The perfect place to relax and unwind.
The hotel beat my expectations. Great rooms, with private area and plunge pool. Superb setting. Excellent pool located on the beach and perfect for exercise swimming. (Almost 25 meters). Lots of nice little touches such as free fruit and cold water. Brilliant to see no single use plastic. Toiletries were all refills and no plastic water bottles were seen. Well done. Only issue was the dinning time. You can’t eat before 8pm on the meal plan. This is very late especially with time zone change. I felt hungry and tired every night, so this needs to be reviewed. There was no flexibility and you can see many guests sitting at the table from 19:30 waiting to get the orders for food. Service was also hit and miss depending who you got. Brush up on your Spanish. !

An absolute dream of a place. The design, location and atmosphere - all excellent. One of the best hotels I have ever stayed. If I had to think of minuses - the dinner at the hotel was a little inelegant and averagely tasting. And the other thing - they actively try to make money of you off small things. The location is very isolated ( which was great), but it makes it hard to reach shops et.c. Make sure you take sun cream, your favourite snacks and anything you might need - otherwise expect to pay.

Hotel Escondido is an absolute gem – perfect for a getaway where all you want to do is relax in a beautiful place. It's pretty far from other main beaches like Zicatela and Carrizalillo (but the beach the property is on is gorgeous (can't swim in it though bc of the strong waves). Staff is so nice and on top of it, rooms are great, and the food is yummy. Dinner is a rotating menu but we were pleasantly surprised at the variety of the mains and quality of desserts (they served garlicky fish one night and fettuccini the next). Cocktails are amaaazing and go very well with a long swim in the pool that overlooks the private beach. Def want to come back!

Location is very remote with a long secluded stretch of beach with a few small houses here and there. A great rocky portion is on one end of the beach and fun to climb and watch local fishermen. Also, the Manialtepec Lagoon is right down road, and excellent for kayaking and bird watching.

Fine. Lots of areas for improvement
Amazing hotel in terms of location and atmosphere. However, many smaller details weren't satisfactory. Given the high cost of the hotel, I did expect better service and more flexibility from the staff. The staff did not assist reservations to Casa Wabi or the hotel's Omakase restaurant (even though they promised to do so when we arrived). No laundry services available ("it's broken, sorry"). Location is amazing. So is the pool. Food is very good. There were some complaints that the bar lacked basics (like Bailey's) but that wasn't a big deal for us. Overall this is an excellent place to stay, just keep your expectations in check.

The property is located about a mile of the main road. Making it a very quiet place. all of the guest accommodations are thatched roof stand alone cottages. The staff were very nice. Do watch out for couple of things. A: Check the bills that one signs for things like drinks, food etc. Got charged for cigarettes and drinks, that were not ordered. The front desk staff reversed the charges. But had to sign a paper saying that all of the disputed items were not consumed by me. That tells me that charging for things not ordered by the guests is a common practice. B: Got the stomach bug. So please come prepared with Pepto or similar medicine

RATS IN KITCHEN,BUGS ON BED, RUDE & $$$$! The management: The ladies at the front desk were extremely rude, we overheard unprofessional conversations they were having in Spanish about us that they didn’t think we could hear. For how expensive the hotel is, you would think they would cater to ALL their guests better but maybe it’s only if youre rich that they treat you with respect. The room: Our bed had silverfish bugs on it when we walked in. The nice bellman called someone and he came with a towel and literally brushed them on the floor, accidentally squashing one and smearing it on the white bedspread. The nice guy from maintenance told us we could request a net over the bed if we wanted to because the bugs fall from the roof that’s made of wood and palm. The bed was hard, the pillows too The included dining: brunch - they said we were too late they were finishing up & we’d have to wait for supper in 3 hours. Next closest food 10 min away. kitchen staff was actually great, BUT there were rats crawling on the restaurant bar. We’re told that the hotel is surrounded by vegetation w/no way to prevent the rats from hanging out. Chef Ratatouilles supper was atleast tasty, if you can get past the thoughts of rats in the kitchen. Breakfast was also included but it starts at 8 and we had to leave for the airport at 7. No offer was made to prepare anything sooner, they did however give us an apple, ham sandwich, and juice box to go.

A few snafus
Beautiful place, great food and design but lacking in basic services ( a/c was out for entire first day without any acknowledgement from staff. Hot water was sparse ( rarely available) and lighting in the room abysmal (couldn’t read my book!). No manager around. Staff is sweet but often young and inexperienced. Not fault of hotel but no swimming in ocean ( too rough). Hotel pool is glorious, though. All in all, a good experience but be ready for a few snafus.
