Comments on: Placencia Has The Best Beach and Great Food! http://www.threepalmsbelize.com/blog/belize-dining/placencia-has-the-best-beach-and-great-food/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=placencia-has-the-best-beach-and-great-food The Resource for the Best of Belize Tue, 10 Nov 2009 02:24:23 -0700 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.1 hourly 1 By: Bill http://www.threepalmsbelize.com/blog/belize-dining/placencia-has-the-best-beach-and-great-food/comment-page-1/#comment-3 Bill Tue, 04 Aug 2009 22:38:34 +0000 http://www.threepalmsbelize.com/blog/?p=49#comment-3 I imagine that a lot of what I’ll read about here Is SCUBA or fishing-related but the food was surprisingly good in Placencia. And, I’m not a fish-eater. I have had great food experiences every time I’ve been to Placencia. I must say, though, that Coppola’s Turtle Inn was pretty outstanding…no wonder it’s a Hollywood hang-out. Getting the bill isn’t for the faint-of-heart but I found the experience pretty fabulous and the scenery is spectacular – right out of Architectural Digest or Luxury Living Magazine. The people I’ve gone with have been a little frustrated by the challenges of getting to The Sunset Bar but, by my account this place embodies everything a Caribbean beach bar is supposed to be; great spot (on a small island), great tunes, unbelievable sunsets and laid-back, almost to a fault. Loved it – I’ll go every time I’m there. When I move to Placencia that place will be my “Cheers”. It took me a little work to find – I’m not one to stop and ask for directions – The Pickled Parrot was a great place to kick-off the evening and if it’s book-end bars I’d recommend ending the evening at the Barefoot Beach Bar at the Tipsy Tuna: outside, sandy, good drinks, cool t-shirts, fun crowd. Rumfish was a great place to hang out or to just stop in – either before or after or for dinner. Really nice people, real easy décor, huge drink selection, etc. I agree and it sounds like it’s their nature, but John and Pam help make the experience better. The first time down there I was very surprised to find good food but the ones you point out are on my list for my trip in September. I’ll try to come up with some additions. I thought I heard that a new casino was going in about 20 minutes up Placencia Road. Is that true? If so that would be very cool for nightlife. I don’t want one next door but a casino just a short drive away would be ideal, to me. One more fun thing to do. I’ll chime back in with new places to check-out when I get back from my next trip to Belize. I just got certified (SCUBA) and cannot wait to get back to Bz with all my gear.
