Allan’s Paradise Hotel was a great place to stay. It was super clean and the staff and owner were friendly and helpful. I loved that it was close to restaurants and activities, but tucked away in a quiet more residential area. It was lively, but at 9pm quiet. I loved that it was on the water. Not a swim able beach, but still really pretty. You can just walk a little way and get to a public beach you can swim from. The room we had was spacious and very clean, great balcony overlooking the water. The bed was firm, but comfortable. The furniture could use a little updating, but not a big deal. We ate at the restaurant for breakfast a few times, it was good and well priced. Our friends ended up with a basic room. It was very clean and a little smaller than our room, it didn’t really have a window, which for them was a draw back. I will say that Allan’s is very well priced for what you get, I would stay there again.

Amazing stay. Very pleased. It’s like meeting a whole new family with the employees and the Owner Alan. Very welcoming and accommodating. So friendly and helpful. Would stay here again in a heartbeat on our next trip in February if they had availability open.
Restaurant and Bar on premises is great.

Located beyond the paved road and a short walk through residential area past their parking lot, this resort is tucked away from the tourist chaos but close enough to walk to join in all the shopping, beach, and restaurant fun Placencia has to offer. Hotel staff were attentive but not intrusive and allowed us to use a table all day to sit and visit. Our two rooms varied in size and accommodations but were clean and comfortable.
Compared to the very pricey newer places, we felt we landed a bargain with this established resort. We would stay there again.
Staff recommended the chili lime lobster and it didn’t disappoint. Every meal there was tasty and the breakfast stuffed jack was a delight.
Although we were off season and the gift shop was closed, the book exchange shelf had some good titles, and a chairs under a palm tree offered the perfect place to read. Wi-Fi was strong throughout the hotel, but put your phone and laptop away and enjoy the view!
The staff members were gracious and hospitable. They provided golf cart rides to help retrieve luggage from the parking lot about a block away, scrounged up a ladder for us when we wanted to swim off the dock, laughed with us as they served food, and helped in any way we asked.
We borrowed resort kayaks and loved it.
The moon rose over the ocean and was visible from the resort beach.
Watch your step on uneven height stairs. Sea grass area makes beach swimming not as appealing but the sandy public beach is a short walk away.
