Gorgeous rooms and amazing service. Solomon and Antonio make sure you’re well taken care of. Anything we needed was taken care of really promptly. Rooms are spotless, and AC works well. A few major negatives though: The door to our room didn’t lock. We raised this the first day and they looked at it and acknowledged it didn’t lock, but took no steps towards fixing it. So our room was just unlocked the whole stay. Thankfully, the property has a locking gate, but still, we were women traveling and it didn’t feel safe to sleep with the door unlocked and leaving all our stuff in the room when we were out. This is really unacceptable for a property at this price. The room design gives only 50% privacy in the shower. That is, the wall around the shower only covers your bottom half. Hopefully you’re traveling with a romantic partner; I wasn’t and now know my friend a lot better than we ever intended. I know this is a trendy layout for Instagrammable hotels, but it’s really not practical or convenient. And finally, this is advertised as an adults only property, but there was a family staying there with kids, and one looked to be around 10 years old. Oddly, the food at breakfast was great, but dinner was underwhelming, but there are other options within walking distance. I mention negatives so people will know what they’re getting into, but overall, we had a fantastic time. We really loved this hotel and would stay again if we can guarantee a room with a lock on it!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
