You can't really walk around you have to take taxis everywhere. It's also the hotel with the fabulous Espadin restaurant so that is a big plus. The breakfast & coffee with the views here can't be beat. The only downside to this hotel IMO is the pool is way too small for moi. Will Return.

This place is the genuine article. Real authentic Mexico through and through. Puerto Escondido, unlike many Mexican beach towns, has forbade the construction of the sprawling resorts; the monstrosities that have ruined the Yucatán peninsula and Costa Rica. They have passed Federal preservation laws to protect its shoreline and quaint village roots. This was one of two hotels I stayed in and I will post a review of the other shortly. If you want to relax and immerse yourself in the México of 40 years ago, give this gem a try.

Our server was wonderful and even helped break our large Peso bills into small ones. After our swim we headed to the restaurant/bar and ordered beers for our room and the bartender put in a large bucket with ice and gave us an opener. Also ordered a shot of Mezcal and the best shrimp cocktail ever. 4 stars just because furniture could use an update. Hoping the rest of our visit is just as good.

I can't even begin to describe this place! I don't think I could do it justice…read more However, I will do my best ;) First of all, this place is called "hotel rainbow" in Spanish just FYI so you don't have to google it ;) It's a older hotel with incredible architecture. It's looks like a old Spanish mansion built in the side of the cliff facing the ocean & beach. It's very beautiful & has the most incredible jungle garden growing around it with all these concrete steps going up & down and around, like a Spanish fortress or castle. Of course I LOVE it! Arrrrr! lol Looking at it at night, you would think sometime in the night, a pirate ship is going to anchor off shore, and in the moonlight, Zorro & all his pirate kin are going to swim ashore & attack with swords a blazing! LOL I had rented a casita for a month in La Punta, and it was amazing! However, I wanted to stay a couple more weeks bc I was having so much fun & wanted to check this place out, be able to walk back to my hotel room from the bars. I heard that there was a room at the top that you had to climb 5 flights of stairs to get to but, had the most amazing views of the ocean. Well they were right doubly so. The stairs are a bitch & the views are the BOMB! LOL :)) The rooms are simple, nothing fancy or anything, however the beds were super comfy, the ac was cold, showers were giant, the balcony was huge with hammocks & the restaurant on site was very good. There is also a little coffee shop at the entrance to the hotel in a tiny building that is superb. There is no room service up to the top, up the five flights of stairs, you have to go to the restaurant & climb back up with morning breakfast/coffee if you want it in your room & your staying in the top. I made hubby go get the breakfast, especially when he was hung over lol. This hotel is perfectly located in party central on Zicatela beach. Its literally right in the middle of the beach in walking distance to EVERYTHING. It's where all the bars & nightclubs are located. So if your staying on the ground floor/lower floors the noise might be a problem. On the weekends it goes on & on into the wee morning hours. We didn't hear any of that bc we were on the very top ;) The problem was trying to climb 5 flights of stairs at 4am drunk off your ass! LOL :)) The pool is also YUGE & deep! The only deep pool I found in Puerto Escondido. It was amazing, we spent a lot of time in the pool. The first couple days the stairs kicked our ass after about the 5th day we slayed it like Zorro! Arrrr! If your up for climbing 5 flights in the heat daily the top is phenomenal. Even though I thought I was going to pass out a couple times, the views alone are worth it. I'm also pretty sure you can kick back & relax on the 3rd & 4th floors in this unique hotel. We got to know the maids a little while we were there & they let us look in a few vacant rooms, the views were also amazing from the 3rd & 4th floors. However, beware of the ground floor rooms if you are sensitive to noise. There was a very rowdy Piñata pool party that was going on while we were there with outdoor BBQ's & people drinking beer at the pool. The next day there were a couple chicks still asleep by the pool. There was also a LGBT convention/party that took over the last weekend we were there, it was fully booked! Craziest weekend EVER! LOL :)) I would def stay up top again on the 5th floor, we had a blast at Hotel Arcoiris, we totally dig it! Arrrr! Can't wait to return!

Although the shower didn't have hot water, we didn't complain because the cold water felt good. The price isn't bad but the free breakfast doesn't have much variety besides eggs, fruit and coffee. The views aren't bad either. The location is pretty centric to all the restaurants and bars at Zicatela beach. Not bad for the price but don't expect a resort type feel. The pool is pretty basic.
