We loved our stay at the Banks. Check in was easy. The house is fully equipped with everything to make your stay most enjoyable. You wake up to birds chirping. The closed in veranda made for enjoying the outdoors without the sand flies. Our fishing boat came to our door for pick up and delivery. The use of the kayaks was a bonus. Would have used the fishing poles provided but they need longer fishing line. We will definitely look at coming back.
This property was just what we were looking for. Although you canât swim in the river, listening to the birds, kayaking and sitting in the screened in porch to enjoy the river were great for us. We did rent a car for three of our seven days to go hiking in Mayflower Bocawina NP and drove to Placencia one day. The bikes were great to go to Hopkins and we also walked once. Anthony was great at answering our questions and we bought some groceries and cooked some meals as well as enjoyed local restaurants. Bring cash. Thereâs only one bank machine and it was broken. Credit cards are fine for restaurants and grocery stores but you need cash for road side stalls. The host was quick to respond to questions as well. Not the place if youâre looking for human nightlife and resorts which is why it worked so well for us!
