"This property has a very accommodating team, great owners, great property management!!! Everything I needed was at my finger tips! If you are looking for a very laid back hotel this is a great choice! Air conditioning works great and also a very comfy bed! "
"Our first time back in Belize in 18 years . Umaya was the perfect place. The views over the lagoon towards the Maya mountains are perfect backdrop after a day at the beach and pool.
The staff were great, very helpful with booking trips etc. The restaurant is excellent and the wood burning Pizzeria provides a great alternative.

"One of the most amazing places I've ever stayed at. It was quiet clean and super friendly. It was like we had the whole place to ourselves. The bed was incredible. The ocean was 30 feet from our door. I would live there if they let me. "
