We really appreciated Leslie’s recommendation to visit Mazunte. It was exactly the kind of quiet, private, low key beach getaway we were looking for. Casa Lu hotel was perfectly located, clean, relatively upscale for the area, friendly staff, bar/restaurant on the beach. Loved that the infinity pool was steps away from the sand so you could lounge in the fresh water while taking in the dramatic coastline. Outstanding dinners at Navigante in San Agustinillo and Alquamista in nearby Zipolite. Also enjoyed our 3 days in Oaxaca city. Excellent tour guide, Leonardo, took us on a private city tour, as well as visits to local archeological sites, a mescal production facility, the giant Tule tree and a small weaving village. A former teacher, he was incredibly knowledgeable and enthusiastic. the best! Food was ok, but didn’t live up to the foodie capital reputation we’d heard. Only downside was returning with dysentery as we were not particularly careful about ice in drinks, salads, etc. Otherwise, great trip and Kimkim was helpful, responsive and professional.
Hotel Reviews
Clean, good location, lush rooftop restaurant for breakfasts, walking distance from town. Pool was tiny, for dipping only. Rooms surround an open courtyard which amplifies sound. So between hotel guests, motorbikes and street partiers, it was quite noisy at times. But that’s pretty typical for the city.
Clean, private, well maintained, excellent location, only property in the area with the pool located right next to the beach so you could enjoy both at once. Beachside bar and restaurant was great for breakfasts, lunch and drinks. large rooms all have spectacular views, A/C and were cleaned and restocked daily. Though a bit pricey for the area, the location and comfort were worth it to us. We’ll definitely return.
