Umaya Resort offers a spacious oceanfront experience with beautiful views and various amenities for family entertainment. The staff is friendly, and maintenance issues are handled promptly. However, the dining options can be inconsistent, and noise from the beach bar may disrupt tranquility. Also, the beach itself has litter issues, which detracts from the overall experience.

I had a fantastic time at Belize Ocean Club! The facilities were amazing, and the rooms were stylish and comfortable, complete with excellent air conditioning. The service from everyone, especially the reception and bar staff, was impeccable. However, the restaurant service could be improved as we experienced slow service and average food quality. Overall, it’s a great place for a vacation, just consider dining out instead of at the resort.
