Pick your dates and party size below. We’ll estimate lodging plus typical daily costs, and show what you save by booking direct.

How we built the estimate

Lodging rates come from MeMe’s Place actual direct-book prices, we show midpoints per unit type, per season. Tour pricing is a Placencia average ($110 per person for a half-day snorkel, dive trips run higher). Food, drink, and local transit use what we see average guests spend in the village.

The calculator reflects booking directly with us. Add roughly 12–18% if you’re planning to book through an OTA like Airbnb or Booking.com.

What you save by booking direct

OTAs charge the guest a 12–18% service fee on top of what the property earns. That’s money out of your pocket that doesn’t improve your stay. Booking direct with DIRECT10 removes the fee and gives you an extra 10% off. On a 5-night 2BR villa stay, that’s typically $400–$600 back in your pocket.
