A comfortable and peaceful property on a surprisingly busy island. We enjoyed the beautiful views of a quiet cove, the use of a kayak, luxurious bedding, excellent shower, delicious breakfast and friendly staff. We arranged for a wonderful private snorkel trip with Captain Carlos, who picked us up in his boat at the dock at the hotel. The town center of San Pedro was very hectic and busy—not the Isla Bonita we had hoped for. So it was great to stay at the quiet south end. Fantastic bird sightings at lagoon near the property.

The resort was beautiful. The food was prepared beautifully and was delicious. The staff went above and beyond. We felt at home. We got food poisoning on day 4 (not from the resort) and the whole staff took care of us. From our pick up at the airport to transportation to the water taxi to the golf cart rental and extension….everything was taken care of. We could not have asked for a better place to stay. Thank you Playe de sala. You made Belize magnificent. Highly recommend!

We stayed for a week in early March and thoroughly enjoyed our time at the hotel. For our first trip to Belize, we wanted a place to relax and be near the water. Playa De Sala was exactly what we were looking for: someplace a bit out of the way and adults only. The hotel is at the south end of Ambergris Caye, about a half hour from San Pedro by golf cart. It has its own bar and kitchen, which was great for times when we did not feel like traveling into town. The meals were delicious. But there are also some other nice places nearby, like Someplace South Cafe. Everyone at the hotel was incredibly welcoming from the moment that we arrived, including the owner, Forest Sala, and all the staff, David, Melissa, Kevin, Ivan, Carlos, and others. We booked most of our excursions ourselves, but the team at Playa De Sala were always available to assist with any questions or requests and were very accommodating. As a female couple traveling, we felt very comfortable and well cared for. The Stone Room was plenty of space for the two of us, especially since we spent most of our time outside, on the dock, on the balcony, or at the bar, when we were at the hotel. The hotel has kayaks and SUPs available for guests to use, and there is a lot of wildlife to enjoy seeing in the area, especially different varieties of birds. If you like to be off the beaten path but have a well-made cocktail close by, Playa De Sala is for you. We loved it there.

The hotel was really nice in a secluded area, but it was a little far away from everything else. As nice as the room was it could’ve used a bigger TV. The whole staff was really nice and professional. The hotel food was a little overpriced in comparison to the size portions but overall, I definitely enjoyed my stay.

My recent stay at Playa de Sala was absolutely fantastic from start to finish. The service was exceptional across the board. Princess and Ange at the bar were incredible—friendly, attentive, and always ready with creative drink suggestions. I never had to wait for a drink, and their mixology ideas made every evening special. The kitchen team was equally outstanding. Karna and Melissa prepared everything to perfection, from the mouthwatering surf and turf to the crispy shrimp tempura and the delicious breakfast served every morning. Every meal felt like it was crafted with care. My room was spotless every day thanks to Ellia , who not only kept everything perfectly clean but also checked in to make sure I had everything I needed throughout my stay. Playa de Sala is the ideal place for a relaxing, memorable vacation. I’m already looking forward to returning!

Loved this place. But the roads need work. And there needs to be a real manager onsite each day. There was no manager Sat or Sun. They need TV access. The staff - hotel, bar, and housekeeping - are excellent!
