I stayed at Saks between Xmas and New Years. When bookingt the place, we were told that only the restaurant would be under construction. In reality, everything was under construction except 2 of the buildings. We could hear hammering all day. The grounds had been dug up and lacked lighting to walk through out night. Construction on the pool was... more

I am inspired to write after reading the "delayed honeymooners" story. We had the same problem exactly 2 weeks before! Spent 1 nt in a seaside cabana, which was lovely, then moved to the 'snell house' (?) cause we wanted a kitchen. In the day it was breathtaking, at night the swarm of soldier ants took our breathaway!--- Thousands! we... more

We initially had a property off the resort and felt unsafe being three girls and reading the previous reviews about theft. However, upon our arrival the manager was kind enough to switch us to a cabana on the beach for the same amount of money. The rooms were immaculate and the beds were firm and comfortable. We had a hammock... more

My husband and I celebrated our fifth trip to Belize at Saks in Placencia. We spent a while researching where to stay as there doesn't seem to be a shortage of lovely resorts but chose Saks. We are looking forward to planning a return trip to Saks next year. This was our first trip to Placencia and we just loved... more

My wife and I, both well-travelled, arranged for 10 nights stay last March in one of the "lagoon-side" properties immediately across the road from and "managed by" Sak's. We stayed in Palmetto Place, a two-story guest house with a large screened verandah, huge tiled bathroom, fully-furnished kitchen, a living/dining area opening onto the screened verandah, double futon in the living... more

I stayed at saks for 4 days and had a fantastic time! The room was very clean and comfortable and the resort was so rustic and natural it felt like it was my own place. This was one of the most relaxing beaches I have ever been too!!! The hammocks set right by the sea were so comfortable I was... more

me and my husband went to Belize after friends had recommended it. We wanted less flash than Cancun or Los Cabos. We decided on SAKS after hearing it was owned by a Canadian couple. We stayed in the Los Portico Condos and they were beautiful! Brand new, great value compared to Turtle Inn. We were able to cook in the... more

We visited Saks and were amazed by the hospitality and service provided to us. We have 2 small children and the staff was really accomodating. I felt completely safe and relaxed the whole time. The beaches were breathe taking and the food was excellent. The resort is owned by a Canadian couple who were quite delightful and seemed to genuinely... more

If you want sterile accomodations and obsequious staff, go to Miami or something. SAKS has a staff that will be as delightful to you as you are to them. I cannot say enough about the people (bartender, front desk, cafe servers, tour guides) who became honest-to-goodness friends during our week there. Breakfast at SAKS was probably the best in town,... more
