Our driver Cameron with Bass Transportation was fantastic & has become a good friend to us. We plan on keeping in touch with him. Umaya Resorts in Placenia: the room was great. The main restaurant’s food wasn’t that good. Service there wasn’t the best. However the pizza restaurant was fantastic. There is a Bistro about a ten minutes walk away that had excellent food. Our fishing tour with Pinky was a lot of fun. Pinky & the boat driver were professional, friendly & brought humor & entertainment to the day. Nim Li Punit Mayan Ruins & Spice Farm Tour With Ian was a great tour. We enjoyed all of it. Ian is very knowledgeable. In San Ignacio the Falling Trees Lodge was quaint but very clean. Their restaurant had fantastic food & service. Lamanai tour & boat ride with Brenda our guide was the best tour we had. Brenda had grown up in Lamanai so was very knowledgable. She served the best tour lunch with fresh corn empanadas made by a group of ladies from the Lamanai town. Our next tour at Xunantunich Maya Ruins Tour with Daryl was also fantastic. Cave Tubing was our next adventure. Cameron drove us there & waited while we did the cave. It is a very easy tour with very little rapids, but we still enjoyed it. We then took the ferry to San Pedro. Ramon’s Village was our best room overlooking the ocean. We spent a lot of time sitting on the balcony watching the ocean. The Hol Chan/Shark Alley with our guide Guimerro from Ramon’s was excellent. This was the best tour. Unfortunately on the Manatee Swim/Coral Garden we didn’t find any manatees & the Coral Garden didn’t have many fish at it to see. Returning back to BelizeCity & seeing the zoo. The zoo was okay but I could of skipped it. The Best Western Bitlmore: our room was okay but it was located near the pool & open court yard. From 9 to about 10:30 there was children screaming & adults talking very loudly. I was about to call the front desk to complain when someone opened up their door & told them to be quiet. A room away from all this would be better. The food we had at their Bistro was terrible & the service was not good at all. We went to the Cafe in the morning & it was much better there. Overall we had a fantastic trip full of good memories.
Hotel Reviews
Food wasn’t that great.
Very quaint but clean rooms. Love the garden area.
Loved the location & grounds of the resort.
Noisy in evening. Our room was near the pool & open courtyard. I would ask for a room away from this.
Activity Reviews
Cave tubing is very easy with not a lot of rapids. Good for any age.
Best snorkelling trip on San Pedro from Ramon’s Village.
Favorite of all our Mayan Ruins tours. The boat ride there adds to the adventure. Best lunch we had on all our tours.
Tour is not very long but still interesting.
Tour guides were fantastic.
It more like an animal rescue then a zoo as it is in a natural setting of the forest. Animals are hard to find in the enclosures.
We didn’t see any manatees, which they can’t guarantee for you to see. Coral garden wasn’t that great to snorkel at. Hardly any fish there.
