Playa Sonrisa is a wonderful tropcal retreat and just the place for us to spend several days chilling during our otherwise hectic tour of the Yucatan peninsular. We had a beachfront villa which was spacious, comfortable and with a view to die for. Our fellow guests were delightful and our hosts, Playa Sonrisa's owners Murph and Cindy, were genuinely welcoming... More

We have just returned from our 8 day stay at Playa Sonrisa in Xcalak, Mexico. Coming from Montana the drive to get to Xcalak did not bother us. Highway 307 is easy though make sure you slow for the "topos -speed bumps" Here is our full review. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Playa Sonrisa. The atmosphere is very relaxing.... More

We have just returned from 6 days at Playa Sonrisa. It is exactly as their website describes: Paradise. It is 5 hours from Cancun by car and quite isolated. We saw no one for the first three days except the owners and staff of two. Clothing is optional. The rooms are 150 feet from the sea. The beach is cleaned... More

My husband and I spent five glorious days at Playa Sonrisa from December 28 to Jan 2nd and just have to say that this was an excellent place to visit. This is a smaller resort and the ultimate place to just "chill out". It is unplugged at its best. There are no crowds, no gawkers, no selling of things on... More

My wife and I stayed at Playa Sonrisa in Mid June for a week. This is a great place to unplug no TV, internet or Cell coverage. The drive is truly along drive but we felt very safe making the drive. We were the only guest there but Murph and Cindy are wonderful host. The pictures do not do justice... More

We just returned from our 5th and perhaps best visit ever to this lovely, quiet, well cared for spot on the Mexican Caribbean just north of Belize. The 5 hour drive from Cancun is now even easier thanks to the renovated Federal Highway 307. This was the first time we had stayed in the relatively newer addition called Villa Sonrisa.... More

We were not very happy ending here after a very long trip. The beach is full of mangrovie and all around there is nothing for kms (apart from milions of mosquitos). There is absolutely no chance to go out of the resort unless you have your own car, nevertheless owners are not happy even having to offer you a phone... More

I wanted to be someplace special for my birthday this year, preferable butt naked on a warm beach. The place had to be quiet, small, served good food, and far away, oh, and accepted my naked butt on the beach. I found just what I wanted at Playa Sonrisa! The only thing missing was my 2 PM cup of fresh... More

This was our first time to Play Sonrisa and it was as close to perfect as it gets. Donn and Cindy are wonderful, very accomodating and went out of thier way to make reservations for the guests for side trips or restaurants in town. The food is a fixed menu and nothing Cindy cooked was bad. Excellent soups. The grounds... More
