“Must Visit, can't wait to get back!!!”
+Most amazing place because of the most amazing people! Iz and Shay, Oscar and David, I will never forget them. Family to me now! If you are looking for a chill place where you can be you, this is it. Beautiful place, great fishing/diving/snorkeling but most of all good vibes only. ✌️ ❤️ Come as you are and leave better. Can't say enough good things about the experience and looking forward to my next stay.

“GO GO TO PLAYA DEL SOL !”
+This place has been amazing to stay at. I would 1000% recommend come again. Iz, Oscar, David and the rest of the staff gave us an amazing experience with snorkeling, saw sting rays, turtles and even sharks. They’re so welcoming and fun to be around and learned a lot about Belize throughout the stay.

“My wife’s 50th Birthday was not a disappointment!”
+I am here with both family and friends, we have 6 adults and 7 kids from 12-20. We are all having a wonderful vacation and there is something for everybody to do. The host IZ and his wife Shay have been amazing and have helped us set up several excursion’s, some with his crew and boat and others with third party hosts. Everything we have done through them has been top notch and all of us have had fun! Thank you to IZ, Shay, Oscar, David, Jimmy and the rest of the Playa Del Sol family for making this vacation and my wife’s 50th Birthday so special!

“See you again and again!”
+We chose Playa Del Sol based on a referral from one of my colleagues. It was our first trip to Belize, and we had no idea what to expect from the island. Thanks to Iz’s excellent communication (and patience), we felt like we had been there before. Upon arrival, Iz arranged a van to take us to the resort. After a 30-minute drive, we arrived to Iz’s warm welcome and complimentary killer rum punches! After unwinding at the pier, we met with Iz to plan our short trip. That evening, we spent time at the on-site bar, El Norte, where we enjoyed a complimentary dinner of stew chicken with rice & beans before heading to bed early. (Blame it on the rum punch!) We started the next day with a fishing tour led by David & Oscar,such a fun experience! The following day, we took a tour of Mexico Rocks. Overall, we felt like we had just reunited with our extended family in Belize! Spending time with Iz and his crew was truly priceless. Thank you Iz and his extended family, and see you again and again!

“El Norte is THE BEST stay in San Pedro”
+My stay was wonderful, staff is very friendly and accommodating. The resort was clean and enjoyable with a beautiful view of the ocean. We did the scuba excursion our first day and our guides were very knowledgeable and made sure everyone was comfortable in the water and were enjoying our time. The second day we did the ruins and tubing excursion with Shaid and it is a must!

“A break from Adulting”
+Best vacation we have been on in years. Iz and his wife made the experience completely unforgetable. We have not traveled abroad much and having the knowledge, experience and genuine hospitality from this host is %100 priceless. We were spoiled and cared for like family. We are overjoyed and will book with Iz again. We will stay here exclusively. Words truly can't express. A trip of a lifetime because it is their passion to please their guests in ways you WILL NOT find the world over. UnBelizeable

“Great first visit to Belize (Ambergris Caye)”
+Playa del Sol (PDS) is an attractive, economical option especially for those interested in a more personal, reliable remote option and a chance to experience the lesser developed, beautiful northern part of the Caye. Iz and Shea are friendly, helpful hosts readily available to create a personalized Belize experience. David and Oscar, fishing and snorkeling guides, are fantastic and Yuri - cook and masseuse - is a gem. The Playa del Sol team is accessible, knowledgeable, and flexible. At PDS, our condo was clean and stocked with enough dishes for us to make our own breakfasts. The A/C and WIFI worked perfectly, and the A/C helped dry out clothes from the day’s adventures (the condo could use towel hooks or a rack). The condo was spacious enough for our family of four. The grounds are well maintained, the tiki bar is stocked, the ocean is just steps from the condo, and the dock hammock and chairs by the water provide inviting places to relax. Iz helped us rent a golf cart, waiting for us at PDS, so we could independently explore the northern coast (Margaritaville, Tranquility Bay and Rocky Point in Bacalar Chico MR). The trip to downtown San Pedro from PDS is about 50 minutes over a

“Good but not amazing.”
+Overall, we had a great time at Playa del Sol. That said, I would not give it 5 stars. It wasn't terrible, but it wasn't amazing either. It was just "okay". A bit more attention, care, and maintenance could make it a really incredible place but the owner seems satisfied to just keep things as is. Positive: the rooms were clean, the food and drinks that we had at the bar were very good, the guides were very friendly and helpful. Negative: the actual property is fairly small with a seawall so there is no wading directly from the beach. And the adjacent beach areas are trashy and covered in seagrass so there is no way into the ocean from the property. It is also far (a solid hour) from the downtown area over pothole filled roads so I do not recommend it if you are not willing to either stay there the entire time or drive the hour. We stayed as a large group of 11 (all family) and had 3 golf carts with us, we left the resort all day every day with the exception of the fishing and snorkeling days. We had great fun with the guides (who were fantastic), and the cook made a delicious dinner from our catch. The condos were spacious enough, but we could never get the tv to work at all, the s

“Like being at home in your own resort”
+The ambiance was very relaxing. Accommodations were comfortable. I appreciate that fishing and snorkeling were included in the package. The location made it easy to visit other resorts, beaches and restaurants. Food and drinks were terrific. Above all else, the hosts and staff made you really feel at home, like you have known each other for a long time.

“Plays Del Soll All That and More”
+Our stay included adults and teens. Everyone had a great time. Iz and his crew are tremendous hosts. The fishing, snorkeling, diving is all there. David and Oscar are pros at what they do. Carlos makes the best three shot rum punch. Don’t pass on the Turkish Tequila shot. The food was caught and cooked day of and was amazing. We have been multiple times to the island, don’t be afraid to stay North, much more authentic experience.
