Puerto Escondido hotels near Zicatela Beach

Pros: The staff at Casamar were incredibly friendly and helpful during our stay! The atmosphere of the entire place is down to earth and very comfortable. Location was perfect for what we were looking for - only a short taxi ride into town yet still enough shops and restaurants within walking distance to enjoy during our week-long visit, and the beach was only about 300 meters away. We very much enjoyed our stay and would certainly book with them again for our next visit to Puerto Escondido.

Pros: Location

Cons: The bathroom location

Pros: Staff were reasonably friendly

Cons: Room advertised as “apartment” but we were in a tiny room next to a toilet. No privacy - blinds did not cover our windows properly so everyone could see in. The pool was unclean and hardly any facilities. Very expensive cost for one room - $50 per night for a teeny room with no bathroom.

Pros: super friendly! Ping pong table is a bonus! Really nice stay!

Pros: I love everything.

Cons: I love everything.

Pros: It’s private, it is like an appartment complex. Beautiful garden is surrounding the common area, however the pool is really dirty. So that would be my only tip to casamar, clean the pool everyday. There was a lot of stuff floating around and the water was green.The staff is really friendly and helpful! The apartments are spacious and comfortable.

Cons: The dirty pool

Pros: We loved the entire place, and all the staff here is very friendly.

Cons: The place was excellent, but far from places due to the location.

Pros: Loved the cute apartment we had. Very comfortable....nice Mexican touches.

Cons: The road getting there could certainly use some maintenance.

Pros: The building and all facilities were excellent, I have stayed at 5 stars across the world and the simplicity of this property met all expectations.

Cons: would be ideal to have fridges in rooms and a few ice machines. was very very quiet so limited options, more of an apartment like feel rather than a hotel.

Pros: The staff was great. The rooftop pool was really really nice!!

Cons: No fridge in room.

Pros: The hotel is spotlessly clean; the air conditioning and wifi worked fine; the rooftop pool was delightful, and we very much enjoyed the 10 minute walk to Zicatela - and the proximity to Punta. We also very much enjoyed the ocean view of our room. We had our daughter and 3 year old grandson join us at the pool a couple of times - and the small wading area next to the pool was a big hit!

Cons: The hot water was not reliable, which was disappointing. However - what really bothered us, though, was the fact that the ONLY English-language TV channels were all Fox News channels. While we appreciate that the owner or manager have the right to their own political views, there should be at least one channel (CNN, MSNBC, BBC, Al Jazeera… ANY other) that does not spew out Donald Trump propaganda; it tainted our enjoyment of Mexico to have Fox as our only English language option.

Pros: the pool and sunset were amazing.

Cons: takes abut 10-15 min walk to get to anything, but we knew that ahead of time.

Pros: The hotel comes with a spacious room with good A/C and a fan. The daily cleaning of the room was done in a careful and nice way. The views from the pool terrace to Zicatela beach and the sea are good.

Cons: The hotel is not located centrally in Zicatela, so it takes a 10 minute walk to get to the closest restaurants. The hotel is across the street from Zicatela beach, however no bathing is allowed or recommended there at all times because of the high waves. There are virtually no people bathing, or even sunbathing or surfing at the beach in front of the hotel. The prices at the hotel restaurant are very high for Puerto Escondido, and above all, the high prices come with rather mediocre food quality. This was a big letdown, since the hotel is not that close to other food options. The breakfast options were a disappointment size-wise and also because it took the staff about one hour to (incompletely) bring a standard breakfast to the upper floor. There is a small "bar" on the terrace, however when we were there, there was no employee present and it is apparently expected that guests place their order by phone. On the first day there were problems with the Wi-Fi, which were resolved on the following day. However, it seems that at peak times or due to other factors the Wi-Fi only works really slowly at times. The service at the reception is okay, but not always helpful. Often it is claimed that they will revert back to you later e. g. by phone, which never happens. This is not a 4-star level service in my opinion. Late check-outs are possible but charged with MXN 200 per hour. Our room was not very soundproof, which is a disadvantage in a hotel with many kids. We listened to the neighbor's TV for most of the time we were in the room.

Pros: Confortable, ideal for resting. Made for families

Cons: Doesn't really have a beach club

Pros: New hotel with great view on the Zicatela beach. Good breakfast and friendly staff. The pools on the rooftop and on the second floor were nice. It was quiet because the hotel is placed 10 minutes of the centre of Zicatela.

Cons: The rooms were smaller than shown on the website and they offer only rooms with two beds with ocean view. But both beds are too small for two people. The equipment of the rooms is very simple without any atmosphere. In the night you have to take a taxi because of the dark surroundings. Beach at the hotel is not for swimming.

