I had a nice stay overall, enjoying the clean and spacious rooms and the beautiful beach. The location is fabulous and the pool area is sparkling. However, I faced issues with service and dining quality, which could use more variety and better management. There were also some concerns about security and cleanliness around the grounds that need attention.

I had mixed feelings about my stay at Uroa Bay Beach Resort. While the hotel is clean and the staff is friendly, the dining experience fell short, and the location is quite limited in terms of activities. If you seek a peaceful getaway, it could still be a decent option, but there are certainly areas needing improvement.

I had a really nice stay at Uroa Bay Beach Resort. The rooms were clean and spacious, plus the great pool was a highlight. The beach was absolutely stunning. However, I did have issues with theft from my room and some unexplained charges at checkout, which left a bad taste. Additionally, the dining options could use some improvement as the buffet was just average.

We had such a wonderful honeymoon at this resort! The large, clean rooms and the thoughtful touches like flower decorations made our stay really special. The staff was great, and the evening entertainment added to the fun. However, we found the beach vendors a bit annoying, which detracted from the otherwise perfect atmosphere. Despite some minor downsides, it truly felt like paradise!
