This modern studio in the luxurious Swan Villas development features absolutely stunning architecture, shared amenities including a gorgeous swimming pool, and easy access to the nearby beach on the lagoon. With just enough space for two guests to enjoy a peaceful and scenic getaway, this rental is the perfect place to stay during your Belize vacation!

Walk up to this second-level ultra-modern studio unit and you will be impressed by the design, which focuses on relaxing colors and circle-shaped features. In this rental you will have a kitchenette where you can grab a quick snack, as well as a sitting area where you can watch some TV or use the complimentary WiFi access. This home even has air-conditioning to keep everyone cool, plus a shared laundry area that will be useful if your clothes get a little dirty while exploring the area.

When it's time to head to bed, snuggle into the circle-shaped king bed and enjoy sweet dreams of tomorrow's adventures.

This home is just the right size for two guests, so bring that special someone or a close friend to this gorgeous condo. If you step outside onto your private balcony, you will find a lovely area with seating and spectacular views of the grounds and the lagoon.

Don't forget to bring your swimsuit, aside from the stunning infinity-edge pool where you will love to swim and relax, the property also offers kayaks that you can take out to the lagoon or even carry to the ocean just a few meters away on the other side of the road.

Use the bikes at the property to get to Maya Beach, where you can find the supermarket and great restaurants. Placencia Village is about a 15-minute drive south and offers a variety of restaurants and bars, souvenir and artsy shops, and a lovely public beach.

This region is known for its amazing scuba diving and snorkeling opportunities, and you can rent gear or take lessons right in town. Whether you set off alone to explore the offshore barrier reef or go with a group to seek out the friendly manatees that live in the lagoon, you will have plenty of options here. If you're in the mood for even more adventure, you can book a tour that ventures farther into Belize for an exciting day of hiking through the jungles, exploring caves, visiting wildlife preserves, or touring Mayan ruins and maybe even a neighboring chocolate factory. However you end up spending your stay, you will have access to varied activities that will delight everyone!

Travelocity booking
The unit was unique and with a lovely pool on the lagoon side of the Maya Beach area. Access to the beach area on the sea side was limited and much of it was filled with litter. Maintenance of the suite needs an upgrade as it is a bit tired. One issue to be aware of is when booking is that you will be charged a 15% vrbo fee above what the invoice from Travelocity cost is. Dealing with vrbo is a nightmare.

Lovely place to stay!
It’s a great setting, beautiful building. The pool is lovely and faces the sunsets over the lagoon. Miriam the property manager was lovely. Note that you are not in town in placencia, so if you want to be in the action, you should have a car or be prepared to take a bunch of taxis or local busses that run every few hours. The property is on the lagoon side, so fun for kayaking but no beach access, but the property offers passes to the place via beach club. There are bikes, so getting around in chill Maya Beach or to the grocery’s stores is easy/possible. We enjoyed our stay!

FANTASTIC STAFF and Unique Stay
The room was unique and the salt water pool was so wonderful. The communication with staff was top notch from the beginning to the end. Amazing and so accommodating 5+++. The room was hot and A/C loud, but I am sure if I mentioned it to the staff they would have tried to correct it as they were professional and really cared that the stay was comfortable. Our support person Melanie was super friendly and greeted us on our arrival...she as honestly amazing and gave us pointers regarding the area. Pamela, Sheldon and Kaprie were so supportive via email as I tried to sort out my stay. I really felt the team was spot on. Thank you all so much for being so flexible. The location is not near the village so be mindful of that, 20$ US taxi ride one way, but I would go back and recommend it to others without hesitation due to all of its positive points : )
