Beautiful space and hotel in a quiet corner of Zipolite. The staff were attentive and friendly, the room was spacious and comfortable, the food was excellent, and the ocean views are unbeatable. Can't wait to go back.

The best vacation we’ve ever had. Amazing hotel, best people (specially Lucy, she looked after our room, so organized and tidy, very creative). The restaurant staff are also incredible. The hotel location, well maintained and has a great vibe
Beautiful pool to cool off in the afternoons. The staff so very friendly and accommodating. The suite was wonderful, amazing view. The food was very good. Pretty Thai inspired spa. Good 2 hour massage. Friday night they had a sax player and a free fire show. Can sit in many places for food and drink. Excellent location. Will return for sure.

Great location, nice vibe, quietness. Staff is really friendly a d helpfull. Wondefull view from the rooms.
At night the restaurant is full of candles with cozy and romantic touch
This place is your secret vacation hideaway, and I would change nothing about it. Be sure to visit Juli and Oli at the restaurant. They are superstars in the perfect setting. Never wanted to leave and am planning my next visit while writing this. Absolutely perfect people! Great job!
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.
This is by far the nicest place in zipolite by far. I have been there several times the restaurant is fantastic. And they open early. However they need to modernize some Areas. My first room was unacceptable and they provided another
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!
The room was simple, but perfect, facing the sunrise, yet still protected from the direct rays of the sun by the beautiful vegetation on the hotel property. We will be back here in 2024.
