The ferry drops us off near Placencia so that's why I'm wondering if there's any point in spending a few days there. Our tentative dates are arrive June 10th in Honduras and depart June 28th from Cancun.
Anyone have recommendations for places to stay?

I was in Belize in February and made it down to Hopkins, which is similar to Placencia, only smaller, and just north of it.
The Hopkins/Placencia area is known for having some of the nicer beaches in Belize. A lot of people don't realize that Belize doesn't actually have great beach areas, so if some beach time is important to you I'd say it's worth a night or two stay.
There seemed to be a lot of decent restaurant options in Placencia when we were reading about it and one of the more reasonably priced places to stay in Belize.
