Casamar Suites: a special boutique hotel located in “La Punta” Puerto Escondido, Mexico. At Casamar, one can enjoy peaceful accommodation while being close to downtown Puerto Escondido.
During a recent two month, solo vacation to Puerto Escondido this spring, I stayed at five different hotels. Having returned to Puerto Escondido for a second visit this year, Casamar Suites was easily the place and location that I chose to make home.
The list of reasons is extensive. Here are just a few:
Price:
• Easily the very best mid range hotel in all of Puerto Escondido.
• Seasonal as well as generous discounts to returning guests. (This was a nice surprise!)
Location:
• A peaceful and very secure setting close to the charming beach, shops and restaurants of La Punta – in my opinion, the most beautiful section of Zicatela beach.(more people are discovering this…)
• Convenient / quick transportation to “downtown” Zicatela & Puerto Escondido in three ways: taxi (50 pesos return), collectivo (10 pesos return) or a pleasant 20-25 minute beach walk. (I walk this part of the beach once a week for sunset & dinner & taxi back home.)
• Excellent year round surfing, swimming at La Punta - with a lifeguard tower.
Atmosphere:
• A mature, family environment with clean, smoke free rooms. (great for solo guests too!)
• Staff/owners who understand what “service” really means.
• English and Spanish are spoken & every effort is made to introduce guests to their new neighbourhood including the arrangement of tours, excursions & services. (Want to surf? Just ask! Spanish lessons, massage, horse back ride? Arranged for you!)
• The manager lives on site, providing additional security & assistance whenever needed.
• All suites have fully equipped kitchens, private bathrooms & patios. Tasteful décor & authentic Mexican Talavera tile add to the charm & comfort of this wonderful hotel.
Complimentary activities, events & amenities: These are offered / available onsite throughout the week to all Casamar guests including:
• Excellent yoga, aerobic and dance classes
