Holy goodness! This place serves THE BEST Indian food. The chef is from Mumbai, worked at a 5🌟hotel in Dubai, as well as India. 
For the record my boyfriend hates curry and has never eaten Indian food but loved this place. The Naan is just the best thing ever. The staff is great, and they even have a tuk tuk that will pick you up from your hotel and drive you back and forth.

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, ...

We loved Placencia and will return in the future. We stayed for 8 days, however we would recommend splitting your vacation between the beach and the interior.

If you like seafood you MUST go to Omar's in Placencia Village. Outstanding! Best ever!

5/5 - Excellent

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.

5/5 - Excellent

Only problem is the shuttle runs certain times, I feel they should add more rides.

5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveler

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.

5/5 - Excellent

Fun, quiet, friendly, funky beach town!
