Pros:

Fantastiskt läge på hotellet! Vi såg valar från terrassen där vi åt frukost! Rummet hade havsutsikt… inga fönster men nät istället ! Havet och fåglarna var närvarande hela tiden ! Vi såg soluppgången från sängen .. backen upp till hotellet var svettig men det var värt det!:)

Un écrin magnifique, au-dessus de San Agustillino, pour profiter d'une ambiance calme et reposante.
Pros:

On a adoré découvrir ce lieu d'exception, par son architecture, ses larges vues, la discrétion entre les "chambres" chacune avec son ponton. La gentillesse du personnel et la personnalité de la maîtresse des lieux !
Petit déjeuner délicieux, des fruits, des jus, confitures. Le pain souvent frais. La communion totale avec la nature, et, cette vue 180° sur le Pacifique , le bruit des vagues durant la nuit (la moustiquaire fait office de fenêtre) . Les rencontres.

Cons:

On aurait du commander d'emblée le service taxi depuis l'aéroport de PE. car le notre a refusé de nous déposer au pied de l'hôtel -la pente finale est assez raide !
Malgré ma demande, le personnel -qui parle peu anglais, comme partout au Mexique- n'a pas trouvé de sèche cheveux. Le ventilateur a fait son office

Pros:

Unbedingt Zimmer mit Aussicht buchen: einfach das beste. Man sitzt traumhaft auf der Terrasse und kann derzeit täglich morgens wunderbar die Buckelwale beobachten.

Das Frühstück war, wie erwartet, simpel, täglich gleich, aber OK für uns (aus vorangegangenen Bewertungen konnten wir uns vorab darauf einstellen).

Da das Zazil sehr hoch liegt (der Weg ist tatsächlich super steil zur Unterkunft) war der Pool sehr gut, gerade für unsere Kinder.

Ortsgeschehen/Strand in gut 10 min erreichbar.

The perfect getaway
Pros:

Amazing location with stunning views and beautiful rooms. I wish I’d had more time there. So lucky to have been able to start the day catching sunrise and then to be able to follow up with a swim in the pool or to use the yoga room. All topped off by nice staff and friendly owners.

Beautiful location high in the hills
Pros:

Pool has just been refurbished and was filled while we were there. Beautiful memorable place for a swim. High up a hill so wonderful views among beautiful plants and eagles. Great architecture - the pics online don’t do it justice. Delicious varied breakfasts. Christa was lovely and helpful booking taxis etc

Cons:

Our room was warm at night so be prepared! The cool shower was ok as it was very warm when we were there so found it refreshing after a walk up the hill.

It is a steep walk up but we managed. Wear trainers rather than flip flops!

Amazing Views
Pros:

I had a great time at Zazil retreat. I especially enjoyed the big pool to relax and the hammocks were a great touch as well. Breakfast was delicious and plenty. The hostess Christa and the workers there were very attentive and helpful with anything I might need. Any concerns I had were adressed immediately and I was offered different options to find a solution that works for me. The walk to the beach and then back up might be a bit steep for some but I didn’t really mind, it was definitely worth it for the views from the bungalows.

Cons:

There was no hot water, which wasn’t too bad since it was rather warm during my stay. The lights in the rooms could be a bit brighter.

Una semana en el paraíso
Pros:

Es uno de los lugares más mágicos de la costa oaxaqueña. En plena naturaleza, te dormías con el sonido lejano del mar y de la naturaleza. El personal maravilloso, te limpian la habitación todos los días y te cuidan como si estuvieras en casa. Las sábanas suaves, la cama grande, la ducha con vistas al mar. En la terraza privada te relajabas con las hamacas.
El desayuno incluye una barra de pan recién hecho riquísimo y crujiente. Christa, la anfitriona, es un encanto de la que nos costó despedirnos después de pasar tantos días en el paraíso. Todo el personal es magnífico. Hemos estado una semana y nos ha faltado días. La ubicación es perfecta, lejos del ruido de los pueblos más turísticos. La playa de la bahía apta para baño ya que es más tranquila. La otra playa está más expuesta y es ideal para surfistas expertos. Ya queremos volver.
