Our short 2 night stay was great. The property is beautiful and plenty of room for everyone in the family. The kitchen staff were very friendly and always had a meal being prepared. Highly recommend.
Pictures donât do the place justice! I have no words for how amazing Casa Zen is, from the design of the house to the location, the pools, even the towels!!! Rosi and Ruth were incredible, the food was delicious and they were very obliging about changing the meal schedule based on our plans. Walter was extremely helpful and the owner was always a WhatsApp away to answer any questions. Will definitely book again!
House is beautiful
Grounds are beautiful
The website says you can walk to markets- you can not
Cabs are needed to get everywhere
The only down side besides that is Rosa and ruth( who are amazing) are there from 830 till 5, so you are not alone
They are great cooks and made us breakfast lunch every day
They told us what to buy at the markets so they could cook for us
If we did not go to the markets they would get the food and we had to pay for delivery
All in all a wonderful experience
The other two couple who have travelled with us at 6 other vacation spots rate is the best house we stayed in
10+ for all of us
I cannot overstate this... Casa Zen is amazing! We booked with a group of friends not quite knowing what to expect and were absolutely blown away!
As you arrive you walk into what feels like an architectural marvel - a space clearly made from local materials but with the highest attention to detail and all clearly designed for comfort and relaxation. The views of the ocean are spectacular from the pools and deck, and the sound of the waves put us deeply to sleep every night. We booked this place for a surf trip for its proximity to some of the local surf breaks (a short drive to Zicatela and La Punta) but found ourselves having a hard time leaving home everyday as the accommodations were almost too hard to pull ourselves away from. Add spitting barrels on calm, glassy mornings right in front of the house - we felt like we had scored the best experience of any surf tourists all around!
I can't not mention the staff... our group normally likes to cook our own meals and explore the local restaurant scene, but the staff at Casa Zen made it even harder to leave the house daily. For only the cost of groceries and a generous tip, the staff treated us to a plethora of local Oaxacan cuisine daily including tlayuda, mole, fresh dorado tacos, and many more snacks and drinks that we are still salivating for weeks after the trip. We weren't sure going into this trip if we would want to have staff around us all the time, but let me tell you, Rosie and Ruth were the cherry on top.
I have been traveling to Puerto Escondido for 15 years. When I first visited I immediately fell in love with the place, its food, its people and its surroundings. I keep coming back because it is a place to relax and enjoy life!
You can hear and see the ocean all the time, there are several great spots to take naps and read books and the cook of the house makes wonderful authentic oaxacan recipes.
