An intimate experience with nature in eco-chic comfort on a private jungle-beach. Playa Escondida is a secluded private resort, nested in a beachfront setting surrounded by hills covered with jungle. We feature 18 unique rooms, perfectly integrated with the natural surroundings. Playa Escondida is located one mile from the quaint fishing village and colorful surfer enclave, Sayulita, Nayarit, on the Mexican Pacific Coast...and a world away from anywhere else. more » « less

With the hectic schedules many of us live by, escape is a much needed and desired idea. Playa Escondida is just that, an escape from the rush of the city and work. The resort is not posh... it is not a spotless, sterile marble floored resort with overblown air conditioning and cold occupants. It is an escape from that as... more

This property is a unique, outdoor experience, but over-priced for what you get - and they've recently jacked their prices up significantly. The best parts are the nice, secluded beach with lounge chairs, the hot tub, and the massages. I wouldn't recommend staying here for more than a few days, and if you do, be prepared to spend way too... more

We just got back from a 5 day stay at Playa Escondida and couldn't say one bad thing about it. The service was phenom and the food was excellent- I recommend the machaha for breakfast. The massages poolside were great. Nova the manager was training another girl and both were very helpful and offered good advice. I actually wish we... more

First, a more appropriate rating is 9/10 because it's better than 4 out of 5. My wife and I loved everything about our stay, except one small thing that was enough to make it not perfect. I'll get to that later. We went the first week of the off season (June 1st), which I highly recommend to save some money.... more

Wasn't quite sure what to expect, even though the pictures on the website looked wonderful. When I arrived I was so pleasantly surprised that it was even better in real life. The pool, restaurant, beach, and grounds create a wonderful atmosphere for relaxation. The people that work there and stayed there were all very friendly and I must say that... more

My husband and I stayed at Playa Escondida in April for 10-days. It was absolutely fantastic, we loved every minute and can't wait to go back. We just booked our second trip for November. We stayed in the Guest House for the majority of our stay and the Cabana for the last two nights. The Guest House is high on... more

This is a belated review...We stayed in March in Bungalow 1. It was like sleeping in a treehouse w/ no walls. Rustic, yet somehow chic. That kind of describes the whole place. Funky charm, but not luxurious. Food was very good, not great. Pool was fine. Sunsets beautiful. Beach gorgeous..but: waves too rough to really swim when we were there.... more

We just got back from a week-long vacation, and we loved this place. We stayed in Villa 2, which was fantastic. But we got peeks inside the other villas, which were also very nice. Next time, I'd probably go for one with a King bed, but that's the only thing I'd do differently. All the rooms/cabanas are unique and very... more

We stayed in the Casa Luna Uno from May 1 to May 11 and had the time of our lives. Luna Uno is the most fabulous house. We loved the full kitchen. It was so nice not to have to leave the house to go eat. However, when we did eat in the restuarant, the food was great and prepared... more

My wife and just returned from a 4 night stay at Playa Escondida... it was fabulous! We would definitely go back. I don't know that we would stay more than 4 or 5 nights - we really thought everything about the resort (pool, beach, bar, restaurant, spa, lodging) were all fantastic. We stayed in Bungalo 1 - it's a "jungle"... more
