Noma was an awesome experience and decision, I will definitely be doing another edition next year. I did the Belize location, which was a really good balance/mix of chill beach vibes at the resort we were staying, with fun jungle and adventure excursions on the weekends, not to mention some partying too. There was something for everyone. In terms of feedback specifically for Noma - you guys are doing great, keep it up. I especially enjoyed making great connections with Calla and Ever, they truly made it a memorable experience for everyone and made sure all had what they needed throughout the trip.
In terms of tips for future travelers - definitely look at budgeting for what this will cost - if you're like me and want to join in on most of the excursions/weekly events to enjoy the community, it can get expensive (I also didn't have the luxury of not having an apartment rent so that may just be a personal thing).
FYI -The Umaya resort is very beautiful! I'd keep in mind it's pretty limited with cooking utensils so you'll be keeping it very basic the nights you cook. There is no fitness center, but they have access to some dumbbells. Luckily I get creative with my workouts and made it work but it's not a typical resort with a fitness center amenity!
I can't wait to check out another edition soon!
