Reviews and Ratings
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The room was tired but spacious, featuring a small Juliet balcony and an ocean view. However, the noise from neighboring aircon compressors was a bit bothersome. The service, while not as welcoming as I would have liked, was friendly and helpful. The location was amazing, close to great restaurants and bars, making it an ideal base to explore Puerto Escondido. The dining experience was wonderful but expensive, with a lovely setting to enjoy a meal. Overall, a decent stay with some ups and downs.

The service is top-notch, with hospitable staff dressed in lovely local dresses. Located directly across from Zicatela beach, the hotel offers a fantastic experience, although it may not be ideal for casual sunbathers. Dining options include seafood, fruit, and breakfasts in a pleasant setting with a cool breeze. The facilities are well-equipped and maintained, making for a comfortable stay.

I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms were spacious, modern, and kept very clean, although a bit dark, but overall very comfortable. The service was top-notch, with staff dressed in lovely local attire and always going above and beyond to assist us.

The dining options were fantastic, offering a variety of delicious tapas, though a bit pricey. The facilities were excellent, with great amenities and a serene atmosphere.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of comfort and brightness. The rooms were very cozy and the pool area was great, but the brightness from the security light was a bit too much for my liking.
This hotel is a hidden gem right across Playa Zicatela, offering a perfect location for beach lovers. While the rooms may feel a bit tired and lacking some amenities like a safe or a hairdryer, they are nicely decorated, super comfortable, and feature incredibly cozy beds. The service was a mix of amazing helpfulness and occasional lack of friendliness. The dining experience ranges from very good with many choices to somewhat disappointing in certain areas, but the seafood options are delightful. The hotel's facilities, including the pool area, are well-maintained and provide a great place to relax. Overall, it's a wonderful pick for those seeking a peaceful spot steps away from the vibrant Zicatela beach.
