Maya Beach Hotel
Beautiful property, right on the beach - rooms were clean, and well appointed. The resort also has a great restaurant on site, and is a 20-30 min drive to other restaurants, cafes and bars in Placencia. Staff were wonderful throughout as well

Umaya Resort & Adventures
The resort was beautiful. We stayed in one of the Villas and it was amazing. The only thing that can use some improvement is the resort food. Breakfast was ok and lunch and dinner no thank you. Other than that our stay was perfect.
