Playa de Sala Boutique Hotel, Adults Only

To be clear, I rarely leave reviews. What could’ve been a much higher rating due to the kitchen, housekeepers and other staff. The person I believed to be the “owner” Forrest and her what appeared to be boyfriend?, did their very best to earn themselves a 1 star rating. The night before we checked out we were given a bill with charges during our stay. All was good until I noticed a ‘damages’ charge for $450usd for a 1’x 5” piece of tile that dropped off the side of the sink from placing my hand on it while I was brushing my teeth.. we chose to inform the staff what had happened, because we felt it was the right thing to do. When I asked about the charge, Forrest’s boyfriend? (Idk if he even works there) mentioned it was because the tile came from Mexico, which is why it was so expensive. When I explained it FELL from touching it, he said well there have been multiple other ppl who’ve stayed there and it hasn’t fallen.. (again, no idea if this guy even works there) I told the “owner” and her boyfriend I wouldn’t be paying for that, her boyfriend then proceeded to grasp at straws insinuating that I may have hit my partner because she was recovering from a bacterial lip infection, and he thought they appeared bloody? I was obviously upset from the insane allegations, when Forrest stepped in to say, let’s wait for josh(the GM) to talk it over in the morning.. I was flabbergasted and couldn’t believe what was occurring. If you’re coming to Belize- DO NOT STAY AT PLAYA DE SALA. I promise you’ll regret it.

It's a wonderful place with a great owner and a great staff, but it's a rough ride to get here and there are no other restaurants nearby.

Immediately greeted upon arrival. Friendly, helpful staff. 10 out of 10.

Belize was one of the most memorable Birthday trips I've experienced and Playa De Sala was a major reason why. Prior to arrival the communication with the property was awesome, checking in to see if we had adequate transportation from the airport along with offering to make accommodations if needed. When we arrive we were welcomed with refreshing non-alcoholic drinks and a 'Happy Birthday' situated in the sand right in front of our room accomodations. The room accommodations are large and perfect views of the waterside. The staff is incredible, especially Chris, he greeted us when we left for the night and answered any questions we had about the island. We did not discover until our last night there that some of the best food is right at Playa De Sala! Every meal we had was great, including the breakfast! Playa De Sala brands as boutique hotel, but felt more like a "airbnb" with an inhouse staff- if that makes sense. Playa De SALA is a true gem and we'll most definitely be returning!

We loved staying at Playa De Sala the staff was amazing and we can’t wait to go back this year. The restaurant has some of the best food on the Island and the staff is extremely helpful and kind. Raffee In particular was a pleasure to work with as I enjoyed fishing in the mornings off of the kayaks provided at the resort, while kayaks are a bit dated he was more than accommodating to make sure the kayak was ready to go for my early morning fishing adventures in Tarpon bay before the wife awake from her well deserved rest. I always caught fish in the morning and enjoyed the physical excercise of paddling around the bay. Can’t wait to return to see our friends and enjoy the tranquility and exquisite food. It’s at the end of the island so a golf cart is paramount to getting around, plus it’s a hoot to visit other locations on the island with your own golf cart. Would highly recommend as we are no returning visitors San Pedro and the Playa De Sala resort.

Loved staying at Playa de Sala - staff was wonderful Hotel lovely - secluded but safe area
