Brisa Oceano Resort
10/10 Excellent
"Wonderful stay at the Brisa! The rooms are thoughtfully designed with quality finishings (hardwood and natural stone throughout) and the staff were incredibly helpful with suggestions of what to do and arranging transport. The resort is perfectly located in the heart of Placencia but doesn't feel crowded. The beachfront itself is well-maintained and there are free kayaks and bikes to use as well. Highly recommended! "
"Mariposa is a hidden gem. It’s quiet, spacious, and welcoming. It’s super conveniently located- the Placencia airport is about a 1/2 mile away, and the Village is about a 3 min golf cart drive. It would be a long walk. There are several markets to buy snacks and drinks in the Village, as well as great restaurants. Our room was not a treehouse and was in a sub-par location/ up stairs and behind a wall- it did not overlook the pool, beach, or jungle, but provided a nice escape after days of diving. Rooms are well stocked with towels, soaps, linens, mini-bar, etc and the AC worked great. The food was good- we mostly ate breakfasts. The bar offered espresso, as well as a variety of spectacular cocktails. They infuse rum with several different types of flavors- pineapple, habanero, ginger, etc- and make beverages to suit all tastes. Gladis is amazing! We had a couples massage in our room, which the GM, George, organized for us. All in all- I would choose to stay here again!"
"Splurged on what seemed best waterfront 2 br online. Wish I hadn’t. Old, run down, torn furniture, bugs EVERYWHERE. oddly expensive w beer and food more than twice other resorts visited the week prior. Charged ungodly amounts t for teenagers to rent each item needed for tennis and pickleball. The airport shuttle is effectively the only useful or valued amenity. Staff were friendly but whomever sets prices and decides where to invest resources is doing awful job. Frequent family visitors like us will spread word and soon customer base will dry up. Much nicer places down road are also cheaper and cleaner and more plausibly walkable to at least a couple eats. Never again. Can’t believe we paid so much for crummy night. "
"This resort was amazing from the staff, who accommodated me and my wife very well, the room, the views, the food. There were plenty to do from swimming in the pool or the beach, which was literally a step off my balcony, to snorkeling, fishing, paddle boarding, kayaking, and pickleball etc. The resort is on its own lisland however they have boards to get from the island to the village on demand. This resortbis luxury and relaxation at its finest. I booked the spacious king and I'm telling you it's beautiful and luxurious and you will not be disappointed.
Just a few things to be aware of is room service was not 24/7 with a cutoff time of between 9-10pm. The food menu was a bit limited in my opinion however staff will try to accommodate your requests as much as possible. Also, there's a service charge at the end of stay which is gratuity for staff which I payed around $182USD for a 5-6 day stay.
I will definitely stay at this resort again. "
"The reality of this property is even better than pictures and description offer. The beachfront is truly lovely and the grounds are very well maintained. It seemed that all of the people working at the resort really enjoyed their jobs, and they were all so eager to help and make our stay excellent. I thought it would be awkward to share common spaces with others, but the shared areas were large and well distributed for groups, and the private rooms offer all the privacy we needed. These villas are such a gem!"
