This is a truly lovely hotel that manages to feel intimate while offering excellent infrastructure. The standout features for me were the charming gardens and the delightful pool. The pool, approximately 18 meters in length, is also very suitable for swimming. The garden provides plenty of relaxation options, including sun beds and tables, with ample shade—a must in the hot climate of Puerto Escondido. Birdwatchers will also appreciate the variety of birds that can be observed in the gardens.
I stayed in one of their smallest and most economical studios, which was perfect for a solo traveler. Unfortunately, it was only available for two nights—I wish I could have stayed longer. Most of their accommodations are larger and uniquely designed. The built-in kitchens are really well-equipped and truly suitable for cooking, a feature that many other hotels with so-called "kitchenettes" could learn from.
The hotel offers a range of included activities, such as free morning yoga, aqua fitness, and occasional gatherings. Complimentary morning coffee and abundant drinking water are available throughout the property. The on-site restaurant is ideal for breakfast and offers very fair prices, especially considering the lovely setting.
My room was very comfortable, featuring both a good fan and air conditioning, a cozy balcony, and a comfortable bed. I slept very well, and for Mexican standards, it was quite quiet at night. There were some very minor maintenance issues, but nothing significant.
While prices might appear to be on the higher side, the additional benefits like yoga make it absolutely worth it if you use them.
As a neutral observation, it's worth noting that most guests here appear to be retired Canadians or Americans who visit frequently and stay for extended periods, along with the occasional family or couple.
Additionally, the hotel is very pet-friendly, which some guests will appreciate, while others might find it less appealing. The property appears to be entirely smoke-free (incl. outdoor areas), which I personally appreciated, though it might come as a surprise to others.
The staff was exceptionally friendly and genuinely cares about their guests.
Location is a 3 min walk away from the beach and close to many restaurants.
