What do people like (and dislike) about Placencia?

Answer this Question

When we asked expats and global nomads what they like and dislike about living in Placencia, they replied...

"We were in Placencia for about 3 months while we were property shopping. Can't say I liked it much. Some great restaurants, great beach shoreline but I find the village hot. Just the way the buildings are laid out inhibits the breeze making the place feel hotter than it may actually be. I couldn't find clothes for people who are not on vacation which means a trip off the peninsula. And the peninsula has over 40 obstacles that are meant to slow you down. Speed bumps, rumble strips, etc. I get why they are there and for somebody who was going off the peninsula every few days those obstacles became a royal pain in the ... There is no immigration office in Placencia so it's either an hour long drive up and around to Independence or a 15 minute boat ride over to Independence every month," remarked another expat in Placencia, Belize.

"Expats and digital nomads living in Placencia, often like the laid-back atmosphere, beautiful beaches, and warm weather. They appreciate the friendly and welcoming local community, as well as the relatively low cost of living compared to other popular expat destinations. The availability of fresh seafood and local produce is also a plus for many. On the other hand, some expats and digital nomads may dislike the limited availability of certain goods and services, as well as the sometimes slow and unreliable internet connection. The lack of public transportation and the need for a car to get around can also be a downside for some. Additionally, the humid climate and presence of bugs and mosquitoes can be bothersome for those not used to tropical environments," said a member in Placencia, Belize.
