Omar's Guest House

Placencia

Hotel Description
One of the things that makes Omar?s more than a standard budget guest house is the personal and friendly service that guests receive when they stay here. The location near the beach, the convenience of an on-site restaurant and sizeable verandas for hanging out add to the appeal. The rooms are simple but clean with both shared and private bathrooms with hot water available. The owners are most proud of their food and the number of repeat customers that they have.

History & Owners
Twelve years ago the Sierras opened a restaurant and in 2002, after Hurricane Iris, they added a guest house. Both are named after the Sierra?s son, Omar. Mrs. Sierra has been a leader in the community through the Placencia Women?s Group. Their children are young artists and have painted murals inside of the restaurant and sometimes sell their small paintings.
