Overpriced and not worth it.

Vejea A on Jun 11, 2025

The resort is insanely expensive and the poor is not worth the inflated prices. The resort failed to inquire about any allergy issues before preparing food, which was bland to say the least. Very far from the local stores and restaurants. Staff served us the same snack three days in a row and worst of all we couldn’t use their bicycles after 5 p.m., as if we didn’t have all our luggage inside the room. Would not recommend to any tourist and even more so locals. Save your time and money and stay somewhere else.

Amazing Umaya Resort!

LightPacker281196 on May 31, 2025

Amazing experience at Umaya resort! This was better than described! The staff went above and beyond to make my stay a great one! Even helping arange my hopper flight! Ryan went out of his way to sort a day tour for me last minute and then came and met with me poolside to explain it all! Everyone from the workers to the kitchen staff, servers, cleaners to the pool people truly care and take pride in the resort and their guests. It was so clean and the suite was spacious! A very laid back atmosphere and great amenities! Location was ideal! Such a great value for all I received! I’ve had such an amazing experience. I can’t wait to go back. I Highly recommend if you want a place to go and recharge, enjoy some sun, outdoor activities,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!

Short break to Placencia

Gosforth2 (Newcastle upon Tyne, United Kingdom) on Apr 23, 2025

We stayed in a 2 bedroom apartment with the family, it was perfectly set up for our stay. We were close to the main pool and beach. We had a comfortable sleep. The pool bar stopped serving snacks earlier than advertised. The staff overall were friendly.

Great place

Timothy D (Punta Gorda, Belize) on Apr 21, 2025

It was a great trip. I went there to celebrate my 60th birthday and I had family and friends from all over the world come and enjoy a great birthday bash. Edison in the food and beverage area was awesome, Ryan at the front desk made everything seamless. Steve, the general manager made himself available. I will stay there again and recommend that you all stay there as well.

Great Second Visit to Umaya

Andrea R (Seattle, Washington) on Apr 07, 2025

This was our second visit to Umaya. We were also there in July 2024. All staff were friendly and helpful. We appreciated the twice-daily shuttle to and from Placencia Village. We stayed in a two bedroom villa and were very comfortable. The villa had a large deck with two hammocks. A wonderful place to relax!