Pros: The bed lights are nice . The overhead light is not so nice .

Cons: Overhead was to hard on the eyes .

Pros: The bungalows are part of the Sante Fe Hotel complex so we had use of all the hotel facilities. The staff was friendly and helpful. The hotel pools and grounds were well maintained. We enjoyed the adult only pool and lovely terrace with comfortable loungers overlooking Zicatela Beach. We had breakfast at our suite on the patio and enjoyed not rushing anywhere in the morning. The kitchen was basically equipped but sufficed and the bed was comfortable. The Sante Fe Restaurant is excellent.

Cons: The bungalow was adequate but tired. Obviously the pictures were taken when the buildings were new. The pool itself was clean but the building exterior walls are peeling and the brick had unsightly black mould. Scrubbing and repainting is required. We chose to use the hotel pool area instead. The bungalows face the road with shrubs and fence barrier but the traffic noise was loud.

Pros: The location, its clean

Cons: I think the price was high

Pros: excellent service staff always friendly and helpful!!

Cons: swimming pool wasn’t clean some of the steps where missing and that was dangerous for my kid The breakfast and dining room tables were moving a lot

Pros: It's clean. Pool is ok. I liked the little balcony and view of the ocean.

Cons: It's inconceivable that a hotel of this calibre has no WiFi in the rooms! And even in the lobby, we pretty much had to be right at the Reception desk to have a decent signal. And even that was a weak signal. We had to stand at the desk in order to check emails, book a flight, book a room in Mexico City — all the things one should be able to do from your room. I've stayed at hotels — not just in Mexico, but many places — that cost half as much but still had WiFi in the guest rooms. Definitely won't stay here again. I could get better WiFi at many coffee shops in town than at this hotel!

Pros: The breakfast was good. a little pricey considering that there are too many good options around for half of the price. I liked the view from may room. The water pressure in the shower was amazing and the staff overall was friendly.

Cons: The bed sheets had a funny smell, the pool the first day when a got there (Wednesday) was clean by Friday was nasty, there was no flowing water, in fact the water was below the level of the drains around the pool, it was just sitting water that is unsanitary and unsafe. I surprised that we didn't get some kind of disease. In any other place that pool would be considered unsafe and closed right away.

Pros: The property was very very large, very isolated. More a resort. Concrete beds that did not sleep well. The remainder was ok for the money paid.

Cons: The large scale of it an poor beds

Pros: Breakfast on the terrace was amazing with a great view.

Cons: There’s no hot water.

Pros: Everything was great

Cons: I like everything i enjoy to be here

Pros: Bed was comfortable, loved the pools great for the kids, location was perfect. Would book this hotel in the future.

Cons: Our TV was not working properly not a clear image, toilet had a bad noise when flushing and the shower has a leak.

Pros: The included breakfast.

Cons: Room smelled bad. Like masking out the scent of marijuana. Curtains in the room didn't block out the light.

Pros: No

Cons: Service staff it's so poor because they want to charge more

Pros: The pool

Cons: Our room smelled of cigarette smoke, all rooms are smoking rooms. The sheets and pillows were gross, the room was so hot, the ceiling fan was running at full blast.

Pros: Amazing pool

Cons: No internet in the room, just in the reception area

Pros: Across from the bus terminal. That's all it has going for it.

Cons: Arrived at 2:00 am, due to bus delays. Had to wake up staff, spoke not a word of English.

Pros: The stuff was friendly and helpful in the best way possible with different requests I had, also was very quick in response to whatever issue I had. Very calm place, clean and organized.

Cons: I wish they would have speak English :) (but this is also in general note to my experience as a whole in Mexico as a non-Spanish speaker)....

Pros: Nothing bad location, horrible rooms. Overpriced, dump

Cons: Everything, stay away.

Cons: No AC for the money

Pros: Very attentive staff. Even the older proprietoress spoke in a way that was easy to understand.

Pros: Lovely staff and great central location

Cons: The room with no windows and the bathroom was not properly cleaned.

Cons: Place super noisy, hair in the sheets, mold in the shower. WiFi was in option ! They wanted to charge us extra for it. Avoid this place

Cons: Close to the beach. Friendly, accommodating staff. Clean rooms, well maintained.t

Pros: I like the friendly staff, the firm bed, the ceiling fan.

Cons: The toilet is old, good for one flush then you have to add water to the bowl. Ceiling and windows need paint and paint cleanup because it's what a person sees constantly. NO WiFi !! No bed sheets. Lights in outside hallway shine in all night. Needs shower and curtain rods/curtains.
