Clean, comfortable in Placencia
The apartment is excellently located in Placencia. The owners who live above do a great job communicating. They have bikes available that got us down the town to the local beach. Lots of restaurants around and a store across the street. An extra bonus was use of the laundry downstairs. It was a big help since we were heading back into the jungle and needed to refresh our pants and long sleeves. The apartment is beautiful and comfortable. We especially appreciated the two terraces to eat and relax. Tour company picked us up onsite. Driftwood was a great choice.
This is a beautiful, clean property very close to the sidewalk in Placencia. The hosts were GREAT, check in was a breeze and the AC was cold!! They have a small but deep pool on top of it all!! I highly recommend Driftwood Gardens and will definitely stay again.
Great communication with the owners. The property is much nicer and larger than it appears in the photos. The pool is also much nicer than it appears in the photos. The location is very central and I would highly recommend. We stayed here towards the end of a two week trip to Belize and it was nice to have a full kitchen to cook some meals after eating out so often
Lovely well maintained apartment with a screened patio, pool and kitchen. Super clean, huge bed, good AC, walkable to everything in the town. The owners go out of their way to make sure you have everything you need. What more could you want. Highly recommend!
We loved every moment spent at Driftwood Gardens. It was hard to find as the signage is not obvious from the road, but either than that we had zero issues. The unit had every detail we could want from kitchen utencils to bathroom needs. The owners were friendly and gracious. We will be back one day!
Awesome spot! We loved being able to cook some and have a place close to come back to during the day. Comfy beds, nice porch and back porch right above the pool and out the back steps.

During our recent stay, we were thoroughly impressed by the cleanliness and tranquility of the accommodations. The hosts were incredibly personable, ensuring our comfort throughout our visit. What stood out were the detailed instructions provided for both the condo and local eateries, which made exploring the area a breeze. Without a doubt, we would eagerly choose to stay here again in the future.
We loved our stay at Driftwood Gardens. The hosts are lovely and so helpful, the property was great and the location is perfect. We stayed in the 2 bedroom suite- LOVED the decks. The whole vibe in Placencia was fabulous!
We had a great stay. The place easily accommodated 2 parents and 3 kids. The house had the charm of a beach house. The location was within easy walking distance to beach, grocery store, restaurants, etc. We made good use of the pool. The owners couldn’t have been nicer. We were very happy to have stayed.
We enjoyed staying here. The pool was nice to cool off. The front porch was our favorite place to relax at night - had a great breeze. You can walk anywhere in Placencia Village from here...lots of great restaurants to choose from.
Great location, clean, comfortable and the pool was refreshing. The different plants and trees gave it unique touch.

Room for three
The location is beautiful and perfect for relaxing. The owners live on site and they were so kind, and helpful. We arrived much later than we had planned but Paul stayed up to
welcome us and give us the tour. In the morning we were greeted with a loaf of fresh made bread and mangos picked straight off the tree.
We cannot compliment or recommend this enough.

Beautiful place, central Placencia location
We loved our brief stay - it was so comfortable, quiet, impeccably clean and beautifully decorated. We were welcomed by the friendly owners and even gifted a beautiful loaf of sour dough bread. We would definitely stay again!
