Yo, I've got a party of 6 that's just bought tix to BZE for march 28 - april 5. We're stuck in choosing Ambergris vs Placencia.

Ideally we want:
- 3 bedroom place
- pool
- good sandy beach
- walk to town
- bicycle rentals

- not averse to 'resort/hotel' style places.

interested in:
- snorkeling
- fishing
- (i will be bringing my kitesurf gea, r).

questions:
1) how are the prices of activities such as snorkel boat charters and fishing trips leaving ambergris and placencia...ie is there a substantial difference in fees from each spot?
2) anyone with any experience with van charters / rides to get to placencia from BZE?
3) we know placencia is less developed...how many total restaurants and bars are there?
4) what time does the wind pick up? how long and hard does it blow for?
