The resort is very well maintained and offers a lot of activities, such as archery and water aerobics, if that's your thing. The air conditioning and wifi work great in the rooms. The French restaurant is by far the best among its Italian, Mexican and Asian competition. A nice escape from the typical tourist traps of Cabo and Cancun. About a 20 minute drive to/from the airport. Inquire about shuttle services offered by the resort to avoid a long line for a taxi upon landing.

Out of all the restaurants, 3 are very good. Starting at No.1 is Tamarind. Excellent Oaxacan (Mexican) food, excellent vibe, beautiful decor and feels welcoming. No.2 Castaways. Beautiful ocean view, food is good (seafood) and the staff is friendly. No.3 Spice; food is good, teppanyaki is great, staff is very friendly and is fun. The beach is amazing, almost a virgin spot, the sand is a little rough but is such an amazing place. Room service is very good, I highly recommend it. The Spa, Jesus Christ, what an amazing experience, you can't miss it. The best massages I've had. Believe me, it's one of a kind. Down side of this place, some of the restaurants are straight out bad. Cin Cin (Italian) was just awful. Worst Italian food I've had in my life. Marketplace (at lunch time) was also pretty bad. I have to say, this place for breakfast is pretty good. All and all, is a great place I would definitely come back, having in mind what places are good and what are bad.

This review is for my recent trip taken In November of 2018…read more I am avid traveler and been to just about every place in Mexico. I had always heard about Puerto Escondido (my parents visited in 1995) and so I was intrigued. I decided to rent a villa with an ocean view for my parents and I for a period of a week.. This place and its access to the somewhat 'private beach' was incredibly nice. Our experience and time here was above and beyond our expectations. The on site-maintenance staff and daily housekeeping did an excellent job; and the front desk, working as Concierge, came through, as I treated my mom to a massage. Maria arrived as scheduled and made my mom's time extra special! The on site restaurant, Espadin, give this place an extra touch. Incredible views with delicious food! Looking forward to coming here again, as Puerto Escondido has become my favorite destination in Mexico.

In turn, this place is rustic. Overall, the best part here was probably the breakfast. Delicious yogurt with fruit and granola and homemade toast with homemade jam. The coffee is Finca las Nieves, which the lobby sells ground or you can buy whole beans around the corner at the Finca's storefront. Sidenote: Oaxaca is one of Mexico's 3 out of 32 top producing coffee states, so coffee in Oaxaca should be good no matter where you go but that's not always the case. The rooms felt clean and the beds are comfortable. The front desk was very friendly and called cabs for us (there is no Uber in Puerto Escondido as of this review). There were always clean towels available at the lobby. The AC and WiFi worked great but someone else from my party staying in a different room complained about their AC. My only real gripe is the out of control bugs by the pool, which seemed to leave me alone so long as I was in the pool. If I was on the lounge chair, I was getting eaten for lunch, so be sure to bring or buy bug spray if you stay here.

This place is the genuine article. Real authentic Mexico through and through. Puerto Escondido, unlike many Mexican beach towns, has forbade the construction of the sprawling resorts; the monstrosities that have ruined the Yucatán peninsula and Costa Rica. They have passed Federal preservation laws to protect its shoreline and quaint village roots. This was one of two hotels I stayed in and I will post a review of the other shortly. If you want to relax and immerse yourself in the México of 40 years ago, give this gem a try.

I can't even begin to describe this place! I don't think I could do it justice…read more However, I will do my best ;) First of all, this place is called "hotel rainbow" in Spanish just FYI so you don't have to google it ;) It's a older hotel with incredible architecture. It's looks like a old Spanish mansion built in the side of the cliff facing the ocean & beach. It's very beautiful & has the most incredible jungle garden growing around it with all these concrete steps going up & down and around, like a Spanish fortress or castle. Of course I LOVE it! Arrrrr! lol Looking at it at night, you would think sometime in the night, a pirate ship is going to anchor off shore, and in the moonlight, Zorro & all his pirate kin are going to swim ashore & attack with swords a blazing! LOL I had rented a casita for a month in La Punta, and it was amazing! However, I wanted to stay a couple more weeks bc I was having so much fun & wanted to check this place out, be able to walk back to my hotel room from the bars. I heard that there was a room at the top that you had to climb 5 flights of stairs to get to but, had the most amazing views of the ocean. Well they were right doubly so. The stairs are a bitch & the views are the BOMB! LOL :)) The rooms are simple, nothing fancy or anything, however the beds were super comfy, the ac was cold, showers were giant, the balcony was huge with hammocks & the restaurant on site was very good. There is also a little coffee shop at the entrance to the hotel in a tiny building that is superb. There is no room service up to the top, up the five flights of stairs, you have to go to the restaurant & climb back up with morning breakfast/coffee if you want it in your room & your staying in the top. I made hubby go get the breakfast, especially when he was hung over lol. This hotel is perfectly located in party central on Zicatela beach. Its literally right in the middle of the beach in walking distance to EVERYTHING. It's where all the bars & nightclubs are located. So if your staying on the ground floor/lower floors the noise might be a problem. On the weekends it goes on & on into the wee morning hours. We didn't hear any of that bc we were on the very top ;) The problem was trying to climb 5 flights of stairs at 4am drunk off your ass! LOL :)) The pool is also YUGE & deep! The only deep pool I found in Puerto Escondido. It was amazing, we spent a lot of time in the pool. The first couple days the stairs kicked our ass after about the 5th day we slayed it like Zorro! Arrrr! If your up for climbing 5 flights in the heat daily the top is phenomenal. Even though I thought I was going to pass out a couple times, the views alone are worth it. I'm also pretty sure you can kick back & relax on the 3rd & 4th floors in this unique hotel. We got to know the maids a little while we were there & they let us look in a few vacant rooms, the views were also amazing from the 3rd & 4th floors. However, beware of the ground floor rooms if you are sensitive to noise. There was a very rowdy Piñata pool party that was going on while we were there with outdoor BBQ's & people drinking beer at the pool. The next day there were a couple chicks still asleep by the pool. There was also a LGBT convention/party that took over the last weekend we were there, it was fully booked! Craziest weekend EVER! LOL :)) I would def stay up top again on the 5th floor, we had a blast at Hotel Arcoiris, we totally dig it! Arrrr! Can't wait to return!

Although the shower didn't have hot water, we didn't complain because the cold water felt good. The price isn't bad but the free breakfast doesn't have much variety besides eggs, fruit and coffee. The views aren't bad either. The location is pretty centric to all the restaurants and bars at Zicatela beach. Not bad for the price but don't expect a resort type feel. The pool is pretty basic.
