"Copal Tree is an amazing place. Nestled on top of a hill in the heart of the rainforest Rooms are very private and they have screened balconies that place you in the heart of the rainforest. Staff are so friendly and helpful. So many activities. Did a birding class in the morning and saw keelbilled toucans and collated aracaris steps from our room. Would definitely come back for a return trip."
"We arrived at 11:30 PM on the first night and we were immediately let in by security. There was no wait, very happy with the service. The property is gated and so we felt very safe there."
"Shelly was absolutely amazing! She made my stay feel exceptionally welcoming. The property was a little rustic but I feel that I was integrated into the true Belizean community by the location.I would definitely return if Shelly's personalized professional presence remains at Julia's. Thank you Shelly for your kindness during my stay."
"Beautiful property, beautiful room, amazing staff - should be a 5 star resort - amazing food!! We had the best experience- stayed in June for our anniversary and can’t wait to come back"
"This place is beautiful and well-kept. The complimentary breakfast was delicious and they did allow us to order from the menu after the first few days. We were there five nights. Our room said it had a kitchenette but there was only a coffee maker and mini fridge. Our second room did have a microwave. We had to switch rooms because on the third night we were lying in bed and saw bed bugs! We thought we had been getting bit by mosquitos but it turns out it was bed bugs! Luckily the manager took our call at 9pm and moved us to a different room. We had no trouble for the last two nights. Overall it was a great stay. The only thing that would make it better would be to offer drinking water. We had to ask to have our water bottles filled every day and ended up just buying some."
Paradise Found! Beautiful Private Villa On The Sea in the Village of Placencia!
10/10 Excellent
"Wonderful experience in a little piece of heaven. Tropical paradise. If you’ve always wanted to know what it feels like to live in an orchid filled rain forest this is the place for you. Fishing was great from the pier and everyone loved the pool, outdoor grilling setup and well equipped kitchen. Friendly and helpful hosts provided every need.Highly recommended!11"
"My husband and I visited in January 2026 and had the most AMAZING and memorable honeymoon.
The staff was wonderful and so helpful from the time we booked until the day we left. Every single person we encountered was kind, welcoming, and helpful. The people who picked us up from the airport (our flight got in a couple of hours early) came within 10 minutes to pick us up early after we called and they offered us a local beer (or water). We were welcomed at the property with a glass of champagne and warm smiles. Every excursion we requested was booked for us and confirmed the day before so we knew where to go and when we would be picked up. They offered recommendations any time we asked and even helped to rent us a golf cart for a day. Oh and they got us VIP service when we went to The Yatch Club for drinks and appetizers our last night. Every night we were greeted with a special note. The spa upstairs and restaurant as well as the poolside bar were all incredible.
The property was clean and well kept. They had a water dispenser with filtered water. I loved the soap, shampoo and conditioner. The rooms were beautiful with amazing views of the sea. The location couldn’t have been better. We could walk to everything.
The Ellysian really made a long lasting impression on us and we will be forever grateful for all they did to make our honeymoon unforgettable.
Thank you to each and every one of you for going above and beyond.
Mark and Sandy"
