“What sets this place apart, for me, is its position in the heart of Zicatela, a prime spot for surf enthusiasts. For a reasonable price, you get more than just a room; some bungalows have kitchens, and the pool is a definite plus. It's a simple setup, yes, but its proximity to the beach and that open-air feel in some rooms-mosquito nets provided, of course-make it my go-to in Puerto Escondido.”
