Beautiful and well kept grounds/beach /facilities. Very nice and helpful staff. Clean and comfortable rooms. One suggestion: all 4 pillows were very high, perhaps have a couple of lower ones????.
Overall a wonderful stay.

The shuttle drivers were excellent friendly and informative. They waited for us 3 hours past our pick up time due to our flight from Dallas being delayed.
It should be known that even though they take you to Placencia village at specific times you can call them to be a taxi as well and save money over the price of a regular taxi.
Good food

Our flight was delayed by several hours so we arrived to the resort just before the restaurant closed. My family hadn't eaten since breakfast and when we asked about the restaurant squeezing us in before close, they graciously agreed. The team was incredibly kind and helpful. The staff we spoke to that evening remembered us by name the next morning. They went out of their way to make sure our family enjoyed our short time at the resort. We would love to come back and visit again and highly recommend this property!

Umaya is a beautiful resort with everything we needed. Bedrooms, full kitchen, large living room and could walk right out to the beach. They had a lovely pool with swim up bar and a nice restaurant across the street. It was close to restaurants and bars but we did need to drive to them as the road is busy and no sidewalks. Would stay here again.

Had a great time, staff were friendly and very helpful, plenty of things to do in the area and lots offered. Pool was fun and being located between the ocean and the lagoon made it great for spotting wildlife. Big shout out to the snorkel team who helped us see a fantastic array of sealife

The villa was very comfortable and had an amazing view. We couldn’t have asked for better. All the staff we met were very polite and nice. We would definitely stay there again and recommend it to family and friends. We really liked the shuttle into Placencia village. Very convenient for us because we didn’t have a rental car. Love our entire stay.
