It is very easy to get to Belize from the United States. Continental, American Airlines, and Taca all serve Belize City. Most flights goes through Houston or Miami. The 2½ hours flight will bring you to the Philip Goldson International Airport (flight code BZE) in Belize City.
Placenica is located about 100 miles south of Belize City and the International Airport. There are 3 Ways you can get to Placencia from Belize City, fly, drive or take a bus.
Flying down to Placencia from Belize City (a 30 minute flight) is the method we most recommend. There are frequent flights to Placencia from Belize City throughout the day on Tropic Air and Maya Island Air, Belize's two local airlines. Most Resorts offer there guests complimentary pick-up and return service to the Placencia Airstrip, however you could just get a taxi to go the resort in the Village. We can also arrange your local flights at no extra cost.
If you are planning to make a tour of the country, spending a few days in the mountains and a few days at the beach, you might want to rent a car. However, if you are just coming to Robert's Grove, we suggest that you fly to Placencia. The scenery driving down is quite lovely, but chances are, once you make the drive down, you won't feel like driving back (and if you are renting a car in Belize, you must return your vehicle to where you picked it up).
Because the roads are only partially paved, it takes 3 hours to drive down from Belize City, and you can never be sure what the road conditions are going to be like.
Taking the bus is the least desirable way to get to Placenica. The buses are not air-conditioned, and they have a reputation for breaking down
