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.
This hotel is a dream come true for those who love old colonial-style charm, with rooms of a good size, Mexican decoration, and terraces. 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 loved the hotel's location, right on Zicatela beach, offering stunning sea views and easy access to nearby attractions. The rooms were kept very clean and comfortable, although a bit dark compared to some. The service was top-notch, with incredibly friendly and accommodating staff. The dining options were varied and delicious, especially the seafood and breakfast selections.
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 location was just perfect, right across from Playa Zicatela, offering stunning sea views and a gorgeous veranda to watch the sunset with a cocktail. 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.
I had a wonderful time staying at this hotel. The rooms were clean and comfortable, the staff was very friendly, and the location was perfect. However, the dining experience was a bit expensive. The facilities were top-notch, making my stay enjoyable and relaxing.
