Wonderful hotel with incredible views from the suite loved it! Relaxing in the swimming pool and hammock was such a delight. The ocean, views, birds singing is so enjoyable and relaxing wow! The staff is super friendly and helpful. Just keep in mind, if you want anything extra, you'll have to pay for it. We tried some of the breakfast food it was just okay. You can definitely find something better outside, but be warned... it's super hot out there and there's no AC!

Mixed feelings

The setting of the property is stunning, as is the pool and the GM, Salomon, was very friendly and helpful. Overall you can definitely feel the age of the property, a lot of wear and tear especially in the room. We definitely felt it was overpriced. Ate at the restaurant a couple times, for breakfast it was fine but lunch and dinner are way overpriced for what you get. Its walking distance to town which was good. Mixed feelings, definitely not a bad stay but wasn’t blown away.

Excelent hotel, 5 min walk to 2 different beaches. Rent an ATV and you are set! Very quiet. Salomon (Manager) and Victor are an asset to making this hotel a special place. They add you to whatsapp messenger and everything you need you get at a blink of an eye. We booked a special dinner and it was above and beyond my expectations!

What a spot! We splurged on the master suite for 1 night and it was well worth it. The view was spectacular, the room excellent, the restaurant top, top quality and the private pool divine. Manager Solomon was kind and courteous and helped make our stay memorable. Highly recommended for a special night or 2! Tips: we brought champagne but they only had plastic glasses because of the pool so maybe bring your own. There is a little tienda right at the foot of their driveway for budget water and snacks.

A Beautiful Sanctuary

It’s a beautiful sanctuary in a dramatic setting. The rooms are unique and very comfortable. We enjoyed the quiet and privacy. The host is extremely welcoming.Food at the restaurant is outstanding. It’s a considerable walk down to the beach but once there it is amazing. After a hot day it was great to refresh in the infinity pool overlooking the ocean. We wished that the internet was a bit better. Finished on the outside of the cabana we stayed in need a bit of a refresh as does the pool.

This was an incredible experience. Zoa was very attentive to all of my questions prior to our getaway; they made me feel secure, welcome, and excited about choosing them. Solomon and Victor are fantastic; they reached out a day before our arrival to make sure all of the questions were answered. They sent us menus, maps, and so much more. The property itself is stunning, and I loved being onsite. The food is absolutely delicious; I wanted to eat all my meals thereafter I tried the first dish. They prepared a romantic anniversary dinner for my husband and me on the terrace overlooking the ocean. I can't say enough about Zoa, I can't wait to go back.

Funny story about how we ended up here. My partner and I had booked an Airbnb in Mazunte (Casa Indy) ready to go, however “I” booked the flight a day earlier by mistake. that’s on me and I take full ownership for this. As a result, I really wanted to make this extra day really special. I figured a 5star hotel would make up for it. It did! I saved the extra day. This place was romantic for so many reasons. 1. Not a lot of people. 2. No kids 3. Quite places to be in love 4. The views 5. The sun rise and sun set 6. The food 7. The room, the room with everything yummy, spicy and delicious. 8. The private inclosed yard to have room service in. 9. Wales, we could see whales in the ocean from our room laying in bed. 10. The experience. The things that I wish were better but not by the fault of the hotel. When I looked at the pictures I noticed a beautiful bathtub. I even brought special bubble bath to enjoy said bathtub. Mazunte is going through a severe drought and it’s recommended to conserve water. Although this was a shot in the heart for my relaxation, I understood and complied. Also, bugs, be ready and they can’t be avoided. Some small things to look over, you are brave and strong, what’s one big giant spider that your loved one can take care of. This place makes the heart love and the passion ignite. The views, the experience, having your own private beach, the food, the romance. Ugh… it’s a no brainer.

I cannot wait to go back! I enjoyed the fact that the hotel was really a grouping (of 7 or so) bungalows. The one we stayed in was high on the cliff with a view of the ocean, shoreline, and rocks below. Absolutely unreal! The staff was incredibly friendly, the food was delicious, and there were few other guests. I have rented villas on vacation several times, and this is a very similar feeling without the cost or prep. I wouldn't recommend this place though if you have difficulty walking (there are dozens and dozens of stairs), are allergic to cats (there are a few patrolling the grounds), or find staying at a resort on Waikiki your jam (this is the opposite, and much more beautiful/nice).
