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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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!
Stayed 8 nights in Feb 2025

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.

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.

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.
