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.

Reviews for Umaya Resort & Adventures
Terrific hotel for a family!
An absolutely wonderful stay. We are a family of five and had one apartment with a huge balcony overlooking the lagoon and on to the Maya mountains. Even spotted a crocodile one day in the lagoon (at least we tell ourselves it was a croc!) Amazing view any time of the day! The apartment itself was spacious with two bedrooms and two bathrooms, which made for a relaxed and comfortable stay! The staff at the hotel were super friendly snd welcoming! Especially the front desk! Beds were super comfortable!! Highly recommend this hotel. Much nicer than staying up in Maya Beach than Placencia town itself.

Our planning first started with the communication between the staff and myself, specifically Steve and Ryan, they were welcoming and professional during the entire booking process. They were attentive to our needs and concerns. When we arrived on our schedule date, it was everything more than expected. Steve and Kimberly greeted us and had us settled in. The entire weekend was amazing from the room accommodation, the amazing and breathtaking views, the food and the service from the staff was right on point. Thank you guys for a wonderful and relaxing stay. See you soon🥰

Great for families and groups!
Amazing stay at UMAYA resort. Alton did a terrific job organizing excursions for us, and we were thrilled that the restaurant prepared our fresh caught fish so deliciously. We had a group of 13, and the staff was able to accommodate us at the restaurant and for excursions. Beautiful sunset views at the restaurant! Stunning pool and outstanding refreshments!

About a 15 minute drive from Placentia -- but wow, talk about the view.
We are here now - enjoying our second week. The service is great, and the staff is friendly, inviting, and helpful. The restaurant has great food. The resort is about a 15 minute drive from Placentia, but it is quiet, peaceful, and relaxing. Not a new resort, but it is very clean.
