Location was next level, staff was very sweet, thoughtful and accommodating for a very special birthday celebration. One of the best restaurants in Placencia is on property, steps away from the cabins. Beach was literally 30 feet from our room. We had the most amazing time.

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, ...

If you like seafood you MUST go to Omar's in Placencia Village. Outstanding! Best ever!
This was the first I traveled that made me seriously consider staying. It is slightly more expensive than other areas in Central America but in my opinion it is worth the cost.
Only problem is the shuttle runs certain times, I feel they should add more rides.
Placencia is a lovely chill beach town with plenty of good local food. The place is full of friendly, helpful locals, and retired expats. Although there was seaweed and some trash ashore, most hotel properties cleaned their part of the beach daily.
Fun, quiet, friendly, funky beach town!
