Spectacular resort with beautiful pool, ocean, swim up bar, and delicious restaurant. The room was very nice. The staff was awesome! My only two complaints, (1) many sudden and short power outages, and beeping appliances when power returned. That will startle you if not pre-warned. That is common in Placencia. (2) the room safe was not bolted down and had a master key that worked in our friends room as well. So we didnt use the safe. Minor issues. The place was gorgeous and fun!

Resort is nice, staff and service was great. Restaurant was very good, great breakfasts. Tasty drinks at poolside bar. Maya beach is a 15-20 min drive down to Placencia village so you need a car or can rent a golf cart to get around. Overall, everything was great, happy with our stay.

Disliked: Staff & service
The property was beautiful. However, the staff were terrible and rude and did not care about the customers at all. We had two awesome staff, Alton and Rodney. They went above beyond for us. The AC went out in our room the first night. The resort was empty and they did not even offer us another room. It was 3 hours before the ac started working but only in the bedroom. The meals are way over priced and a limited menu. If you want to go 1 mile down the road to eat, it will cost you 40$. We ordered breakfast the night before (as told to do) because we were leaving on an excursion at 7 the next morning. The next morning I checked on the breakfast at 635 and he said oh yeah it will be right out. At 659 they had not even started making it yet. These were the same waitresses from the morning before who did not wait on us. We sat there for 20 min when finally the lady came up and asked if we wanted to eat. They would not refill our coffees. But they took the time to sit at the counter and eat their breakfast and drank their coffee. And by all means don’t lose a towel or they’re going to charge you 20$ per towel.

Our first time back in Belize in 18 years . Umaya was the perfect place. The views over the lagoon towards the Maya mountains are perfect backdrop after a day at the beach and pool. The staff were great, very helpful with booking trips etc. The restaurant is excellent and the wood burning Pizzeria provides a great alternative. We will be back

Very friendly staff and super attentive. Unit could use more kitchen items and the bathrooms need a major overhaul. Pool needed maintenance, as well. Amazing, clean beach and staff were constantly working to keep it clean. Housekeeping did not come until dinner, but when asked for extra pillows, someone came right away. Laguna was great food and service. Pizza place was yummy, but expensive. Our family of 5 had a wonderful time.

The property was clean and very quiet with easy access to the beach even if your room was on the lagoon side. All of the staff were kind and helpful as well. This was exactly what we needed to disconnect from our busy schedules.
