I spent a week at Barnacle Bill's in January 2012 and can't say enough good things. Bill, Adriane and Scurvy are the greatest hosts on the planet. Maya Beach is a wonderful little village filled with friendly people and several wonderful eateries. If you want to venture further, they will arrange a rental car to come get you. But why... More

We can't say enough about Barnacle Bill's! The accommodations were all that we had hoped for- everything we needed was right there. If we wanted to venture out, there were 2 small groceries and several restaurants within easy walking distance. Bikes were available for bigger trips and kayaks were there to head out into the water. Adriane and Bill are... More

This was the second leg of an 11 day trip to Belize. What an unexpected little gem this was. We were just feet from the water and the bungalow was stocked with whatever we needed and if we needed something else Bill and Adrianne sure knew where to get it. Short walk to many great restaurants, bars and bodegas. Kayaks... More

Just ask Bill. He knows the neighborhood and the neighbors. Need to rent a vehicle? Check with Bill. Want to go to the outer reef? Check with Bill. Need the refrigerator stocked when you get there? Need a delicious home cooked meal the first night you get there? Check with Bill. During our stay in May 2011, Bill wandered by... More

Bill's is the type a place i really like in a get away vacation. I'm just not really into the sterility and the closed off concrete of hotels. Give me a good condo or bungalow and I'm happier then I'll ever be in a Four Seasons. Don't get me wrong, luxury accommodations have upsides and value comes at a cost.... More

From the time we got there, Adrian and Bill proved themselves to be the ideal hosts. The cabana was exactly as described in their literature and was a great place to hang out for a week or a month. They were more than cordial and LISTENED to what you said you were interested in doing, then made excellent recommendations on... More

My wife and I stayed here for the second half of our 10 day honeymoon. We were there in early Oct, so it was the low season--we were practically the only tourists in the area. Going in the low season was great because we got a more "real" experience. Everywhere we went, we met locals who wanted to talk and... More

We landed at Placencia airport to find Bill waiting for us with Scurvy, the resident retriever. Arriving at our bungalow, we found it to be exactly as advertised- cosy, quiet, and right on a beautiful stretch of tranquil beach. Bill and Adriane were helpful and friendly, even picking up groceries to stock our fridge prior to our arrival. Area tours... More

This was our first stay at B B. It was very rustic, filled with the flavor of Placencia. There are 2 bungalows spaced apart enough for privacy. Beautiful landscaping with your very own private beach. We fed the chuckaluka's (?) bananas every morning. Bill and Adrienne live on the grounds and sees to your every need. He will even cook... More
