Sittee River Hotels

"Really nice and peaceful resort. Would definitely stay again. "

"Exceptional staff in a beautiful resort. Three dining options. Highly recommended."

"Umaya Resort is the perfect blend of comfort, location, and laid-back beach vibes. With a bakery, fruit stand and several award-winning beachfront restaurants a short walk away, no car is needed. The property itself is fantastic. We loved spotting starfish and stingrays off the dock. We enjoyed the complimentary paddle boards and kayaks, sunrise walks along the beach and the smoothie bar. Our unit had a full kitchen, great air conditioning and plenty of hot water. Peaceful, scenic, and incredibly convenient; would absolutely stay here again. "

"This house in Hopkins was so great! Before we even arrived Rick helped us with transportation from the airport, and suggested tours and activities. Elton, a tour company owner who partners with Rick to support guests at this property, picked us up and treated us like royalty. We chose to use Elton, via Rick, for all of our tour needs during the stay. Elton was friendly, knowledgeable and so helpful! A person could also rent a car and plan your own outings - it's easy to make the connections you need once you are in Belize.Hopkins is a great little town - not too touristy - with enough shops and restaurants to make it worth exploring.The house itself was clean and beautiful. The art is vibrant and a definite value-add. The pool is clean, with immediate access to the beach. The view from the living area and patio is stunning. The beach in Belize is a narrow shoreline, and unfortunately there is often garbage in the waterline. We did not find this to detract, especially since there is someone who comes to clean the pool and rake the waterline of the property each day. The only drawbacks to this property are the bugs and the road. Belize has a lot of biting insects. Bring bug spray and itch cream! While the location on the coast is fabulous, the house is in a newer development that is still reached by a dirt road. It had been pretty rutted by recent rains, but plans to pave it are in the works.We strongly recommend this property for families or groups. Enjoy!"

"Courteous welcoming staff. Very nice room. Spacious, convenient and looking out at sea as sunrise woke me up. "

"Great staff, good food, and convenient location"

"Fantastic location. Probably the best in Placencia. Staff was very friendly and went above and beyond to accommodate us. Amazing beach, quiet location and best breakfast we had in Belize. Highly recommended!"

"Impeccably clean rooms, a beautiful and relaxing atmosphere, and exceptionally warm, friendly staff. Everything felt upscale yet welcoming, making our stay feel truly luxurious from start to finish. Highly recommend."

"We loved this house! It's large, roomy, beautifully decorated, and well laid out with the main bedroom on the 1st floor. The beds are very comfortable, and the A/C works well for those hot days! The back area is so peaceful, whether you want to sit out on the deck, the porch, or the dock. The golf cart is really handy for getting into town to check out the restaurants and shops, and the owner made it easy to figure out where to go with great recommendations in the guest book. Based on what I saw, this is definitely one of the nicest rental spaces available in Hopkins, and the owner is very responsive to any questions about the property or the area. From Hopkins as a home base, we were able to go snorkeling, visit Bocawina for ziplining and hiking to a waterfall, visit the Altun Ha site, go cave tubing, go to the Belize Zoo...and had plans to do the Cockscomb waterfall hike but couldn't because of the rain. If you're looking to do any of these activities (and so many more!), they are accessible to you from this place. When you want down time or family time, the kitchen is well stocked for making your own meals, and there are a variety of card decks, games, and books to peruse. Thank you to our host for having this gorgeous place for us to relax in! "
