We stayed in room 4 (room with outside window and door frames painted in pink) for 4 nights. The room has a queen size bed, 2 tables, two garden chairs, 3 barstools, 1 couch, a wall shelf and an unenclosed small bar hangers to hang clothes with but no closet. The kitchenette, dining space and bedroom form one large room. The kitchenette has a fridge, microwave, toaster, coffee machine (no filters) and a sink, liquid dish soap, pots and a frying pan, dishes (plates and bowls), utensils for 4 people and a portable electric cook top with 2 heating elements. There are 2 ceiling fans, one over the bed and one in the kitchenette.||The A/C is supplied with electricity only from 6pm-8am. The owner charges US$15 per day extra if you want to have the A/C running during the day.||No toilet paper is allowed to be thrown in the toilet and has to be disposed in the bin provided. The owner explained that the ground water level is only approx. 1.5 ft deep and therefore the plumbing has a very shallow angle and thus can clog easily. ||The bathroom has a shower. Only complimentary soap is provided, no shampoo or conditioner.||The housed has a small 3rd level sun deck with obstructed views of the ocean and bay. It is only a 3min walk to a beautiful and uncrowded beach where you can swim. We almost had the beach to ourselves. If you walk South on the beach then you will come to a couple of restaurants. If you walk all the way to the Southern tip of the peninsula, then you will find even better swimming with clearer water (and more people) near the pier. ||There is a supermarket about a 1min walk from the hotel. If you walk down the road towards the town of Placencia then you will pass several more supermarkets, other stores and restaurants. It will take 10-15min to reach the end of the road at the Placencia pier.||During the day, you can hear noise from the street as the hotel is located on the only road in and out of Placencia – it is not a busy road, however. Traffic noise died down shortly after sunset.||The wifi signal in the room is weak and my iPhone lost the signal frequently whereas my Microsoft Surface kept the connection nicely. An excellent wifi signal is available near the office on the 2nd floor.||Long story short: This is a nice and affordable hotel in Placencia. It is in close proximity to the beach and if street noise during the day does not bother you, then this hotel may be for you.
