Family-friendly holiday rentals in Placencia Peninsula

I can't say enough about the Villas at Cocoplum! The property is absolutely gorgeous. The condos are amazing and have everything you need. The beds were very comfortable and AC worked perfect! We couldn't have asked for anything better. Even though it's in a gated area, all of Placencia is safe. The best way to get there is by Tropic Air and then rent golf carts. Most companies will have the golf carts waiting for you at the airport. There is no need to rent a car, unless you are going to drive to Placencia. We did rent a van and went to the Maya King Waterfalls for a day. It was perfect. If we ever travel back to that area, we will definitely stay at Villas at Cocoplum!

We spent 13 days at the villas at Cocoplum. We loved the location being in the middle of the peninsula. Having a golf cart gave us all the freedom we needed to do all we wanted. The pool and private dock were a huge plus. The staff at Cocoplum were very friendly and very helpful. Very easy location to experience the many excursions Belize has to offer. The villa has everything you need. We would highly recommend staying at Cocoplum villas.

We were two families traveling together looking for a nice space to relax with our kids for the week. The condos had separate living space, but joining balconies, which was really nice for privacy, but also able to spend time with friends. Kitchen was very well stocked to cook all our own meals. We enjoyed using the kayaks and paddle boards. The other residents were really kind to our kids at the pool. Overall a great place for families, or any larger group traveling together. Our host was really proactive and communicated well. We would definitely stay again.

This condo was great! Management was very helpful with assisting us with planning activities and meals. Be aware that the location is a bit away from Placencia village and will require a golf cart or car. We were a bit nervous driving the golf cart after dark, so used a taxi service for dinners. Taxis are a bit expensive. Be aware that there are sandflies on the beach, particularly around sunset, they were a minor annoyance, but be sure to have bug repellant on, when walking the beach, this is an issue all across Belize. This was our homebase for activities in the area, which included a visit to Cockscomb, Ranguana Caye and fishing. (They picked us up and delivered us with a pile of fish at the Cocoplum dock). We enjoyed meals, lounging and drinks on the beach right next door at the Naia resort. I am a photographer and enjoyed the cool mornings on the patio taking photos of beautiful birds right from the patio. Overall it was a great experience and we will be back.

This was our first trip to Belize. The surroundings are beautiful and peaceful. We enjoyed fishing from the pier, swimming in the pool and kayaking. The villa was comfortable and clean. It has all the necessities and comforts of home. Herbert was very responsive to our questions including the staff who made us feel welcome. I would recommend a vehicle to go into Placencia. We did book several excursions and they picked us up at the Villas. Highly recommend staying at the Villas at Cocoplum! Carla L.,

Our stay was amazing. The location was convenient to restaurants and activities. Floor to ceiling windows surround you in the primary suite overlooking the crystal clear water. Open the patio doors for a wonderful breeze! The kitchen has beautiful high end appliances and the furnishings are modern and stylish. The grounds are beautifully maintained with lots of flowering plants. We highly recommend you try the Triggerfish.

Ratka and Byron were phenomenal. They gave us great recommendations for food and activities. The place was beautiful and everyone was very friendly . They even were able to add air to our rental car tire . Truely full service . I would recommend their resort to anyone wanting to travel to Belize.

A wonderful uncrowded resort with all of the amenities you need. Great condo, fully equipped with everything you’ll need. Herbert and the other staff are so friendly and helpful, they were wonderful! The pool is amazing, we played in the water and jumped off the pier. We ate next door twice and enjoyed how quick it was to get to Placencia

Petite maison de plage propre avec tout le nécessaire à disposition : 1 pièce avec 2 lits doubles, 1 réfrigérateur, 1 table avec machine à café (et café inclus), 1 salle de bain. Il est possible de demander des serviettes de plage et d’avoir un ménage quotidien. Très facile d’accès. Janice est très gentille et vous proposera des activités (possibilité d’avoir un kayak de mer à disposition). Elle nous a également conseillé sur l’itinéraire à prendre pour notre destination d’après. Tous les principaux restaurants et services sont accessibles à pied, c’était un bonheur de se réveiller sous les cocotiers à la plage durant ce séjour. Il peut y avoir beaucoup de vent le soir mais on s’y habitue rapidement.

