Clean and simple room, comfortable bed, and bathrooms that were always kept spotless. The full kitchen allowed us to prepare meals, rather than eat out all the time. Lydia was a gracious host and made us feel very much at home. I will definitely return.

OK, no big comfort, but what do you need comfort for, when a sunny beach is almost right at your doorstep? Guest kitchen available, free Wifi, hammocks (a bit run down, bring your own if you want more comfort) and friendly owner.

This is a bit of a walk up the sidewalk but worth it. The rooms and shared bathrooms were clean. Lydia can help you book any tour or flight. There is a shared kitchen to put your food in the fridge or cook your own meals. It was a geat place to talk to other travellers. Bottled water is included... More

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 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
