Beautiful but a little on the pricey side
Pros:

The staff at the hotel were super sweet, even when I struggled with my Spanish, they were helpful. When we were there power went out throughout and when we called to get and ETA on work, they were reassuring and directed us toward the candles in the room. The view from our front door included stairs and the lower family pool. But really the landscaping for this place was just gorgeous and we were grateful for that.

Cons:

Only minor nuisance, the shower handles take a lot of turning before water comes out and the tile floor is very unattractive. It should be white or off cream but really just looks blackish brown. And lastly, the bathroom was incredibly hot while the rest of the room was cold due to the AC. Not sure how to explain that. It was like walking into two different climates every time we opened the bathroom door.

Ohh and before I forget, maybe I am new to using Booking.com but I really hated the fact that I booked this in August of 2025, thought it was paid for only to find that it was just a confirmation and NOT a paid for reservation. For people who budget, that makes a huge difference.

Great family hotel by the beach!
Pros:

Location was great, near quiet part of the beach, views of sea from terrace. Swimming pool was great for families. Loved the old architecture and character of buildings/rooms. Staff were very helpful.

Cons:

Beds are small! My husband and I are tall and our toes were off the edge! Rooms are lovely and traditional and rustic, I loved their charm, but would have appreciated a more modern (bigger) bed!

Pros:

It is a great hotel with kind staff. Everything is clean and in good conditions.

Cons:

They are renovating a lot at the moment. I couldn't use the hotel parking lot because it was closed. I had to park my car in the street what is not always a good idea in Mexico.

Still a very nice place to stay
Pros:

Beds were a little small, water pressure in shower was low. The pool showers had better pressure
Staff was nice but the hotel lost some of family vibe it used to have in our previous stays
It just had more business vibe. I understand policies about eating in common areas to not take business from restaurants but eating chips or cocos we have left over and enjoy in pool area instead of room
Having both pools available would be nice
Adding a jacuzzi and fitnesss center would be great
I tried to order 2 shrimp and 1 fish taco but restaurant would not accommodate even though cost was the same. That said we like the hotel just want more family vibe
Also tried to reserve big suite for 4 people. But said only for 2. Staff did say they are starting to accomoddate personal request like that

Great hotel by Zicatela Beach
Pros:

The Hotel Santa Fe is a well-equipped resort hotel, located near the beach in Zicatela, Puerto Escondido. We have a lovely stay for a few days. It is an older style hotel that had lots of Mexican charm. The staff were fantastic and friendly, speaking English and Spanish. The restaurant and bar were quite good and it was lovely having pina coladas by the pool (there are two). Our room was spacious and comfortable but a refrigerator and coffee machines would have been very useful additions. The wifi was good. The air conditioning worked well but we really appreciated the ceiling fan. Although it is by the busy beach section, the rooms were relatively quiet. But there was some noise related to hotel repairs for a couple of hours. They have a parking garage for cars, but it is a little complicated to use it since they staff need to let you in and out of the garage.

I would definitely recommend this hotel and would gladly stay here again.
Pros:

From the moment we arrived, we were pleasantly surprised with a complimentary upgrade to a junior suite, which made our stay even more enjoyable. The staff was excellent — always friendly, attentive, and ready to help with anything we needed.

The breakfast was very good, and the overall structure of the hotel is beautiful and well maintained. One of the things I appreciated the most was how tranquility and peaceful the place was, perfect for relaxing and unwinding.

Cons:

Honestly, there’s nothing negative worth mentioning. Everything met or exceeded expectations.
