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 give it 2 stars because of the exterior and the pools. The pools are great and the hotel has a…read morebeautiful view. My kids enjoyed the pools. The negative is the room. The rooms are dirty and need a lot of maintenance. Our room had a lot of mold: the bathroom felt and looked dirty. The WiFi is horrible. There is bad reception for mobile service At&T and T-mobile. There is no fridge or microwave. They even wanted to charge us to open our bottle of wine. They charge addition $225 pesos per kid per night to stay in a small room. They charge an additional $500 pesos to check in early if available. They did live us to another room after our complaint that was a little better with less mold. Would not stay here again. I am sure there are better options.

Between 4 and 5 stars but rounding down. First: the downside is that it's not that close to the…read morebeach, and a solid 15 minute drive to Playa Zicatela. Assuming the beach is why you came to Puerto Escondido, this is maybe not a great place to stay. Now the positives: it's a paradise. The pool is lovely, there are mango trees that drop their bounty constantly, the wifi is great, there are lovely hammocks and plenty of seating. Beds are cozy. Staff is friendly. Rooftop bar is nice and prices are reasonable. I stayed here for one night before leaving for Huatulco the next day and it worked well for me because of the proximity to the bus station (about a 10 min walk). But again I doubt people are coming to PE for the bus station. A shame bc it's a lovely place to stay but I'd personally take a downgrade and stay closer to the beach.

They essentially chose another hotel and room to give me without consulting me first or allowing me the opportunity to choose whether to stay with them or not. Complete lack of transparency, communication, and respect. The room they gave me was entirely different from the one I booked. They have rated me as "moody" on Airbnb for not being happy with what they chose for me. Additionally, there were many games they were playing, including asking to refund me in cash so as not to be impacted in their ratings on Airbnb, and making up stories about illnesses as a reason for their failings (they have cancer and eye surgery and other outrageous stories). Stay away, they are no reasonable people.

When we booked online, we were attracted by pictures of the Beach Club, which you access by a hotel truck shuttle. It is a nice setting, but it could be so much better. Our group had very bad service and the food/drink quality very bad (so unusual for Mexico). There were 2 very rude bar servers, who ignored us and our group, although they had no customers at the Bar. To add to the insult, the Pino Coladas were not delivered for 40 minutes AND were very very weak. Our friends experienced the same bad quality with their Mojitos. And they were very expensive drinks! The Beach Club is owned by the Hotel, and it appears they simply want to gouge everyone for maximum profit. For the rest of the week, we went to the Palapa Bar/Restaurants at Zicatella Beach and had fabulous drinks, food, service and a great time. We won't stay at this hotel again.

Puerto Angelito is a little fishing port in Puerto Escondido, AKA, "little Angel" fishing/boat port…read morethat also has a fabulous swimming beach. The Main restaurant "Puerto Angelito" sits at the top of a steep steep cliff, like a YUGE concrete fortress with steps going down the front, right to the edge of the water, on the beach. It's quite magnificent actually. Wild, natural, not a commercialized place, no AC, outdoor toilets etc., One day I was here, I literally walked down the steps & jumped into the water with my snorkeling gear on & right there under the sea water, in reaching distance, giant sea turtles were swimming about! Scared the jaheebazees out of me. Anyhoo, it's a fantastic place. A wild, natural, gorgeous beach & a equally fabulous restaurant. There are other smaller restaurants there but this is the main one on the cliff. The best one. If you walk down from town, it's quite a hike. And quite dangerous, as it's on a cliff overlooking the ocean. There are no guard rails or safety steps on the way, your on your on so be careful getting here on foot or just take a taxi. There is a long long long concrete stairway down the cliff, but it is very straight down stairs. You can also follow the road down if the stairs are too scary for you. An "Open Air" restaurant, come as you are. In your bikini no problemo. I spent the best thanksgiving I ever had in my life here in my bikini. They served us the freshest fish! Ohhhhhhhhhhhh my gosh. BEST THANKSGIVING DINNER EVER. We had a table right at the edge of the ocean. We swam, snorkeled, drank, ate & swam & drank & ate some more, all day long, wet, in our swimsuits. THE. BEST. DAY. EVER. The local fisherman drag their boats up on the beach after a morning of fishing every day. They bring the days fresh catch straight up to the restaurant. (See pics) You can get just about any kind of seafood here, the fresh fish & the octopus are my favorite as well as the shrimp quesadilla's with the local Oaxaca cheese. They also make a fabulous hot sauce with fresh habanero that I love. They also serve beer & wine & mezcal. The owners family make their own mezcal & it's very good. We drank tons of it. Haha. Good times. I spent just about every day here at the beach for 8 months straight & I never had one bad meal. My absolutely favorite dish is their octopus Tostadas. I ate them all over Puerto Escondido also, but they make the best octopus tostadas I have ever had. Puerto Angelito's octopus tostadas are to.die.4! Big chunky Tender octopus with just the right marinade! YUM! Can't wait to get back to have a plate full of them or two, in my bikini of course hahah. FYI: There is a little oyster farm a few miles down the coast, on Fridays, the fishing boats bring fresh oysters from there, here, to Puerto Angelito & shuck them fresh for you. You can get a couple doz for about $12 USD. Very good oysters. There are no "reservations" for tables & umbrellas on the beach. If you want a good table next to the ocean for the day, get there early. It's always nice to get there early & watch the place open, the place comes alive. It fills up quickly with locals & tourist alike, children running around having a blast. Photo ops everywhere. There are also little shops full of beachy stuff to purchase if you forgot your towel, swimsuit, toys etc., Two days are never the same here but it's always epic in every way. One of my favorite places on earth, my final destination. See you soon.
