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.

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 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!
