Nothing

Peaceful property, gave the impression of being in a jungle. Beautiful pool! The owner Olivia was so welcoming and caring, she really makes you feel at home. We also tried Olivia’s Italian cooking on two nights, which was delicious. We organised two trips via the lodge - a day trip to Monkey River and a night trip to Cockscomb Wildlife Sanctuary - both of which were excellent. Cabin well equipped with fridge, coffee machine, toaster, blender and a little outdoor kitchen. The property is a few kilometres out of Placencia itself but walking distance to a grocery store and a couple of restaurants, there is a resort next door with a restaurant/bar and a nice gym.

The location is a little far from the village and touristy spots. But Oliva was so sweet to offer accommodations with her personal vehicle!! There also is a golf cart rental company right next door so that is a very easy and convenient fix!

Oliva was SO SWEET! So thankful to have stayed in such a beautiful and relaxing spot! The room was superb and the pool is INCREDIBLE! Even the shower and outdoor kitchen made me feel like I was staying in a villa!! It was the best, dreaming of going back one day!

Our own fault - had some open snacks, beware of the ants!

Hosts were fabulous - very kind, wonderful people. The pool was lovely and available for use at any time, we had several night dips. There was also a coppola over the water at the beach which was very nice. We also enjoyed the wildlife on the property. Would come back for another stay.

Olivia and Fabio are super nice Italians who have built something really great here. There is a huge pool and private access to the beach. Olivia cooks according to her "Nonna's" recipes - the best spaghetti carbonara we've ever had. They really help you with every wish. Thanks for everything - hope to see you soon. Flo & Christian

My wife and I loved how Fabio and Olivia developed the property. They’ve created a well thought out place to relax and supply us with all that we needed in a beautiful, creative way. The layout and inside of our cabin’s looks and feel were very artful. The use of space, lighting, and stonework had me smiling with joy. It’s organic and original. There wasn’t a pile of money thrown into each cabin. Instead there was a bunch of creative thinking and artistic touches you can’t buy at a store. In our travels around the world, Fabio and Olivia were some of the nicest hosts we’ve ever had. We would love to come back and spend more time at Kin Resort Lodge.

Olivia and Fabio were the most wonderful hosts.. They were so helpful and kind and really made our stay extra special. I recommend the 2 bedroom beachfront property if it's available. It was so spacious, and it was so nice sleeping with the sound of the waves and watching pelicans fishing from the porch or the dock. The pool is gorgeous and there are adorable agoutis and iguanas on the property. The tours Olivia booked for us were outstanding as well. I stayed here with my teenager, and we had the best time!

Olivia and Ken really gave us personal attention and bent over backwards to make sure we were comfortable, had what we needed, etc. Olivia arranged excursions, transportation, and made and delivered delicious meals on request. I truly appreciated her being so relaxed about an issue I had with credit card initially. Beach right across street.

We were one week early for their pool grand opening but will catch the waves next time! Booking.com has the resort located in Maya Beach, when actually it is in Seine Bight. That could be a problem for taxis when trying to drop off visitors.

Kin Resort Lodge was a wonderful little gem within the Placencia ecosystem! Upon entering the resort, we were warmly welcomed by Olivia and shown around their lovingly maintained grounds. Nestled amongst the undisturbed natural backdrop were several cabanas with large outside seating areas and interiors with a fun rustic bohemian vibe! Our A-frame like structure was thoughtfully planned out in design and fully equipped with everything we could have asked for, even a blender for making that fresh pina-colada! Across the street was amazing direct access to the beach with a pier which we had the use of during our stay as well! Olivia was always ready to help with anything we might need including extra Belikin beers for our mini fridge and cappuccinos and homemade banana bread for breakfast! She even gave us a ride to the airport when we left!

Swim at the beaches of Placencia... Yes please! An endless peninsula of white sands, clear open refreshing blue ocean, spectacular. Dubbed “barefoot perfect,” it's the most popular sea and sand getaway in Belize, stretching across 3 villages: Maya Beach, Seine Bight and Placencia. My K'in Resort beachfront cabana paradise may well prove to be my personal best. Once an off-the-beaten-path adventure, Placencia now serves the rich Americans with their palaces, home to the world's narrowest main street, Placencia Sidewalk is 4,071 feet long and 4 feet wide, and expanding, helping discover a myriad of local artists, small eateries and eclectic shops. The name the Spaniards gave to the peninsula in the 1800s meant Point Pleasant.

Olivia was amazing. Very quiet and beautiful spot.

Olivia was very friendly, welcoming, and warm. She had an answer for all questions regardless of nature. A wonderful hostess that's communicated frequently and well. Offering information about the country, culture, food, and all amenities available for the property and in the locale.

