Belizean Nirvana

I have been to Belize about 16 times and have stayed all over the country. I will keep coming back at least once a year. Now I will never stay anywhere but Belizean Nirvana and the beautiful Namaste Suite. Huge veranda literally yards from the ocean. Sparkling clean and it is at if they anticipate everything guests might need-umbrellas, bug spray, etc. The owners/hosts Barbara and Evan live on site. Delightful people who are so friendly and helpful in every way. This magical place is my home away from home. I love this place.

Everything about this place is perfection - exquisite private beach, wonderful complimentary breakfasts on the rooftop terrace, great outdoor shower right in front of the rooms, delightful staff. The list of wonderful things goes on and on, including the most fabulous hosts, Barbara and Evan who are super friendly and always up for a visit and a chat when they are in the office. They used to run a tour company and are a font of info and connections if you need help with activities. Barb even had a colleague that was an expert on visiting the ruins at Tikal and was able to answer a bunch of our questions as we were heading to Guatemala to visit Tikal after our stay at Nirvana. What a magical place! And so relaxing - food and activities just a short walk away. Or wander down the 'street' to one of the local food shacks to Kendra's or Annie's or Carmen's and bring back a meal to eat on your private veranda. And best gelato we've had outside of Italy from the shop in town, and the freshest produce at Greg's is just minutes away. Ming's Grocery just a short walk, too, for toiletries, liquor and other staples. Ice, coffee makings, towels, robes and daily housekeeping all provided by a sweet and charming staff. The hotel beach is tidied daily and pillows and fresh covers put on the sun loungers. Gated parking available if you have a rental car like we did. Oh, and if you have an early activity planned and can't make breakfast? They will bring it to you the night before to your room! Can't say enough wonderful things about this fantastic B&B - and we haven't even talked about it's perfect location. Want a beach bar experience with live music? Just wander up the beach a bit to Barefoot Bar. Want the best cheap and cheerful fry jacks and tacos? Stroll down the sidewalk to Momalicious. Basically it is as it's name suggests, NIRVANA. We have already reserved our stay for next season...we suggest you do the same before they are booked solid!

NamaStay My family and I enjoyed our short stay in the Namaste apartment at the Belizean Nirvana in Placencia. The apartment was larger than expected with a beautiful veranda overlooking the ocean. When I was researching accommodations, the Belizean Nirvana was one of the few that offered breakfast, which was a plus given that my husband and I traveled with our teen and tween. The hotel was central to all of the restaurants and shops on the island. Barbara and Evan were wonderful and available if we needed them.
