A crown jewel of paradise! Looking for a place for you and your sweetheart to hold hands on the beach then wander over over to the dinner hut and not have a worry in the world then this place is for YOU! Don't expect ClubMed buffet tables, constant entertainment, and non stop activity. What you will find is their choice... more

It took us a while to get there, arriving after 11 p.m. (Plane was late) Murph escorted us to our room and said he'd see us in the morning. The room was spacious and clean with a wonderful breeze from the ocean. We opened a bottle of wine and sat on the porch enjoying the sound of the ocean and... more

We recently spent a week at Playa Sonrisa. Our experience was overwhelming positive, and we plan to go back in the future. It’s very laid back, well run and best appreciated by those who are comfortable with a clothing optional setting (read NUDE most of the time except waist down in the dining area) in a fairly remote area. We... more

We were at playa sonrisa from march 10th to 13th and we were sad to leave this place at the time of departure to Playa del Carmen. This hotel is a gem on the riviera Maya and Murph an Cindy did a great job to preserve this so wonderful beach. We are a french couple and we love to discover... more

Every day we spent at Playa Sonrisa was beautiful and more than we could ask for. We were there for four nights in Feb. Murph and Cindy graciously and unassumingly did all we needed a host to do. The rooms were large and kept clean, the water bottles full and the breeze was lovely each night. We used his guidance... more

We are repeated guests at Playa Sonrisa. Actually we stayed there three times within 12 months (last time dec. 2006 - the same time as the Chicago people stayed there). We just love Playa Sonrisa, Cindy and Murph are great hosts, Cindy's food is just exquisit and delicious. The installations are perfect and considering that the destination is far off... more

For recharging yourself, there's no better place than Playa Sonrisa's low key elegance. This was our second visit, and we were even more impressed this time! Breakfast is included in the rate, with ample fruits, eggs, and muffins to keep one full 'till lunch. Tuna wraps and roast beef sandwiches kept us out of the kitchen 'till the 3 course... more

We returned (very unwillingly) from Playa Sonrisa on Feb 16, 2007, after nine glorious days of peace, wonderful company, superb hosts, lots of laughter and good humour, excellent food and flawless service. Our initial plan was to drive out from Playa Sonrisa during our stay there, to visit the various Mayan sites, but - frankly - the beach and the... more

We just got back (Monday) from Playa Sonrisa. We loved it. The beach location was great, the accommodations were great, the food was wonderful and the hosts were the best. Just in case you don’t know, this is a clothing optional resort. However, it is optional and you can bare as much or little as you want. You will feel... more
