This establishment is situated at the very tip of the Placencia Peninsula, in Belize, C.A. far enough away from the main drag but close enough to walk to night time entertainment. We stayed in the 1 bedroom condo which was spacious and clean with a/c. Steps away from the calmest water I have ever experienced. A few minutes spent gazing... More

We adored our little cabana! The cabana did not have air conditioning but we found even with temperatures in the 90's by day the room was wonderful with just the fans. The Cabana was spacious and offered all we we would need complete with a spectacular view. We had stayed in a different hotel the night before and found it... More

My husband and I stayed in one of the cabanas on the beach right on the water. The view was amazing, and the staff were friendly and helpful. The cabana was quaint and a perfect size for the two of us. Everything was very clean from the cabana to the beach to the Crow's Nest, which served up welcoming, complimentary... More

The South Waters Resort is at the end of a road in a quiet and peaceful area of Placencia. We stayed in one of the cabanas right next to the beach. It is a great place to stay with a fabulous bed and a little kitchen. There is enough space on the veranda to enjoy your stay and relax in... More

The owners and staff are absolutely top notch. They are very friendly and helpful. They booked some great tours and a sailing excursions for us. The restaurant has good food for a reasonable price and is comfy. The condos and cabanas are clean and conveniently located close to shopping.

Very helpful and friendly personnel on staff. Trips can be arranged from there. Located on end of the walkway so very quiet with few people passing. Excellent restaurant on site for meals, or drinks. Short walk will get you to the local store for supplies or great restaurants, and best beaches in Belize. Always felt secure while sitting on porch... More

We really enjoyed our stay at the South Waters Resort. It is such a beautiful spot with a fantastic view. We stayed in a condo which has everything you need kitchen, spacious bathroom and a cozy bedroom and living area. It feels like home. On the veranda you have a stunning view over the sea. And in the morning you... More

Our family of four stayed comfortably at the South Waters, with a balony and a view of the water. Our kitchen enabled us to make breakfast in the morning and smoothies with fresh fruit available on the main road close by. We loved being close to town and on a quiet beach (best of both worlds). The staff were wonderful,... More

This location at the tip of Placencia allows for the best sunrise and sunset views in the area. While the beach path in front is also a walkway for some people everyone passing was extremely friendly. From here you can walk to any restaurant and also the Nite Winds Tours office near the Shell gas station. While you are there... More
