Beachfront setting and pool
The property sits directly on the beach in Puerto Escondido, with a sun deck and garden area alongside an indoor swimming pool. It is one of the few places at this price point in the city with both beach and pool access on the same plot.
Bungalows with sea views
The two bungalow categories are standalone units, each with a private kitchen, balcony, and attached bathroom. The Bungalow - Beach Front looks out to sea; the Bungalow with Garden View overlooks the pool and garden courtyard.
Room types for groups and families
Several room configurations sleep three or four, including the Superior Family Room and Family Room with Balcony, which have sea, city, and landmark views from a private balcony. Garden-view rooms open onto a patio facing the inner courtyard.
On-site dining and coffee
The restaurant handles breakfast and kids' meals — the latter at an additional charge. There is also a coffee house on site, which is useful for early starts before heading to the beach or into town.
