We arrived at Green Parrot expecting better standard of accommodation than we got. We had a choice between 2 units, we choose the one with the loft as it had more space. Though not impressed with either. Dark, gloomy it was very delapidated and worn. The bathroom was gruesome, no hot water in shower that dribbled. The water in the taps and flushing was a horrible brown color. Not quite what we expected for $175 p/n.

Due to a cold front coming in we were not able to snorkel or spend time on the beach for first few days and found the cabin too dark to read in, even with lights on.

We ate one night at the Green Parrot - our first night - and not impressed either with the limited menu or the food quality. For vegetarian, they did try to accommodate, but not very impressive. Next night was BBQ night, i think the veggie options were beans, lettuce. We found it expensive, US pricing but certainly not US standards

The main reason for our major discontent with Green Parrot is the cost vs quality & standards received. A taxi from Green Parrot to Placencia costs $40 each way which is rediculous.

Would not recommend either Green Parrot or Placencia to anyone.

The Green Parrot is by far the best place to stay when visiting the Placencia Peninsula. The beach houses are delightful, the food great, and the staff is amazing, especially Leo who went out of his way to make our family's stay memorable. Belize is a beautiful country - try to see more than the coastal beaches. The interior of the country is stunning and a few days snorkeling off one of the cayes is a must!

My girlfriend and I spent a week at the Green Parrot, and really loved it. If you're looking for a quiet, relaxing vacation, this is a great spot. There are only 8 beach cabanas, and given that people often leave the premises for daytime activities, there are never many people around. And it's a real treat to walk down the stairs of your cabana and be on the sand just a short walk from the beach--all cabanas have an ocean view, too. The food and beverages were reasonably priced, and the staff (especially Leo, the lead staff) were friendly and helpful. There are plenty of activities in the area, so there's plenty to do if you're so inclined. All in all, this was a great week for us and we'd highly recommend this place.

This was our first visit to Belize and I would say it will not be our last. Our stay at the Green Parrot was a wonderful experience. Accommodations were very clean, comfortable and well kept. Leo and his staff did everything right to make our visit the best. The beach was right outside our door, weather was perfect, food was great. How much better can it get! If you want to really relax on a vacation this is it. Not much night life, but that's exactly what we were looking for. Someplace to get away from cell phones, computors and traffic.
