I live in Belize and know Placencia pretty well and this is a real find - wonderfully landscaped gardens and beach using driftwood and plants and quirky cabanas - ours had jungle in the bathroom sets this apart in my mind from the other places along this stretch of coast line. The American owners are very pleasant, and laidback, Pool... more

This was a great getaway. We booked the oveanfront cabana and were the only guests for the first 4 days. There were a couple of unexpected surprises such as yellow water running from the tap and shower and "unswimmable" beach which did not matter. I would stay at this place again. The facilities are somewhat rustic but it's all worth... more

We stayed at the Singing Sands May 15-23. I usually go to all inclusive 5 star resorts and I travel 4 times per year. Decided to try something different because I really wanted to dive with the whale sharks and so I chose this location. I don't regret it at all. I loved the cabana we had, simple but clean.... more

This is a beautiful little Inn, on a beautiful little peninsula, both of which have seen better days. The grounds show years of passoinate collection of beach artifacts, interestingly arranged throughout the beautifully planted paths. The cabins are very small but are quite functional. Unfortunately upkeep has been poor. Mattresses are very very old and lumpy, showers are run down.... more

My husband and I just returned from a vacation to Placencia. We stayed 5 nights at the Singing Sands. This is a beautiful small resort with a warm and helpful staff, most concerned with our comfort and helpful with suggestions to make the most of our stay in the area. The grounds are full of exotic plants and the resort... more

I absolutely fell in love with this place. I actually considered buying it since it's up for sale. But having just started grad school it's not the best time to make a huge investment. The food is fabulous. One night some of the guests and I went down to Robert's Grove for a dinner, but I really missed the food... more

If you want qiuet solitude in a perfect setting, this is the place for you. If you want to be catered to, don't go here. We were at Singing Sands in the off season. We happened to be the only ones there for our 1 week stay. The breakfast was included with our room and was fresh fruit and banana... more

I fell in love with this hotel. It was paradise!! If you want to get away from life in the fast lane this is the place to go. I stayed in one of the cabanas. You wake up in the morning and the Carribean Sea is at your doorstep. The grounds are very well kept, the cabanas clean and comfortable.... more

With only a few cabanas on the property, we felt as though we were living on our own private piece of beach, with a good cook and a housekeeper. The tropical gardens are beautiful and we woke to the sounds of birds and sometimes geckos singing. Breakfast was included, the dinner menu was varied and the food always plentiful and... more
