The comfy shaded veranda, great pool, welcoming ambience, fantastic views from all rooms, made for a pleasurable stay. Josephines cooking, Virigilio's ability to read our minds,Frank's cold draft beer and Joyce's good humour, advice and... More

We chose this B & B as our 3rd and final place to stay during our recent trip to Belize. What a great choice we made!! Joyce and Frank were very welcoming, their property is charming and peaceful. A wonderful pool to enjoy and cool off in on those hot afternoons, a lovely beach, cleaned daily by none other than... More

We certainly would return and recommend Joyce and Frank's Bed & Breakfast. While planning our trip they were so helpful, telling us the best way to go and what to do and not to do, Quiet place and loved having breakfast every morning made by Josephine (I truly fell in love with her). Great places to walk to for Dinner... More

We loved this place and recommend it to anyone who loves the tropics and a great time! We can't tell you enough about how helpful and friendly Joyce and Frank were...always wanted everything to be perfect for us. The food was great and was all made from scratch. The local fruits are fabulous and all the eggs are free range;... More

I can't give this B&B five stars because, in my book, that would indicate that everything was absolutely perfect. While our stay wasn't "perfect," it was absolutely wonderful. Joyce & Frank's B&B is located on the beautiful stretch of Maya Beach in Placencia, Belize. The grounds are extremely well kept, the pool is amazing, the views are spectacular, the private... More

A beautiful place and great hostesses that are very helpful! Just wish they had better, softer beds :) Then I'd be able to give it a better rating. More

Mary, thank you for taking the time to post a review! I remember your husband commenting how great the beds are at the Marriott. Please remember that Belize is still a third world country! One cannot obtain that caliber of mattress here; they must be shipped in and are subject to import duty. Your $95 room at the Marriott had... More

Despite the beautiful location on Maya Beach - we would not stay again. This place needs work. We booked a cottage - B1. It had such a strong smell of sewage that we moved to a different room after one night. No soap or shampoo or glasses were provided - no ice either there was a fridge full of water... More

Per your review; "the amenities were great, honor system for drinks, free bikes, kayaks, snorkel gear and fishing poles". You also said the staff was great, there were plenty of plush towels. The management indicated that they want to know if anything isn't right, so it can be corrected. As for "the smell"; our neighbor's septic tank was allowing odors... More

We stayed in the Beach House and it was our home away from home, more luxurious than ever anticipated in a third world country. This is our second visit but this time we brought the family. My wife and I had rejuvenating escape from the pressures of the modern world as we stepped back to the relaxed pace of Belizean... More
