We looked at a lot of properties in the Placencia/Seine Bight/Maya Beach area before choosing Casa At Last...and it's unlikely we could have made a better choice. This is a very private 4 cabana property run by a pair of quietly efficient Americans: Cat and Dale. It is spotlessly clean, beautifully landscaped, and hauntingly quiet. Aside from an occasional truck passing by on the road far away, the only sounds we ever heard were the wind in the trees, mourning doves and songbirds, and a Belikin beer bottle being opened.
Cat's food is everything other reviewers have raved about, and Dale's local smarts proved invaluable all week long. The pool is perfect for cooling off around the honor bar, and the delicious home cookin' is served poolside. Order your breakfast the night before, and Cat will bring it to your porch in the morning...the perfect place to start your lazy day.
Dale and Cat have bikes to ride and kayaks to paddle so you can explore the extensive lagoon out back. The beach is across the street and there are some good spots nearby. And although the property is in Seine Bight, a few miles north of Placencia, the bus into town is reliable and only $2, and taxis are always available.
Casa At Last may be off the radar and the big-name travel books, but make no mistake, this is a very private, very intimate little property perfect for couples, honeymooners, and anyone who's trying to get away from it all. Perhaps best of all...no kids allowed. We love kids....just not during "our" time. For us, Casa At Last hit it out of the park.
