Absolutely delicious pizzas paired with fantastic wine, all enjoyed in the most relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. Loved being able to watch the pizzas being freshly cooked – such a great touch! The service was excellent from start to finish. Totally recommend this place, and a big thank you for a lovely evening!

Schöne Anlage, freundlicher Stuff und viel Liebe zum Detail. Die Ausflüge sind nicht sehr kinderfreundlich, da Kinder immer den vollen Preis zahlen auch wenn sie das Angebot gar nicht in dem vollen Umfang nutzen können wie Erwachsene. Es fehlt an Klimageräten in den Ocean Suites. Die strombetriebenen Ventilatoren reichen nicht aus. Daher nur 4 von 5 Sternen. Aber definitiv einen Besuch wert wenn man in Placencia weilt.

My husband and I just returned from our honeymoon at Turtle Inn and we look forward to returning. This property is a true luxury boutique with beautiful and private accommodations, well manicured but not overly “done” grounds, and a warm and friendly staff including Abraham and Melvina at the front desk who proactively checked in on us all week. Resort food can get old, but not here. Everything we ate was delicious and all cocktails fresh and made with care by our man Joseph! It’s not a lot of 5* resorts that have their own chicken coop next to a wood-fired pizza oven… Don’t miss a trip to the spa - my essential oil massage was a mix of Thai and Swedish delivered expertly by Jun (who worked at the Mandarin Oriental Bangkok for 12 years). Splurge for the 90 minute - you will not regret it. While the resort is certainly kid-friendly, the main pool is not huge and the beach has a retaining wall so I would plan some excursions if traveling with kids. This is not a waterslide spot nor is it a beach spot - it feels more like staying at a chic friend’s house. We used the complimentary evening shuttle to get into Placencia for dinner and loved every meal we ate. July is low season so we walked in everywhere but I would highly recommend reservations in high season. Fly Maya Air if possible, their terminal at PLJ is way nicer than the Tropic Air terminal. We absolutely loved our time here - it was a great value and both Turtle Inn and Placencia retain a lot of rustic charm that’s difficult to find these days.

The moment we walked in, they knew our names, knew a little about us! Always addressing us personally, knew what we drank and ate most of the time. Always helpful and accommodating

Turtle Inn is almost perfect. Architecture, design, coziness of a true luxury beach hotel. Service and food also amazing! It’s very unique and original, so many different options you can’t get bored. I strongly recommend Turtle Inn. It’s manager Martin and crew, such as David the concierge, Silvano at the bar and Grill and last but not least the kind boy that punctually brought breakfast to our room every day. Thank you, hope to see you soon! Hope the Sargasso problem will end soon, so you’ll have the beautiful beach again and then be perfect.

This was our 3rd time at Turtle Inn and we look forward to our next visit already. If you want a place to relax in quiet luxury, this is for you. Everyone is so welcoming and friendly, the food is excellent and the cabanas are so roomy and beautiful. The private outdoor shower (you have one inside too!) is a treat, the massage was the BEST resort massage I've ever had and the almond milk I ordered with my coffee was warmed. There isn't a detail that isn't attended to, truly! Thank you to ALL the Turtle Inn staff and a special shout out to Janny!

Turtle Inn was remarkable. My wife and I went on our honeymoon. Almost every villa has some view of the ocean. Waking up to bird chirping, breakfast in the room for free, looking at the ocean was remarkable. Conceirge was excellent at not just arranging activities but importantly suggesting things we might like and really listened to us describe what we wanted. Every guide was wonderful - snorkeling, hiking, birding etc. Food also remarkable. Great bar. Would 100% return.

I have stayed at Turtle Inn four times now: 2012, 14, 22, and 2025. This time, we traveled with our two children, ages 6 and 8. It was a fantastic stay once again. Martin and the staff do a great job of perfecting "barefoot luxury." The resort offers an elegant setting without being overly stuffy or pretentious. All meals at Turtle Inn were fantastic. Kids camp was a great break for the kids, and it let them experience a few things they otherwise may not have at Turtle Inn. It is difficult to describe the facility. Each villa or cottage is its own dwelling, creating the feeling of being on a secluded tropical beach that you just don't get with traditional multi-story buildings at other resorts. It feels as if someone built an open-air home and turned it into a place to relax for guests. However Turtle Inn came to be, they executed the quintessential secluded beach vacation perfectly. Once again, my recommendation is that you stay ocean-front, as air-conditioned spaces are limited to a few of the garden-view villas. The pool is great, and so is the oceanfront bar. The staff has never disappointed, and the outdoor shower is one of the unique attributes that continues to bring us back. Another unique aspect of Copolla Resorts is that they don't use plastic. Garbage bags are replaced with paper, water is in glass containers, to-go boxes are paper, straws are bamboo or metal, plastic container are woven baskets and so on. It's a nice touch that helps the planet and adds to the elegance the resort strives to achieve. Bugs are an issue depending on the time of year you visit. The closer you are to the rainy season, the worse they can be. Pricing at the restaurants and bars is comparable or cheaper to any run-of-the-mill restaurant in the States. It's not dirt cheap, but it's not expensive either. Be careful traveling into late May, The rainy season is fast approaching. That said, the rain is a great reprieve from the midday heat. Placencia village. Much of the charm comes from the lack of modern amenities. Restaurants are all open-air and simple. Food is excellent, drinks are cold. It's a really neat spot to visit.
