LYDIA'S GUESTHOUSE

COMFORTABLE ACCOMMODATIONS FOR THE BUDGET TRAVELER

Lydia’s Guesthouse has been Gold Standard Certified by
the Belize Tourism Board.

Lydia’s Guest House is owned and operated by Lydia Villanueva and family. She and her late Husband, Conrad Sr., established the guesthouse in 1989 delivering quality and traditional Belizean hospitality. Lydia’s Guesthouse provides a pleasurable, relaxing, and affordable stay for guests from all over the world. We believe in giving our guests good value for their money and offer them clean, comfortable, and safe accommodations at the north end of the Placencia sidewalk.

This excellent location means that restaurants, groceries, banks and the post office are just a few steps away, yet the surrounding neighborhood is quiet and the beach uncrowded.

CONTACT US

Lydia’s Guest House was started in 1990 by Mr. Villanueva who named the accommodation after his wife Lydia. He was a local fisherman and tour guide who saw the need for a small guesthouse. Lydia is a delight: full of hospitality and hard work. She is always seeking to improve her property and is a participant on the “Environmental Walk-Through Program” to make her accommodations conform to the Rainforest Alliance sustainable tourism program. She has been involved in tourism in the village and served on the local village council. Her laughter is contagious and she is a prime example of genuine Belizean hospitality.
