Great place to stay in Plasencia!
Facilities are super nice, I could park in front of my room and that was a big plus in convinience....
The staff was super helpfull and with the best attitude.
The kitchen needs more attention, the food was just average or less not reflecting the price range...

MY RESERVATION WAS FOR 1 ROOM, NOT 2.
Our stay was highly influenced by the resort charging for 2 rooms instead of 1. I RESERVED ONE ROOM. If this is resolved then the review would be very different. The resort and staff are very good, the restaurant is convenient and very good. The room was wonderful.

It is a beautiful resort and the staff extremely
accomodating. The only drawback that I found to be
annoying was the use of a leaf blower.
Also the dining choices were very limited.

Had lots of little bugs in our villa.
Could use a few more railings as floors get slippery when wet.
Food was excellent.
Beach was beautiful but found a few glass and plastic bottle pieces in sand, Not good for bare feet.
2 lovely and clean pools for non sea swimmers.
Would recommend this resort.

Wonderful stay at Umaya Resort
My husband and I had a wonderful stay at Umaya Beach resort. The staff was friendly and helpful. Accommodations were clean and comfortable. It was a very calm, quiet, and relaxing stay which is what we were seeking. Enjoyed the use of kayaks and paddleboards. Staff arranged excursions and transport to and from the airport as well as a daily shuttle into Placencia. Everything we were looking for in a vacation!

I stayed for 4 nights and had a wonderful time. The resort is a distance from placencia town so if you wanna save money on transportation to town you have to book the free shuttle service that the hotel runs daily. The hours for this service are 10am & 2:30pm. Meals at Umaya in my opinion are overpriced and the chef needs to be replaced as the food is not very good and the portions are way too small for what you pay for. Overall, if you want peace & quiet and good relaxation then definitely choose Umaya.

It’s a great location and service. It’s our second time staying at Umaya and enjoyed our stay. The staff is very helpful and friendly. The spa and the massage are super relaxing. Overall I recommend.
The cons - wish the restaurant and pool bar would stay open at least until 10:00pm. Restaurant closes at 8:00pm and pool bar even earlier. Wish there was a fitness center.
The pool and some of the rooms could use a makeover.

Umaya good for the money
Umaya Resort is a great place to stay in Placencia. It is about 20 minute drive to the town. The resort is clean. It does need some updating and better care to details. For the price, it is a very good choice.
