We stayed at Barnacle Bill's 3/22/2013 - 3/30/2013. The best eight relaxing days on the beach. Thanks to Bill for setting up the golf cart and advising us on the local eateries. This place is a true find if you want undisturbed private time on what seems to be your own beach. The property is kept in meticulous condition right... More

This place has it all. It's situated right on the beach where you can get up in the morning and enjoy your coffee with an incredible view. The bungalow has a kitchen where we could make breakfast and save money by making a couple of dinners. The market is just down the street so that was convenient. Bill and Adriane... More

We stayed at Bills for Christmas Week 2011. I give Bill and his establishment the highest possible ratings ! I'd traveled to Belize many times but never made it to Maya Beach and Placencia. Bill and his advice made everything smooth and exceeded my expectations. Bill knows the deal of what is best to do and see and eat. I... More

My wife and I stayed at Barnacle Bills in June 2012. It was exactly what we wanted for our honeymoon. If you want seclusion, Barnacle's is an ideal place in Stann Creek. I couldn't imagine a better place to stay. Only problem which we knew before going down is that there is no air conditioner. We only needed it 1... More

We had a great stay for 8 nights in April 2012. Our bungalow was clean and comfortable with the ceiling fans and floor fan keeping us cool at night. Bill and Adriane were great at booking tours for us and getting us a rental car. We were on the same Monkey River tour as folks who were staying at the... More

I spent a week at Barnacle Bill's in January 2012 and can't say enough good things. Bill, Adriane and Scurvy are the greatest hosts on the planet. Maya Beach is a wonderful little village filled with friendly people and several wonderful eateries. If you want to venture further, they will arrange a rental car to come get you. But why... More

We can't say enough about Barnacle Bill's! The accommodations were all that we had hoped for- everything we needed was right there. If we wanted to venture out, there were 2 small groceries and several restaurants within easy walking distance. Bikes were available for bigger trips and kayaks were there to head out into the water. Adriane and Bill are... More

This was the second leg of an 11 day trip to Belize. What an unexpected little gem this was. We were just feet from the water and the bungalow was stocked with whatever we needed and if we needed something else Bill and Adrianne sure knew where to get it. Short walk to many great restaurants, bars and bodegas. Kayaks... More

Bill's is the type a place i really like in a get away vacation. I'm just not really into the sterility and the closed off concrete of hotels. Give me a good condo or bungalow and I'm happier then I'll ever be in a Four Seasons. Don't get me wrong, luxury accommodations have upsides and value comes at a cost.... More
