Most stunning view I have ever had from a hotel room and from the restaurant/infinity pool area. The hotel room was large, clean, air-con worked and had a hot shower, which we often didn’t find travelling around Mexico. It was lovely to fall asleep to the waves crashing on the beach. Plus at a moderate price. I would seriously find it hard to believe that there is anywhere better to stay in Mazunte! Great location with a 5mins walk down the steps to the best part of the beach. Short walk down to the Main Street where the bakery, restaurants, shops and ATMs are. It was also close to the top 2 attractions in Mazunte: 1. Punta Cometa (15mins Walk to a point with beautiful views. Everyone goes to watch the sunset. If you are daring, go earlier, 4pm and you can climb down to the rock pool and have a swim) 2. Laguna Ventanilla (15mins Drive/50mins walk from Mazunte) - In terms of the lagoon tour there are two companies. * Lagarto Real (RED SHIRTS, located at the end of the road closest to the beach) 120 pesos per person. The tour was in Spanish which we didn’t understand, but we enjoyed it very much anyway * Servicios Ecoturisticos La Ventanilla (WHITE SHIRTS) REVIEWS WOULD SUGGEST THEY ARE A BIT DODGY Leonard our hotel manager at Altamira was super helpful. Providing us a room with an awesome view as requested. He also helped to book our flight to Oaxaca via Aerotucan as we don’t speak/read Spanish. To top it off, he also gave great advice on where to go to eat; Food & Drink (Ticks are the ones we tried) Smoothies - El Tiburón ✅ Tropical Bowl was our favourite. Lunch - La negra ✅ Chill place to sit and view the beach. Has the best shrimp tacos, guacamole and aqua de melon. - Tertulia Dinner 6pm - La tribu - Fish and love ✅ Tasty shrimp dinner Dinner neighbouring town - El navegante

The hotel was getting renovated after storm damage but to be honest the repairs didn’t affect our stay at all. There are some mosquitoes but if you use the air-con in the room they stay away.

Beautiful location - the view is incredible! All the staff were really friendly and accommodating during our stay. The pool is a good size and good temperature, with full view of the beach, and just next to the breakfast area. Breakfast options were great, and overall just a really nice place to stay for a relaxing few days. Great location, 5 mins from the beach, town centre, and Punta Cometa.

A small fridge and kettle in the room would have been good extras. The hammock was inside the room which on first glance was a bit strange but it was nice to lie in with the door and windows open to outside. It looked like other rooms had their hammocks outside though.

Wonderful views of the whole Mazunte bay, quiet and calm, an amazing infinity pool, direct beach access via a long stairway and not far from the sunset point, hammock in the room, nice staff and yummy food and free water fountain to refill bottles. All perfect!

Nothing really. It’s waaay nice than the older pictures. It‘s a bit of the walk through the town uphill in the sun, for us it was better to go via the beach. It would be even more perfect if the rooms had fridges for cold drinks and to safely store food and more space to put clothes/stuff, a proper wardrobe, some nice decorations (lamps, bedside tables, deco, pillows for the chairs outside etc).

Fabulous location!! We asked to switch rooms because the first room we were given had a strong chemical odor from cleaning detergents used to clean the bathroom, and there were no windows in the bathroom to air it out. The second room we were given was a bungalow perched on the hillside, with a glorious view of the beach and ocean, so we were happy with the change. This hotel is an excellent value for the money. Try to get a room with ocean view. Also, the hotel is right next to the entrance to the Punta Cometa trail that takes you to the best, most majestic sunset you’ll see — highly recommend you go there every evening. The infinity pool is a wonderful bonus!

The coffee & breakfast were not great, in our opinion. I would opt to go to a cafe in the village for that.

Warm welcome; staff helpful arranging taxi to airport; lovely infinity pool; scenic views; nice terrace with table, chairs and hammock outside of my quiet room; close to Punta Cometa; good brekkie and evening snacks/drinks. Also AC, fan and hot water.

My legs got used to it, but it might be a difficult hike to and from the town and beach (worth it). Weird toilet seats. Although not happening while I was there, it is obvious that expansion is happening. Not sure that the hotel could presently manage a busy time period, and too much business would probably ruin the place in some ways.

The place is amazing! It is situated just above the beach with a beautiful swimming pool looking over the ocean. Originally, we had the cheapest version of the room but once we arrived and noticed how beautiful it is, we quickly upgraded to the room with terrace and ocean view. The whole personnel is extremely nice and helpful. Thank you!

The only downside were the bathrooms. During the whole stay, there was no warm water. Moreover, the water stream was so weak, we couldn't remove sand from the skin. Also, toilet sit doesn't match the toilet size, so it's awkward to use it.

The location of this property is divine. We had a room with a terrace facing the ocean. With the windows open, we could see the Sunrise in our bed. Rinconcinto Beach is some steps down, which felt like a private beach access. Playa Mermejita is also a short walk. I felt like we were at the best spot to access both beaches and Punta Cometa. The room is spacious and has a King-size bed. Other amenities in the room are basic but as expected. No A/C but we slept fine with the ceiling fan. Breakfasts were included in our booking and are well worth the price!

No one works there speaks English, which is as expected, but they didn't seem to care about communication anyway. You're pretty much on your own to figure things out.

The views are amazing. The pool is a brilliant place to watch and listen to the ocean and relax. The bungalow is cute, no ac but fans and breeze worked. Breakfast was good on a perfect breezy patio. It was great having ocean view but be up a bit where it is cooler. The guy at desk was very helpful with information about how to return to Oaxaca city. If you don’t mind lots of steps, it’s fantastic.

I enjoyed everything. It is a walk/climb to get anywhere. Stairs to the beach or up from bungalow to pool. They sold beer and sodas in afternoon/evening. If they had snacks, bar drinks, even simple sandwiches…. I never would have left.

Amazing but just amazing view. Good restaurant. Lovely little pool overlooking the beach. Friendly staff. Nice big room and comfortable bed. There are lots of steps (185 between the beach and the hotel) so it is nice to refresh in the pool and the view is worth it.

Instructions could have been in English as staff mainly spoke in Spanish. Having a small fridge in the room or a common room would have been nice to keep drinks cold and make a sandwich.

the views and the location made this hotel special. We loved our beach cabin, the morning sunrise in the hammock was perfect and the sounds of the waves so relaxing. Breakfast and food from the bar were amazing! Fresh and cooked to order. Staff were amazing and went above and beyond to help :) please note that there are 266 steps from the hotel reception area to the beach, incase you have mobility issues etc. we stayed in both the beach cabin (no AC but they had a powerful fan) and the AC room next to the pool and definitely preferred the former!
