George and Lisa are very nice and helpful. The location is great. The upper level rooms are small and basic. The lower level, the beach level, is dreary at best. The place shows the challenges of maintaining an old building on the beach. More

If you are looking to spend more time on the beach than in your room, this is the perfect choice. The beach is right outside the door! The modest rooms are comfortable and very clean. Lisa & George are generous hosts and will point you in the right direction for restaurants, tours and activities. They provide morning coffee, beach towels,... More

Westwinds is ok, not awful but not great either. My overall experience was poor and I would seriously question how genuine the other trip advisor reviews are (which were the reason I booked my vacation!). I wouldn't return and I wouldn't recommend. More

Our group of student teachers from Miami University in Ohio were on a Thanksgiving holiday away from our then-home of Belmopan. Lisa was so hospitable in giving all 11 of us a place to stay for four nights! She and George included us in their Thanksgiving dinner, and it felt just like home. The hotel is the most American-like of... More

First of all, George and Lisa are great. Their laid-back, inviting, and friendly demeanors made us feel extremely comfortable during our stay at the Westwind. The hotel is set up on a spectacular beachfront location with a perfect place to relax and enjoy the Belizean sun, people-watch, and even snorkel and swim. The hotel is also centrally located making it... More

I think it was the day before I arrived in Placencia that I browsed a Fodor's book on Belize and went through the list of accomodations in Placencia. It sounded like the Westwind Inn was exactly what I was looking for and happily it was. I wanted a quiet and clean place on the beach with owners who could give... More

My wife and I arrived in Placencia from the Honduras ferry with no reservations and wandered randomly upon the Westwind. We were greeted by Lisa and picked the room on the side of the hotel. Initially we were only going to stay in Placencia for a day or two but thanks to the wonderful location and generosity of George and... More

After getting off the Ragga King for three days, we walked down the sidewalk looking for a place to stay and a shower. The Westwind has a little gate with a sidewalk taking you through their beautiful garden to the hotel on the beach. The owner was so nice and quickly got us settled in. She came back with banana...
