Spacious penthouse, with a full kitchen and ocean front. They just need to cut the height of some of the trees to have a clear vision of the sea and enjoy it from the varanda.

We had a party of six, the staff was superb and the food was excellent. We were with family and had a large suite with two rooms on the ocean and it was perfect overlooking the pool. Many available water activities and good time with the family.

Incredible place to stay in Placencia, Belize. Can’t wait to visit here again!
Rory, 5-night trip

4/10 Poor

Beautiful lobby and restaurant area. Great beachfront pool bar. Super, super basic kitchen utensils - spatula and dull knife and incomplete utensils for 4 but plates and cups were ok. Ice tray unfilled and no ice. Room not ready at check in, dirty hallways for 3 days. Would not return, invest in property nor recommend despite the beautiful views and amazing lobby / restaurant area. We were so looking forward to staying but disappointed.
Mystery brown spills on outside pathway and wall. There for 3 days.

This was better than described! The staff went above and beyond to make my stay a great one even A sorting out a day of tours for me. Everyone from the workers to the kitchen staff to the pool people truly care about the resort and their guests. I’ve had such an amazing experience. I can’t wait to go back. Highly recommend if you want a place to go recharge enjoy some sun shopping pool and more. The food was also incredible. Eating at this resort was more than a meal. It was an experience. This is a hidden gem in Belize.

Paige, 3-night trip

8/10 Good

MY RESERVATION WAS FOR 1 ROOM, NOT 2.

Our stay was highly influenced by the resort charging for 2 rooms instead of 1. I RESERVED ONE ROOM. If this is resolved then the review would be very different. The resort and staff are very good, the restaurant is convenient and very good. The room was wonderful.
Wendy, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Loved the hotel and staff, restaurant on site, room service available, quick drive to town
Velisa, 3-night trip

Property grounds were very well maintained with lots of beautiful plants and flowers. Room was clean, very spacious. Staff were very kind and helpful. The onsite restaurant had wonderful dining options (we enjoyed breakfast and dinner while we stayed). Would highly recommend staying here!
Lisa, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

It is a beautiful resort and the staff extremely accomodating. The only drawback that I found to be annoying was the use of a leaf blower. Also the dining choices were very limited.
Sandra, 7-night trip

8/10 Good

I really enjoyed the fact it had a private beach area. My whole family enjoyed our time there.
Gayle, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Had lots of little bugs in our villa. Could use a few more railings as floors get slippery when wet. Food was excellent. Beach was beautiful but found a few glass and plastic bottle pieces in sand, Not good for bare feet. 2 lovely and clean pools for non sea swimmers. Would recommend this resort.

Wonderful stay at Umaya Resort

My husband and I had a wonderful stay at Umaya Beach resort. The staff was friendly and helpful. Accommodations were clean and comfortable. It was a very calm, quiet, and relaxing stay which is what we were seeking. Enjoyed the use of kayaks and paddleboards. Staff arranged excursions and transport to and from the airport as well as a daily shuttle into Placencia. Everything we were looking for in a vacation!
Jennifer E, 8-night trip

8/10 Good

I stayed for 4 nights and had a wonderful time. The resort is a distance from placencia town so if you wanna save money on transportation to town you have to book the free shuttle service that the hotel runs daily. The hours for this service are 10am & 2:30pm. Meals at Umaya in my opinion are overpriced and the chef needs to be replaced as the food is not very good and the portions are way too small for what you pay for. Overall, if you want peace & quiet and good relaxation then definitely choose Umaya.
RICHARD, 4-night trip

8/10 Good

I liked the resort overall. The dislike was that they advertise a pool and pool bar, with a small wood fired pizza restaurant by the pool. One evening they closed the bar early around 5:00ish and were closing the pool at 7:30 due to a slower day. Our family had come back from the day excursion looking to hang out the rest of the evening to use the pool and pool bar and eat at the restaurant. One of the things I consider when booking a vacation is pool availability. It was very disappointing. I felt cheated in that I pay for those amenities, and they closed them because they felt there weren't enough people to make it available until their normal close time with no regard for the visitors interested in the pool, pool bar and pizza restaurant.
