We were looking for a quite place to relax and lay in the sun next to the ocean under tall palm trees and found just what we were looking for at Playa Sonrisa. It's a small resort hotel (only six rooms, including two beachfront cabanas) off the beaten path just north of Xcalak, Mexico. Though it is clothing optional, there... more

My fiancee and I spent three days at Playa Sonrisa, although we only planned on staying for one or two! Murph & Cindy are great hosts, helpful but not intrusive. Murph was keen to make sure we got everything out of our stay that we wanted, and Cindy's cooking was fantastic - having been "on the road" for a few... more

My wife and I returned for our second stay at Playa Sonrisa in Feb. On both visits we stayed 13 nights. I am writing this months later because I still catch myself daydreaming about what a fantastic time we had on both vacations at Sonrisa. We have met great people there and the meals are awesome. You are definitely far... more

We just returned home from our fourth visit to Playa Sonrisa. Each time we have been there we see improvements to the property that only serve to enhance the entire experience. The owners/hosts, Murph and Cindy have become more like friends to us than inn keepers. The service is great, and the meals Cindy serves are simply delicious. Her chile... more

First of all, I give this review under protest becuase I would like to keep this tropical paradise a secret. Playa Sonrisa was above and beyond anything we could have ask for. My wife and I spent 6 wonderful days there and I truely believe it was way too short. This little resort is just south of Xcalak, Mexico, in... more

We have just returned home after a very memorable week long stay at Playa Sonrisa, and we were not disappointed in any way. This little resort deserves big praise. The drive from Cancun can be long if you do it non stop. We stopped in litle towns and walked around a bit, stretched our legs etc and still made it... more

Just came back from Playa Sonrisa where we spent a beautiful 7 days holiday. I can recommend it to anyone who seeks tranquil tropical hideaways. Murph and Cindy are excellent hosts, they give you the privacy or provide you company - just the way you feel. They love to play nude bocce or having a chat with a beer in... more

Our third trip to Playa Sonrisa and it just gets better. I wrote a brief review after our June 2007 trip but felt Murph and Cindy deserved more so a little more detail this time. First of all, my wife and I go to Playa Sonrisa to relax, unwind, not be bothered, and basically get away from all the hurry... more

A crown jewel of paradise!
