Lydia's Guesthouse has 8 two-person rooms, and a few bungalows (I did not stay in bungalows so this review does not pertain to them). The rooms are pretty spartan (beds, fan, nightstand). A big plus for Lydia's is that there is a refrigerator in the guesthouse, plus there is an attached kitchen. There is also a front patio area with chairs and hammock, then the same thing on the second floor as well. There are 2 shared bathrooms downstairs, and 2 upstairs. The kitchen is limited but functional. Unfortunately it seems guests have a habit of leaving food in the fridge after they've left. It wasn't "gross", but it was inconvenient. There is also wireless internet service, or you can use a guest computer for a small fee. Lydia herself is very nice, helpful, and knowledgeable.

I saw a few roaches, but none in the rooms or in the bathroom. I would blame their presence on Lydia's though; it is Central America, there are roaches.

Lydia's Guesthouse is exactly that - a no frills house with small, but clean and comfortable rooms with windows that open up to the warm, caribbean breeze. Lydia will welcome you in and show you your room, bring you towels, then pretty much leave you be to enjoy the laid back lifestyle of Placencia. Spend your time reading in one of her hammocks on the porch, walking down to the beach, or just relaxing and talking to other guests. Lydia has some rules, but nothing that will prevent you from having a good time. We did not reserve a room and were lucky enough to get the last room available by just walking up, but I recommend calling ahead because like most places in Placencia, Lydia's fills up quickly each day! Enjoy!
