Staff are friendly, rooms are comfy, food was good and the beach front was wonderful, especially for a family with young kids. Waves are calm, there are plenty of fish and critters to see and the hotel provides free kayaks, beach toys and snorkels.
This is one of my best resort or hotel ever
If your favor is just relax and walking beach, this is perfect for you

The hotel is clean, quiet, and private. The staff is very friendly, polite, and accommodating. They’re very helpful, and the service is excellent. We were assigned a front-view room with a stunning beach view and beautiful sunrise.
Beautiful beach front location with very friendly staff. Perfect place for some relaxation in a beautiful setting.
Weekends can be a little loud with the neighbours and their karaoke / parties but it didn’t go into the evening and weekdays were much quieter
Thank you for your hospitality. We loved this resort and recommend to everyone. Clean, friendly, always responds quickly. You can stay here all day. Enjoy their meal, room massage, beach and everything. We had absolutely fantastic memories here.
Highly enjoyed staying in this resort. We wanted a place that is away from noise and a party atmosphere and we got it. The staff are great, room is fantastic, beach amenities are awesome (they offer kayak and gears for free). I would return again. I miss it already.
Wifi can be weak at some spots, breakfast prep can be a little loud but its only for a short moment.
Nice and quiet location.
The entrance to the hotel is speciel, you have to go 5 min on the beach before you reach the hotel.
The food and drinks are below average.
Small little “boutique” hotel right in the beach. A short walk down the beach to the larger, higher end resorts (2) where you can use the restaurants and more extensive (and manicured) beach front.
Overall the hotel is great, if not overpriced. Recommend
The staff are so friendly and helpful making my family’s vacation experience worth while! The property was very clean and they take their time to help each guest. The private beach front is like no other and quite relaxing. We appreciate Lovely, Raymund, Raven, and John Paul as well as the rest of the staff. 10/10 would come back to again to Villa Umi.
If you like off the beaten path, this is a good choice. For the most part, staff was understanding and very helpful. Getting in and out of the resort area requires going through a gate and guard. Getting to villa umi requires a walk down the beach, but the staff comes out in force to help with bags. Meals were a little slow but worth the wait. Very clean and staff was very attentive.
Gorgeous quiet hotel in an outstanding location with incredible views.
Small property with few rooms so staffing is quick & efficient. Very friendly, attentive staff.
Location is unbelievable. From room 5 (ground floor sea view room) you literally walk out into patio area that rolls out onto the beach.
Included breakfast is good. You have about 7 options of a meal with fresh fruit & tea / coffee / hot chocolate.
Cocktails are ok in a cute setting.
Shame they don’t make more effort of evening dining at the hotel. Most people leave for restaurants along the beach. They should try to encourage guests to stay by offering deals or events as it’s a beautiful setting!
Room was nice. Rather basic for what you pay and spec isn’t amazing. Bed is super comfortable though! Cleaned daily.
Bathroom is great with lovely walk-in shower but pressure isn’t great & temperature very temperamental. Toilet isn’t great either and drains smelled at times.
It is expensive for the spec of the room and facilities (no pool) but I think the location is what you pay for!
I got a taxi to the property & it was really very confusing to get from the drop off to the hotel - I had to walk over the beach with a case!! They should really offer complimentary pick up both ways to be honest.
Also be aware you have to pay to be on Dumaluan beach (100) but make sure to get a receipt to get a refund from the hotel.
Would recommend based on incredible location & lovely staff.

Amazing place located next to a white lovely beach (with good snorkeling).
This is hotel is located in a relaxed quiet location with a beautiful beach front. The staff are super friendly and helpful. Food served here is also super nice. There is nothing I can fault.
This is a boutique hotel and while is doesn’t have pools and nightclubs it has a charm that is unique. It is beautifully peaceful and the beach in front of the hotel is as good as it gets. The staff are amongst the nicest people I’ve ever met. Despite its small size Villa Umi offers a wide ranging food menu and extensive breakfast and even a cute little bar. Couldn’t have wished for a nicer stay.
