**ABOUT PLACENCIA**
Placencia, located in Southern Belize, is the second most popular tourist destination in the country. It is situated on a 16-mile-long peninsula that is surrounded by a lagoon on one side and the Caribbean Sea on the other. It is much smaller, less congested and more laid back than Ambergris Caye/San Pedro. Being inland, Placencia provides easy access to many activities on the mainland like Mayan Ruins, waterfalls, ziplining and cave tubing to name a few. Placencia offers numerous restaurants, small shops, bars and the famous Placencia Sidewalk. It is the perfect place for an amazing Caribbean vacation!

**GETTING FROM THE INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT TO THE PROPERTY**

- Option 3 is to rent a vehicle at BZE and make the drive down to the condo yourself.

Wonderful Experience!

We had an amazing experience at this beautiful and well-maintained rental property. From the moment we arrived, the staff on the premises were incredibly attentive and always available to answer any questions we had. A special thank you to Erica, who was exceptionally responsive throughout the entire planning process and continued to be helpful during our stay. The property itself is stunning—clean, comfortable, and clearly cared for with great attention to detail. We felt relaxed and well taken care of throughout our visit. We strongly recommend this property to anyone planning a trip to Placencia and are already looking forward to our next stay!

What a wonderful expererience

I can't say enough about the wonderful week we had at Mission Bay. The accommodations were perfect for us and the staff could not have done a better job of creating the experience we had. Everything was excellent, they were friendly, professional, responsive and helpful in answering all our questions and with their suggestions for things we could do. All of the add-ons, from the drummers to the painters and the massages and the photographer were well worth it so I greatly appreciated their thoughts on those things. And the food--oh my. Our chef prepared fantastic meals and was very accommodative with our special requests. If your family is looking for a place to spend a nice relaxing and fun week with wonderful people in a beautiful environment this place is perfect for you.

Fantastic

We stayed at Mission Bay for a week vacation. Words can’t express the hospitality we received from Jorge & Jeyme. They were fabulous!!! They answered questions & helped us with what we needed during our stay. Very kind, fun, & honest people. Orlando was our chef- great guy that makes delicious food!! The house was great! Plenty of room for 6 couples. The outside living area was perfect. Was nice to have the option of a pool, even tho the ocean was steps away. Had a fire on the beach. Coffee in the morning on the pier. Excellent stay!!!

Namir kept the house clean and organized and Trevor even cut down some coconuts for us to try. They were both always willing to help! Our food from the chef was delicious as well.

Last year I came with a group of friends all in our 50s...and everyone had an incredible time. This year I brought my family ranging in age from 84-26...and everyone had an incredible time.

2nd visit, planning third!

Our party of nine adults stayed last October for 6 lovely nights. The house comes with everything you could possible need and more. We appreciated Maverick's daily attention to the house. Chef Julia's delicious cooking left us with full bellies. She was even able to cook the fish our group caught on a fishing excursion. The housekeeper kept our rooms tidy and the laundry service was extremely helpful. The house it's self is set up so everyone felt like they had their own privacy and we loved spending time together in the outdoor dining/living area. The beach access was used daily. The water was warm and we were able to snorkel and see lots of fish from the pier. The golf cart was perfect to drive into town or the grocery store for beer/coffee runs. We also explored the local restaurants and bars at night. Placencia is a great town with such nice people. Our next trip will be with our kids and we can't wait for them to experience everything Mission Bay and Belize has to offer.

Perfection

We had two families traveling together for a total of nine adults. The accommodations worked perfectly for us. Each of four couples had a private room with an en suite, as did the one single person. The rest of the time we gathered in the open-to-the-outside first floor dining and living area. It was perfect for reading, eating, playing games and taking in the beautiful view. From there, it was just a few steps to the pool or the ocean. We enjoyed the golf cart rides into Placencia (about 25 minutes). The staff was truly amazing! The caretaker, chef and housekeeper were all friendly and great at what they did. We enjoyed visiting with them, but they never intruded. We have no complaints, and would happily stay here again.
