We booked the Private villa back in the fall of 2012, for Spring break 2013. We got back last night. We have a family of 4 adults and met my sister and her friend so there was 6 of us in the house. It is very large that we were never crowded or felt cramped. The Villa has 2 bedrooms... More

We went to Captain Jak's this past November and we had an amazing time. We stayed in the cabana by the water, where there was a nice waterfront dock with wooden chairs where we would enjoy a cup of coffee in the morning or a glass of wine in the evening. The kitchen is well equipped, we often went to... More

We felt we had found the perfect place to stay and experience the character of the village. We loved the lush tropical vegetation all around us, tidy grounds, loved the whistling of the 2 parrots, Barney, and Oliver early in the morning, the dock at the water's edge just feet away from our door, the double swing by our front...

Captain Jak's cabanas are located among lush, tropical plants. It is located on the lagoon, which affords the most amazing sunsets.

What a wonderful 3 nights we had at Captain Jak's. We just loved our room right by the dock...we sat out every morning in the comfy chairs drinking our coffee and watching the Hokey Pokey water taxi. The grounds are beautiful and the owners are just lovely, and were always helpful. Our room was small, but had everything we needed...loved... More

We came to Placencia with another couple and stayed in 3 different places. Unfortunately we were booked at Captain Jaks' for 2 stints of our holiday. The grounds are lush and lovely. The cabanas are very clean but surprisingly small and ill equipped to make a meal. Between the other couple and ourselves we were able to salvage utensils, pots... More

We loved Captain Jak's in Placencia. A truly good hideaway in Belize. We stayed for 10 days and had a wonderful time. The accommodations were great and the lush tropical views from our front porch were gorgeous. We had everything for a fantastic visit at our fingertips. We loved the nearby open air restaurants, the beach and stores. Our trips... More

We stayed in the Villa which is gorgeous! The property is full of plants, has access to the canal and walking took us to a variety of restaurants, shops, activities, and the Caribbean. All of the restaurants we visited had good food, i.e, Barefoot Bar, Omar's, Cozy Corner, Wendy's, Secret Garden, and more. I got several beautiful zirocote wood bowls... More
