    We can't say enough good things about the Laru Beya Resort! We had a wonderful week long stay in this all-inclusive resort and enjoyed every minute of it. The staff was so warm and friendly and learned all our names very quickly and made sure we had everything we needed to make our stay enjoyable. Belize is an international dark sky location and I was able to shoot this amazing video right on the beach outside my room! We're definitely going back to Laru Beya!

    Heaven on earth. Great resort. Peaceful, felt private. Staff and tour guides made our trip amazing. Very clean, safe, steps to water. Beautiful pool, great food and drinks. Get all inclusive- it's worth it. Activities to do on site, or rent golf cart and see the town.

    I highly recommend Laru Beya as a choice when visiting the Placencia Peninsula. The service is great, and the hotel is affordable.

    We went for an anniversary trip to celebrate 7 years together and we had an amazing time! This resort is small but the perfect size if you are looking for a place with staff that all learn your name and always have a friendly smile! I wish I could name everyone that provided such great service but I know I would miss someone. We enjoyed the snorkeling trip and cave tubing adventure and can’t wait to go back to Belize! We plan to go back again next year and take our three boys. It’s a romantic resort for couples but also family friendly. We went in April so there were a few families with children there but mostly adults. It was quiet and not overly crowded. Every day was peaceful and special. All the food and drinks at the Quarterdeck Restaurant were delicious! You will not be disappointed! I was a little concerned about only having one restaurant on the resort but thought we could just try some places in Placencia if we wanted a change. We only at at the Quarterdeck except for our meals during our excursions! In seven days we were not able to try everything on the menu! Everything we ate was wonderful and served by staff that treated us like family. Since it’s a small and intimate resort, the staff are able to learn your name. Any special requests or allergies you may have are carefully considered in your meals. We can’t wait to go back!

    Near Placencia. Great beach, rooms and pool. Staff were all very accommodating. Everything worked. Great place for an attitude adjustment.

    The reviews don’t even begin to tell you how incredible our stay was. The food was exquisite, the drinks were impeccable, and the ambience was everything we wanted. But the people are what makes this resort so special. From Donnie at the front, Carl on the beach, to CC, Jordy, Eddy, Emory, Bismarck, and Chef, to Vincent on the grounds. Thank you. You turned a great trip into an unforgettable vacation that we will talk about and cherish for years.

    I have stay in a lot of places, Maui, Tahiti, Australia and Mexico. However this place is an example of how to make their guests welcome. Rooms are great, food was good and drinks refreshing. The prices excellent.

    My partner and I had an amazing time celebrating our 5 year anniversary at this resort. From the moment we arrived, we’ve been catered to 24/7 by the staff. We were greeted with cold towels and welcome drinks and a large sign with our names on it. The best thing about this resort is the convenience of everything. The location is ideal and you can get to town by renting a cheap golf cart or using the complimentary bikes. They also set up all of our excursions (snorkeling, ziplining, monkey river tour) including transportation, so that made that process seamless. Another great thing about this resort is the food and liquor. The food was made to order and was delicious and the chef was not stingy at all. The liquor was not watered down compared to much larger resorts, the bartenders were great. I loved how intimate the resort was, there was not many guests so we really got to engage with the staff on a more personal level. I truly appreciated how they would check in on us when we didn’t show up for a meal. Lastly, shout out to the staff. They honestly made this experience even better. I would highly recommend staying here if you plan on staying in Placencia.

    This resort was beautiful! Our ocean view 2 bedroom condo was spacious and was cleaned daily. We were located steps away from the restaurant and food was delicious including the daily specials!

    This place was amazing! Can't say enough good things about it. The staff made it an unforgettable experience. My wife is vegan but it didn't matter. The chef created special meals for her. She was so happy! We will definitely return. Everything from transportation from the airport to the tours was flawless. We are sure to return.

    We came here for our Honeymoon and had an incredible time. Not only is the view gorgeous and stunning but they have all sorts of activities available. Plenty of tours to choose from like ziplining, mayan ruin and snorkeling. They also have things to do at the resort like kayak, Bike, golf cart, and hobie cat rentals that come with your stay. The staff is what also makes your time is a wonderful experience and they could not be more welcoming. It is perfect service. Also aside from the views, the food and drinks are some of the best I've ever had in my life. It tastes so fresh every day and the cook Jake is masterful. Anyone looking to explore Belize this would be a great resort to stay in while doing it. We will definitely be coming back again and again.

    My friend and I had a fantastic evening meal at the Laru Beya restaurant the other night. The chicken special and cocktails were excellent, the service was very attentive and the atmosphere was stress-free and relaxed. Many thanks to Chef Lisandro Mai and our server Irwin for making our evening very enjoyable.

    I absolutely loved my trip here. The staff made us feel so welcomed and appreciated. The food and drinks were exceptional on our all inclusive stay. The excursions were also top notch. We did the Monkey River Tour, Ruins, and snorkeling. Friendly and knowledgeable guides. The trip was a 10 out of town. The room was actually a suite, but we didn't take advantage of the kitchen capabilities.

