The property is very boutique and located in Zipolito known for nude beach. , bungalow type rooms, reminded me a little of Bora Bora style bungalows. The food is very good at hotel and if you want to try other food option there are local restaurants with in walking distance that offer great food at half the or less the price of hotel. If you want to try a shrimp burrito then go into the town of mazunte and stop in at the Burrito fish local.

We had a nice week long stay in February at this hotel in a basic cabin. The room was large with stained concrete floors, separate bath area (also spacious) and two private patios, though we only used the one which entered into our room since the other one was just dirt. The room was quiet with a rustic design, on the ground floor, and in a building with 3 other rooms. It was also just steps from the beach. Housekeeping was great with consistent, daily service. Our towels were replenished when we wanted and soaps and shampoos replenished as needed. We had only two meals at the restaurant, one lunch upon arrival and breakfast on the day of departure. Both were good but on the pricier side for Zipolite. Two bottles of drinking water were provided daily and a water cooler was available to fill a reusable water bottle near the Mexoni gift shop. The only two minor issues was our room did not have a coffee maker (though I think upgraded rooms may have one) and coffee at the restaurant was approximately $5 USD, a little steep in my opinion. It would be nice if all rooms had complimentary coffee/tea. My last concern was that the staff contacted me via WhatsApp App to arrange for a taxi on our day of departure a few days prior. I expressed we wished to pay by credit card and was told that would be okay. On our departure it seemed no one had made arrangements, and though we again requested to pay by credit card, the taxi that arrived would only accept cash so we had to stop at an

Absolutely gorgeous place, couldn’t recommend this place enough. I would recommend the beach side cabins, it’s gorgeous to walk out the door on to the beach, idyllic. I almost didn’t want to review this because I didn’t want more people to know about it so it doesn’t get too busy 😂

Exceeded our expectations. The view from our room was spectacular. Food and drinks from restaurant are good. Staff are respectful and nice. Has a lot of amenities to offer. If renting a car, there is free parking and they have ample spots. If taking a taxi, front desk can also arrange it for you. Nicely designed hotel. Would really recommend!
