The Placencia Resort in Belize Joins Hyatt
Hyatt Hotels announced today plans to add the first Hyatt-branded hotel in Belize with The Placencia Resort. For now, the property is entering the Hyatt portfolio as an affiliated hotel before joining the Destination by Hyatt brand and World of Hyatt loyalty program late next year.
Nestled south of Mexico, east of Guatemala, and next to the Caribbean Sea, The Placencia Resort is located on the Placencia Peninsula, a verdant, 13-mile long beach in southern Belize near the largest barrier reef in the western hemisphere.
By late 2025, The Placencia Resort is expected to offer 90 reimagined guestrooms, suites and beachfront villas following a $10 million dollar renovation including an enhanced arrival experience with playfully refined public areas. Shortly after, guests can expect a new dynamic three-meal restaurant, indoor/outdoor event space perfect for social gatherings, an overwater signature restaurant and bar, and a refreshed pool and pool bar experience.
The property is located just a short distance from the quaint village of Placencia, which offers a casual take on beachfront living with a selection of shops, eateries and bars.
Home to Belize’s largest swimming pool, The Placencia Resort offers distinct experiences for sun-seeking adventurers such as complimentary kayaking and paddle boarding, and unlimited private beach access. Complimentary bicycles are offered on property to tour surrounding grounds or ride to Placencia village.
Guests can explore day trip tours to the inland of Belize with guided tours to Mayan archeological sites, cave expeditions and jungle adventures. Individualized planning support is available at guest disposal with ‘experience concierges’, creating custom escapes to make the most of your time in Belize.
The Placencia Resort is the latest Hyatt addition in the Latin America and Caribbean region, with forthcoming openings slated to debut by end of 2024, including Hyatt Centric Santo Domingo in the Dominican Republic, Dreams Grand Island in Cancun, Mexico, Hyatt Centric San José Escazú in Costa Rica and Hyatt Regency Panama City in Panamá. The Destination by Hyatt brand portfolio continues to expand in the region, with the recent opening of The Legend Paracas Resort in Peru and the anticipated debut of Cas En Bas Beach Resort St. Lucia in 2025.
Once The Placencia Resort joins the Destination by Hyatt brand in late 2025, World of Hyatt members will have the opportunity to earn and redeem points on stays.
