We started our hospitality business in 2015 as a vacation rental. Initially, we built two units—one to live in and one to rent out. That two-bedroom unit generated USD $130K in just 19 months, with an additional $90K coming from our tour center, bar sales, and commissions.
Encouraged by the success of the rental, we expanded and temporarily closed for construction. Two more units were completed in November 2017, and we reopened as a full-fledged resort.
What Makes Playa del Sol So Unique?
1. Boutique-Style Privacy & Location
Playa del Sol is a boutique resort located 10 miles north of town—offering the perfect balance of privacy and seclusion while still being easily accessible to restaurants, shopping, and beaches. The property sits between two national marine parks—Mexico Rocks and Bacalar Chico Marine Park—making it a dream destination for nature and adventure lovers.
2. A Proven Business Model
Unlike many properties on the market that have changed hands several times, Playa del Sol is offered directly by the original developers. This ensures a clear history, streamlined operations, and a strong foundation. The resort has been run successfully from day one, with growing guest demand year after year.
3. Built-In Guest Experiences
We operate on a unique model: every guest group receives two complimentary tours; one snorkeling and one fishing. This strategy keeps occupancy strong throughout the year—not just in high season. With two in-house tour guides and our own 28-foot boat, additional tours like spearfishing, open water fishing, and Caye Caulker day trips generate strong additional income.
El Norte Bar & Grill, located on-site in front of the condos (without blocking ocean views), has become a popular local hangout. It serves shrimp ceviche, tacos, chicken wings, and local favorites, with drinks and service praised by loyal guests and locals. It is also the only bar north of San Pedro with both road and ocean access.
4. Online Presence Included
The sale includes all social media accounts and the resort’s website. Our Facebook page has more than 3,200 followers, and the website averages 4,500 visits annually—valuable digital assets for continued marketing and direct bookings.
5. Reliable Infrastructure
- Road Access: The local government has already started planning a new paved road to the area, which will improve accessibility and long-term property values.
- Deliveries & Supplies: All major companies deliver directly to the resort, and local vendors stop by twice a week with fresh vegetables and produce.
- Water Security: A 52,000-gallon rainwater system provides abundant fresh water storage.
- Seawall: A well-maintained seawall protects the property from erosion, ensuring lasting value.
6. Quality Construction & Comfort
Every unit features hurricane-rated windows and exterior doors, handmade hardwood finishes, LED fixtures, individual air conditioning, ceiling fans, and double sinks in the main bathrooms.
7. Experienced Team
The resort comes with a loyal staff of 5 workers, each averaging 10 years of service. Their experience, dedication, and knowledge of daily operations make management seamless for new owners.
