Why travelers love it
“Relaxed oceanside resort with private beach club tucked into tropical gardens”
Guests praise the calm tropical gardens, attentive staff, and the exclusive Coco’s Beach Club; families value the multiple pools and beach access.
Food & drink
MixedBuffet-only dining across three meals, varied enough to satisfy but repetitive over a longer stay. Expect Mexican staples done simply, not resort haute cuisine.
high confidence
What you'll enjoy
- Buffet themes rotate through the week
- Beach club lunch included in all-inclusive
- Fresh, natural ingredients
- Special dinners occasionally hosted by Carlos
Heads up
- Repetitive menus with heavy sauces
- Food sometimes served lukewarm
- No true à la carte options
- Dinner not served before 7pm
Dining overview
Two buffet-only restaurants serve breakfast and dinner on the main grounds; Coco’s Beach Club offers a la carte lunch, snacks, and drinks in open-air palapa; limited lobby bar access.
Beach
StrongThe resort sits on a cliff above the ocean rather than directly on sand, with a shuttle running down to a private beach club. Carrizalillo, a calm beginner-friendly cove, is essentially next door.
high confidence
What you'll enjoy
- Private beach club with full service
- Shuttle down to the sand
- Carrizalillo cove within walking distance
- Zicatela surf beach under 10km away
Heads up
- Not a walk-out-to-the-sand property
- Steep stairway if you skip the shuttle
Located above a long, scenic stretch of Bacocho Beach—great for walking but rough surf makes it unsafe for swimming—private beach club Coco’s offers palapa dining, hammocks, loungers, and shady seating.
Pools
StandoutThe pools are the strongest physical feature here: four in total, including a standout infinity pool in the adults-only Premier area overlooking the Pacific. Clean, spacious, and consistently well-serviced.
high confidence
What you'll enjoy
- Infinity pool in adults-only Premier zone
- Four pools across the property
- Large, clean, well-maintained
- Attentive poolside staff like Jorge and Edgar
Heads up
- Walk-up bar rather than roaming servers
- No pool entertainer or organized activities
Three pools on site including a kids pool and a winding beachfront pool at Coco’s Beach Club; generous loungers and calm vibe, less crowded until evening.
Rooms & suites
141 roomsRooms come in king, double, and single categories with garden or ocean views framed by large windows; many have been recently refreshed with modern décor but no balconies; bathrooms have showers, no baths.
Room details here are AI-assisted, compiled from the resort's own website and public sources. Categories and names change often — confirm the exact room when you book.
What’s included
MixedValue splits sharply by expectation: travelers who arrive knowing it's a modest older property tend to feel well served, while those expecting polished all-inclusive standards feel overcharged. Premier upgrade is questionable for the extra spend.
high confidence
What you'll enjoy
- Reasonable base pricing around $1,500 pp per week
- Walkable to town saves on excursions
- Grounds well kept and clean
- Staff warmth elevates the experience
Heads up
- Premier upcharge (~$110/day) not clearly worthwhile
- Older buildings needing updates
- Limited bar and drink selection
- Some rooms report mold, hot water issues

Amenities & activities
Couples
StretchA relaxed pick for couples who want ocean views and quiet over nightlife, especially in the Premier adults-only section with its infinity pool and cliffside bar. Not a romance-forward property, but comfortable for a low-key trip.
medium confidence
What you'll enjoy
- Adults-only Premier area with infinity pool
- Cliffside bar overlooking the ocean
- Sunset views from the property
- Walkable to town for dinners out
Heads up
- Kids and families share most common areas
- Older facilities lack luxury polish
Families
Good fitA genuinely family-friendly base in Puerto Escondido with multiple pools, calm beach access next door at Carrizalillo, and staff who greet everyone by name. The tradeoff: no kids club and no dedicated children's programming.
high confidence
What you'll enjoy
- Four pools including kid-friendly ones
- Shuttle to the beach club
- Carrizalillo beginner beach next door
- Warm, attentive staff throughout
Heads up
- No kids club or organized activities
- Kids and adult zones not well separated
- Steep stairway path to beach
Peace & Quiet
StrongOne of the calmer resort options in Puerto Escondido, with no late-night parties and a restful garden setting on a cliff. Occasional construction noise and kids in the pools are the main disruptions.
high confidence
What you'll enjoy
- No late-night party scene
- Peaceful cliffside gardens
- Quiet beach next door
- Adults-only Premier zone for extra calm
Heads up
- Occasional construction and early staff noise
- Kids crying in pools and corridors
- Diaper-changing complaints in shared pools
Resort offers private beach club, three pools including kids pool and winding beachfront pool, tennis, beach volleyball, basketball, mini‑golf, games room, free Wi‑Fi.

What past guests say
“The facilities were neglected; the shower didn't work, towels were torn, the pools were filthy, they allowed people to wear t-shirts in the pools, and there were multiple speakers playing simultaneously. Bikinis and t-shirts were permitted in the restaurant area. The food and drinks were limited and poorly prepared. We preferred to lose money and change hotels than stay.”
★☆☆☆☆
“Out of 10”
★★★★★
“The reception staff is inadequate; they only give you a sheet with the schedule and don't explain or share where the different areas are located. The rooms are clean and the view is good. The service is as advertised, except for the reception staff. You book an all-inclusive package, and there's an additional $2000 VIP package where the beach is closer.”
★★★☆☆
“Excellent service, delicious and varied food, and the rooms were also very nice.”

high confidence
What you'll enjoy
- Shuttle links main resort to beach club

- Walkable to Puerto Escondido town
- Ongoing renovations to older buildings
Heads up
- WestJet direct flights only on Fridays
- Room-number verification for every order

- Some rooms report mold or hot water problems
Expect lots of stairs—resort not suited to mobility-limited; request a recently updated room; Coco’s closes before sunset so return early for evening pools or sunset views.
