Wonderful!
Although it rained or was overcast most of our trip, we really enjoyed staying at the Swan Villas. Montse was very friendly and helpful regarding information and tips. The architecture and colors of the Villas were so cool; the pool is beautiful. It is a 5.5 mile drive to the town but there are several really good restaurants within walking distance. We chose to rent a car so we could travel to some of the sights on our own; best decision we made because renting a golf cart for almost the same price would've been pointless bc of the rain. Not sure driving a golf cart almost 6 miles to the town would've been our idea of fun anyway. I would definitely stay at the Villas again.

Fabulous location
We thoroughly enjoyed our recent stay at Swan Villas. The property is wonderful, clean, well maintained and located in a great location. It is about 6 miles from the town of Placencia which makes it quiet and away from the business of town. There are restaurants close enough to walk as well as a store. The unique architecture of the building made for a unique experience. Very serene and relaxing. The pool was fabulous especially after a long day of sightseeing. Because it is just for the property we were often the only ones in it and at most there were four of us enjoying the sunset from the pool. Montse and Rudy were very helpful and provided us with activity ideas as well as restaurant recommendations that were fabulous. If learning something new is of interest I recommend the Bunches of Bananas farm tour. Though a bit of a drive to Belmopan area, the ATM cave is a must see. Stopping along the way at St Herman's cave and the Blue Hole were highlights as well as Kropf's bakery.

Fun architecture
Great place and well managed. Love the pool. Far enough from town to be very quiet at night.

Awesome!
The Swan Villas were very much so exceeding of our expectations. The place itself was very unique and comfortable and above and beyond neat. They had everything we could have wanted including kayaks for us to use. Also, Rudy was very knowledgeable and full of advice and information to make our stay amazing. Awesome place and I would recommend it to anybody who is traveling to Placencia.

Beach!
Great studio unit located right at Infinity Bay. Located on the best strip of beach with the coral reef just a short swim from shore - truly amazing. Restaurants and a small grocery store are a short walk. Property was well maintained with great staff and security. Owner provided excellent communication and always responded promptly if we had a question. Unit was everything we needed for a great vacation in West Bay and we can't wait to return!
