The luxurious, oceanfront Hacienda-style Inn at Robert's Grove offers 52 beachfront and beach view rooms, including 22 ocean front suites. Located on 22 private acres of white sand just north of Placencia village, the inn offers a romantic setting and great family activities. The Inn is small enough to make it feel like a guest house, yet large enough to offer privacy, comfort, sociability, and fine dining.
The onsite spa and dive center are available to guests everyday of the week. Onsite activities include three freshwater swimming pools, canoeing and kayaking, biking to town, a workout facility, and Hobie cat sailboats, windsurfers, and pedal boats.

This was my first experience with Adventure Life - and I couldn't have been more pleased with the trip. The guides and local staff in both Buenos Aires and Uruguay were terrific - extremely helpful and accommodating. I really enjoyed meeting the friendly staff in Buenos Aires in person (I left my bags with them for the afternoon).
