About the Hotel
Perched along the sparkling shores of the Placencia Peninsula in southern Belize, Turtle Inn by Francis Ford Coppola is a serene beachfront hideaway that blends laid-back Caribbean charm with handcrafted Balinese style. This intimate resort features just a couple dozen individual thatched-roof cottages and villas, each uniquely decorated with artisan-crafted furnishings and opening onto private decks where white-sand beaches meet the turquoise waters of the Caribbean Sea. Surrounded by swaying palms and gentle sea breezes, guests can relax in the two infinity pools or stroll to the nearby village of Placencia for local culture and exploration—making Turtle Inn an ideal choice for couples, families, and travelers seeking both tranquility and adventure in Belize’s vibrant coastal landscape.

A very special place
We loved the Turtle Inn! The property is beautifully designed, the staff is incredible, and the service exceeded every expectation. Special shout-out to Jeremy, who made our 4-year-old feel so special by playing soccer with him during his breaks — it was truly above and beyond. The food was delicious, the beach and pool were peaceful, and the entire experience felt both relaxed and luxurious. We can’t wait to come back!

Amazing
The Turtle Inn was one of the best vacations me and my husband has ever had. The service was a 10 out of 10. The environment 10 out of 10 I highly recommend this to couples that really want to reconnect. This place is gorgeous.

Coppola hideaways are the best
Very friendly staff, beautiful setting, very good and fresh food with good wine! Our snorkeling trip was amazing: lunch on a private island, snorkeling with 3 turtles and sting rays! Definitely 5 stars!

Perfect Pizza, Great Wine, and Relaxed Vibes!
Absolutely delicious pizzas paired with fantastic wine, all enjoyed in the most relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. Loved being able to watch the pizzas being freshly cooked – such a great touch! The service was excellent from start to finish. Totally recommend this place, and a big thank you for a lovely evening!
