Everything was Perfect!

Wonderful stay for our family of 8 from 3 generations. The accommodations were large, clean & well stocked. Everything worked. Full kitchens in each unit! Location was right on the beach with 2 swimming pools, 2 restaurants & bars. They drove us to downtown Placencia & on tours, snorkeling & cave river tubing. Great stay!

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.

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!

We stayed in an oceanfront 2 BR which was nice-hammocks on the patio and you could walk to the beach. Fairly modern setup. But we discovered a patio door wouldn’t lock so that definitely detracted from several hours on our first day since we didn’t feel comfy going far when anyone could walk in off the beach to Steal our stuff til it was fixed. The weather was very windy so it was hard to enjoy the beach (let alone snorkel) and the pools were unheated. The restaurant options on the property were disappointing (overpriced and not great. And the pizza place by the pool wasn’t even open on Mondays.) We had a child get sick and needed to extend our stay and the staff could not have been less helpful. They made us move with a vomiting child to another room that was frankly subpar given the price-$20 less than our standalone beachfront cottage to an upper floor condo unit with holes in the screens, non working balcony lights, no drinking glasses, initially non-functioning AC and the strong smell of mildew. It did have a view of the beach. No offers to help find a local doctor or pharmacy. No trying to let us stay in the same place given the circumstances. They just tried to move us as fast as possible. As a frequent traveler I have higher expectations for a property that bills itself as more of a luxury set-up. The place felt empty too. I’m not convinced this place is worth returning to. They are attempting high end but not achieving it.

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.

I didnt like the furniture in the rooms, the seat cushions were uncomfortable and the furniture on the balcony was hard.

We stayed here with our family of five over Christmas and had a wonderful time. We really appreciated that the hotel offered a free shuttle twice a day so that we could go to the grocery store or into Placencia. My husband and I got couples massages at the hotel spa, which were fantastic. Our three teenage kids enjoyed the beach and the pool, and loved playing beach volleyball. We really loved the breakfast at the restaurant at the hotel. Our favorite dinner, however, was at the Maya Bistro, which is a short walk down the beach. It was absolutely delicious! The hotel also made it very easy to book excursions. We went snorkeling and also took the Monkey River tour, where we got to see howler monkeys. It was amazing! We stayed in a two bedroom lagoon view room, and it was gorgeous. We loved seeing all of the wildlife from our balcony, including many different kinds of birds. The entire resort was very peaceful and laid-back, a perfect relaxing vacation. The rooms are equipped with a kitchen, which has all the basics to cook your own meals, which did save us some money. It’s also good to know that you can use American dollars or Belizean dollars in Belize. Also, if it is your first time visiting Placencia, just know that you will need to take a short flight from Belize city to Placencia. You can book on either Maya air or Tropic air. This was a wonderful first visit to Belize and we hope to be back!
