Great place to stay in Plasencia!

Facilities are super nice, I could park in front of my room and that was a big plus in convinience.... The staff was super helpfull and with the best attitude. The kitchen needs more attention, the food was just average or less not reflecting the price range...

Nice, large space. Beach view was stunning. Loved the pool, wish there was a hot tub. Washer/Dryer in the unit. Not many food options. Bathroom showers could use a good cleaning. The snake on the porch was a bit scary but they sent someone over right away to take care of it.

Umaya is a great place to stay if you want to just relax. The food options are limited but they do have a good dinner. The down side is that it is far from the main village of placencia and they only offer two times of free transport otherwise you have to pay. Rooms were clean and spacious…we love how our room was right off the beach and pool.