Die Hütte ist direkt am Strand mit Meerblick. Schnell von der Bushaltestelle oder dem Water-Taxi-Dock zu erreichen und trotzdem mittendrin im Küstenort. Für mich war es die ideale Unterkunft.

This location was amazing the view , the snorkeling , everything was great about it.

We had a very relaxing stay at our cabana. It had 2 full size beds, 2 end tables, a place to hang some clothes with hangars, a table with a microwave, coffee pot and coffee, and a refrigerator. We opened the windows and turned on the ceiling fans. The breeze from the ocean kept us very comfortable even though there was no A/C. The front porch had 2 chairs, a hammock and a gorgeous view! There were lots of good restaurants within walking distance. Tracy and the rest of the staff were fabulous! They cleaned our room each day, and we had access to beach towels too. Tracy will answer any questions and is full of suggestions of what to do and where to go. It is rustic, but a nice getaway for a week or longer!

Three of us stayed in a beach cabana for 5 nights. Tradewinds lived up to our expectations tenfold. Falling asleep to the sounds of the ocean (15feet from your front door) can’t be beat. The overall responsiveness and attentiveness of the staff was amazing. Matteo set up a hammock for us the first day, he brought us fresh coconuts, and set us up with sea kayaks. Tracy gave us so many local recommendations and made sure our stay was wonderful. Everything is nearby and walkable. If you are traveling as a group, make sure to read about the space ahead of time. The cabanas can be tight with a larger group, but you probably wont be spending much time inside anyways! Will definitely stay here again for our next trip to Placencia.

This beachfront Airbnb in Placencia, Belize, is a fantastic choice for a peaceful getaway. The location is perfect—steps from a private beach and close to the village. The house was clean, well-equipped, and comfortable, with a lovely patio overlooking the ocean. Rene, the host, was very responsive and ensured we had everything we needed. Highly recommend :)

We loved our stay! Clean space with everything we needed and central location. The pool was an extra bonus. Recommend to the Airbnb community. Phil was a great host.

The house is wonderful. It has that “wow” factor when you walk in with high beamed ceilings and wall to wall windows highlighting the pool and sea view as your back yard. The house was REALLY clean, and had all we needed for the week - from the stocked kitchen with coffee and filtered water jugs to get us started, dishwasher detergent, a washer and dryer with laundry soap available, and no shortage of towels - much appreciated. The wrap around, covered patio gives both bedrooms access to the back yard. It was so nice having a private beach with plenty of coconut trees for shade. Herbert was great. He provided many suggestions ahead of time as well as in the book at the house. I appreciated the attention to safety as well, something you don’t always see in a rental. The area itself is pretty quiet and Placencia is only a short drive, where you’ll find shops and restaurants. We really enjoyed the week and would highly recommend this place!

Herbert place was peaceful, clean, and inviting. We all 4 enjoyed our stay and loved being greeted by the local 2 dogs everyday. The morning sunrises were amazing. We took the kayaks out twice in the morning and enjoyed the view and all the beautiful birds feeding in the shallow sea floor while the sunrise glistened. The beach was clean, but everyday plastic would be swept in by the tides. Not a lot and no fault of the host Herbert. My husband and I would pick it up everyday. Only because we are activist about a clean earth. I wish all people would recognize this problem. Thanks Herbert for the great communication and your beautiful home. We all had a great time.

We spent our Christmas week in Villas at Cocoplum and had a great time. The location is wonderful, next to two posh resorts with great restaurants. One of them has minigolf, tennis and pickleball. The other has giant jenga and other fun activities and games. We rented a car and drove into town for shopping, activities and restaurants. What made the trip truly special were the people - Alvaro and Kimberley

Cocoplum Condos are great. We have stayed at over 20 condos in the past few years. The pool area is our all time favorite. It has beautiful trees for partial shade and is next to a lovely sand beach. The kitchen was equipped with everything we needed. We had a car rental and Herbert sent directions to the condo and was waiting for us when we arrived. We spent lots of time on the deck enjoying the peaceful surroundings when we weren't in the pool or hot tub! This is a perfect condo for two couples or a family with children.
