The Enclave Island Retreat

12 of us traveled to this private island for a friend's birthday. Talia was very helpful and thorough with all of our pre-arrival questions. Upon arrival to BZE airport, our group was personally escorted through security to board the smaller plane (Maya Air) to transport us to Placencia. We were warmly greeted by Henry in Placencia. We arrived early, so our houses weren't quite ready. No problem, though. Henry provided beverages and told us about the island while we waited. Mario then picked us up on the boat and took us directly to the island. It was a great opportunity to see the ocean and then... wow... The Enclave! The friendly team greeted us with beverages, a smile, and a tour. Each house is beautiful! They are a little close together, but you cannot hear/see each other when you're inside. This was no issue for us. They are all modern, very clean and beautifully decorated! Our personal favorites were Woodpecker and Scarlet Macaw because of the views. It was so beautiful and peaceful to wake up to those amazing views! Laundry and cleaning service ladies were awesome too. The chef (George) and assistant (Michael/Miguel and Marlon) were amazing! George prepared breakfast, lunch and dinner for us every day. We own a restaurant, so good food is key for our travels. George did an amazing job with our meals and accommodated several of our guests' different dietary restrictions. The food and friendly service was a highlight for sure!! It rained every day, but that wasn't a problem. There are so many activities on the island (and in town) that it didn't stop us from having fun. There are kayaks, ping pong, Jenga, corn hole, cards, volleyball, shuffleboard and an indoor "game" room. Several of us got massages on the island and all were very good! We also went deep sea fishing and they cooked the fish that evening for us. I recommend these activities, along with the ATV tour and tubing tour (by Captian Jaks and Fred at Mayan World Tours). All were great activities! We rented an extra golf cart and drove around Placencia. You could walk to a lot of shops, bars and restaurants, but it was fun riding the golf carts as well! The town is very laid back and every place we visited was friendly and good. You could also buy groceries and alcohol in town. Tip: buy ABC in duty free in BZE airport and bring a lot of bug spray (only negative here). Overall, trip of a lifetime thanks to the beautiful island and staff!! THANK YOU x100!

The facilities are clean and in excellent shape. The staff were friendly and helpful. The sand flies are bad - might be in outdoor furniture. Overall we had a great time.

Wonderful staff, always ready to assist. Food was fantastic! Views, & property are gorgeous. Seemed to have incredible silent lightning storms at night for a spectacular show & days were sunny & gorgeous! What a neat phenomenon. A bit too many black flies- so come prepared. Incredible vacation! Thank you!

Personal Attention was the name of the game from Day 1...And with this in mind made our stay at the Enclave Fun, Relaxing and Worry Free. It is hard for me to think about a time I have thought a property exceeded the pictures, but the Enclave is a place that did. The Villas were well appointed and common areas were perfect for our needs. The Staff Was Awesome!!!!....But now to what made it Great...Talia and her staff were totally committed to make your stay perfect from the moment the reservation was made. About half of our guest used air transport to Placencia, and the other used ground from Belize City. Both ways went off without a hitch. The food on the island was very good, it was really good to start early in developing your menu. The Chef was able to make all our requests come true. The rest of the items were handled the same way, whether it was extra Golfcarts to Excursions, Talia and Company were on it and made it happen...It is also nice to visit the Village of Placencia, Tuesday’s and Wednesday’s are a little more hopping due to Cruise ship arrivals but it was no where near crowded....For a final word, most of us stayed on the island relaxing and enjoying what it had to offer.....But Fun was had by ALL!!!

We had a large group of friends celebrating 40th birthdays and chose to stay at The Enclave. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed their stay and would highly recommend it and even visit again. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The Villas were all beautiful. Not a bad room on the island! The food that the chef prepared for us was delicious, fresh and made from scratch. The concierge was very helpful with arranging excursions and spa treatments. Our trip had the perfect balance of relaxation, adventure, and fun! Highly recommended!

If you ever wanted to experience private island life then you should go to Belize. The Enclave on Placencia Caye was an amazing place to spend 7 days. The private chef is incredible with food selection you will not get anywhere else. The staff are at your call for anything you might need to make your stay the best. The casitas were amazing with tons of privacy and beautiful views from everywhere you look. We are already scheduled for next year and can’t wait to get back. You really do get caught up in the beauty and are able to truly relax. They can personalize any meal you want and take care of any dietary needs from your group. I can’t say enough about the staff and there ability to meet our needs. Don’t miss out on a vacation of a lifetime. Our whole group rebooked while sitting on the island.

Fantastic experience

I can't say enough good things about this property and its staff. From start to finish, they do everything right. Any questions we had were immediately addressed, as any first-class operation would do. We were a group of 13 renting the island. The well-planned design of the space allowed each couple to have their own villa, offering privacy and some down-time, while still allow plenty of community space to enjoy group company. All of our meals were at the large table by the pool. The chef Isa was amazing. Even our picky eaters loved his meals. Fibiano, our boat captain, was always on time and friendly with our transportation to and from the island. Jessica gave wonderful massages and kept our rooms and our laundry clean and fresh. Adil and Namir were fabulously friendly and answered our questions and helped us in any way they could. Mario also was always available for any of our needs. In a word, this is a perfect place. Their dedication to guest satisfaction is obvious! I highly recommend! PS. fishing off the pier is a success and kept many in our group occupied for hours! Our group regularly caught fish. We also enjoyed the pool, the game room, and the water toy.s. Fantastic stay!
