Great location a few blocks off the main drag which kept it quiet at night. Lovely view from rooms: mix of hostel and hotel. Breakfast is fruit, toast and weak coffee on the roof…. Just enough to get you started. Looks like you can keep your own food in the small communal kitchen on the roof also. Small pool only has 4 loungers, so stake your claim if that’s your plan :)

I loved that it was just a block away from the Main Street at La Punta, just overall great great great location. Some previous reviews mention a steep heel but honestly it's not that bad at all. The pool was a cute amenity. Would definitely stay here again.

Great value, staff & perfectly located

Honestly, great value. My room was huge, with AC, a great balcony with a hamac, and this outdoor-yet-private bathroom with a bath overviewing the ocean. Pool, rooftop, very friendly & knowledgeable staff. Extremely well located in the good part of Puerto Escondido. All restaurants 2min away. Hotel location is extremely quiet.

Amazing view from balcony

I only stayed for one night. The view from my balcony was amazing. Chilling in the hammack while watching the sunset was a magic moment. AC was good and there was also a fan, which was enough for me Note however that the room and bathroom are super small. Im glad I was solo. It would be too small for me if we were 2.

Just a few blocks from Main Street in PE, but there is a steep hill that in which we didn’t mind. Hot water wasn’t always available but due to humid weather wasn’t too bad taking colder showers

Not for seniors

The boutique hotel is new and in good condition, I would not recommend to for seniors a lot of steps to go up and down. Zicatela is more for young people who like to surf. Nazareth was wonderful. The room lacks of little details of comfort.

Acabamos de terminar nuestra estadía y fue excelente. El ambiente es cálido y el staff siempre amable, atentos y con una sonrisa, lo que nos hizo sentir súper cómodos. La alberca está perfecta y la habitación muy cómoda. Un punto a destacar: nuestra habitación tenía aire acondicionado y ventilador de techo, lo cual fue clave para dormir frescos por las noches. La vista al mar es increíble, y todo está cerca: restaurantes deliciosos y una playa muy limpia. El desayuno también fue excelente, siempre con fruta fresca y una vista hermosa desde la terraza. Además, siempre hubo agua caliente, buenos amenities (jabón, shampoo, acondicionador) y un internet muy rápido. Sin duda, un lugar al que queremos volver. Nota: El número correcto es el que aparece en Google Maps

Es un hotel muy cálido, te reciben como en casa y es un lugar muy tranquilo, la habitacion en la que nos quedamos tenía una vista hermosa al mar y una tina de hidromasaje privada en la terraza. Las áreas comunes estan en perfecto estado siempre y se mantiene un ambiente tranquilo de convivencia. Definitivamente un excelente lugar de descanso. No tiene restaurant como tal pero de 8 a 11 am sirven un desayuno y a partir de las 11:00am puedes hacer uso de la cocina para preparar lo que desees.
