Excellent séjour
Pros:

La vue incroyable, la piscine, les chambres (nous avons été surclassé). Un lieu calme et magnifique. La gentillesse du personnel.

Cons:

Attention la montée depuis la route principale est très raide (cela ne nous a pas posé de problème mais il faut l’avoir en tête).

I relaxed in the beauty if the spot, the sounds of the sea breeze and the birds. ofof constant sea breeze
Pros:

Beautiful rooms constant breeze from the sea exquisite views of the ocean. Pool and covered are next to it lovely Staff very kind and welcoming very clean and aesthetically pleasing.

Cons:

Hot season made it less likely i would leave by walking down hill to village and beach. So hot during days pool warmed during day. Cooler early in morning though.

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!
