Beyond fishing and spa treatments, what unique experiences does The Placencia Hotel & Residences offer that truly connect us with the Belizean environment?

Expect luxury pricing, but it's well worth it. We found that a full day of guided fishing or a spa treatment could range from $150 to $300 per person. Dining at their signature restaurant is a treat, with meals typically costing $50 to $100 per person, depending on your choices.
