Amazing
" We recently spent our December month in Playa Escondida. It honestly was the place where my step family and i were truly united. The absolute best guy in the whole world named Jorge. Not George, or Haywore. Hor-Hay. Made the trip the best ever! It was like a second home. He help us create our famous drink, \"The Twisted Sisters\"(Founded By Paije and Kassidy). The staff was amazing! the nicest people ever! Mario was pretty awesome too! And all teh extra accomodations they offered was fantastic! Display full text ...read more "

Pure Relaxation
" I booked this surprise trip for my wife and I in hopes of a true getaway, it was tough leaving our 16 month old home but found once we arrived I had really found a special place. It exceeded our expectations in every way- quiet, relaxing, an absolutely wonderful staff, and a pure paradise. We rented a car with the thought of driving around the local area and maybe trying some restaurants elsewhere. Due to the excellent staff and truly amazing food we ate dinner in every night we were there. Display full text ...read more "

Stayed last year in Feb
" I have been to Mexico plenty of times, but we were tired of the business and congestion of big resorts. We stumbled upon Play Escondida while searching on the web. We came in February 2008 for 4 nights and it was so refreshing to not have the tourist vibe that PV abounds with. Playa is a relaxed, quiet vacation without phones, tons of people, or distractions. The resort has great food, a great pool, and an atmosphere that is charming and eclectic. We will be coming back."

Can't Wait To Come Back
" We spent over a week at Playa Escondida recently and it was awesome. The bungalows in the jungle are great, truly like living outside, but with all the comforts of home. We loved the restaurant, bar, beach and pool. And, the staff was amazing, so friendly and knowledgeable. We rented a car and wouldn't have it any other way. The resort is located about 10 minutes from Sayulita and having a car made it easy to enjoy both as well as explore the coast and the town of San Pancho further north.

Wonderful escape
" My husband and I have just had our first child. We left him to travel for ourselves. We found a home away from home. Everyone was nice, friendly, and could not be more helpful. My brother was so impressed he is planning a trip right away and we our planning on returning in April. Thanks to all the staff and everyone in Sayulita. Nova took care of our every need and was very easy going. The spa is something that everyone will enjoy. Thanks to your special place. We will be back."

Playa Escondida means "secret beach" in Spanish...
" Playa Escondida we discovered means "secret beach" in Spanish.....if you're looking for one, you found your spot!

The grounds are beautifully kept, the pool and restaurant area is a tropical bliss and the beach is secluded and lovely. The bungalows are all different, each very quaint, comfortable and unique. I definitely recommend this place!

Besides the stunning location, the owners have great taste and every little detail is well thought out.
It is great for both a Display full text ...read more

Secluded Haven
" My husband and I stayed here for a romantic getaway, and the resort exceeded our expectations. The food was incredible, the service was outstanding, and the location can't be beat. The beach is gorgeous, and each of the rooms are different - each has its own personality. The owners and staff are unbelievable and do everything to make your stay perfect. We have never had better margaritas, and it was hard to come back to reality! We would go back in a second. Thank you to Nova, Alejandro, Display full text ...read more "

...One of the Most Special Places in the World
" My wife and I had the pleasure of staying at Playa Escondida last month in Sol#1 from 9/30 – 10/6. We had the most amazing experience.

We travel to Mexico every year and have been lucky enough to stay in beautiful hotels including Casa que Canta, El Murmullo, Maroma, Quinta Real Huatulco, and Las Hadas Manzanillo. However, our favorite place has been Playa Escondida because of the unique mix of luxury, simplicity, natural beauty, tranquility, and warm hospitality.

Like a real Fantasy Island
" We had an amazing time here, the resort is beautiful + private. The Love Nest + Villa 3 we stayed at, each had a lot of charm + lots of good memories were made there !
Your Staff treated like royalty or rather like long last cousins, part of the family! Gabriel (morning chef) made fabulous breakfast + lunches, always fresh + tasty. Vicente was extremely friendly + tried very hard to understand our language. Oscar was a pleasure to meet, very polite, helped us to learn some Spanish too. Display full text ...read more "

Wonderful hideaway
" We were pleasantly surprised by this gem. Wonderful rooms, great food, impecable service. For sure we will be back again next year. Thanks Israel for the wonderful meals and Maria de Jesus for the unforgetable margaritas when we were watching the sunsets in the great jacuzzi with my kids. Surprisingly enough is that all the guests were polite and friendly with also smiling faces... I wonder why.... Great place!! and will be back soon!!!"

Unforgettable; Don't Miss this!
" We brought our family to visit playa Escondida and we found that we were only a part of a much larger one! The staff and local people are the best in Mexico! The surroundings are truly amazing, the service is unsurpassed, and the food is to die for. Casa Luna Uno is a dream home for the vacationer; the beach and flora are a tribute to the endless work of the staff that maintains everything to perfection. I don’t think there is an ‘off-season’ here, as the staff and the surroundings make life so Display full text ...read more "

My Paradise Refound
" When we turned off the sayulita rd. to playa escondida into the jungle and said what are we doing here. But, when we turned into the gated playa and palapas we knew we had found paradise. Luna uno was our home away from home. The staff at playa are great and the food is fit for a king and queen, not to mention the Cuban cigars"

Perfect!
" People said I was crazy....traveling alone to Mexico with my 5 year old daughter. We had a great time. Our house was very comfortable, the food was great and the pool was just right for her (not to mention she fell in love with John Mark). We can't wait to come back. Thank You!"

A great escape !
" The allure of Playa Escondida for us were the beautiful natural surroundings, uniquely designed casas, excellent meals and friendly staff. We were so intrigued by the casas that we stayed a couple of nights in three different ones. We looked forward, daily, to having our dinner overlooking the lovely pool with the secluded beach and Pacific beyond. We would heartily recommend Playa Escondida to anyone looking for a great escape. Plan to visit again..."

Amazing
" You have a fantastic location in a gorgeous, yet sweet and genuine spot...and of course, your food WAS amazing!
PS - You have the coolest dogs of all time. We watched Cuba play with the cat on the beach on our last night there, and had to take a video because it was so funny!! "

A Dream!
" We came for our Honeymoon and couldn't have picked a better place! Diego (the owner) couldn't have been more accommodating and the staff was above excellent. Miguel had us laughing every day, and David & Claudia were a joy as well. The casas were so beautiful. We can't wait to come back!"

amazing, delightful, memorable
" We came for our dear friend's 60th birthday dinner - and will never forget it! Awesome food, truly. Soup to dessert, it rocked! Drinks on the beach. Who arranged that Day-glo sunset? And the pool - we had a bet that it was empty. You can't clean it like that... amazing, delightful, memorable. I'd like to say that the bathroom was a wonder. Come check this out."

Thanks !
" Willa and I wanted to express to you how much we appreciated our vacation last week at your hideaway and we’re so happy that our Son Jeff discovered this very special resort.
The food, whether it was breakfast, lunch or dinner was simply perfect. And in fact the dinners were absolutely 5-star!

why would you want to go anyway
" we enjoyed six days at playa escondida. the setting is amazing... fantastic "flinstonesque" architecture(natural rock...one with nature), beauteous beach, and solicitous staff. the resort attracts interesting guests, so it's fun to hang out by the pool and restaurant to get to know the folks who discovered this slice of paradise. we strongly recommend a visit to playa escondida."

Delicioso!

Fiji in Mexico
" The weather notwithstanding, this is the best Mexican trip we've ever had. The staff was very friendly, the rooms very cute and the short trip to Sayulita well worth it. Our only suggestion would be more variety in the meals, especially dinner."
