About the Hotel

Umaya Resort Belize, formerly known as the Belize Ocean Club is a beautiful full-service deluxe resort located on a 78-mile peninsula in the southern part of Belize on Maya beach. The resort has rooms overlooking the peaceful lagoon and distant Mayan mountains or overlooking the blue Caribbean Sea. The first of the new dining options, The Clubhouse, is a farm to table restaurant facing the lagoon with sunset mountain views. It offers cuisine rooted in Mayan and Garifuna Belizeans traditions. FYAH, named from the local dialect for fire, presents food cooked over an open flame grill, with both deck and barefoot in the sand seating options for a selection of parrillada and tandoor food. With the largest living barrier reef off its shores, Umaya Resort & Adventures is putting a focus on diving experiences, including the creation of an onsite dive certification program. The management team has also created unique new excursions for adventure travelers both at sea and in the nearby jungles and Mayan ruins of Belize. In addition to the offsite excursions, Umaya Resort & Adventures launched a variety of weekly cultural and gastronomic events such as Beer &Curry Night, serving original Indian dishes prepared by Chef Subu from Chennai as well as Best of Belize, highlighting local Garifuna cuisine and music.

Attractive beach/lagoon hotel

Reviewed 2 weeks ago

Location - On Maya Beach, 2 1/2 hours from Belize airport. Just outside Maya Village 6 miles from Placencia. Hotel Building - Low rise hotel. split into two by road. One part overlooking sea with pizza place & beach bar. The other part overlooking the lagoon with restaurant. Can stay and eat in both sides. Landscaped gardens by lagoon and lovely long beach for walks. Ample loungers round pool & beach. Room - Spacious & light 2 bed lagoon room. Comfy & clean. Kitchen/lounge area great too. Noise insulation though was an issue. Food - All tasty & well presented. Great choices for breakfast. Disappointed that lunch & dinner menu were the same with no specials and extremely limited options. As by the sea it was a shame that there only fish mains were octopus/prawns. Restaurant had very pretty decor & outlook however during inclement & very windy weather the doors couldn’t shut leading to freezing guests & food. They said door was broken & couldn’t sort. Staff - All very welcoming although service slow everywhere especially at beach to use the kayak/paddle board equipment.

Sand, large pool, ocean beach with paddle boards and kayaks, huge suites with all the amenities, and very friendly staff: it was a five-star experience.

Beautiful Wedding at Umaya

Reviewed 7 months ago

We had our wedding at Umaya Resort in Placencia, and it was absolutely perfect. The location is great, and the whole weekend went off without a hitch. Roberto, the wedding coordinator, was incredible—he was with us from the early planning stages in late 2024 all the way through the day itself, making sure everything ran smoothly. All of the guests had a fantastic time, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. The staff were friendly, the setting was beautiful, and the atmosphere was just right. I can highly recommend Umaya for anyone planning a destination wedding or just looking for a relaxing vacation in Belize.
