Dear Umaya Team, Thank you so much for hosting us. Everything was perfect — the place was very clean, so cozy, and beautifully kept. And the food? Delicious! We’re giving it a 10 out of 10. We left feeling rested and happy. Really appreciate all the care you put into making our stay special.
A Warm Welcome and Relaxing Stay in Placencia

My stay at Umaya Resort in Placencia was a wonderful experience from the moment I arrived. The welcome drink was a nice touch and made me feel instantly relaxed and ready to enjoy my vacation. The staff were warm, friendly, and always greeted us with a smile. Their hospitality made us feel welcome throughout our stay, and they were happy to assist whenever we needed anything. The rooms were nice and spacious. My family had 2 bedroom beachfront room on the 2nd floor. It was so nice to sit back and listen to water. They had everything we needed. A full kitchen if needed but we opted explored the town for dinner. There are two onsite restaurants, 1 beach side and 1 lagoon side. I did enjoy ordering room service for breakfast. The resort itself is peaceful, beautiful, and a great place to unwind while enjoying everything Placencia has to offer. If you’re looking for a relaxing getaway with excellent customer service and a welcoming atmosphere, I would definitely recommend Umaya Resort.

Nice stay near Placencia

The hotel was lovely. Our five person family stayed in one of the very nice villas, 3 bedrooms with full kitchen, right on the beach. The pools were great. The pool bar and restaurant were intermittently staffed, but the main restaurant was always open. The hotel restaurant food was good. The hotel was far from town, but they offered two free shuttles to Placencia in morning and early afternoon. They also have bikes and kayaks you can use for free. The hotel is a little isolated and placencia was very quiet.
Beach suites w great restaurant

This is a more American style place as in the rooms are large suites, w massive balconies. We stayed ocean side where the pool and pizza shop are. Across the road is the upscale restaurant, fountain, desk, & spa. Both sides have a dock and bar. They will help you book day tours and gave us a ride to the airport. Tons of places to take photos, lovely night lighting. You can get a day pass if you dont stay on the property. We went back to the restaurant this April for the amazing mole chicken and great sunset.
