Other Information

If you are looking for a "Cancun type experience", then you would not want to visit Placencia. Placencia looks much like it did 100 years ago. It is a small fishing community that is very relaxed.There is only one narrow road down the peninsula from Maya Beach to the 'town" of Placencia.Most of our guests live by the sun - when the sun gets up they do, and when it goes down they retire for the night. Dont worry about the bright lights of the resorts blocking out the star light, you can sit on the beach at night and marvel at the wonders of the constellations.

Directions

Best and fastest is to fly to the Placencia airport, where reserved guests are met by the resort staff and transported about 20 minutes north to the Green Parrot.If you drive from Belize City plan on about a 3 hour drive, much of which is on dirt roads. Jeep-type rentals are available, but tend to be expensive. Note that there are vehicle rentals now in Placencia if you want to rent a car locally.

Discounts Offered
