"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."
"The penthouse was an excellent option for our family- the well apportioned kitchen was great as we did get tired of overpriced resort food. In general this was a perfectly good beach resort in a pretty quiet corner of Belize. The excursions were excellent and well staffed. We loved that they did toasted marshmallows on the beach at sunset and the diving platform was a hoot. The staff was very helpful and willing to go the extra mile to help us sort out travel plans etc. if you stay here I recommend you be brave and look around Hopkins for places to eat- the hotel offers bikes for a few dollars and it is a sleepy enough town that this is a reasonable way to get around, and you’ll find the local food super tasty. In general a very reasonably priced place that does a good job. "
"Our stay here was absolutely perfect. Everyone nice and helpful. The rooms were spacious and spotless with a view of the water from deck. The pool and beach were amazing and the Rum Shack made fantastic drinks and food. Would highly recommend "
