Taking a pot shot at your competition?
Factual apart from "Placencia has better beaches".
I disagree and think that is subjective rather than fact or fiction. Placencia has dark rough sand that is hard to walk on and really hot. I have never seen the water colour even closely resemble San Pedro's, and never seen that Blue Sky Blue Blue Water shot that San Pedro almost always has. Brown mucky looking water due to river run off and dark sandy bottom. You get the great looking water out at the Cayes and Reef but not at Placencia. I never feel the water calling me there like it does here.
