What to do in Puerto Escondido
Manialtepec Lagoon Bioluminescence Cruise from Puerto Escondido
"Just finished a stay Casa Joseph. One of the nicest hotels I’ve ever stayed at. We had a one bedroom suite. The room was terrific with lots of space and a nice bathroom. The A/C worked great.
The grounds of the hotel were well taken care of and I can’t thank the staff enough for the wonderful hospitality. They were attentive and took care of any issues immediately.
Would highly recommend staying here if you are in Puerto Escondido."
"Rooms are in very bad shape, staff is not helpful at all, we left to the beach for 6hrs and the agua fresca pitcher still there when we got back nothing was cleaned after us! property is very old the only nice thing about it, is the pool but pics on the ad are deceiving because they promote the Bacocho beach club with the hotel (extra charge) and is not what it shows, ah and the brunch “buffet” bacon is not included you have to pay a fee for it"
"Great location and staff are very attentive. Breakfast is included however it is a very limited menu. You get coffee or tea, fruit, and some bread with jelly."
