Azure Del Mar

Azure is a special gem in Palencia. Outstanding staff and VERY well kept. The welcome drinks and floral/swan presentation helped make my wife’s bday even more special.

It was a lovely place for some rest and relaxation. Check in was excellent, room was a little dated but had character. Pool was kept clean and so was the beach. Nice to have cushions on the furniture.

Azure Del Mar Everything was perfect except that one of the shutters on the front would not close completely and made keeping cool a challenge.

As advertised! A small, family friendly resort style property. Cute cabanas (with AC) right on the beach, a cool refreshing pool beside the beach to rinse off the salt water. Sand is a soft slightly golden white. Water is shallow and sandy right off the beach, you can easily and safely walk out to play in the waves. The restaurant has long open hours serving a mix of local and North American style food. In March it is hot, 33C. But there was a constant onshore cooling breeze. That, and the whole property is well shaded with huge palm trees and bougainvillea trees. The restaurant is also open air right out onto the beach, well shaded, so always breezy and cool. Maria on the front desk is wonderful and can arrange a cab ($20US to town) snorkelling, river adventure, ruins trip, golf carts to rent. They have a couple of bikes with baskets. It is a short 5 minute bike ride to the local convenience store for beer, wine, liquor, fresh fruit and veg, beverages, sunscreen, etc. Watch for off season specials like rates that include breakfast. Also highly recommend a massage right on property.

Great stay. Nice beach hotel. Room was very comfortable. Staff and restaurant were great. Lots to do in the area.

Wonderful little spot on the beach. The cabanas were excellent. Rain Shower had good pressure. The bed was comfortable. The room had a fridge, microwave and electeic kettle. The mini split kept the room cool at night and during the day the breeze through the windows was plenty to cool it off. The coffee shop was wonderful. The restraunt service wasnt great but the food was pretty good. I think they were training new staff while we were there.The bar tender was exceptional, however! Overall, the staff were very friendly and the front desk kmows you by first name. The location is great. We loved being right on the beach. Its quiete on Maya Beach than Placencia proper and we liked that a lot.
