This is a prefect place to bring children. There are shady huts beside a calm beach in a protected cove. Your older ones can rent surf boards at neighbouring Playa Venao while the little ones dabble in the shallows of La Playita. We stayed in one of the new rooms in the lodge still under construction. Pros: spacious lovely rooms... More

We were steered toward La Playita by the owners of a B&B in Panama City who told us it was where they would take their grandchildren when visiting Panama. They were so right! We traveled to the Pedasi area in March 2012 with our 8 and 5 year old "animal and beach loving" children. La Playita delivered in both areas.... More

If you love nature and if you have dreamed of a place to get away from it all.... this is the spot. Don't expect room service or all the regular hotel amenities, maybe sometime in the future. This is a place to "upscale" rough-it and live with nature around you. The room are very artistic and a lot of construction... More

We just spent 3 nights at La Playita Resort. The location on the ocean is beautiful and they are in the process of building new rooms. But now for $99 per night (only cash accepted) the room has no hot water, TV, Wifi, telephone, housekeeping. We got only two towels for the three night stay, no hand towel, water glass,... More

We go to Panama fairly often since my husband is fron there. This was my fifth time in Panama and my time at La... More
