Occupancy and Guest Policy

The maximum occupancy is 9 guests. The home was not built to accommodate more than 9 people, and its Belize Tourism Board license permits up to 9 guests.

An accurate guest count is required before check-in. Unregistered guests are not permitted on the property unless approved in advance. Parties, events, or gatherings involving unregistered guests or exceeding the maximum occupancy are not permitted.

Noise Expectations

This is a home for relaxation and reconnecting with nature, not a party house. Because voices carry across the lagoon, please keep outdoor noise at a considerate level and do not use amplified music after 8:00 p.m.

Please respect the neighbors and enjoy the sounds of the breeze, birds, and jumping fish.

Environmental Monitoring

For safety and comfort, the property uses discreet, camera-free environmental monitors. These devices do not record sound or images and only monitor humidity, temperature, smoke, and noise levels.

Guests will be notified only if monitored levels exceed established thresholds.

Conservation and Local Systems

Air Conditioning

Please turn off air-conditioning units when you are away from the property. Belize has limited power infrastructure, and conserving energy helps prevent outages.

Septic System

Flush only natural waste. Do not flush toilet tissue. Covered waste bins are provided and collected twice a week.

Liability and Water Activities

By making a reservation, all members of the party agree to release the hosts from liability, including financial responsibility, for injuries or personal property damage that may occur during the stay.

The property is immersed in nature, and wildlife is part of the experience. Use of the pool, kayaks, and bicycles is at the guest’s own risk. Guests accept responsibility for bodily injury arising while on the property and agree to hold the owner harmless.

The Placencia Lagoon is directly in front of the villa and is available for exploration using the complimentary kayaks. Swimming in the lagoon is not permitted, and kayaking is undertaken at the guest’s own risk.

The pool area is not gated, and guests have unobstructed access to the lagoon. These areas may pose risks to unattended small children and non-swimmers.
