Hotel had a nice balcony overlooking the sea (well through a couple of houses). Owner was friendly. Clean, but nothing special room. Would come again.

Booked a room for Easter, basic private room with a double bed. Room was small without AC, but has a fan and was everything we needed. Price 50 Belize dollars, i.e. 25 USD per night. There are two shared bathroom for four rooms, so one was always available when in need. There is a bathtub and relatively good space in... More

My partner and I recently returned from Belize and we stayed at Lydia's Guesthouse while in Placencia. We stayed in one of the rooms in the main house. We shared the 2 bathrooms with other guests. It was very clean and quiet. The rooms had a large bed and huge fans. The rates were very reasonable. We booked with her... More

I stayed at Lydia's from Dec. 7, 2011 till Jan. 7, 2012. Reasonable rates. Nice and clean rooms, Free WiFi, hot water, close to grocery stores and restaurants, but far enough away from all the bars. Lydia and her staff were warm and friendly, helped with anything that they could. I will be going back for sure next year and... More

I have stayed at Lydia's for years and years. Would still be staying their if I hadn't built my own house in Placencia. Which I wouldn't have been able to do without the extremely helpful Lydia. It's not about the price it's all about the location and what you really need to relax. If you need more than this then... More

My wife and I stayed at Lydia's for 2 weeks and enjoyed our stay very much. We stayed in the newest unit, a one bedroom place. It's set back a way from the beach, but still just a 3-4 minute walk. Lydia is very nice and helpful. Laundry facilities are right there and are free, so you can pack fewer... More

This guesthouse has all that a backpacker needs, great prices ($ 10 shared room), wifi, hot showers, laundry, and cleanliness. It doesn’t have a special backpacker vibe, but Placencia itself doesn’t looked to have it either. Apart from that, Placencia is truly beautiful with its awesome beaches, is surely worth staying a day or 2.

Lydia's guest house has several cabanas right on the beach. They also seem to use the name Las Amigas. Very reasonable price around 50 us for nice big cabana with full kitchen. On beach in quiet area North of main town but only 5 minutes to restaurnats etc. Lydia is really nice and helpful.

We stayed in a room with a double bed with a very nicely powerful fan. The shared bathrooms have hot water and are kept clean. We stayed in the house (not apartments), in the front room on the ground floor. There are some chairs and hammocks outside and the beach for swimming is opposite the house. It's a wee trek... More
