Holiday rentals in Riversdale

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 fantastic. The plunge pool exceeded expectations and was very well kept. We found out later in our trip how amazing that shady paradise really was. The dock was a great place to sit and lookout over the ocean for coffee.. for drinks.. for reading- it was incredible. The location, as described, is a little bit north of the main Placencia village, but there were still a few places to walk to and get a nice meal. Otherwise you'd have to rent or taxi to town and then walk around. Most communication for taxis and such were done over Whats App which was really convenient with lots of wifi available around town at the bars/restaurants. Everything was as described. We would definitely come back.

We loved the private beach! our family wanted something away from crowds and this house was it! You do need to drive about 25 minutes to get to Placencia but we enjoyed the drives back and forth. The kitchen does have minimal dishes, dish towels, etc. so keep that in mind for meal planning. Chris was very responsive to an issue we had with the water and it w as quickly resolved. We would definitely go back!

Words really can’t express how beautiful Tamzin’s place was! The pictures really did show just how amazing the space is. There is nothing else we could have wanted this place to be stocked with. Tamzin went above any beyond making sure we felt welcomed upon arrival. Don’t hesitate booking this place.

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.

The villa was just what my family needed. It was out of the tourist area and relaxing. The house is equipped with most everything we needed. The place was just as advertised. Great time and a bottom floor bedroom for privacy for my dad. Kitchen is remarkable and beautiful!!

Had a fantastic 5-night stay at the Toucan Guest House. Comfortable, well-appointed house in an ideal location. It is close to both Cockscomb and Bocawina—two of our favorite jungle reserves—so we had no problem getting to both during prime early morning birding hours. It was even close to Hopkins for restaurants, groceries, and the beach. Hosts were fantastic. We highly recommend.
