Reviews for Turtle Inn

A Gem in Placencia

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 1 day ago

Our seaside cottage had a wonderful view and was at the end of the property. We were only a few feet away from the "Adult Pool" which we swam in every day. The staff were super friendly and helpful and went above and beyond in everything, including our dining and arranging our two excursions. We loved the Sunset Cruise around Placencia Bay and the Monkey River Tour (insect repellent is a must). We had a fabulous stay and will surely be back. Turtle Inn is a real gem in paradise!

Awesome trip to Belize!

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 3 days ago

Enjoyed an unforgettable trip to Belize with family. We started our adventure at Blancaneaux Lodge and ended it at the Turtle Inn. Our first visit to the Turtle Inn was 12 years ago and it continues to be a special destination for us. It's been incredible sharing this place with our kids and grandkids the last two years. Martin (Manager) is very attentive and immediately greeted us when we arrived. At Turtle Inn, the staff quickly becomes family. There is so much to do and explore. It is a great place to bring kids and offers the perfect balance of adventure and downtime. I highly recommend Belize to anyone looking for a beautiful, enriching getaway. I already booked our 2027 trip!

A perfect family vacation

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 2 weeks ago

Turtle Inn absolutely delivered for our family. The snorkel tour was a highlight — swimming with sharks, turtles, and stingrays is the kind of thing my kids will talk about for years. We stayed in the Roman Laguna room, which was ideal for a family. The kids had their own separate structure with beautiful patios and a private pool. On land, my 10-year-old loved the chicken coop and my 7-year-old was obsessed with the bunnies — those small details really make it special for little ones. The décor has a distinct Wes Anderson quality to it — lived-in and considered without being pretentious. And our personal concierge Suzy was genuinely wonderful, especially with the kids. They haven’t stopped mentioning her since we got home. We can’t wait to come back.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

4 days of Tropical Bliss and relaxation!

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 4 weeks ago

My wife and I and 3 kids stayed 4 nights at Turtle Inn and absolutely loved the stay! We had come fresh off of a 3 night stay at the other Coppola resort, Blancaneax, which was equally enthralling and magical. The cabanas that we stayed at were perfection and beautifully designed, down to the last detail, to capture the beach vibe. We have never had service as exemplary as we experienced at Turtle Inn. The rooms were turned down at least twice a day, which we had never experienced anywhere else. The food choice and quality at the 3 restaurants was of the highest quality and beautifully prepared. I wholeheartedly recommend Turtle Inn as an ideal family eco-resort, and will sing it's praises to our many world-travelling friends!

BEST RESORT and BEST STAFF!

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 4 weeks ago

Absolutely spectacular resort!!!! The most amazing staff in the world! We have traveled a lot and this resort has the best GM Martin and incredible, friendly, accommodating and detailed oriented staff!!! Beautiful gigantic cabanas, ocean front views from almost every hut! Delicious food and drinks…best mojito EVER!!!! Warm pools, kayaking, biking, games, shuttle to nearby restaurants…all free! The only bad thing about it was the mosquitoes which of course the resort couldn’t do anything about it! Absolutely amazing!!! This resort also gives back to the community with their Community Fund!!! What a fantastic idea!
