Azuero has become one of our favorite destinations, it combines beach and very traditional Panama in areas remote enough to lack even cell phone communications. A perfect tropical holiday just a few hours driving from Boquete.We spent two nights at the Playita Resort and Jennifer took over 700 photos and never once photographed the beach itself. This is a nature photographer’s paradise.If you are looking for the Marriot do not go to Playita, if however you are looking for a labor of love, an ecoresort that has been a fourteen year personal project this is the place to visit.The owner, Lester has built much of the resort with his own hands; the beauty craftsmanship and unique nature of the the resort show his passion for the project. Lester is a retired professional jockey from Michigan and his creation is a unique opportunity for relaxation.Upon arrival you can grab a cold beer and start looking at the blend of man and nature Lester has created.If you begin to feel like you are being watched, you probably are, not by any non existent security guards but by the local residents who live in the trees above.The howlers are leaf eaters and seem to have accomidated to the people below.
