Placencia is the second most popular tourist destination located in Southern Belize. It is located on a 16 mile long peninsula that is surrounded by the Placencia Lagoon on one side and the Caribbean Sea on the other. It is much smaller, less congested and more laid back than Ambergris Caye / San Pedro. Being on a peninsula and not an island, Placencia provides easy access to the Belize Rainforest and many activities on the mainland like Mayan Ruins, waterfalls, zip lining and cave tubbing to name a few. Placencia offers numerous restaurants, small shops and bars and is home to famous Placencia Sidewalk and is the perfect place for an amazing Caribbean vacation.

All international flights coming into Belize land at the Belize City Airport (BZE). Our full time concierge will work with you to arrange transportation from BZE to the property. Getting from BZE to the villa is easy with 3 options available.

Option 1 is to take a short (approximately 30 minute) local commuter flight from BZE to the Placencia Airstrip where you will be met by one of the Gecko Properties staff and taken directly to your villa. Our concierge will work with you to book these flights once you have your international flights booked and locked in.

Option 2 is to take a van shuttle from BZE to the villa. The driver will meet you outside of baggage claim. The drive from BZE to the villa is around 2.5 hours. The roads are all paved and a good portion of the drive is on the beautiful Hummingbird Highway that goes through the Maya Mountains. Our concierge will work with you to get this booked again once you have your international flights booked

Option 3 is to rent a vehicle at BZE and make the drive down to the villa yourself. There are numerous rental car agencies right across the parking lot from baggage claim including Hertz Avis and Crystal Car Rental a larger local car rental company. You would just need to go online to book and secure a vehicle prior to arrival.

Balam House
This was our first time to Placencia, and Balam House felt like a private oasis. The pool was wonderful and you could sit and read and look at the ocean over the pool. The staff was FANTASTIC!! Everyone was very helpful and personable. We had Salvador make us breakfast, lunch, and dinner for two days of our trip. All the food was delicious! The house was extremely clean and it’s very spacious. I would highly recommend staying here! We were there for our honeymoon, and we are already planning our next trip!!

House is Beautiful
I stayed here with two of my gf’s for my 33rd birthday. The house is beautiful and exactly as pictured. Aracelli was our housekeeper, she was there every morning to clean & kept the house, our rooms and beds immaculate. Brittany was our chef and the food was AMAZING. We ate all meals at the house except dinner one night & one day for lunch when we went on our excursion. Pool was great and its great for photos. We booked our excursions through The day before leaving the operations manager bought me over a bottle of Moet champagne. The concierge Erika was great up until right before we were leaving, I contacted her to see how we could leave & the chef could get in & i never received a reply so we were stuck in the house the night before leaving. The morning of our departure she never communicated with me about departure times or plans. We only heard anything from our housekeeper even when the driver was 15 min late. Zero communication from her. After leaving never heard from her for a check in or anything. Thats the reason i gave communication 3 stars. Other than that she was great with communication. I gave location of the house 4 stars only because its very far from the “nightlife” its not much just some bars but we only went one night because it gets dark so early due to no daylight savings time so we were scared to drive the golf cart to the other end of the peninsula. Overall the stay was superb i have no real complaints at all!
