My Stay at Turtle Inn, Placencia
Our stay at Turtle Inn was an incredible experience! From the warm and helpful staff to the beautiful surroundings, everything exceeded our expectations. Here are some highlights and a few suggestions:
- Staff and Service: The staff were simply amazing, always going above and beyond to make our stay exceptional. They were warm, accommodating, and remembered our names, which added a personal touch.
- Accommodation: The cottages and villas are spacious, beautifully furnished, and offer stunning views of the garden, pool, or sea. The rustic yet elegant décor provided a cozy and inviting atmosphere.
- Amenities: We loved the outdoor pool and the spa. The communal lounge was a great place to relax, and the free Wi-Fi in public areas was convenient. The private beach was a perfect spot for unwinding.
- Food: The food was exceptional. We particularly enjoyed the variety of restaurants on the property, especially the pizza restaurant. The complimentary breakfast was delicious and filling.
- Activities: The tour desk was extremely helpful in arranging activities such as diving, sailing, and hiking. We had an amazing day snorkeling!
- Location: The property is conveniently located, with several restaurants, bars, and dive shops just a 5-minute drive away in the village of Placencia. The proximity to the Placencia Airstrip made travel easy.
Suggestions:
- It would be great if the units had more lighting at night, as it can be a bit dark inside.
- During our stay in August, the rooms were quite hot and muggy. The small air conditioner struggled to keep us cool at night, affecting our sleep. A more efficient cooling system would be appreciated.
- While the shell phone is a neat idea, it raises some privacy concerns as the front desk staff can listen in at any time. It would be better if it was more secure.
- Having the beach bar open a bit later, perhaps until 9pm, would be a nice addition.
Overall, our stay at Turtle Inn was fantastic. It’s a beautiful, relaxing resort with everything you need for a perfect getaway. We highly recommend it to anyone looking for a serene and luxurious vacation spot.
