My wife and I just returned from a 4 night stay at Playa Escondida. It was fantastic. Our room was beautiful; the food and drinks were great; and the hotel staff *absolutely amazing.* My wife and I travel quite a bit for work and we've had the pleasure of staying in some nice and highly rated hotels and honestly, I don't think I've ever encountered a staff as warm, friendly and on-point as the one at Playa Escondida.
We’d gone to the hotel to celebrate my wife’s birthday. Prior to the trip, ...read more
I e-mailed the hotel staff asking if it might be possible to have some flowers and champagne in the room when we arrived. I was told it would be. I’ve made requests like this before and didn’t expect much -- a rose or two maybe.
We got quite a bit more than that. We arrived to find our room completely decked out in rose petals and candles with a happy birthday message spelled out on the bed in red Bougainvillea flowers. A dozen roses and a bottle of chilled champagne had been left on the table.
It was wonderful gesture and that set the tone for our entire stay. In the ensuing days we were very well-treated by staffers, many of whom we knew on a first name basis by the time we left. To a one, they were warm, friendly and helpful with everything from special food requests (of course we’ll make you some fish tacos) and dining recommendations to advice about surf fishing from the beach.
There is no question in my mind that we will visit again.

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! ...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. ...read more
We are most definitely planning a return trip next year.

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. The ...read more
guest services staff was off for the week when we were there, which was definitely disappointing, so I would recommend that you book activities ahead of your stay. We stayed in the Guest House for the first week and loved it and the Cabana the last part. The Cabana was very close to other bungalows and a bit loud, I wouldn't recommend it for families or for a long stay. Playa Escondida is truly a secret beach and well worth it. We can't wait to go back.
Playa Escondida is NOT a family resort however you should be aware that you may encounter a few children from time to time.
