Guest Reviews
- tyrone (8/5): -
- Kiara (6/5): El lugar espectacular, pero la comunicación con los administradores del aparatamento fatal. - La comodidad Falta de comunicación, nos cortaron el agua 20 minutos antes de la salida y mis hijos se regresaron sin bañarse. Me explicaron lo sucedido, sin embargo no hubo ningún mensaje de consideración en reponer el tiempo.
- Espinosa (10/5): Estancia cómoda, relajante y segura - Todo. Habitaciones muy cómodas. Baños equipados con cantidad adecuada de toallas y papel higiénico. Al llegar encontramos super limpio el apartamento. Todo estaba perfecto
- Roxana (7/5): Playa y naturaleza - La playa y los servixios disponibles, la infraestructura del condominio, definitivamente son lo mejor. El apartamento es muy grande pero tiene muebles de venta de garaje, no solo son feos pero incomodos. No hay nada de decoracion, ni un cuadro, ni una planta. Insisto, lo mejor esta fuera del apartamento.
- Ivonne (2/5): Cocina con utensilios en mal estado y una invasión de cucarachas - La cocina con ollas y sartenes rayados, las tijeras rotas, sin palas, tablas ni cucharas de madera, y lo peor es una invasión de cucarachas pequeñas, en especial en los armarios de la cocina. A mi familia le dio tanto asco que ninguno quiso comer de lo que trajimos para cocinar y nos vimos obligados a pagar restaurante desayuno, almuerzo y cena y perder varios de los alimentos frescos que llevamos.
- Lauren (9/5): Muy buen ubicado con todo equipado y lindo lugar - La mayoría
Solo la nevera no enfriaba tanto , del resto todo bien
- Gabriela (10/5): -
- Mitzy Nieves (8/5): - Ubicación, playa y restaurante Atención al cliente de los alquileres
- Itzel (10/5): An amazing and relaxing stay with breathtaking views—definitely coming back! - The apartment was beautiful, clean, and very comfortable. The ocean view was absolutely stunning and made the stay even more special. The location at Playa Escondida is peaceful and perfect for a relaxing getaway. Everything was well organized and the check-in process was smooth. Honestly, everything was great. Just a small suggestion would be to have a few more kitchen essentials or extra towels, but nothing that affected our stay.
- Carmen (9/5): -
- Indira (8/5): - Los chicos y chicas muy atentos Francusco y Lili Indican que son 3 baños y en realidad eran 2.5 baños
Para muchas personas muy pocos baños.
Las toallas algunas muy deterioradas.
- Borja Wong (8/5): -
- Laura (6/5): It is OK - The apartment was really nice. Beautiful view, nice decor and furnishing.
Kitchen well equipped with appliances and the basic ware (if you are coming to cook at home), just some slight details in cleaning, but it was really good.
Comfy beds and clean sheets. Cable available. Wifi worked very well and AC was good too.
Bathrooms were good, nice showers. Only a towel per person for the bathroom and only one for the beach, they were not too absorbent, but were big, clean and in good shape.If you will stay more than 2 days I suggest you bring your own. There is a washing and dryer machine but you must bring your soap.
The beaches are nice, they created beaches with white sand, a little island with a bar, they have the inflatable park, the only problem, the quantity of algae, but they also have personnel cleaning it.
The pools are good, you can go to different ones, the Kayuco one is fantastic with the bar there, you can go to the busy ones or find more tranquility in others. Gardens are well maintained and pretty.
Gym is OK.
Personnel and staff from the Complex were really friendly.
The Bar at the Island was the best for us, good drinks, good snacks and meals and very nice and attentive service. At night it was gorgeous and they were having Karaoke night that for the teens was a hit. Lack of detailed information about the Playa Escondida Complex; rules, how to get the best of it, restaurants, open-closing times, that you can do your own grill at home or at the beach, etc. If you are going, make sure you get the detailed information on how to use the facilities before arrival, especially if it is high season.
Problems at the gate and contacting the host:
This is a Gated Community Complex, you must pass a security check at the entrance with a specific FORM, we did not have it (the host forgot to send it and it was difficult to reach him to solve the problem). Make sure you get this before arrival.
We arrived around 13:30, a little early (we asked the host for the possibility to have an early check when we booked, but never got confirmation); with the gate entrance problem the host said it was not possible to check in. But he did not give us any tips on how to wait the 1:30 min at the Complex. Fortunately, the staff from the guards were really nice and they guided us (where to park and where to go in the meantime).
Food:
8 Nudos (8 Nuts) Restaurant: Food is fair, not the best in the world, it is OK, standard prices, in my opinion expensive for the quality, the personnel is not friendly and the service is lousy. In our case, they wanted us to eat quickly and leave at 8:20 pm. They just came while we were eating the main course to announce they were preparing the bill, no dessert or coffee/tea was offered. Awkward since a few other tables with regulars seem to have no problem staying.
