This was such a great place to stay. I enjoyed the food spots that were nearby and also how close it was to the beach! I think this place was perfect to stay in La Punta because of its convienence and cleaniness.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.
