward, I will always stay with Tricia when I’m Belize.

Absolutely perfect. Cute colorful Cabaña right on a gorgeous beach. And inside: everything we needed (a lot of airbnbs are missing hooks, shelves, little things like paper towel, coffee or condiments- they had everything and more! For example luggage scale or mini rechargeable reading light. Walking distance to everything in town (tiny village Hopkins) Strongly recommend!

This is a facility is akin to a hotel with multiple individual units with a common area that is nicely equipped for lounging and relaxing under a thatched roof, all so very pleasant. I very much enjoyed my stay there and will certainly return.

Phil's place is a great location for exploring Belize without the tourists! Centrally located in the southern part of the country, it was within an hour of great little villages like Placencia, Dangriga and Hopkins, as well as the mountains and cayes for hiking, zip lining, snorkeling, caving...you name it. It's off the beaten path, nestled in a reserve so be prepared for driving on dirt roads to get there, but hey, it's Belize, so that's common and you'll get used to it. We drove from Belize City so didn't take up Phil's offer to rent his personal Jeep, but you'll definitely need an SUV (that's all rental companies provide anyway). It's a good place to stay if you are allergic to tourists and want a nice quiet, peaceful home with all the amenities....but close enough to drive in for dinner or drinks with expats or tourists if you get lonely. Phil's house was super clean, safe, beautiful, comfortable and well provisioned. We stayed with our two teenage boys who loved the pool and the beach club with access to the ocean, paddle boards and kayaks. We had it to ourselves most days! There is no cable TV (which we loved) but Phil's got the most amazing collection of movies (1,000+) so you won't be bored (movie night was every night!). Since it's a bit remote, you likely won't be going out to eat every day, so stop by a grocery store in any of the towns on the way in or the surprisingly well-stocked store on the community, including a case of Belikin beer in a returnable crate (THE beer of Belize).

Ultimately this was the best airbnb I have ever stayed in. The location is incredible- literally waking up inside the national park. Trails start onsite, waterfalls within a 30 minute walk. Abundance of birds. Room is overall basic (bed comfy, shower is great). No A/C and it is HOT at night. No kitchen only their restaurant. Dinner is $26 USD (lots of food, worth it) but the breakfast ($16.50) and lunch ($17.50) felt so overpriced. HOWEVER THE FOOD IS AMAZING. the chef is 10/10. all staff on site were unbelievably kind and helpful. The room itself is priced reasonably but everything onsite is in USD and EXPENSIVE!! Be prepared to spend a lot when you get there. Otherwise bring snacks/protein bars and do self guided hikes (free) to keep costs down. Arrange own transport too. Transport offered like ride to airport is $250. Hikes were great, I did 5/7 waterfalls. Saw only birds no other wild life which was too bad. Overall this was a great experience!!! amazing place and people

If you like going to sleep and waking up to the sound of the ocean, this is the place to stay at. The cabins are right along the edge of the beach and are walking distance to local businesses and delicious food. A bike is sufficient for getting around to businesses that are little further away and tour companies are close enough for pickups to further places. We happened to be there during a heat wave and were very happy that the bedroom had AC which helped us stay comfy at night. During the day the breeze from the ocean is cooling, so leaving the windows and door open brings in a nice breeze. There are chairs and hammocks on the porch and on the beach. Overall I recommend staying here for a relaxed beach vacation.

We normally try to avoid “resorts” while traveling, but this place was perfect for our stay in Hopkins Village! We had an upstairs suite that was very spacious and comfortable! The view of the ocean is fantastic from the front balcony and the entire place just feels very relaxed, quiet, and clean. We enjoyed using the two pools that are right near the ocean, very comfortable and easy to access. They provide beach towels and plenty of clean water to drink. They give you the option to add a resort provided food and drink package, but it is not obligated. Instead you can choose to forgo the package and dine at their restaurant as much or little as you want. We enjoyed the Rhum Shack’s offerings especially for breakfast! But we also enjoyed borrowing some of their many cruiser bikes for free to leisurely cruise around town and find some local restaurants to try! A staff are all very kind, helpful, and quick to respond. We felt very well looked after and welcomed.
