Umaya Resort is the perfect blend of comfort, location, and laid-back beach vibes. With a bakery, fruit stand and several award-winning beachfront restaurants a short walk away, no car is needed. The property itself is fantastic. We loved spotting starfish and stingrays off the dock. We enjoyed the complimentary paddle boards and kayaks, sunrise walks along the beach and the smoothie bar. Our unit had a full kitchen, great air conditioning and plenty of hot water. Peaceful, scenic, and incredibly convenient; would absolutely stay here again.

We loved our stay at umaya. The beach is awesome. The whole pool area/chairs/dock and set up are awesome too. So great that you can also borrow Kayaks and paddle boards (which we did) to have morning paddles when the ocean is calmer. The room was spacious and clean. The hotel itself is beautiful, the staff helpful and accommodating and the food at the hotel was good as well. There are also many restaurants and a supermarket (10 min drive) close to umaya without having to always make the drive into Placencia town (about 20/25mins) Oh those speed bumps! We would for sure come back to umaya again as we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The resort is located in a beautiful area. The view is astonishing and the staff is amazing, however the rooms are too outdated and cleanness is not good enough for the price. This is definitely not $250 a night quality hotel. The room that we got appeared not to be cleaned prior. Bedsheets were dirty and WAY too old with stains and both beds appeared to have been just made without having bedsheets replaced. The balcony area was dirty and unkept. The service is great but amenities and condition of the resort is extremely poor for the price. I would not be staying here if i knew it was this outdated. Very disappointed.