    Top notch service. The staff were the best part of the experience. Incredibly friendly, helpful and great to talk to. We had a couple of under the weather days there and they made sure we were taken care of and comfortable. Would absolutely recommend!

    I’m writing a review as someone who has traveled to various Caribbean / Mexican tourist destination and as a 20 - something who prefers stills relaxing but also adventurous vacation lifestyle. Hotel / property: In comparison to Riu/Balera/Grand Solmar, and the other easily 400 + room resorts that I’ve stayed in the past, this by far a more intimate and smaller resort, easily walkable. Legit took 30 seconds to walk from our room to the pool, or ocean, or the dining area which was enjoyable. The grounds themselves could use a bit of landscaping and overall maintenance for visual appeal but the ocean is what we came to see and it’s fairly well maintained. Seaweed is collected once in morning so It can accumulate by the after noon time but it’s enough to just step over and avoid. All rooms realistically have an ocean view and if you are on the first floor can walk out from your patio to the sand or swing on your hammock. I’d only recommend upgrading the shower heads, they are a bit dated and a quick and easy fix to just increase the value of the room. Food/drink: HOLY HECK MY FAVORITE PART BY FAR. All those big resorts and buffet style options cannot compare. Every meal eaten here was flavorful, filling and delightful and for all things good in life try to creole nachos. I wanted to order it for breakfast the day I left just to have it one more time. Truly everything me and my boyfriend had was deliciously. Major props to the cooks! The drink menu provided mainly rum/vodka based drinks which is included in the inclusive package, if you prefer whisky/wine/tequila those aren’t included and would have to pay additional for those drinks so just keep that in mind. Service/staff: Both office staff and bartenders/ waiters were very courteous, prompt, and hard workers. Shout out to Erica, Kristina, Santiago, Emerie* & Nelsie* (* spell check) for always proving great service and hospitality during our stay. Kristina makes new drink specials daily and she knew I was a girl who loved spicy drinks with Tajin and she would hook it up! They also book the jumper plane from Belize City to Placencia for you! Amenities: infinity pool is nice, I was mainly at the beach so if you enjoy a pool vibe it’ll work great. It gets to about 6 feet deep. They had corn hole on site but could update the board / bags and possibly provide a few more beach games for families/couple. They offered bikes to rent which was a great way to get active for a few and also just explore the surrounding areas off the resort. You can rent a golf cart for a few hours or the day which I recommend if you plan to go to the “downtown” or main town area of the Placencia, it’s about an hour bike ride round trip for those who are at an average athleticism. They also have an 8-9 hold mini golf that you can play but again the ground work / landscaping in the area could use some work here. There weren’t any beach cabanas but enough beach chairs for anyone who really wanted one. It being a smaller resort if you are looking for entertainment groups, performances, activities being led from the hotel, this is not the place. It’s definitely a more laid back, chill vibe vs other Caribbean destinations. Bring some games (I brought card games) to pass time and play while outside. Tours: we did the zip lining and waterfall tour and had a great time! Zip lining over the river and mountain area was a beautiful site. Waterfall was pretty water was just very cold. We jumped in and swam our butts back immediately but still enjoyed the excursion nonetheless. Our driving answered any questions we asked on the way there about climate/agriculture/daily lifestyle/etc. they do typically only offer certain tours on certain days so contact them directly on which days they offer each tour based on your visit. Overall, I would happily refer any one interested in visiting Belize to visit Laru Beya! Thanks for a great trip!

    Nice resort with very friendly staff! We lived our stay at leru beya. The room was nice & clean. We had a pool view with also a view of the beach. It's a small beach but perfect for relaxing & swimming!

    Our stay at Laru Beya was seemless and wonderful. While the location with the beach is stunning, hands-down the draw is the staff. Everyone at Laru Beya is there to make your stay as wonderful as possible. They are all so friendly and charming and will help you with anything you need. My husband and I got close to sun poisoning while snorkeling, but we didn't have to worry about a thing. The staff brought us meds and room service so we were able to rest and recuperate to get ready for more adventures. Tours are easy to book and the staff ensures you are with quality guides & are informed before heading out. The rooms are decorated with Belizean art and furniture, the beds are supremely comfortable, and the air conditioning is great! The grounds are landscaped with local plant life and birds are easy to spot while just dining at their restaurant (with a great view of the ocean beyond)! We will happily book with Laru Beya again when we return to Placencia!

    I wish I could mention the name of every staff member that helped us here but our stay was absolutely spectacular. Between the staff, the view, the accommodations and don't get me started on the food. Unfortunately we had caught Covid and had to quarantine half way through our trip. But the amazing staff (Jordi, Mildred and more!) Made our stay great despite being stuck inside. The quarterdeck restaurant was awesome. I think we would have lost our minds with the good food and drinks. Overall I beautiful resort. We hope to return one day in full health!
