if you want a true hideaway - this is the place. the rooms are small and plain but very clean. what makes this place so wonderful is the people who run it and all the locals who come to visit. we felt right at home and met some really fantastic people. I hope to visit again there someday - hope... More

The Lost Reef Resort staff delivers service which is unique due to the limited number of guests. This allows for individual preferences in lodging, meals and activities during your stay. LIsa personally arranges for all off site activities which eliminates the stress for the guests and allows them to truly relax in this very tranquil place. The restaurant and bar... More

After hearing and reading about the good things Placencia and Belize has to offer, we finally made the trip and we stayed at the Lost Reef Resort for one week. Located right on the beaches of the Caribbean, the Lost Reef is secluded enough to make you feel that you may be the only person on the planet. You have... More

Staff was very friendly and made us all feel at home. Owners were on site and very hospitable. They certainly made sure we had everything we needed. With the country's limited resources Lost Reef has done an excellent job to accommodate its guests. For beach-front property it is an extremely good value and the wildlife around the resort is amazing.... More

John and Lisa have created a beautiful little hideaway located about 20 minutes outside of Placencia. It is quaint and peaceful. I can't remember the last time that we have vacationed without any worries. The house, the kids, the dogs, work...all disappeared for a week solid!! It was heaven for us! The optimal word in my last sentence is "for... More

Lost Reef always gets interesting guests including tourists (the happiest ones rent wheels for their stay) and people working in the area. An evening at the... More

In booking Lost Reef, we assumed it was in Placencia, however we found it was at least a 40 minute drive from town, half of which is on a dirt road. It costs $30 US each way to Placencia town, and it's the same price as well if you want to go to Maya Beach (20 minutes away). The cab... More

I "found" the Lost Reef Resort as I was going to Placencia. I stopped, looked around, and then went to check out my other options on the 15 mile stretch between LRR and Placencia. Nothing else appealed to me like this place. The other options seemed too crowded, too contrived, too commercialized, too much like anything you could find along... More

Lisa and John D'Amore and the staff at Lost Reef go out of their way to make guests feel like family. From help with the pre-trip planning to arranging our tours with great local guides, from the fresh flowers in our room on arrival to preparing our fishing trip catch for a special dinner, from including us in on local...