Kayuco Restaurant at the pool: Food was not our favorite., but the service was nice. Prices were fair.
Ice Cream Place: Nice decor, regular Ice cream, not a good coffee, not nice staff.
In Playa Escondida there is NOTHING else around where to go, it is an isolated place. It is just that. That's probably the reason the families bring their grill and prepare their nice meals at home or in the beach bungalows. So you need to know that in advance too.
- Fernando walter (8/5): -
- Luis (5/5): lugar lindo, de alto costo, instalciones y servicios del apartamento no a la altura del precio - El tamaño de las habitaciones es muy bueno. Las camas son muy cómodas. El aseo: recibimos el apartamento a las 15 h y aún no estaba realizada la limpieza. Llegaron tarde para ello, y siendo las 17 h del día aún había personas dentro del apartamento haciendo limpieza. La cocina no está bien equipada. Falta la utensilios de cocina. La campana que aspira los olores no aspira; solo emite ruido, como si estuviese haciendo su trabajo. No había instrucciones sobre cómo se encendía el horno. Logré que me dieran las instrucciones por WhatsApp… tenía que usar fósforos, que ya no podía conseguir a las 21 h. Para el precio que pagué hubiese esperado una mejor atención
- Tamar Nina (9/5): It was a really lovely resort. It was actually very quiet when we were there so that made it more enjoyable. Because we - Lovely property. Friendly staff. Beautiful beach They could use a little more maintenance or cleaning staff cleaning the property
- Melissa (7/5): - el apartamento esta bien decorado, limpio y las habitaciones cómodas, buena ubicación cerca de la playa se necesita mejor equipamiento en la cocina, la tabla de picar ya no sirve, no hay recipientes de vidrio para guardar comida o para hornear, la estufa es muy lenta deben revisarla, eramos un grupo de 10 y solo habian 6 puestos en el comedor y 6 set de cubiertos, no habia suficiente jabon de baño ni papel higiénico, ni tampoco habia papel toalla, hay un agujero en el techo del baño
- Araujo (10/5): -
- Jeff (7/5): Good but could have been Great - Easily the best part of Playa Escondida was the white sand beaches and clear water. We appreciated that there were wave break walls set up, so the waves did not pound the beach and kept the water calm and fun to enjoy. Also, the water was not very deep, so wading out was easy. The closeness of the apartments to the beaches also only made it a short walk to get to the beach, and there was plenty of seating, though I imagine when it is crowded, beach lounge chairs are a premium. The one open restaurant, Kayuco Restaurant & Bar, was also very good with decent service. Overall, the food was flavorful, though it still could of used more seasoning. Also, La Tienda general store had a good selection of items at reasonable prices. When I checked in to get the key at administration, we were not provided any information or orientation about the resort to include a rundown of the complex, what was open and closed, available amenities, and the schedule of events. Need a reception desk to greet guests and check them in, and focus on customer service and familiarizing them with the resort. Administration should focus on actually taking care of the complex. Found out that during this time of year, during weekdays, they have very little to offer during the week and very limited food options. The Wahoo's Bar & Restaurant was closed and only open on weekends, and there was a limited list of menu items at Kayuco Restaurant & Bar. Al;so, there were grills available at each canopy beach site, but when my wife inquired with the administration about using them, she was told they are not available during weekdays, though on our last day did see one family use them, so we were confused on what the policy is. I wish would had known about them up front and fi could have used them as I would have grilled hamburgers, etc, for lunch. There was also zero entertainment during the week. I have stayed at other resorts in Panama, and this had the fewest offerings of any of the others. Pretty disappointing on value given the amount of money spent on the apartment. There were also no menus at the restaurant in English nor any brochures of the site provided in English or Spanish.
- Maure (8/5): Excelente - Todo -
- diaz (9/5): - Me encanto el lugar, seguro, cue ta con todo lo necesario para sentirse de vacaciones y como en casa. Todo excelente
- Lidia (8/5): Orientacion del apartamento - Cercania a la playa. Buenas áreas de exparcimiento para adolescentes y preadolescentes La ubicacion puesto que el balcon estaba orientado hacia el lado contrario de la playa y del lado contrario de la orientación predominante del viento por lo cual hacia que fuese muy caliente y adicionalmente se daño el aire acondicionado principal por lo cual el clima interior no era muy agradable.
- rose (7/5): Playa escondida - Muy cómodo y amplio A la cocina le falta equiparla , la tele de los cuartos no funcionaban bien ni para Netflix , queríamos un late check out y nos querían cobrar 200 dólares por 3 doras luego de que pagas mil y tanto por una estadía nos querían cobrar tanto lo vimos costoso!!
