Suites La Hacienda

We had a great stay here! The apartment was beautiful - spacious, clean and had everything we needed. It was cleaned daily, which was such a nice bonus. The staff were all super friendly and helpful, always happy to answer questions or offer tips about the area. The garden around the pool is absolutely stunning. It honestly feels like you’re in the middle of a jungle. Such a peaceful place to relax after a day out. The location is great, just a short walk to the best beach for beginner surfers, and close to some amazing restaurants. The whole area feels really safe and welcoming. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a relaxing and well-located place to stay!

Beautiful hotel with a great pool and location. Would have rated higher but our room (number 2) did not have hot water and the staff more or less said "that's how it is" and were completely disinterested in fixing it. The other rooms did have hot water after asking around. The roof leaks in several places when it rains too.

We absolutely loved our stay at Suites la Hacienda! Philippe and his crew provided a welcoming home in Puerto Escondido. The hotel is ideally, a short walk to beautiful beaches (which are swimmable) and amazing restaurants (favourite was El Nene for fresh fish), whilst avoiding the more built-up strip at Playa Zicatela). The rooms are clean, spacious, and comfortable (we stayed in two as we extended our stay - both were excellent and had all amenities). We are normally beach-goers but happily spent many hours by the pool and beautiful garden, hiding during the hottest times of the day. Amazing cocktails and coffee arhe available as well as breakfast and any other wishes one has. Truly a relaxing and refreshing place to charge your batteries. Five stars 🌟!

Wonderful property and service! The grounds are just beautifully landscaped and inviting. The pool was nice and warm and clean for swimming, and not overcrowded. The room and bathroom were spotless and the bed comfortable. Staff were very helpful across the board. The property is in a quiet area, about a 10 minute walk to the beach and only about 5 minutes to a host of restaurants and cafes. The big surfing beach is on the other side of town, about a 10 minute taxi or Didi ride. We would definitely stay here again.

We had a wonderful four night stay here in late April. The gardens are incredible, tended by multiple folks throughout the day and night! Our breakfast was inexpensive and delicious, huge portions. The pool was crystal clear and clean, and the staff was super friendly.

We loved our stay at suites La Hacienda. It is a small hotel with a beautiful garden that has been lovingly put together. When we were there, the week before Christmas, it was lovely and quiet. We enjoyed sitting by the pool, swimming and lazing in the sunshine in the hammock. The staff and the owners were very friendly and helpful. We had breakfast there twice and it was better than anywhere else we went. ||The hotel is well located. It’s a shortish walk to a nice beach and a busy area with shops and restaurants. We got around on foot and by taxis and it was very easy and inexpensive. Puerto Escondido is very spread out along various beaches. ||The hotel recommended a very good company for whale watching and we found an excellent tour for bird watching with Lalo Eco tours. We would certainly stay there again if we ever go back to Puerto Escondido.|Just a couple of minutes walk there is a yoga studios (I didn’t manage to get there) and also a salsa school where I joined a class on two evenings and they were very welcoming and great fun.

Suites La Hacienda||An oasis of charm, calm & beauty set on the slopes of Riconada around 500 yards from a strip trip of restaurants , a bakery, pharmacies and dive shops ….|The charming old but modern style villa sits in a beautiful garden of trees and flowers and a good sized pool . There are lots of parasols and sunbeds around the pool and it is lit with an abundance of fairy lights in the evening . Separate pool towels are provided and can be changed regularly but please remember ro think about the environmental impact.||The large rooms are very modern with king sized beds, a range of furnishings , a modern shower room and I believe most have a Kitchenette with a fridge, hob a range of utensils and saucepans .||There is a safe in each room and I believe most rooms have balconies and/ or terraces . La Havienda is all in all a supreme effigy of the word Boutique and well deserves its 4 star rating . The rooms are cleaned daily with towels being changed , bedding refreshed and small shower / shampoo toiletries provided . Sol and her team are excellent . Please remember to tip them ! On arrival she organised all of my toiletries and make up into different baskets ! That was a first. I also benefitted from a small private pool however it was cold and I didn’t use it. ||There is a bar which sits perfectly next to the pool area and the bar man is fabulous though the drinks are a little pricey. The reception is manned from 8 am until 10 pm and so you should take care not to lose your keys . ||In terms of location, La Hacienda sits on a slope 500 metres from the ‘High Street’ where you will find a few very good restaurants ( see my separate reviews but Turtle Bay and Nenes are very good ). El ToloLote and Fauna are great for breakfast . The much talked about Michelin restaurant , Almoraduz is average in my opinion. Costs of eating plus a drink range from 200 pesos to 1,000 at some of the more expensive ones .||There is a fantastic bakery ( Dulce’s) just along the strip , along with Soltans and Papi’s serving good local and Middle Eastern fayre.||Also worth visiting is Plaza Chilete. Turn left outside La Hacienda, take the first right and then left at the bottom and you will come to it. This is a super food hall containing 5-6 outdoor restaurants and a bar. The German stall and Thai eateries are notable . All the food is prepared fresh in front of you , is delicious and extremely good value . You can eat and have a drink for around 300 pesos .||The closest beaches are Carizillo and Bacocho. Carizillo is a gorgeous cove which sits at the bottom of a steep climb with around 200 steps . It is great for surfers . There are a few eateries and it costs around 500 pesos for 2 beds ( even if you are solo). ||Bacocho beach is also around a 15 minute walk and is stunning - and everything you would expect. It is however wide and exposed and there are only a couple of places to hire beds. The water is rough with a strong undercurrent - and generally the sea is not suitable for children and only the strongest of swimmers. ||If you do have children I recommend Angelite - around a 20 minute walk from La Hacienda . It is sheltered and there isn’t the current .||If you want to wonder further then take a taxi to either La Punta (150 ish pesos ) or Ziccatella (70-100 peso). Both are wonderful , beautiful wide exposed beaches but again the sea is powerful .||Zicatella beach is adorned with restaurants and shops and is Il Centro . It is the party place to be after 10 pm .||La Punta is a back packers paradise - the beach is gorgeous and is popular with locals, families, backpackers and surfers . It is a great place to watch the sunset and there is a strip of restaurants , outdoor food stalls where you can eat just about anything. There are some seriously good taco places .||La Hacienda is rated a 4 star and well deserves this . It is a gorgeous , safe and relaxing place to stay . It is boutique so you get to know the staff and it would be lovely of people could remember to tip the cleaners and gardeners . The average daily rate for staff locally can be as little as 200 pesos .||Suggestions || 1. Place a dirty towel bin and rubbish bin around the pool and;| 2. Consider security on reception until midnight . It would be of concern to me if I was there alone . There also needs to be an emergency number if we lose our keys or are robbed ||I have no hesitation recommending La Hacienda . It was truly a wonderful place to stay and I would definitely return .

I’d come back here and recommend it to anyone. It’s a great hotel with helpful staff in a great location, close to the main strip but not close enough to hear noise from the restaurants or cars. You’re also close to Centro if you wanted to walk over for more affordable food. The rooms are very nice, especially the bathrooms, though the water pressure in the shower is low. I will say our room wasn’t soundproof. There was no noise at night but in the mornings around 8 we started hearing noise from other guests. The room didn’t get 100% dark at night but it was dark enough. Air conditioning worked great and the bed was comfortable! The best part of this hotel is the pool and property itself, it’s stunning. You’ll want to hang out there all day. Last thing I’ll say is that there were nice little details, for example the front desk had a basket of sunscreen, bug spray, etcetera for guests, and there was an outdoor drying rack for each room for bathing suits and towels! They also provide unlimited filtered water and there’s a fridge for it which is amazing.
