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.

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.

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.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
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.

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!

It’s a great location and service. It’s our second time staying at Umaya and enjoyed our stay. The staff is very helpful and friendly. The spa and the massage are super relaxing. Overall I recommend. The cons - wish the restaurant and pool bar would stay open at least until 10:00pm. Restaurant closes at 8:00pm and pool bar even earlier. Wish there was a fitness center. The pool and some of the rooms could use a makeover.

We really enjoyed our stay at Umaya. We rented a villa and enjoyed it. It was clean, spacious and comfortable. The grounds were clean, and the staff was fantastic. The front desk was friendly, and everyone else was super helpful when needed. We particularly enjoyed meeting Harry, on security, who kept watch over the place in the evening. Everyone here - customer service, grounds keeping, security, etc., was just really great to deal with. It was our first trip to belize and we'll definitely return.

Umaya Resort is a great place to stay in Placencia. It is about 20 minute drive to the town. The resort is clean. It does need some updating and better care to details. For the price, it is a very good choice.
