Frequently asked questions

Which area of Puerto Escondido is best to stay in for cheap hotels?
For budget-conscious solo travellers seeking cheap hotels in Puerto Escondido, neighbourhoods like La Punta and Rinconada offer excellent value, combining affordability with a relaxed atmosphere. These areas are well-connected and provide a good base for exploring the town.

La Punta is particularly popular with solo travellers due to its vibrant yet laid-back vibe, offering a range of hostels and guesthouses. It's known for its surf culture and provides easy access to the beach, with many affordable eateries serving local cuisine. The main street is easily walkable and often features live music in the evenings, creating a pleasant social environment without being overly expensive.

Rinconada, on the other hand, presents a quieter, more residential option, great for those who prefer a tranquil setting while still being close to amenities. Here, you'll find a selection of budget-friendly hotels and guesthouses, often with small pools or communal areas that are ideal for solo travellers to unwind. It's just a short walk to Playa Carrizalillo, a beautiful coved beach, and the main road offers a good selection of casual dining spots and small shops.
When is the most affordable time to visit Puerto Escondido?
Visiting Puerto Escondido is most affordable during the low season, which generally runs from May to November, outside of the peak holiday periods. This time of year offers significant savings on accommodation and activities, as demand is lower.

Solo travellers will find that prices for hostels and guesthouses are considerably reduced, making it easier to extend their stay or allocate more funds to experiences. While it's the rainy season, showers are often brief and intense, typically occurring in the late afternoon or overnight, leaving plenty of sunshine for morning activities. The ocean is still warm, and the waves for surfing can be excellent, particularly from June to September.

For couples, travelling in the shoulder months of May, June, October, and November can be particularly advantageous. You'll often find better deals on boutique hotels and private rentals, and the beaches, such as Playa Carrizalillo and Playa Zicatela, are less crowded, offering a more tranquil experience.
Is Puerto Escondido a budget-friendly destination?
Yes, Puerto Escondido is a remarkably budget-friendly destination, especially for those looking to enjoy stunning beaches and a relaxed atmosphere without breaking the bank.

Accommodation options are varied and generally affordable. Solo travellers can find numerous hostels with dormitory beds or private rooms at very reasonable prices, particularly in areas like La Punta or around Playa Zicatela. For couples, guesthouses and smaller hotels offer comfortable stays for significantly less than in many other coastal towns.

Getting around is also inexpensive; local taxis and 'colectivos' (shared taxis) are readily available and charge minimal fares. Much of the town is also easily explored on foot, particularly the main beaches and dining areas. Many of Puerto Escondido's main attractions are free, including enjoying the beautiful beaches like Playa Carrizalillo or Playa Bacocho, watching the surfers at Zicatela, or simply soaking up the vibrant setting.

Dining is a highlight for budget travellers. Fresh, delicious, and incredibly affordable food is available everywhere, from street food stalls selling tacos and quesadillas to casual beachfront restaurants offering seafood.
What free activities should we do in Puerto Escondido?
For solo travellers looking to enjoy Puerto Escondido without spending a fortune, there's a wealth of free activities to experience. The town's natural beauty and vibrant setting provide ample opportunities for exploration and relaxation without opening your wallet.

Start your day by embracing the rhythm of the ocean; solo travellers can easily spend hours strolling along the picturesque coastline, from the lively Zicatela Beach, famous for its surf, to the more tranquil shores of Playa Carrizalillo and Playa Puerto Angelito, superb for a peaceful morning walk or simply soaking up the sun. Catching a mesmerising sunset from any of these beaches is a daily ritual for many, offering stunning views completely free of charge.

Another fantastic free activity is exploring the local markets. The Benito Juárez Market, a bustling hub, provides a vibrant insight into daily life, offering a chance to browse local produce, crafts, and street food. While you might be tempted to buy, simply wandering through and soaking in the sights, sounds, and smells is an experience in itself.
Can I cancel my budget hotel reservation on Expedia?
Many Expedia hotel reservations are refundable, provided that you cancel before the hotel's cancellation deadline. This is often within 24-48 hours of your scheduled arrival. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. For maximum flexibility, use Expedia's "Fully refundable property" filter during your search to find the right budget hotel in Puerto Escondido for you.
