The Villas at Cocoplum

In my opinion, this is the best place we stayed in Belize (we stayed in 2 other places)...We stayed in unit 232 for 3 nights. It had 3 bedrooms (one was on the loft) and 2 bathrooms, a full kitchen and a living room. Herbert checked us in, gave us many helpful tips about the area. There was ample parking, the pool was very nice and there were enough lounge chairs and shade... The condo is pretty new and very modern feeling. In my opinion it was very clean. It had very nice bathrooms and a great view of the water from the balcony. The bed in the master bedroom was very comfortable and there was lots of storage space for our stuff. It was very quiet there at night. There was even a washer & dryer! If we were in Placencia again, we would definitely stay there again!!

First, this is a superior property. First class accommodations. The entire staff was extremity friendly and hekpfull. But.... We wanted to go fishing and our host recommenced three 'fishermen' for us All three responded, but only one had availability. We met with the gentlemen to ask questions, did our best to ensure he understood what a fly fishermen was looking for, and the safety of the non-fishermen in our group and booked out trip The man's name is Phillip Ferguson Warning, do not book any boat trip this person He's dangerous and unprofessional. To make a long, sad story shorter, we ended up with back injuries (compression fracture on the L1) , motion sickness and lots of 'aches and pains' from his careless handling of the boat The sea was not that bad that day, but Philips' boat handing kills and care proved to be honorable and outright dangerous to others. And to top is off he was completely 'clueless' on what a fly fisherman needed. Absolutely clueless Worse experience we have ever had. I won my own boat and have operated it for over 50 years from Alaska to Oregon, British Columbia, Montana and the Pacific Northwest. All of our trouble with Philip was a direct result of his carelessness, lack of concerns for safely of others, not the ocean conditions.
