Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
If you have submitted a review for a holiday rental property, we may also ask that you provide us with proof of your stay to ensure that your review is attached to the correct rental property.
Holiday rental reviews collected via the VRBO website (formerly Homeaway) and syndicated to the Tripadvisor website are not currently subject to Tripadvisor’s standard moderation processes.

Off the beaten path GREAT!
I don't even know how to put into words how much we enjoyed our stay at the Alaska Reprieve except that it is everything you would want in a place to stay if you are looking to find a relaxing home feel atmosphere. The pictures are spot on and decor was very comfortable. My husband and I stayed for 16 days and felt at home every minute. Out favorite place was the porch. Getting to look at the view everyday, listen to all the birds and say hello to those passing by on the sidewalk in the mornings and evenings. The place offers everything and more that it describes. The kitchen was great, the bed and pillows were so comfortable and the shower was awesome. Never lacked for hot water. We found it to be the perfect spot on the sidewalk and just steps from the beach and the Beach Club pool which is a great Plus!! We walked everywhere we went and used the bikes when we were hauling our stuff to dive and snorkel. Mae is so wonderful. Our trip was booked pretty far in advance and she was always responsive to all my many many questions in advance. Everything is so planned out and provided to meet all your needs, we never once had to contact her during our stay. There are so many great things that could be said, but not enough space to say them. So I say please stay here if you go to Placencia and we will definitely stay here again when we go back. Thank you Alaska Reprieve for an awesome stay during our Placencia vacation!

About the neighbourhood
Placencia is approximately 160 miles from Belize City. The peninsula of Placencia features miles of pristine beaches with a wonderful panorama of the Caribbean Sea. Alaska Reprieve is located in the laid-back village of Placencia which is at the southern tip of the peninsula. The village motto is “barefoot friendly” and has two major ways to traverse the many restaurants and amenities – “Placencia Road” or the historic “Placencia Sidewalk”.
Placencia Road which is often referred to as “main street” accommodates vehicular and bike traffic. The road was recently paved and there was a sidewalk added to improve pedestrian safety.
Placencia Sidewalk is between 3 and 4 foot-wide and runs from the end of the peninsula next to the sea.
Getting around
We have the best location in the village. It is within crawling distance of the bars but far enough away for a peaceful night's sleep. From the Alaska Reprieve, every amenity in the village is within walking distance. No need to incur the extra expense of renting a car or a golf cart. We are located right on the historic sidewalk and there is easy access to everything. Additionally, if you want to get somewhere quickly, we have bikes that are available for your use.

How to get there
Here are some options for getting to Placencia. I would be glad to furnish further details.
Take a shuttle
The scenic 3.5-hour drive from Belize City to Placencia offers stunning views. The route takes you inland past the capital of Belmopan then turns back to the coast through the Maya mountains and fertile agricultural country to Dangriga. From Dangriga, you head south past Hopkins and down to Placencia. Shuttles are reasonably priced and they provide modern and comfortable door-to-door service. As the popularity of Placencia continues to multiply, so do the shuttle services. Belize has implemented a COVID gold standard program for tour and transportation companies.
Grab a second flight
From Belize International (Philip Goldson International) you can take a 40-minute flight to Placencia on Cessna 9 to 13-seat airplanes. These are beautiful flights in smaller aircraft. There are also flights from the municipal airport (Barry Bowen Municipal) but it would require a taxi ride across Belize City from the international airport. I have flow on both Tropic Air and Maya Air and usually pick based on the best price or the best schedule to fit my connections. Tropic Air and Maya Island Air provide excellent service.
Taxi or Private Car
A Belize taxi can get you to and from the airport and Placencia but will be expensive. Typically, it will cost more than a flight on Tropic or Maya but prices are negotiable. Be sure to agree on the price before hopping in a cab. All licensed taxis bear a green license plate. Do not use an unlicensed taxi.
Rent a Car
If you are staying in the village, a rental car is not needed. However, if you choose to rent a car – book early. Rental cars are expensive ($75 USD per day or more) and there is typically not a lot of choice in the type of vehicle. At Belize City International you will find Hertz, Budget, Dollar, Thrifty, National, and Crystal. Off-site there is AQ Car Rental. When driving to Placencia, do NOT take the coastal highway. It is much too rough for a rental car. Travel from Belize City to Belmopan on the Western Highway. From Belmopan, take the Hummingbird Highway to Dangriga. Just before Dangriga, turn south onto the Southern Highway to the roundabout where you turn and drive down the peninsula to Placencia Village. All of the roads are paved and in good shape. They just upgraded and removed the one lane bridges. We took a shuttle on my first trip to Placencia. The driver was familiar with the road and gave us quite a bit of detail on the countryside we were seeing.
If you decide to make a day trip by rental car from Placencia, there are rental places within the village – Budget, Barefoot Rentals, and Placencia Car Rental. The cars from Barfoot Rentals and Placencia Car Rentals will not be up to your US expectations. They are typically pretty worn and expensive but offer a taste of Belize. You can also check with Budget as I think you can rent a car in Belize City and drop it off in Placencia.
Take the bus
There are air-conditioned express bus services that take about five hours and cost about $15 USD one-way. The Southern Bus Schedule is online.
