    It was just about clean enough. Everything could use a little updating, especially the kitchen and bathrooms. Perhaps a good scrubbing of the sink and tiles etc would help. The pool looked a bit dirty but only because it could use a new coat of paint. The outdoor seating area could use some comfortable seating instead of the dirty plastic green chairs. It was a bit disappointing not to have anything comfortable to sit in for any length of time. Dish soap in the kitchen would be nice. A young fellow, ( staff or family member?) lives in the unit next door and likes to have his friends over to watch soccer in the afternoons. Not too bad but a little noisy during siesta time.

    The two bedroom bungalow had a full kitchen and 2 bathrooms. Very quiet location close to beach and town with no barking dogs. A ceiling fan and stand fan was available. The pool was right outside our unit, which was nice.

    Tranquil spot to escape the heat, close to the beach

    Having the kitchen separate to the room was a bit awkward. Also just be aware that the sound from other terraces travels easily.

    Lovely tranquil gardens to escape to in the heat of the day and super quick walk to the beach. The staff were very friendly. Our terrace felt very private.

    There were dogs and roosters that made a lot of noise during the night (could here them through my earplugs).

    Beautifull flowers, plants, accomodation, view and the people working there are amazingly friendly and the room was nice.

    Be prepared for wildlife because of the area. A little creature raided the cabaña every night and chomped its way through our dog food. It’s noises in the thatched roof keep me awake some times…

    Pet friendly which was great. Cleaners were attentive and friendly. The terrace with hammocks and ocean view was lovely to relax on. Room had a water garrafón and refrigerator which was helpful. 5 mins walk to beach.

    Even though they use Starlink Internet, they had multiple different Starlink networks. And the Internet in my room did not seem to be very strong on either of them and often would disconnect and reconnect repeatedly. I have used other Starlink connections in Zipolite and I found them to be a faster connection and more stable Even though my room had a ceiling fan, it was not properly, mounted to the ceiling and so it's squeaked every time I had the fan on. The room had a desk and chair Unfortunately, my room did not have air conditioning and so in the day, when the room became hot. I wasn't able to work. Having a small mini fridge would be a great place to store snacks and drinks

    The family that run this property are absolutely lovely. The grounds of this property are very cute. The food was lovely. They do have a pool, although you have to leave the premises and enter the other side. This property is only a five minute walk from the beach.

    The water pressure in the shower was very low. That could improve, and the ceiling fan looked like it would fly off the mount at any time, but it held fast. We spotted a mouse, but it was not unexpected as we were in a thickly wooded environment, and people often cook in their cabanas. Dish soap could have been provided.

    We liked the porch area and the cabana itself. The staff was very friendly and helpful at all times. The quiet of the entire complex was lovely. Restful and breezy air and views of the garden and beach were perfect to wake up to.

    The week we were there it was so hot. Air conditioning would be awesome but cost-prohibited. Maybe more fans in the rooms and public areas. The mosquitos were horrible in the public areas but we were in the middle of a jungle.

    The rooms we spacious and clean. The staff was friendly. The resort is beautiful and hidden like the name. Five minute walk to the beach.

    If you can't do stairs this is not the place for you. We managed just fine. Grateful to staff for helping me with my heavy cumbersome bag.

    Villa escondido has some real character. Our apartment deck on the second floor had the best views of the sunset!

    The bungalow next to us had a heavy smoker and was coughing very loud. We had problems with second hand smoke every day. The 3 dogs were pretty noisy even at night. Dog feaces were everywhere in our little front garden.

    Nice space, easy chairs, hammock and facilities A nice large deck to relax

    Walls are pretty thin so expect to hear the adjacent rooms. Food options are about a 10minute walk, which isn't terrible but not super convenient.

    Great place to stay, great views, hammocks, great pool to cool off in. Collectivo station is about a 10minute walk away but gives you access to San Austinillo and Mazunte.
