When Belize opened up for local tourism, we made a dash for The Ellysian. As residents in Belize, we frequently visit Placencia; however, we've recently become acquainted with the Ellysian, and we've fallen in love with the place and the exceptional staff members. First of all, "To be or not to be" is our favorite unit. Our son adores the pool and the fact that the property is in front of the beach. I, however, have come to appreciate the exceptional leadership and management of Chantel. In attention to clearly caring about the staff, she cares about the guests. We are always grateful for the time she takes to talk to our 7 year old and to expose him to the wonders and beauty of Belize. Josh always exhibits the highest level of professionalism and attention. Erica is the friendliest and most astute drink mixologist in Placencia! Ms. Loretta and Ms. Bethany both are attentive to the rooms and to our every need. Many thanks to the Ellysian for always making our staycations memorable! We look forward to returning to Placencia soon!…

Hotel's Favorite
My wife and I stayed for 10 nights and absolutely loved everything about The Ellysian. The staff was warm and welcoming, routinely going out of their way to help us with whatever we needed. The rooms were spacious and docorated in what I would call "posh caribbean" with dark wood finishes, a mini fridge, huge stand-up shower, and beautiful views of the bright blue sea. Outside is soft sandy beaches and an infinity pool with plenty of seating at both. Lots of coconuts on the palms to enjoy fresh water, then fill with your favorite drink from the pool bar, which incidentally has the best bartenders (Miguel and Mario) and freshest drinks in town. There's also a very nice bathroom outside right next to the pool area so you don't have to go back upstairs to get rid of processed beer. We also booked an excursion package with them, which made it very easy to do ruins, caves, and snorkeling. There's a restaurant on the top floor with amazing 360° views and excellent food for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. You can also have the food brought to the pool, but you'll miss out on the views. Finally, you cannot beat the Ellysian's location. It's right on the sidewalk in the heart of the town of Placencia. No need to rent golf carts, take taxis, or have a rental car because you can literally walk anywhere in town in 10 minutes or less. My favorite nightspots (Tipsy Tuna and Barefoot) are three buildings away on the sidewalk or beach. All things considered, you'll be hard pressed to find a better place in Placencia so I highly recommend staying here...you will not regret it!…

Hi Chris & Michelle, We truly appreciate the awesome review. Thank you! Our brilliant team is always willing to go above and beyond to ensure our guests have a memorable experience. As such, we are happy that we were able to exceed your expectations. We are pleased that you were able to relish in our oversized bedroom, en-suite bathroom, and floor to ceiling glass doors complete with a veranda to enjoy the morning's sunrise. Muna Rooftop Restaurant on our 4th floor offering unique tastes and bold flavors was able to please your pallets. Furthermore, finding delight in all the unique pleasures our hotel has to offer - beach toys to create amazing memories, bicycles to explore the charming village and sipping on our signature drinks at The Trap Pool Bar. It was an absolute pleasure to host you both, and we look forward to seeing you again at The Ellysian Boutique Hotel. All the best,

The rooms are give names not numbers. Ours was "To Be or Not To Be." It was on the second floor looking out over the sidewalk. Not very noisy like in San Pedro. The sidewalk makes it very easy to get to anywhere you might want to go without dealing with traffic. There is also a grocery store right there at the street so you can keep your drinks and snacks fully stocked. The room was more like a suite with a very large living room/kitchen area that has plenty of room for 4 people and even comes with all the plates and things for dinner for 4 right there at the bar. The bathroom is very large and just the shower can handle 4 people at once if you really want to. The bedroom was spacious and very comfortable. The pool area is very nice right on the beach, with a bar right there. It gets lots of sun early and shade in the afternoon. The restaurant is up on the roof and it's a long walk up the stairs since there is no elevator in the building. The view from the top is great but the food is not cheap and not a great selection.…

We stayed at The Ellysian during our week long vacation and couldn’t have asked for more! We absolutely loved it! The suite rooms are huge - the house keeper keeps it sparkling clean, the beachfront is serene, and the location is second to none! You are right on the beach and sidewalk and close to all the restaurants, bars, and a grocery store! However, what pushed it over the top was the people who work there! They are so friendly and helpful - especially Jean! She helped us contact the dive shop multiple days when the weather was questionable and always checked in on us! We especially loved our nightly notes left for us! We highly recommend staying here and will be back!

My wife and I have been to Placencia many times. The Ellysian is a beautiful small hotel with an unbelievable view of the ocean. The staff is very helpful and respectful. The rooms are very well maintained and clean. This hotel should be on everyone's bucket list.
