    I cannot be more grateful to everyone at Playa De Sala! The location is beautiful, quiet and peaceful. The food is so lovely and the rooms were clean and so unique. Most importantly, the staff were amazing. I’ve made some friends for life! A huge huge shoutout to Melissa, Princess, Jacob and Shawn who made my stay unforgettable and helped me through getting my lost luggage, taking me into town and making my stay so comfortable. Thank you for everything and I can’t wait to be back.

    Nothing to not like.

    This property is located on the south part of the island, so if you are into the party scene….the strip with all the restaurants and being close to the action… You probably won’t like this property because it is super Quiet and out of the way. It’s about a good 20 to 30 minute ride on a golf cart and as you get closer if you are riding at night it is pretty dark. That made looking at the stars 1000x better. However, there was no point to where we felt unsafe. The staff is super nice and welcoming and also very helpful. You have access to sunscreen and bug spray if you do need that. The restaurant has amazing views and the food is really excellent. This is perfect for a couple who is looking for more laid-back vacation, but you still have access to make your way around the island should you want to make your way to secret beach, or explore some of the beach bars.

    It’s advertised as a swingers/nude hotel. Definitely is not, although private definitely not nude. No one to swing with. Also, extremely far from literally everything once the kitchen is closed there’s nothing! If you have a “bad back” definitely shouldn’t stay, the distance on golf cart with no pavement is a looooooong distance.

    Private, quiet, good food, amazing customer service

    I loved everything about this place.

    I loved this property and the staff! Everyone was friendly and treated me very well. I was able to meet the owner who was very personable and will forever have a lasting impression on me. What she has done with this property has created a space where everyone is treated like family and more businesses she operate like hers.

    I would consider if you want to go to San Pedro city often or secret beach. On golf cart, secret beach is 1 1/2 hr away. I wouldn't be out late because hotel isnt near other places so you do not want to be on a dark road for an hour.

    The food was delicious. Very private and secluded. Rooms are very nice and have there own touch.

    We had the red curry with shrimp and it was amazing. The chicken pieces were also delicious. On the other hand, we had the fresh fish for dinner and each had two of the sides, trying four of them and the sides were just so-so. It's also a 20- minute golf cart ride from town, so it's nice to be in the quiet beauty, but takes a bit to get into town.

    What a beautiful hotel and amazing staff. I highly recommend it! From the moment you arrive, they learn your name and make sure to take care of anything you need. The beds are amazing and the rooms are super comfortable. As there are only five rooms, it was pretty quiet, but with as much drinks, fun and good as you wanted to add. We spent an entire day just drifting from the pool, to our deck, to the bar and back. Lovely!

    Although the hotel is nice, the location is a little too far out from activities. The food was very mediocre and bland. The Internet (or lack thereof) was very lackluster. The property was advertised as “all inclusive “ which it definitely is not.

    I like the vibe of the resort. It was clean and welcoming. The staff was very friendly and helpful. I liked that it was right on the water with a private beach.

    That does not provide amenities according to the rating provided by Booking.com. The location is terrible and in the middle of nowhere and an area it does not look clean or safe

    I did not like the property. The swimming pool, the beach and amenities were a joke and they look nothing like the pictures

    1. Our room flooded in the middle of the night due to a failed plumbing fitting. The handyman, at the direction of the owner, was fast to help us mop up the water and he fixed it in the morning, again he was outstanding and kind. 2. Requested feather free linens and pillows- major allergy, I broke out in hives on my neck - something had feathers, and I feel they did not take my allergy seriously. 3. I booked a tour through the hotel- Upon arrival nobody knew about it and we had to wait for 2 hours for a family favorite tour operator to come to the hotel to help us rebook. We were told cash was the only method accepted. This was not luxury . 4. Hotel management issues with administration, check-in, and staff conflicts starting with both the manager and bartender being let-go but later returning and our prior correspondence regarding tours and arrival being lost. I don’t feel guests should be informed of internal staffing strife or conflicts. 5. Overpriced. 6. We were not asked if our clothes were soaked, nothing - we did not move rooms, it was truly not a luxury hotel. The folks working in the kitchen - they were so nice and the food was very good. The Handyman saved us during the room being flooded. He was amazing and worked so hard, even filling-in as a cook when needed. Overall - it was not a good experience- at a “luxury” hotel . The drive is very long to the hotel via golf club. It is very very dark with massive pot holes in the road. It took us 30-45 mins to get into town via a golf cart.

    It was modern and the cooks in the kitchen, bar tender, and the handyman were wonderful people. However, we encountered a series of very unfortunate events during our stay.
