I loved my stay at Julia's Cabinas. Shelly and her staff were fantastic. The property outside is kept very tidy. The location of beachfront is wonderful. I stayed in Cabina 5 which has a view of the ocean from the deck where I enjoyed daily laying in my hammock enjoying the beautiful view. The location is basically centre in the village so you are walkable to a grocery store, and a ton of restaurants and shopping. I travelled solo and stayed for 13 nights and never once did I feel unsafe. My unit had a nice little kitchen with a fridge and micowave. The bed was comfortable and the water pressure and warmth was fantastic. The property worked for me but might not work for everyone. It's located next to one of the most popular bars in Placentia (Barefoot bar), so noise from the music does occur in the later evening. I just put ear plugs in and was fine. During the day, the music is very low so it isn't an issue and it all goes quiet at midnight. If you are looking for fancy, this is not your spot, but if you are looking for a 3 star, local, relaxed place where a friendly face will always greet you, then Julia's is the perfect spot. If you are flying in, it costs $20 BZ to get a cab ride from the airport. You can find amazing breakfast, lunch and supper prices...be sure to check out the small mom & pop places on the main road where you can get tacos for or an egg burrito from a local woman selling from a plastic container down by the bus stop. I loved Belize!!!
