We (parents with 2 adult children) were made to feel very welcome by Sue on our arrival and she was very helpful during our stay of 4 days, booking excursions and helping us out in general. Dave, the owner, was extremely understanding and friendly after a mishap for which we are very grateful. Thanks again Dave. Our cabana for 4 was beautifully decorated and extremely well equipped and clean, which made us feel very much at home and relaxed. The situation of the cabanas is perfect; just a five minute walk to the very relaxed bars and local restaurants. The snorkelling which we did around Laughing Bird Caye (an excursion we took) was amazing; the barrier reef is beautiful and we saw nurse sharks, rays and many, many different fish. Placencia is a great place for taking it easy!

Carribbean Beach Cabanas (CBC) is a very premium hotel in placencia. Dave and his staff were extremely accommodating, friendly, and knowledgeable. CBC is a 10 minute walk to the end of the pier or a 5 minute bike ride (all shops and restaurants are between CBC and the pier). CBC is very clean and the concept is very well thought it. Everything you would need is provided in your room along with a complimentary gift basket full of information, snacks, and other miscellaneous items. They also provided a cell phone during our stay which made it convenient to call local places to get the hours and take out for late night snacks (trip advisor isn’t always accurate especially during low season). The grounds are water front and clean. The hotel has kayaks, hammocks, snorkeling gear and other fun beach items for the stay. Our room also came with a rooftop deck that was pleasant for evening chats while the ocean breeze came in. The pool was also super clean and nice. The only downside was that the WiFi was spotty at times, but that was minute compared to all the upsides.

Judging by the looks and feel of this small hotel, I am certain we made a good choice. The service was great, rooms were clean, pool was perfect, grounds were kept clean and looked great. Have not stayed at other places, but his was a great choice for us.

Room tip: Some rooms are newer than the others. Some rooms have a complete kitchen...some do not. Only 6 rooms available...

Thank you for your review! You hit on so many points that we take great pride in at CBC - service, cleanliness, and perfect grounds and location. We are very committed to providing the best experience in the village, and we love when our guests leave Belize knowing they picked the hotel that gave them the very best experience they could have had in the village!

What else can I say about Sue, Carlos, Alexa and the Caribbean Beach Cabanas property that hasn't already been touched on in countless prior reviews. I will give it a try! This was our second visit to Placencia and we can safely say that we've found our "home away from home" in the CBCs for our future visits. To start, your wonderful experience begins even before you set foot on the property. The lines of communication with Sue is nothing less than spectacular! We were celebrating a birthday and Sue recommended a baker in the village, Merls Cafe for a birthday cake. I was able to order the cake and let me tell you, it was the best carrot cake we've ever had. But I digress....back to CBC :).

Our Maya Air flight was a little delayed coming from BZE but there was Carlos, waiting for us with a cute sign, whisked away our bags and off we went for a quick drive to CBC. Sue met us with a smile, cool scented towels and our welcome drink which were so nice after a redeye flight. Alexa showed us around the property and held our bags until our cabana was ready. We arrived at 9am and given we knew the town, we went to grab some much needed breakfast and a bucket of Belikin. The location of the CBCs right on the sidewalk is just perfect. Walk everywhere within minutes and no car needed.

I'd like to say that the ground of the CBCs is just breathtaking. No details goes unnoticed, NONE! Its truly those personal touches that make you feel right at home and so comfortable. The pool area, the personalized guest chalk board, bikes, the grill, the welcome basket, umbrellas, bug spray, the list goes on and on. If you need it, Sue and Carlos have it! We got settled into the Sol Cabana and fell asleep on the large patio. The lovely warm breezes were like a blanket and it was just so peaceful. The Sol Cabana is just so cute and very well equipped. Thermal cold cups, coffee maker, coffee and all the goods you'd need to prepare a meal. We loved the Sol Cabana!

We met another couple staying in the Casita who were celebrating an anniversary the same day as my boyfriends birthday so we had a big, double celebration at the pool. We are also planning another trip back to the CBCs with this couple as we feel we met some new friends for life. Sue, Carlos and Alexa decorated the pool area and Carlos ran down to Merls to pick up the cake. I swear, it was just so nice not having to worry about some of the small details-CBC has you covered! We even grilled some Barracuda by the pool that we caught on our excursion out to Laughingbird Caye! We were sad when it came to and end and Carlos drove us to the airport but all we could talk about was when we'd be coming back and with our new friends from Georgia.

There is a sign posted when you walk into the property that says " Come as a guest, leave as a friend". When it comes to the CBCs, Sue, Carlos and Alexa, this rings true loud and clear!

Room tip: Any room will be fabulous but the cabanas are great!

Thank you so much for your lovely review, and we were so thrilled to see your repeat reservation come through today! We can't wait to have you back with us as well, you were a wonderful guest. We love to surprise guests with small touches throughout the stay to make every day feel special - and it is a common theme here that guests end up making friends and traveling back to CBC together. There is something about the tranquility and happiniess in Placencia that brings people together, and back here, again and again!!

My mom and I just recently wrapped up a 9-night vacation at CBC, and we honestly could not have asked for a better experience! From the minute we made our booking on the CBC website, the amazing hospitality and service began. We received a tailored email offering recommendations for our trip, offers to book our puddle jumper flights, and confirmation that one of the on-site managers (Sue or Carlos) would be sure to pick us up at the airport (definitely not your standard e-generated hotel booking confirmation!). After that, we received follow-up emails a month prior to our arrival to confirm our flights so they could arrange our airport pick-up, and offers to help with any last-minute details before our stay.

The minute we landed in Placencia, Sue was there with an adorable sign with our names on it! She took us on a short car ride to CBC where we were greeted by Alexa and Sticks (the part-time doggie resident) who gave us a welcome cocktail and a tour of the absolutely beautiful property. On the property, every single detail has been meticulously thought of and taken care of. From the charming, beachy garden decorations, to the lush plant life – not to mention the gorgeous beach just steps away from each room – CBC is truly immaculate. We stayed in Villa Mar, and it was beautiful and clean. We had a small kitchenette area (complete with a complimentary gift basket full of fun goodies!), which allowed us to prep and refrigerate food, make coffee in the mornings, etc. It was perfect! CBC is also located right on Placencia’s main sidewalk, just steps away from multiple restaurants, a grocery store, shops, etc.

In addition to being a beautiful place and an amazing location, CBC’s staff are like a family away from home. Sue and Alexa (and Sticks, of course!) greeted us every morning, asked us how our multiple excursions went, and we spent lots of time just chatting poolside! When we left, we really felt like we were saying goodbye to new friends.

We booked CBC because of all of the great reviews we read on here, and let me tell you – they are true! I guarantee you won’t be disappointed if you stay at CBC. We can’t wait until our next visit!
