Placencia, Stann Creek District hotel rooms at the Independent

"Love it !"

"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. "

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

"The room was clean and tidy. It’s in walking distance of anything you could possibly want. The staff were really very nice and helpful. Thank you for the hospitality. "

"Confortable room and warm and welcoming staff. The restaurant was also amazing. "

"Our Jaguar room was not only spotless, but was comfortable and stocked with coffee, and filtered water, had a vintage microwave and fridge/freezer, and an awesome shower room all decorated with the jaguar theme. The resort's small pool was clean and a comfortable temp. We loved the Adirondack chairs on the long dock which were perfect for relaxing and watching the sunset and stars. We biked, swam in the sandy beach, snoozed in the hammock, and kayaked and paddle boarded along the shore seeing baby stingrays, jellyfish and many roosting and feeding birds. Our adult son took a kayak a mile out to a mangrove forest and had a great massage from Chloe. We highly recommend fryjacks at the resort's restaurant and also their special Korean Barbecue which was fun and tasty. (Be aware that it says one order serves two, but you are charged for two. I didn't realize that so the bill was higher than expected.) We highly recommend this small, casual resort and hope to visit again."

"Great staff, good food, and convenient location"
