Nice units, quiet location

We stayed in one of the one bedroom, 2 level units (seahorse). The property and unit was very nice and clean. The pool is not big, but was nice to cool off in and the shaded areas around the pool and hammocks were perfect for relaxing outside. The property is about a 15 minute walk away from grocery or restaurants or the public beach area, and the road is mostly unlit at night and there are no real sidewalks, so plan for that. A lot of people rent golf carts to get around the peninsula, but we didn't book ahead and there was no availability. So we made use of the bikes provided until we picked up our rental car. The kitchen had everything we needed and was functional, but a barbeque area outside would have been nice. Overall we had a great stay.

My Post Covid Paradise Vacation

Working as a Nurse during Covid I really needed a vacation. Swan Villa Placenia is absolutely breathtaking. Our host Miriam made sure that everything was perfect. I swear she never goes home. We are already planning our visit next year. Thank you

July 2022 get away

The staff were great and attentive. Responded to emails and questions promptly. Kitchen was pleasantly stocked with pots, pans and dishes for two. Bed was very comfortable. Rocks in shower made an uneven standing surface. Spiral staircase is narrow so probably not a good fit for an unstable person. I would hope maintenance will correct sauna (heater did not work), dishwasher did not work, and several electrical plugs would not reset. Bring your sunscreen and bug spray, you will need it. Thanks.

Excellent customer care from the property manager

Very unique property, and a lot of fun to stay at. Couple of issues and the hot tub didn't work and it was repaired but then the heating element was not it so no hot tub. Property manager was incredible and even supported us during the hurricane.

Nice place, very unique, better if hot tub worked properly

Don't book the Seahorse unit if you want a properly working hot tub. We read reviews of it not working back in November 2021. We got reassurance from Vacasa that it had been fixed when we booked in March 2022. But it still didn't heat up. Otherwise, it's a nice place.

Great Concierge staff

Concierge staff was phenomenal, Anna helped find the most amazing tours and restaurants in placencia. Kaprie was a great manager getting back to us with questions we had about the unit. Only downfall to this place is the jacuzzi, it’s basically a tease. Doesn’t get hot and it’s difficult to turn on.

It is fun a surprising comfortable to live in a house that could look like a natural cave. The shower is something everyone should try once in their life.

Covid friendly stay

We were looking for a change of scenery but in a clean safe environment and this fit the bill. From lockbox checkin to a full kitchen to prepare meals everything was handled so we felt comfortable vacationing here. With food and water we didn’t need to leave but we did go to tutti-frutti in placencia of course. Loved the relaxing hot tub and comfy bed. It was especially private since no one else was there but even so it would be private since its its own unit. The pool and hammock was also nice and well maintained despite Covid. A great view of the lagoon and mountains in the distance. Easy walk across the road if you want to see the sea as well. We were allowed early checkin which was nice and any questions were addressed quickly by the local contact. Overall a nice stay.

Cute quirky villa with very nice outdoor pool

Outdoor pool was very clean and the grounds were pretty. Overall our villa was not deep cleaned. Stairs, countertops, shelves weren't as clean as could be. Hot tub was overchlorinated to the point where our eyes burned just sitting on the couch. Needs more outdoor lighting!

We loved it

We absolutely loved our stay here at Swan Villas. The pool was our favorite place to be. It is such an amazing pool. The house is so unique and beautiful. We loved the shower and all the plants. The property management were excellent and the property it self is stunning. We used the kayak ( just a tip they are heavy so beware) in the lagoon that was fun. It's also located very well. We enjoyed many good close by restuarants ( we liked Singing Sands best). The only complaint would be that we wished the bed was more comfortable. Overall we enjoyed ourselves very much and would definitely come back to stay here again, it's a lovely place.
