Playa de Sala Boutique Hotel, Adults Only

Me and my husband had our wedding party here at Playa De Sala and it was nothing short of fantastic! Forest was an amazing host and the boutique vibes were amazing! She even gave us a complimentary room to stay in as a wedding present and oh my gosh! It was breathtaking and the food was outstanding! Thank you Forest!

I would have rated higher since the beginning of our stay was pleasant, though the last handful of interactions completely soured that. The waitstaff was awesome- especially Afeni- and the manager Josh even offered an extra night stay on the house since I had been holed up in our room recovering from a bad lip infection.Unfortunately we couldn’t switch our flights. Then on our second to last night a tile fell off our bathroom counter. I got a staff member to come see to it, as you would if anything in your room broke down. Mark came, took a photo, and was going to leave until we suggested he take the broken tile out of the room- no sweeping or clean up of the broken shards. We had a relaxing last day and got our final bill at dinner with a $450+ American dollars charge for the tile. My partner went to discuss this charge and Mark said that I had a bloody lip (I did not, lips healing from said infection) and implied that my partner gave me the bloody lip and somehow that was also the cause of the tile falling off. We were told we could speak with manager Josh in the morning. We go to check out and it’s Mark again- not Josh- repeating his insinuations that my partner had given me a bloody lip and it’s somehow also proof of the tile being our fault. He said we had to pay or we would be detained by the police, while also saying HE in fact was “an officer of the law” (??) We ended up paying the absurd $450+ charge for 1 broken tile, and he still called the police- who seemingly had a lot more questions about his actions than ours.. The whole situation was an absolute failure of management, insulting insinuations, and then blaming the guests for their own poor handiwork. Be warned- If you stay here, cross your fingers that your room doesn’t fall apart because they will nickel and dime you for all the fancy materials they decide to import from out of the country. Owners/management refuse to take any responsibility and are defensive (as I’m sure we’ll see in their response to this review) nor take any ownership when it comes to their own mistakes.

The food at Sala’s kitchen at the hotel is amazing and the service even better! Afeni is such a treat and is friendly and seems to really love her job. She made our experience there on two different occasions really special. Thanks again Afeni!

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 were all very happy with our dining experience here. Chrisp was our waiter. He was very attentive and efficient. Pasta was cooked to perfect El Dante. Steaks were also cooked exactly as ordered and seasoned very well. The location on the roof top was stunning. Will return for an afternoon so we can enjoy it more fully.

If you are looking for a relaxing adults-only getaway, far from the crowds with phenomenal staff, food, and service, look no further. The place was perfect, well designed and very clean ... with every accommodation as they would help you find it if it was not previously offered! Unbelievable thank you guys! With gratitude, Nicole
