About the Hotel
Perched along the sparkling shores of the Placencia Peninsula in southern Belize, Turtle Inn by Francis Ford Coppola is a serene beachfront hideaway that blends laid-back Caribbean charm with handcrafted Balinese style. This intimate resort features just a couple dozen individual thatched-roof cottages and villas, each uniquely decorated with artisan-crafted furnishings and opening onto private decks where white-sand beaches meet the turquoise waters of the Caribbean Sea. Surrounded by swaying palms and gentle sea breezes, guests can relax in the two infinity pools or stroll to the nearby village of Placencia for local culture and exploration—making Turtle Inn an ideal choice for couples, families, and travelers seeking both tranquility and adventure in Belize’s vibrant coastal landscape.

Reviews for Turtle Inn
Best staff in the business
I have never had a better stay at a hotel. The staff are the best in the business. I wanted to give a special shout out to Jonathan, Jimmy, and Johnny “Cash”. They made us feel like family and made sure our drinks and plates were never empty. I cannot recommend Turtle Inn enough.

A Room With A View
We had a wonderful time at Turtle Inn! We were upgraded to a beach front villa which was so nice. The staff was truly amazing. Each of them took time to get to know us and help me navigate a tricky food allergy that required special food preparation. Everything was truly delicious! Gracious hospitality and beautiful location. Perfect place to relax and enjoy the Caribbean vibe in Belize!

Perfect!
The Turtle Inn Resort experience was incredible. The grounds, staff and food were amazing. Couldn't have asked for a better way to spend my husband's birthday. The a/c was not working in our room when we checked in so they upgraded us to a villa with our own private pool - immediately with no questions asked. We were treated like royalty. We will definitely be back.

A resort done right in so many ways. We will be back!
A small luxury resort that’s wonderfully understated. The rooms and grounds are beautiful and immaculately kept by friendly staff and the service throughout was excellent. Great food, great day trips. The costs are a bit high by Belize standards but not exorbitant - and helped by the 2 for 1 happy hours where we met some great people!
