I had an amazing Birthday long weekend. The breakfast was top notch. You actually get to order from a menu and it isn't a buffet. That was something that was good for us. The rooms were very clean and cleaned daily. The option of the plaza was great. We do share a pool with the hotel next door but it wasn't bad at all. Besides one of the security guys yelling at us from moving the beach shares and not lining them up like he wanted them. Everything was fine. Some of the beach chairs had bird poo and he wasn't happy that we moved them around to get cleaner ones. LOL Besides that everything was Great!!

Good hotel for a good price. The rooms felt modern and clean. And the staff is very attentive . A few cons or FYIs if you will: -They do have music on the weekends that goes to around 10pm so if you go to bed before then, you may have trouble falling asleep. -They have a small restaurant on site which has “free” breakfast for guests and the food is pretty good. You order off a menu, not buffet and anything outside of what the small portion they give you is an additional charge which you get surprised with at the end of your stay. They don’t tell you until you are about to check out. For instance , you get either juice or coffee included . Not both. If you want both , extra charge. Ask for a substitution, extra charge or no go. -Also be prepared when it comes to potty time - you cannot flush toilet paper down the toilet. Yes, even for #2. All paper must go in the trash can next to the toilet. -You have use of the neighbor departs pool which is quaint but nice and relaxing. Although we were kicked out due to them “treating” the pool. Mind you, no sign was put up to let us know to NOT use the pool. That was a fun itchy night . So please check with the people at the Mayan hotel on pool use before getting in.

La Placita Inn is a beautiful property in a great location at West Bay. It is in within walking distance to numerous restaurants, bars, dive shops, gift shops, and grocery/liquor stores. The beach and pool are beautiful! We ate the complimentary breakfast at La Placita’s own restaurant every morning; it was delicious! All of the staff are very friendly and amazing, especially Jesse at the front desk and Edward at the restaurant. Highly recommend!

Cute hotel with super friendly staff. Short walk to the beach and shops. Breakfasts were yummy. Bed was very comfy. Only issue was the noise (loud guests and loud music). We would stay again.

Love the location, as so much is nearby. Beach, pool, dining. And the staff is top notch!! Liked it so much this was the second year we stayed there. Might even be a 3peat:) Water pressure was a little under than last year, but that wouldn't keep us from going back. I just cannot say enough good things about this place!! Well done everybody!!

I’ll look for a different place next time

I booked 4 rooms for our group through Expedia. The water is amazing, the beach is perfect, the people are fantastic. My only complaint is 50% of the rooms we had didn’t have any hot water in the showers. You don’t spend that much on a room and not have hot water. We were pretty disappointed about that. When we let management know, we got the “I’m so sorry.” crap. When you drop the ball with no hot water, you make it up to the guests. That’s the way to do business. We got nothing. Nothing was offered for the trouble at all. In addition to not having any hot water, the facility had some kind of entertainment going on and music blared until 9:45 p.m. That’s not what I wanted to deal with after traveling all day. A little peace and quiet would have nice. Instead, we had to endure hours of annoying music with bass, so loud, that it moved the floors. It was extremely annoying. The bed was comfy and the room was nice and cold but the music was horrible.

What do we like about this property? For us it's perfect. The same friendly staff have been there year after year with us and know us well. Before I even need to ask, based upon previous stays, the staff have already arranged our transportation for us. They make attempts to put us in the same suites we've stayed in so it feels like we are coming home to the island. This is a boutique hotel with not many rooms. This makes it so we end up spending time with the other guests while lying around the plaza and we now have many friends we see each year at the same time. This hotel has an arrangement with the resort next door to allow guests access to many swimming pools and beach chairs with service. We feel like we are visiting our second home, a condominium on the beach, when we stay at the La Placita.