We were a family of three without a car, so getting to Placencia wasn’t as easy as we thought (our own fault, we didn’t research well enough when we booked). However, we took cabs and busitos to go to Placencia, and we could walk 20 min to reach a grocery store in Seine Bight.

Charming lodge near Placencia. Extremely well kept and clean. Olivia and her husband were soooo helpful and nice. We rarely got good service like that. The beach across the street was so nice. Very quiet, we were basically alone the entire time. We saw starfish, crabs, stingrays and other fish in the water, right near the beach. I Highly recommend this place.

Peaceful and accommodating

Great spot. Very chill and relaxing. All in nature and very quaint.

Such a lovely place! Olivia is wonderful and attentive and there is clearly a lot of thought put into the way this place is built (as eco friendly as possible), expanded (pool coming in the near future), maintained and especially into the hospitality. Highly recommended.

Excellent experience, Olivia helped me a lot during my stay in Placencia

We could not have wished for a better final accommodation after 3 weeks of Central America. Olivia and Fabio are just incredible hosts! You can really feel the love and passion they put into their beautiful resort, always caring about the nature around. At the area you find still the original trees and plants and you might see one or the other beautiful bird flying around. Olivia was basically always available to provide us with helpful information, before the journey via WhatsApp and also during the stay. It is noticeable important to her that you have a great time :). We enjoyed twice great Italian cappuccino for breakfast and beside that loved to cook in the small kitchen included in the rooms. The small cabins are really cozy and provide everything you need. The beach is just ahead of the street. During our stay we were actually always alone there and it feels a bit like paradise. We can highly recommend a stay at their resort and hope that we also might make it one time back (also to enjoy the great pool which is about to be finished :))

Olivia and Fabio were fabulous hosts for my three-night visit to their K’in Resort Lodge. In fact, the stay was my most positive experience of the nine nights on my trip to Central America. I hadn’t been to Belize before, and didn’t know what to expect in renting a bungalow on the Placencia Peninsula. What I found and got was a spotlessly clean room and bathroom, a wonderful bed, great pillows, modern air conditioning, a terrific shower with hot water I didn’t need to wait for, fast WiFi, a nice ceiling fan, mood lighting, a secure entrance and outside seating area, and even a refrigerator with a pitcher of cold water and a bottle of beer within. On each of the three mornings, Olivia brought me a frothy cappuccino, fresh-squeezed passion fruit juice, and a breakfast treat, also and gave me some company to make me feel at home. The last evening, we actually all shared a dinner, beer, wine, and rum together on one of their outside pavillions— just like we were family members breaking bread as a group. In all, I not only had a good rental adventure, but also made new friends, even getting to meet all three of their beautiful children. They even offered to drop me off at the Placencia Airport when it looked like my arranged ride might not materialize. If you like nature, want comfort, are up for meeting the people who run the establishment, AND don’t want to pay an arm and a leg for it, this is your place!

Nothing. We loved our stay!

This property was even prettier in person than it looks in the photos. Immaculately well-kept with beautiful native foliage all around, so respectful of the natural beauty of the area. The owners were so welcoming and Olivia had so many fantastic recommendations from our drive from the airport as well as all around Placencia.

The location was central to Placencia which is a bonus for those that may not have transportation. There were beautiful trees on the property which made it seem like we were in a tropical secluded resort. Our room was very clean and had everything we could have needed (stove, fridge, A/C, WiFi, kitchenware, table/chairs, bath/shower). Honestly the room was much better than some of the high priced resorts we stayed at. The owner was absolutely wonderful and we had a pleasant chat with her. We will definitely be returning.

Stayed in April 2024

There was not a thing that we did not like. If the resort didn't have what we needed, Olivia made sure that we either entertained or accommodated in another part of their lovely peninsula. She made sure that my husband and I did not miss our beloved Super Bowl Game by reserving a table for us in the resturant located in the resort next door.

It is so hard to describe in words the hospitality that we received from our 2 hosts: Olivia and Fabio. Their main concern during our 10 day stay was that we were comfortable in their small resort.

My stay at Kin Resort in Placencia was absolutely delightful! From the moment I arrived, the owner greeted me with the warmest welcome, making me feel right at home. Their friendliness and genuine hospitality made my stay truly memorable. Not only was the owner incredibly sweet, but they were also extremely helpful, providing valuable insights and recommendations for exploring the beautiful Placencia area and helped to rent a bicycle over the weekend. Their personal touch really enhanced my experience. The style of the accommodation was charming, blending local flair with modern amenities seamlessly. I appreciated the attention to detail in the decor, which added to the overall ambiance of comfort and relaxation. Overall, my experience at Kin Resort exceeded all expectations. I highly recommend this hidden gem to anyone looking for a cozy and welcoming retreat in Placencia. I can't wait to return!
