Advantages: Cheaper that the other beach resorts/ great beach Disadvantages: Not that easy to get to.
...caye attatched to the land. Placencia is a down to earth travellers beach resort, which has not yet become as over run by tourists to as great an extent as San Pedro and Caye Caulker, the better known cayes have. So ok it isn't particually easy to get to Placencia... 6 hours down the unpaved Southern Highway followed by an hours boat ride in a decidedly dodgy boat may not appeal, but it is well worth the hassle! Belize is not known for its beaches ... ...should easily be able to find a reasonable double room for 10 usd/ 2per/ night- not bad for a beach haven!
Don't go to Placencia if you're expecting 5* luxury- you won't find it. It is just a great place to relax, top up on the tan, and hang out... ...
