Jjem Cabanas

Lovely place for adults/couples on the beach. Private cabanas fully stocked with everything you need, king sized beds. Comfortable patios in the shade, lovely lounge chairs on the beach, immaculately groomed white sand beach; 15 min or so from the Village with shops and restaurants, but there are also restaurants close by. The hosts, Michelle and Ed (and their daughter Jessica, who does most of the booking) were super friendly, responsive and fun people to chat with. They have some old coaster bikes you can use and kayaks for mellow days on the water. Highly recommend.

Jjems cabanas are the ultimate adult paradise experience! The hosts are absolutely amazing and will leave you wanting nothing. The cabanas are fully and very well stocked. The bed was so comfortable and the ac and wifi was strong. The hosts left us some goodies as a welcome & anniversary gift and they did not disappoint. The ocean is literally steps from the cabana and morning coffee watching the sunrises were unreal. The oceanview and clear waters are out of this world. The pool was also very beautiful and clean. This piece of paradise is a must visit if you're looking to chill and decompress with total privacy! There's great restaurants nearby as well as a bowling alley & mini golf. I had the best massage of my life at Maya beach hotel and Placencia village was a short 15-20 min ride up the road so we loved to be able to go into town when we wanted to hang out and also be able to stay in total privacy at our own beachfront cabana. A car or golf cart is highly recommended but the hosts will help you with absolutely anything you may need. Michelle is an amazing, well known and respected realtor in Belize who can also help you find your own piece of paradise to call your own. If you're planning to stay in Placencia, this is exactly where you want to be. I highly recommend Jjems cabanas and cannot wait to return! HUGE thanks to the Sharpe family for sharing their piece of paradise with us. We will def be back soon!

Gorgeous doesn't even begin to describe how stunningly beautiful the cabanas, beach, pool, & entire facility are. The hosts are so wonderful. They are very generous with their knowledge of all things local and fun. Their attention to detail is unlike any place we've ever stayed before. Everything is super comfortable - the bed, pillows, sofas, beach lounges!

We had a lovely vacation staying at JJem Cabanas, even with two teens and even when our trip didn't go according to planned with unexpected illness. Michelle and Ed have the suites furnished perfectly, with everything we needed and more, and it worked out so well to have the two suites- one for the teens and one for mom and dad. Our stay was more than comfortable, and perfect to be steps to the beach and minutes to many restaurants, and Placencia Village. The furnishings are modern, clean and comfortable including extras like beach towels and floaties, and even the 'little things' you might forget. Thank you Ed and Michelle, we can't wait to come back.

My husband and I had a fantastic week in Belize thanks to the amazing hospitality of Michelle and Ed Sharpe at JJEM Cabanas. We arrived to an amazing welcome basket full of treats and fruit. The cabanas are right on the beach with a gorgeous view of the ocean. There is lots of natural light in the Cabana, and a huge bedroom with a king size bed. Delicious restaurants are within walking distance, as well as some amenities such as groceries. The locals are amazing and friendly, especially to the guests staying at JJEM Cabanas since the Sharpe family is so well known. Michelle and Ed, as well as their daughters Jess and Julia go above and beyond to ensure the stay is perfect, including helping set up golf cart rentals, and expeditions and providing insight and suggestions. All members of the family are welcoming and open to answering any questions. You will truly feel at home here and like you are part of the family! We can't wait to come back, thanks for having us! Also, Michelle is a real estate agent in Belize, so if you fall in love with the country, she can help you find your paradise home!

This was our first ever trip to Belize and choosing JJEM Cabanas was the best decision we made for our accommodations. The owners Michelle & Ed were AMAZING hosts! They made us feel at home as soon as we arrived. They thought of everything to welcome us to our cabana rental. From our welcome basket containing chips, salsa, fruit and rum to our fridge being stocked with local chocolates, jelly and crackers. The Cabana was perfectly designed. The little personal touches throughout the Cabana really made it so special. It felt like Michelle & Ed were sharing their home with us. The bed and pillows were incredibly comfortable. The kitchen contained all the supplies we needed to cook and serve amazing meals to enjoy. The view from the front porch was absolutely stunning. We saw beautiful sunrises and enjoyed watching waves crash onto the shore along with Pelicans putting on a show diving for fish. The beach was well maintained and made for a relaxing time under the palm trees by the water. The location of the cabanas was excellent. We were close to so many restaurants within walking distance to enjoy delicious food and drinks. We were able to rent golf carts from a local rental company that was recommended by Michelle which allowed us to explore the beautiful peninsula further. Having the insider info from our local hosts really helped us navigate the area easily. Overall, this was one of the best places we have ever stayed. We were not even 2 days into our trip and we were already looking at our calendar to book our next stay at JJEM. We highly recommend that you choose JJEM as your next stay in Belize!!

The property includes the owners, and then only one other two-person cabana, therefore, we had the beach, almost all to ourselves every day. The adjacent properties were not busy either. Two very good restaurants are within walking distance and Placencia is about a 20-minute drive to the south. A grocery and a local market are within walking distance too. We enjoyed scuba diving with Seahorse diving and I did an all day fishing trip with Dermin Shivers, who was excellent.

JJEM Cabanas is an oasis on the sea, beautifully crafted inside and out. The beach has a stunning sunrise and the cabana itself is gorgeous. Amazing little gifts sprinkled throughout the cabana. Definitely a perfect getaway!
