Robert's Grove Beach Resort - Placencia

A quiet place a couple miles(30 minute bike ride) outside of the main Placencia village. Complimentary bikes were a big plus. Staff was very friendly and accommodating. Food was delicious, especially sweet mamas tortillas! We would definitely stay here again.

Awesome waterfront resort. There are three restaurants onsite and they are all excellent. We booked a regular vista room and got upgraded to the one bedroom with two separate balconies opening out to the water view. Staffs are extremely helpful and went over and beyond to help us. They even packed us breakfast the night before because we were leaving very early the last day there. The only draw back is we were staying at the shoulder seasons so the snorkeling trip that we booked got canceled just the night before due to not enough required people. So make sure to have a backup plan or drive to the village ( about 15 min away) and book one right away.

Roberts Grove was nice, a little rustic--but we liked that and the Staff were very helpful and friendly---especially the concierge staff. We booked trips each day, going multiple locations across the Country. The Snorkeling trips were both great, water was crystal clear and the Reefs in Belize were very healthy, the best we've seen in the past 11 years; and we've been to Bermuda, Bahamas, Cayman, St. Martin and Puerto Rico. Belize was the best by far.

Wow - this place was truly a resort in Placencia! The pictures online don't do it justice - there are beautiful swimming pools, a long dock that leads to a covered cabana and bar area, amazing beachfront and the rooms are beautiful, air conditioned and clean as well as having cable TV and free wifi access. I went on a girls trip with Mom and sister, and we were all so pleased with our entire stay. The staff was extremely kind and helpful, offering to help us set up tours and expeditions, or just showing us around town without us even asking or compensating them for it. Just being genuinely nice! The came every evening with warm fresh towels and chocolate too! The restaurant was great, had an amazing view of the ocean and just a few feet off the sand. It was clean and we had the best dinner there by the head chef who cooked our meal right at our table - steak topped with crème de shrimp, prosciutto wrapped asparagus and potato croquette! The lobster, shrimp and ceviche were also unreal. This is great place for business, families, honeymooners or a friends getaway - there is something to do for all. If I had to give any downfalls, which is difficult to do after such a pleasant stay, is that it's not walking distance to town, but you could bike, take a taxi or their shuttle bus, or rent a car or golf cart. But who needs to go to town when you have a beautiful place like this to stay!

September is the slow season in Belize. If travelling during this time, expect some tours and excursions to be cancelled. Most tours require a minimum # of people (ie. four+). Robert's Grove has a very friendly, welcoming staff. Tourism is their business and they know that well. The daily contential breakfast definitely starts the day out right - fresh fruit, tasty bread,bold coffee. The resort provides bicycles to pedal into the main village of Placencia (4.5 miles). Or renting a golf cart is another option as well. After some scheduling adjustments, we enjoyed two three tours hosted by Robert's Grove. The two days of scuba-diving were amazing - lots of marine wildlife, new scuba equipment, and great visibility. Our Mayan ruin trip to Caracol was quite lengthy - approx. ten hours total on the road. Again worth it, but have some patience on the road. Overall, an awesome trip to re- charge the batteries...
