My husband and I flew down for a quick 3 nights, our longest trip away from our 4 year old son. It was truly spectacular. The spot is amazing. We stayed in SOL 1 and I highly recommend it. It has wide sweeping views of the ocean, totally open space with hammock, wonderful loftly bed and great beach access down... More

First off, if you equate excellence with grand fountains and marble columns upon entry into your 5 star resort, this is not your place. If you prefer low key, 'open' rooms with the sound of the ocean right out your window, the friendliest customer service imaginable, a truly unique jungle/beach setting, and a place with really good food, Playa Escondida...

As we toured the facilities at Harama, we stumbled upon the private beach of Playa Escondida. The bartender, Jorge, was extremely friendly and made excellent... More

We ended up staying here strictly by luck. We had not heard of it or read any press outside of Tripadvisor reviews once we found it, but we made last minute vacation plans and they had availability (and gave us a last-minute discount!). We stayed part of the time in a room very close to the water that was tucked... More

My husband and I just returned from a wonderful week spent at Playa Escondida and while we don't normally do repeat locations, this place could qualify. I have to say that I travel frequently to both high and low level locations for work and have limited vacation time which unfortunately falls at the same time as everyone else so when... More

Stayed 4 days in early December. I'm already planning a trip back. My husband and I had the best time at Playa Escondida. It was peaceful, beautiful, relaxing and very romantic.
