You guys do a great job. This place is as close to perfect as it gets. We walked the entire beach from Placencia to here and a good stretch of beach to the North. We both agreed that the bungalows at "Barnacle Bill's" were the best! Becker & Rusty - July 2005, Texas

We were so pleased to be in a quiet place with such beauty. We thank you for your hospitality. Wayne & Joy - June 2005, Shepherd, Michigan

Barnacle Bill's was the escape we needed for a little rest & relaxation. In addition to the wonderful memory of getting engaged on the beach here, we will fondly remember the good hospitality, great food, perfect view, and ocean breeze. Hopefully when life gets hectic back in the states we will be able to close our eyes and think of our stay here to remind us there is always a place to go where the pace of life is perfect. Thank you. Laura & Noah, May 2005.

The following is a picture from our guest book showing the view from the porch of the blue bungalow.

Actually we've planned to stay for 9 nights. Now it's been 15! We loved the bungalow, the sound of the sea, the beach, Adriane & Bill, who were always there for us, and Scurvy (the dog), always good for a hug, and all the little (and big) adventures we had. Thank you for having completed a stay on cloud 7. (Yes, in Germany, we call it 7, not 9). We will miss you! Frank & Gela - Oct 4th, 2004

Great things to do!
*Kayak out to False Caye & snorkel! Lots of starfish over there.
*Tour to Silk Caye
*Tour to Monkey River - definitely
*Tour to Laughing Bird Caye
*Placencia
Bill & Adriane - we loved our stay here and will be back. We think we got the best place to stay anywhere! Steve & Jacqi - June 2004 - Phoenix, AZ

We've walked the beach from Placencia Point to Calico Jack's and now know your place was by far the best-suited anywhere for our low-key needs. The website lured us in, and we got just what it promised - peace, privacy and cozy self-sufficiency. We appreciated the chance to rest, read books, and watch birds right from the deck with coffee in the morning. Everything else was a bonus - the lagoon, the kayaking, snorkeling from the beach, the veggie vender ... Thanks for giving us the opportunity to stay here. Janice & Rod - April 5th thru 21st, 2004 - Ithaca, NY

Bill & Adriane - Wow!! We sure hate to leave both of you, Scurvy & Barnacle Bill's! Our stay here exceeded our expectations from the moment that we arrived to the moment that we had to leave! I just can't say enough about the wonderful place you have set up here. Cabanas: perfect, beach: perfect, dog: perfect, hosts: awesome, road to Seine Bight: not so much (4 out of 5 ain't bad). So thanks for everything - sure hope to catch up with you both again, right here at Barnacle Bill's. Becki & Tom - March 14th, 2004

Dear Bill & Adriane. It was very good to be back after an 18 month absence. And no, I wasn't in jail. Things are quickly changing here, but you guys remain the same. You & your place will always be special to me & as long as you're still here, I'll be coming back to torture you. Gary (Punta King) Padlesky - June 2004

The perfect honeymoon! We came to relax & recharge our badly depleted batteries, and we leave with a full enough charge to last until we return next week! (sigh, or not until next year). The cabin is wonderful, designed so that you get a breeze strong enough to make you question air-conditioning, (and to make people from Hotlanta question AC is a feat indeed), with enough creature comforts to relax, but not too many to distract you from the setting. And what a setting it is. The location is amazing, the view in the night & in the day held our attention for hours & we appreciate all your efforts to create such a great beachfront. In fact we appreciate everything you have done here. We know that we were not the most social guests (honeymooners and all), but we really want to tell you how magical a place you have created and we thank you so much for opening it up to us! Jared & Heather - Aug 4th thru 10th, 2003 - Altanta, Georgia

Can't thank you enough. Five prior trips to Belize & finally we've done it right. The place is perfect. Thank you so much for all the little extras you two did to make our stay the very best we've had in Belize! Harley & Mary - May 15th thru 27th, 2003 - Tampa, Florida

Your reality is my dream. Matt Dolphin - April 2003

I mastered the art of doing nothing. Barry, April 10th, 2003

Your piece of this earth is my heaven on earth. Shauna (6 time or more, return guest) - Dec 25th, 2002 - Longmont, Colorado

Keep the sea breeze to your face, the sun to your back, and a Belikin beer in each hand for balance. John - Aug 12th, 2002 - Aurora, CO

