The Crimson Orchid Inn at Orchid Bay

Absolutely loved our stay here! The beach is stunning, and having a charming little bar, store, and restaurant just a one-minute walk away made everything so convenient. Throughout our stay, we went on multiple tours, and each one was an unforgettable adventure! I visited with my mom, and it was the perfect balance—we enjoyed the relaxing experiences she wanted while I still got to explore, hike, visit ruins, and dive into adventure. The staff was truly amazing, going above and beyond to make our stay special. A huge shoutout to Edgar and Issa for their exceptional hospitality! If you’re looking for a place that offers both relaxation and adventure in a breathtaking setting, this is it!

My daughter and I went and were delighted to see how accepted our dog was. Stephen was very accessible and attentive to needs and questions. Unfortunately the room we wanted was not available so we took a twin instead and it was simple, clean and pleasant. The only issue with the room is it was right beside the water pump that went off every time anyone used water. Also, if fresh OJ and scones are something that you are looking for like myself in a breakfast they were not available but there was fresh cooking by Stephen every morning for anything else you desire with coffee and amazing brewed tea. The pool, restaurant/bar are just down the road along with full beach access. It is not in town and the food at the restaurant was just ok but Stephen's pizza night was amazing and brought in a lot of locals for great conversations. The one thing I would highly recommend is bug spray, we live in Placencia and have never been covered in bites like this before. Overall I would recommend if you are looking for simplicity, clean, safe and social.
