"There are so many GREAT things to say about Julie's. I am 72 and have traveled the world over. I have never felt safer anywhere. Even night walks r ok. be smart though
I lost my wallet at the neighboring Barefoot bar, the night before leaving. Satiago, Julia's maintenance man, helped me look in the wee hours b4 my time to leave. He informed Shelly, Julia's property manager, of my loss. Shelly invested hours, long after I was gone. And located it.
Other Great aspects. Julia's beach is so perfect. As a naturalist I preferred the natural palm tree shade to umbrellas, huts, or beach cabanas. the dept of the water does not exceed your waist for dozens of yards, making it perfect for young children. I never found a drop off even 75 yards out, which was about chest high. wave height is minimal.
The owners son, Brian, who other reviewers call "creepy" is innocent. He simply has had a head injury, so he keeps to himself. He will do a hand bump but his speech is impaired.
The vibe for all of Placencia is very hard to describe. It is closer to family than tourist.
I found it easy to make a self stay with a Mayan beach vender, Yvette. I negotiated to stay 3 days 2 nites with her family to observe Mayan lifestyle and ware making. she is government certified
The cabana is cute and adorable, according to my wife.
mattress was good. ac/heating worked fine. You only need to ask, and Julia's will deliver. Hot plate to cook, hammack, whatever.
Out of space, crap"
"Best hotel experience we have ever had. Rooms were clean, decorated nicely, the beach area is very convenient and well kept. Vanessa at the pool bar makes some amazing cocktails. The rooftop restaurant has great views and tasty food. Teresa at the front desk spoiled us by ensuring everything went smoothly, booked restaurant reservations and excursions for us, and was absolutely lovely to chat with. I can’t recommend the Ellysian enough, we would go back in a heart beat. "