This place rocks. By far the best bungalows & beach on Maya Beach. The kitchen was key & the sunrises even better. Future guests, I highly recommend taking sea kayaks to the lagoon to see the dolphins & manatees. Or to False Caye for some snorkeling. We had a blast!!! Russ & Michelle - June 15th, 2005 - Lakewood, Colorado

What a wonderful, relaxing time we have spent here. Very well-equipped bungalows. We'll be sure to recommend your place to any friends traveling to Belize. You have made the past 10 days so blissful. Jane & Tony - March 11th thru 21st, 2005 - Alberta Canada

The bungalow was very comfortable. I loved the fireflies. I had never seen any before. The waves welcomed us with the sound of the pounding surf & surprised us with really calm waters later. I liked to hear the laughter made by the geckos & all the interesting bird calls. Thanks again for everything. Shannon & Andy - Feb 27th , 2005

We have had such a wonderful time in Belize, made extra special by your hospitality. Your cabana has been a "home away from home". We will remember you with fond memories & best wishes. Amy & Albert - May 24th, 2003 - Connecticut

We can only say 'PERFECT' be it the location, your kindness & friendliness, or the efficiency & thoughtfulness from the clean & well-equipped kitchen to the useful hints in your welcome folder. Thanks for making our stay relaxed & happy! All the best for the future, maybe one day we will be back (baby) as our fellow countryman Arnold Schwarznegger says. Tom & Elfie, Feb 27th thru Mar 9th, 2003 - CA & Europe

Our expectations were far-exceeded by your beautiful cabins with their gorgeous woodwork, set on your spectacular beach, and cared for by two of the most sincere and kindness folks we could ever hoped to meet. As seasoned travelers, this ranks among our best trips ever. Thanks! Diane & Luther -Jan 25th thru Feb 4th, 2003 - Lincoln, Nebraska

Thank you for making our stay most comfortable. Your place goes beyond your description. Pat & Dee - August 10th, 2001

A wonderful relaxing place, when the adventure subsides. Neil & Deb - July TH, 2001

In a word, "Awesome"! You have a great place here. I really enjoyed it. You folks, the puppies, and everyone I have met in Belize are just great folks. Your extras that come with the cabin are so nice, much more than I ever expected. If you ever want, feel free to have anyone email me, and I will surely tell them how to enjoy a great vacation at "Barnacle Bill's" in Belize. Doc Don - May 25th, 2001

So very glad to have been lucky enough to meet both of you and to have spent time here. We'll be back. Laura & David -April 13th, 2001

Nice Place! We had a blast & your hospitality went beyond the call of duty. Gigi - April 26th, 2001

All I can say is "wow". Perfect weather and the most beautiful setting on earth. We felt we were "home" the minute we got here, and are sad to be leaving. This place is all I ever imagined it to be and more! Thanks for sharing your paradise with us. Lorena & Bob - March 29th, 2001

There is no question that at Barnacle Bill's you aim to please. My second trip was better than my first. I am sure that my next trip, I'll start having fun. Gary "The Punta King" - April 14th thru 30th, 2000

Third trip and it just gets better! Three weeks isn't long enough. The Punta King, 5 time guest, "Guest of the Year" 3 years running, Jan 24th, 2001

We felt at home here in this wonderful place. Our new motto is "why buy, when you can just rent from Bill and Adriane". Like Arnold says, "I'll be back." Stacy & Dana - Jan 15th, 2001

We spent weeks researching and deciding on a place to stay during our visit. What we have experienced here with you surpassed our hopes. We've had a great time at your beautiful place, enjoyed the care, love & attention you put into your bungalows and your guests. We BE-LIKIN it. Greg & Trish.

I couldn't of asked to spend my first vacation out of the U.S.A. in a more beautiful place. Both of you are great hosts. Sharon - Aug 10th, 2001

If anyone would have told me at any point in my life that the word barnacle would bring a smile to my face and bring to mind some of my fondest memories, I would not have believed them. Thank you for establishing a place where people can come enjoy a cozy, clean, comfortable environment where standards do not have to be compromised. Leah & Steve, Jan 26th, 2000

After "scoping-out" the area, we agree you have the nicest accommodations around. Don, Bernie, Lance & Nicole - Jan 2nd, 2002

This week we've traveled across Belize. Your hospitality and accommodations were the absolute BEST!! Thanks for everything. Cheryl & Al - May 27th, 2001

Beautiful, peaceful, relaxing ... EXACTLY what we were looking for!! We will definitely be back. Kelly & Bill - May 3rd- 10th, 2001
