Lari beya is a small locally owned resort. They staff is great and the general vibe could not be better. Its quiet and the grounds and location are splendid. This resort is across from the moorimgs charter base, it is not in the small town of placencia. It is approximately 15 to 20 minute taxi ride away. They do have a fleet of golf carts they will rent you so you can get around and drive into the town as you wish. I highly recommend this place unless your goal is to get drunk in the bars in the town... you would be better off gutting a room at a hotel in the town so you cohld stumble home ! That said, word is the drinks at lari beya are really good :)

we loved being on the beach. They give you bottle water in your room, which we loved! The town is about 5 min away. We saw parrots and hummingbirds on the resort! The entire staff is amazing! If you can walk over the seaweed into the ocean....the ocean is warm and amazing!

Good value a la carte, no value in all-inclusive
Stayed for 2 nights, 1 in a deluxe oceanview and the second in a suite as we were upgraded. Suite was very good, room was good. Property was good, nice pool and restaurant. Don't feel all-inclusive would be worth the cost. Stayed a la carte was better value. Good location to town, good service from the staff

Not sure about the all-inclusiveBasic rate is good
Very good stay. We were upgraded to an oceanview suite for the first night. Amazing. The second we had a delux room which was also nice but a step down. Great private patio with ocean views. Hammocks. Dinner was good. We were not on the all-inclusive package so the value was good. Im not sure the additional 440 per night is worth it.

Laru Beya is a quaint, pretty and friendly resort. It was very quiet when we went, during rainy season. The rooms are HUGE and feel more like a condo than a hotel room with full, well-equipped kitchens. The rooms were sparkling clean and well-air conditioned. The pool is also kept very very clean. The staff was very friendly, from housekeeping to restaurant staff. We especially enjoyed Nelsy, who addressed us by name throughout our visit and was incredibly sweet and genuine. It is nice to have a car when staying here (Placencia rental car is walking distance) or to rent a golf cart (same price), as it's about 3 mi. from Placencia Village and perhaps 12 miles to Maya Beach to the north. . You can also use the resort's bikes to get to nearby Publix grocery. Overall, a beautiful property with warm, welcoming people!

Laru Beya is a quiet resort situated on the beach and surrounded by palm trees and well kept gardens. It is an ideal location for families, couples and singles of all ages. The staff are wonderful and are determined to make your stay the very best. Mildred will assist with trips and tours, Emery, Santiago and Nelsey take care of your food and drink needs at the on-site restaurant (The Quarterdeck). Our room was well taken care of daily by Ms. "J" with fresh towels for personal and beach use every day. Bikes (free) and golf carts (fee) are available for travel into Placencia, Seine Bight is a short walk from the resort. Book your tours through the resort, they are cheaper than the other tour operators and Simon Pau is hands down the best guide.

Staff is wonderful, rooms are really large with all the amenities to include full stove and fridge, nice deck with hammock and chairs - overall very comfortable (and grocery store is a 15 min walk down the road). But people can make or break your stay - Mildred who is at the front desk, is great. We spent a week sailing first with the Moorings and she arranged for our luggage to be moved while we were at Xunantunich. Nice pool area and restaurant/bar with welcoming crew. Wish I had one more day here!

Small resort, very clean and well maintain. Seems at times as if it is your own little paradise. Everyone goes out of their way to make your stay as comfortable and welcoming as possible. From the staff knowing your name, to assisting you with scheduling rides into town or answering questions about the traditions and culture of this part of Belize. As well as assisting you with your menu choices in the restaurant.

The staff of Laru Beya make this resort. They knew our names when we arrived, and introduced themselves to offer to do whatever they could to make our stay effortless, peaceful and fully enjoyable. If you are looking for a wild and crazy beach party with lots of noise, this is probably not the place for you. This was the perfect place for us to enjoy the ocean and pool, and it is also close enough to Placencia to rent a golf cart and go into town. Our room was outstanding, and had everything we needed. The cleaning staff were generally very good about coming in and getting everything tidied up while we were at breakfast at the Quarterdeck. The only exception to that was when we came back a little early while they were decorating our room for my birthday. The extra care that went into that was just over the top! There are other restaurant choices within a golf cart ride, but the Quarterdeck is really the only place you need to go. The other places were fine, but not as personal and the food wasn't any better anyplace else we tried. Having this restaurant on site is a great feature. We liked being at a smaller resort and would certainly come back again. Other things that you need to be aware of when considering Laru Beya is that it is north of Placencia, so you will need transportation to go into town. You CAN drink the water. Transport is to/from the Placencia airfield. Beer means Belikin (very good). And unfortunately you can't take the staff with you. Overall, amazing!
