The Restaurant had great tacos and atmosphere:)

Location - On Maya Beach, 2 1/2 hours from Belize airport. Just outside Maya Village 6 miles from Placencia. Hotel Building - Low rise hotel. split into two by road. One part overlooking sea with pizza place & beach bar. The other part overlooking the lagoon with restaurant. Can stay and eat in both sides. Landscaped gardens by lagoon and lovely long beach for walks. Ample loungers round pool & beach. Room - Spacious & light 2 bed lagoon room. Comfy & clean. Kitchen/lounge area great too. Noise insulation though was an issue. Food - All tasty & well presented. Great choices for breakfast. Disappointed that lunch & dinner menu were the same with no specials and extremely limited options. As by the sea it was a shame that there only fish mains were octopus/prawns. Restaurant had very pretty decor & outlook however during inclement & very windy weather the doors couldn’t shut leading to freezing guests & food. They said door was broken & couldn’t sort. Staff - All very welcoming although service slow everywhere especially at beach to use the kayak/paddle board equipment.

Sand, large pool, ocean beach with paddle boards and kayaks, huge suites with all the amenities, and very friendly staff: it was a five-star experience.

We had our wedding at Umaya Resort in Placencia, and it was absolutely perfect. The location is great, and the whole weekend went off without a hitch. Roberto, the wedding coordinator, was incredible—he was with us from the early planning stages in late 2024 all the way through the day itself, making sure everything ran smoothly. All of the guests had a fantastic time, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. The staff were friendly, the setting was beautiful, and the atmosphere was just right. I can highly recommend Umaya for anyone planning a destination wedding or just looking for a relaxing vacation in Belize.

Room was not ready at check in time. Basic kitchen utensils .. dull knife and spatula. Incomplete utensils for 4 but plates, bowls and cups were ample. Dirty hallways for 3 days. Beautiful lobby and restaurant area. Great views from lagoon and beach front.
