Have been to Captain Jak's twice this year and can't wait to go back. Caption Jaks offers accomodations that are affordable for the single traveller, couples or families - which makes it unique in and of itself. The grounds are beautifully landscaped, all accomodations are kept clean and are very charming. the biggest sell, however, is the owners - Lucky... more

I'm overdue in writing this review of Captain Jak's. I have now had two stays at Captain Jak's (seven and fourteen days) this year, and am in the process of arranging a stay for the end of the year -- that's how much I liked this place. If you've decided to give Placencia a try, you should seriously think about... more

Captain Jak's was recommended to me by a friend of mine who stayed there in Jan. 2009. He spoke highly of it and he wasn't kidding! The owners, Erin and Lucky, are the best hosts who make you feel right at home and will go above and beyond to make sure your stay there is everything it can be. We... more

My husband and I have never ventured far from Texas, so this trip was a first for us in many ways. First passport and first trip out of the US.

The cabanas themselves were clean and had a full kitchenette. I was surprised and happy to see some little extras that I usually don't... more

We arrived for a week long stay at Captain Jak's and were very charmed with the owner Lucky and his wife. We fished off the dock (ate what we caught), went fishing, snorkeling, beach relaxing,eat at all the local spots, and really enjoyed experiencng the people and culture of the Placencia Village. The flowers and birds got our attention and... more

Erin and Lucky were so helpful to us when we arrived; we had had an issue with our rental car, and they went above and beyond to help us out. They were very friendly and helpful with suggestions for places to eat and things to do. The cabana we had was a little cramped, but had a full kitchen, lagoon... more

This resort surpassed my expectations. While admittedly, I was looking for a bargain, I certainly wouldn't comprise a bargain for discomfort from any perspective. First, everything inside and outside is spic and span which is tops on the list. The owners are personable and go beyond to accommodate guests. From hosting sailing tours to tasting the best seafood (lobsters so... more
