International Living Community

Look for, and join, the "Placencia News & Happenings" group on Facebook. Volunteer opportunities get posted there. There is probably a similar group for Hopkins as well. Other options you could consider contacting directing are: Placencia Humane Society and Placencia Rotary. You should be able to contact both through Facebook.

If you have not figured it out yet, Facebook is how things get done here in Belize!

For a two week rental, your best option in Placencia will be AirBnb or VRBO. You could locate a few places on those sites and then contact them direct and see if they will offer a multi-week discount. However, February is busy season here so most places may not be willing to offer a discount. Here are a few places the come to mind that you could take a look at:

Alaska Reprieve Bella Sway Bella Vita Casitas Casa Valencia The Flying Toucan Lazy Palm Suites Sea Glass Inn Seabird Villas Serenity by the Sea Silver Leaf Villa White House Placencia

When you are here, be sure to swing by and say "hi" at Placencia Beach Club.
