We stayed in the Namaste Room (upper level, ocean view, 2 hammocks, comfortable seating). It was wonderful. Breakfast was perfect and appreciated. We stayed for 3 nights. Levi helped us with our luggage from the main street down the sidewalk - and drove us to our next hotel in the village. Owners were very responsive to messages. Highly recommend.

Perfect location on the beach and just off the Placencia sidewalk. Very clean, comfortable bed, spacious area inside and on the patio. The staff is great and were always very accommodating. We will definitely stay here again.

A perfect stay. It’s not like the Belizean Nirvana needs another glowing review but it does deserve one! The attention to detail is remarkable. The extras really set it apart- kayaks, bikes, hammock for the deck, breakfast, shuttle, loungers for the beach, coffee, beach towels etc, etc.
You won’t regret your decision to stay here. Just promise not to take my week next year!

A Belizean Nirvana is exactly that: nirvana. It’s an amazing gem that does everything right, and the care that the owners put into it shines in every detail. The location can’t be beat — right on the water and in the heart of Placencia, surrounded by great restaurants and things to do. Extremely comfortable and spacious room. And we loved that on the mornings when we had tours and had to leave before breakfast started, we could arrange to have breakfast delivered to our room the night before.

Belizean Nirvana was incredible from start to finish. The staff were some of the kindest, most genuine people we’ve ever met — every little detail felt personal and thoughtful. The room was spotless, beautifully kept, and they even surprised us with flowers on the bed for our anniversary, which was such a sweet touch.

Everything about the stay was amazing — the location, the vibe, the service. The only downside was that we only booked two nights. We could’ve easily stayed a week. Can’t wait to come back.

We stayed at Belizean Nirvana for 4 nights in October 2025. This boutique hotel is located directly on the beach, and the views from our room were stunning- so much so that we woke up early to watch the sunrise over the water each morning.
Our room felt more like a well-appointed condo than a typical hotel room. It had a separate living room and bedroom, two full bathrooms, a fully equipped kitchen with granite countertops, and beautiful wood accents throughout. The added bonus of a water purification system was appreciated, and the oversized jet tub in the bathroom was a relaxing treat (used it twice!).
The staff did a great job keeping the beach clean and free of seaweed. Breakfast was served on the rooftop from 8:30–9:30 a.m., but since we had early excursions, they thoughtfully delivered breakfast to our room the night before—such a nice option!
The location is ideal: central and walkable to plenty of restaurants, the pier, and most excursion departure points. While there’s no on-site parking (which seems common for beachfront properties in the area), Belizean Nirvana offers free parking in a private lot just a 3 minute walk away. Staff made arrival easy by meeting us to drop off our luggage before parking.
Other thoughtful amenities included beach towels, a welcome drink of rum punch, and overall helpful, friendly service.
Highly recommended for anyone looking for a relaxing, well-located, and comfortable beachfront stay in Placencia.

My family and I enjoyed our short stay in the Namaste apartment at the Belizean Nirvana in Placencia. The apartment was larger than expected with a beautiful veranda overlooking the ocean. When I was researching accommodations, the Belizean Nirvana was one of the few that offered breakfast, which was a plus given that my husband and I traveled with our teen and tween. The hotel was central to all of the restaurants and shops on the island. Barbara and Evan were wonderful and available if we needed them.

Birthday Celebration

My first time to Belize, My stay at Nirvana was amazing. Minutes from Placentia airport. If you are looking for the perfect location for relaxation and quiet, Nirvana is it. Barbara and Evan including their staff were tentative and accommodating. Shout out to Carolyn and Levi! There is a warm sense of community in Placentia, loved it.
Freshly picked coconut water. The area is walkable and safe. Waking up to an astounding sunrise and winding down with a remarkable sunset. My birthday was on the full moon so it was extra special for me. Supermarket and restaurants are all steps away. We will be returning for another visit soon, can't wait.

The Nirvana was an excellent choice for Placencia. Right on the beach and convenient to all the local restaurants and beach bars. Evan and Barbara were both great hosts and we had a great stay. The hotel is well maintained and feels very homey, all the amenities that you need. The breakfast was also very good.

I stayed five nights at Nirvana in mid-April. It’s a great place to stay in Placencia. It’s centrally located in the village and is an easy walk to bars, restaurants, shopping, and the dock from which many excursions depart. I had a first-floor unit with plenty of space, a comfortable bed, and very nice porch. The beach is right outside the front door of the unit. There is a light breakfast on the roof each morning and the staff was very friendly and helpful. I’m already thinking about staying at Nirvana again.

Stay Here and Thank Me Later!

Best hotel we have stayed at anywhere in Belize (and one of my all-time favorites anywhere)! Nirvana pretty much sums it up.

Beautiful room, comfy bed and an incredible porch with chairs and hammocks overlooking the Caribbean. Staff is also wonderful, accommodating and friendly. Bonus was the kayaks and paddleboards that were available steps from the sea. Also, the best beach we have seen in Belize (and we have travelled all over). Cannot think of a single thing I would change about this place.

My girlfriend and I loved our stay there. The breakfast was always adequate and the room was amazing, extremely spacious and comfortable with cable and streaming on both big screens. The kitchen was great too with a central range.

We went kayaking and biking and the staff were super accommodating.

I felt safe there, just keep in mind it is in the middle of placencia so if you don’t want to immerse yourself in the culture and the people of the strip go to a remote resort. I loved this characteristic of the resort but other people may differ.

Belizean Nirvana is located centrally on the peninsula to walk everywhere, the room was the nicest we had in belize, the AC was cold, breakfast on the roof was perfect. The staff was so nice, and helpful.
The pictures do not do this place justice!!
Our friends stayed upstairs in the big room...wow, full huge kitchen, bedroom, and bath...all huge!

I'm planning another trip in the fall and I'm staying here!

Beautiful beachfront property that is well equipped and modern. We enjoyed its location to many restaurants and the village. They serve a breakfast on the rooftop patio every morning which is delicious. Barbara and Evan went above and beyond to make our stay a very enjoyable one. Highly recommend this hotel.
