5 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 May 2012 NEW

We really enjoyed staying here. Close to everything, clean rooms and friendly staff. We had read that Mel was perhaps a little rude but she had obviously had the word as she was great to deal with. George was a funny guy, really enjoyed chatting with him over a whiskey. Would stay again. More

Westwind was great! We stayed for 6 nights and hated to leave. It was very comfortable. We had access to the TV, computer and kitchen for coffee and tea in morning downstairs in the "common" area. We could actually see the sunrise every morning from our bed on the second floor. It was beautiful. Lisa was very pleasant and I... More

We stayed for two nights in the upper/second level. Lisa was so nice and helpful to us. She even let us use her phone to call our next hotel in Belize because they weren't answering their emails. The rooms are small but quaint. Bathroom was small, but at least it had hot water and a strong flushing toilet, unlike so... More

Westwind, a graceful and comfortable hotel plopped right on the beach is actually more of a "home" than hotel. The rooms are smallish,but very comfortable.There is a large commons area that is a great place to meet new friends or visit with old ones.It has a perfect location on one of the best stretches of beach in Belize. George and... More

We stayed at Westwinds for 3 nights and had a very pleasant experience. We had a lower level room right on the beach that was very cosy and had everything we required. George and Lisa were very friendly and welcoming offering tea, coffee, cake and all sorts of things whenever you popped up to see them. There is also a... More

This place is well worth the money - it's the most inexpensive place ON THE BEACH IN Placencia Village. (Don't bother staying outside the village unless you are going all-inclusive or have a car or intend to bike into town.) Westwind is not luxury, but it is cute & quirky and well worth the money to be on the beach.... More

This was my first real vacation and it won't be my last planning on returning next year. George and Lisa make you feel like your just visiting old friends and I hope that is what I become to them. Thanks for a great vacation Doug M More

George and Lisa are very nice and helpful. The location is great. The upper level rooms are small and basic. The lower level, the beach level, is dreary at best. The place shows the challenges of maintaining an old building on the beach. More

If you are looking to spend more time on the beach than in your room, this is the perfect choice. The beach is right outside the door! The modest rooms are comfortable and very clean. Lisa & George are generous hosts and will point you in the right direction for restaurants, tours and activities. They provide morning coffee, beach towels,... More

Westwinds is ok, not awful but not great either. My overall experience was poor and I would seriously question how genuine the other trip advisor reviews are (which were the reason I booked my vacation!). I wouldn't return and I wouldn't recommend. More
