The Moonflower Suite: A Seaside Retreat w/ Private Beach- 9% Hotel Tax Included!

Great accommodation, Casey and Joyce super helpful, great location. Excellent AC! You can walk everywhere or rent a golf cart or bike. Only thing missing is a swimming pool (you can’t swim off beach because of sea grass) and a bbq. BBQ was sorely missed. Otherwise it was a fab trip.

We loved our place and the town of Placencia. So relaxing and lovely.

The home has recently been renovated and it is beautiful, with lots of personal touches to make it very homey. There were seven of us traveling together so we ended up renting the entire house, which was perfect! Plenty of room for the various groups to each have their own space. The house was immaculate and the grounds-crew worked daily to rake the sand and keep things nice. Loads of beach chairs, hammocks to encourage lounging and the onsite laundry was a nice perk so we always had fresh towels. Cindy was very accessible and answered our calls and questions about things we needed. The location was perfect, right on the Placencia sidewalk so we were able to get to grocery stores, fruit stands, restaurants and little shops easily each day. There are plenty of beach chairs and hammocks to encourage lounging, and the property offered equal parts sun and shade to accommodate everyone's preference throughout our stay. One suggestion--it would have been nice to have a grill on the property so we could prepare meals on site.

The only thing that was a bummer during our stay--that wasn't really the fault of the owners or anyone on site--was the amount of seagrass and trash that washed up on shore the first few days. It really prevented us from enjoying the beautiful beach right outside our door, which was the reason we picked that location. We had to go find other cleaner beaches until the "stuff" cleared out, which it eventually did. It really is a sad commentary on how people treat the planet to see all the trash wash up on shore and spoil the natural beauty of the area.

I would highly suggest Rumfish, Tipsy Tuna and Barefoot Bar for evenings out. We enjoyed them all. Maya Beach Bistro is a drive, but was lovely. We spent one afternoon at Mariposa as well when we couldn't use our beach, and as long as we ordered food/drinks, they didn't mind that we used their pool and beach. My favorite thing of the week however, was the full-day excursion to Ranguana Caye. It was a postcard perfect private island and the snorkeling was amazing and the BBQ lunch was delicious!

Our family, including 2 small grandchildren had a perfect stay at The Moonflower-top floor condo.

The apt was beautifully decorated, clean, bright and sunny with an outstanding sweeping view of sandy beach and ocean. Great location, just close enough to the center of activity and just far enough to feel as if you have your own quiet beach.

Cindy, the manager, was always available and helpful. She was able to solve my booking mistakes instantly and I was most thankful.

We can't wait to return to The Moonflower!

Thank you, Casey and Cindy

We LOVED our stay at Moonflower. The location is perfect - it is right on the beach and it is walking distance to everything. We didn't need our car at all. It is a short walk down the beach or boardwalk to restaurants and bars, grocery stores, shops, etc. The home itself is beautiful, modern, immaculately clean, and very well equipped. We had everything we needed - tons of cooking supplies, plenty of soft bath towels, beach towels, wonderfully hot showers, a TV with several movie channels, and a huge balcony for relaxing and looking at the sea. The beds were super comfortable and the A/C kept us nice and cool the entire time. Communication with Casey was great, and Cindy, the property manager, is so responsive and helpful. We mentioned to Cindy that the only thing missing from Moonflower was a hammock - and she brought one right over! We were swinging comfortably on the beach within an hour!

It truly is an amazing place to stay. We recommend wholeheartedly to anyone staying in Placencia. We will be back!
