Just ask Bill. He knows the neighborhood and the neighbors. Need to rent a vehicle? Check with Bill. Want to go to the outer reef? Check with Bill. Need the refrigerator stocked when you get there? Need a delicious home cooked meal the first night you get there? Check with Bill. During our stay in May 2011, Bill wandered by... More

Bill's is the type a place i really like in a get away vacation. I'm just not really into the sterility and the closed off concrete of hotels. Give me a good condo or bungalow and I'm happier then I'll ever be in a Four Seasons. Don't get me wrong, luxury accommodations have upsides and value comes at a cost.... More

From the time we got there, Adrian and Bill proved themselves to be the ideal hosts. The cabana was exactly as described in their literature and was a great place to hang out for a week or a month. They were more than cordial and LISTENED to what you said you were interested in doing, then made excellent recommendations on... More

My wife and I stayed here for the second half of our 10 day honeymoon. We were there in early Oct, so it was the low season--we were practically the only tourists in the area. Going in the low season was great because we got a more "real" experience. Everywhere we went, we met locals who wanted to talk and... More

We landed at Placencia airport to find Bill waiting for us with Scurvy, the resident retriever. Arriving at our bungalow, we found it to be exactly as advertised- cosy, quiet, and right on a beautiful stretch of tranquil beach. Bill and Adriane were helpful and friendly, even picking up groceries to stock our fridge prior to our arrival. Area tours... More

This was our first stay at B B. It was very rustic, filled with the flavor of Placencia. There are 2 bungalows spaced apart enough for privacy. Beautiful landscaping with your very own private beach. We fed the chuckaluka's (?) bananas every morning. Bill and Adrienne live on the grounds and sees to your every need. He will even cook... More

We visited Maya Beach on the Placencia peninsula for ten wonderful days and stayed at Barnacle Bill's Beach Bungalows. What drew us to this relaxing venue was owner Adriane Taylor's fantastic coorespondance and help with travel plans BEFORE we even arrived. Knowing that her customer service was outstanding, we knew we were in for a nice, relaxing vacation. Owners Adriane... More

I looked at many places in placencia online before discovering Bills and it is always a hard choice unless u have been there before to see what u like. After spending nearly 2 weeks at bills it was exactly what I was looking for. Dont stay in Placencia town if u want privacy and Bills is only a short drive... More

My husband and I have stayed with Bill and Adriane Taylor four times now and have enjoyed every minute of every stay. We stayed at Barnacle Bill's this last time with another couple who had a very quick, quaint exchange of vows at sunrise on the 29th of May. Bill and Adriane were both up early to be a part... More