- Diana Aixa (9/5): Excelente apartamento - La comodidad del apartamento. No tenía implementos de limpieza como desinfectantes de piso o jabón para lavar ropa.

- Alan (10/5): -
- Angela (10/5): -
- Nancy (10/5): Amazing place to relax and build memories with your love ones - The place was beautiful and the apartment very comfortable and with everything you needed it from the kitchen to the rooms and social areas. Was a little too far from everything. The closest supermarket was almost 20 minutes away
- Lizbeth (9/5): - Todo hermosooo La demira para entregar el apartamento
- juan pedro (9/5): -
- Ximena (10/5): Un lugar perfecto para pasarla en familia - Es un lugar perfecto para disfrutar en grupos o familia. Ideal para que los niños se diviertan en una playa cristalina de arena blanca, un lugar seguro silencioso y muy agradable. Se puede pescar, subir al kayak o disfrutar de sus playas o piscinas. Ideal ir entre semana que hay poca gente y está todo precioso. El apartamento está full equipado, muy limpio y cómodo caben entre 8/10’personas, me encantó! Me gustaría que fuera pet friendly, y me hizo falta un buen pescadito frito en los restaurantes. Los menú por ser entre semana tenían comida más mediterránea o internacional. Pero realmente no afectó nuestros planes estuvo maravilloso!
- Elzbieta (10/5): -
- Enrico (9/5): Un lugar agradable para descansar y pasar unos dias de playa - Buena acomodación, y un lugar muy agradable para pasar unos dias de descanso. El unico restaurante abierto dentro del complejo, regular y costoso. Es mejor traerse o comprar en los supermercados que estan en los alrededores las cosas que se vayan a consumir durante la estadía ya que el apartamento y la cocina estaban muy bien equipados. En los dias entre semana no habia casi nadie. Las atracciones para visitar alrededor )fuertes de la época colonial española estan relativamente lejos, el mas cerca queda a 40 minutos y el mas lejos a una hora y 15. La ciudad mas grande cerca es Colon pero no recomiéndo ir o estar alli de noche.
- Alejandro (10/5): -

- Macias (10/5): Exceptional -
- Eli (5/5): Beautiful resort - Nice place Not very helpful host
- Richard (8/5): Nice resort, restaurant not open early enough but food was excellent. - Private and felt safe. Shower got hot and cold and unable to control. Sliding door did not lock so I was concerned about leaving important items in the room.
The booking indicated sea view room but our balcony overlooked drive/road.
- Alejandro (8/5): Very good -
- Jason (10/5): Exceptional -

- Alan (10/5): Exceptional -
- Cesar (10/5): Exceptional -
- Alejandro (10/5): It was lovely over all. - No breakfast available at the resource Internet connection was a problem.
- Anonymous (9/5): Superb -
- Ni (8/5): All in all although we enjoyed our time at the property and would consider staying again. The salon is also a nice to ha - We liked the convenience of the property. Found it to be very pretty and our accommodations were very clean and well stocked. Also we liked that it was pet friendly. Our parking spot was hard to find. We booked 2 adults in error instead of 4 even though the apartment was for 6 people and the host tried to charge us more after it was booked when in fact it was a flat price. I own a property in Playa Venao. The price does not change based on the number of people staying in the villa. That was unnerving to say the least and inappropriate. We found the noise on the beach loud music etc also to be a problem. Also during the week you can’t order breakfast. Lastly we recommend that the store stay open until 9 pm.
- Michelle (9/5): Superb - Spectacular location, resort's overall cleanliness, amenities and beach (we had a block of beach for ourselves as we went from Thursday to Friday), with amazing crystal clear water and white sand. Perfection! Apartment is really spaceful, clean and nicely decorated.
Lunch & dinner options in the resort's restaurant are great! 1. The page says check-in time as from 2:00 pm, but we got a message day before from the administrator saying we could only go into the apartment as from 3:00 pm, although common areas could already be used as from 2:00 pm.
2. At 3:00 pm cleaning lady was still in the apartment and a bit behind with drying some towels, so we just told her to leave them in the dryer.
3. In the kitchen there was no towel paper, kitchen towels to dry hands, clean around, etc., nor a trash can as such, which are things this type of rentals typically have. So we had to use toilet paper for everything and just grab a trash bag and hang it somewhere. We suggest they get this basic stuff, not everyone (especially foreigners) have these things at hand.
4. Wifi code & PW were not available in the apartment. I myself had no wifi since I come from abroad and had to figure out how to contact the apartment's administrator and ask him to send us the wifi code & PW.
5. There's no local or satelite TV channels, so TV could only be used with apps (Netflix, YouTube, Disney +, etc.) for which of course you need to have your own account, otherwise no TV, just YouTube.
6. Apartment has view to houses in the back and far nature, so it's not 'beach front/view'; that's not clear from the picture and it's not stated in the description.
