Placencia, Belize, offers boutique properties that feel worlds apart from the typical Caribbean resort. In this episode, travel advisors Lee Friedman and Sarah Hollander walk through their hands-on insights on four standout hotels — The Ellysian Boutique Hotel, Chabil Mar Villas, Turtle Inn, and Itz’ana Resort & Residences.
