Your personal piece of jungle in the middle of the chaos.
Pros:

Amazing isolated space in the middle of the chaotic area of la punta. Loved the place.

Cons:

The surroundings can get dodgy easily, but nothing different from the whole area. The place is great and safe.

Snug comfortable hideaway in Puerto Escondido
Pros:

This is a really fun hideaway in Puerto Escondido, I think the word 'hostel' is a misnomer, the property does not have any dormitories. Located 5 mins away from the beach, the property has self contained bungalows set in a circular formation around lovely trees and a plunge pool (a welcome addition in the relentless PE heat). The rooms are comfortable and clean, each bungalow also has a hammock, chairs and a little table on a verandah. In addition there is a rooftop terrace with hammocks where I spent evenings reading and listening to the sounds of the waves as they crashed against the shore. The absolute beauty of this place is fact that once you step inside the compound the rest of the world simply fades away.

Nico the proprietor has a great sense of humour, responded to queries promptly and was very helpful.

I think One Love is excellent value for money and I would certainly stay there again :)

Even better than the photos! 10/10!
Pros:

We absolutely loved our stay at One Love. The place was even better than the photos. Lolo was incredibly kind and helpful, and her place is truly a little oasis just moments from the ocean. The fans were also incredibly strong and awesome (so do not be concerned at all that there is no AC). There is also a beautiful terrace for yoga and hammocking. Would HIGHLY recommend.

Cons:

We genuinely had no complaints. This trip was a dream.

Great spot and very quiet in a little private jungle
Pros:

Great space with other likeminded people within a little secure garden. The location is good and easy to walk to the la Punta nightlife, comfortable bed and the no hot water was not an issue I needed cold showers everyday it’s so hot there. We enjoyed laying up on the terrace and spotting the beach. Plenty of places to eat and drink nearby and safe to walk the main lit up streets at night.

Cons:

A few ants, pool was also a little dirty. The fans are helpful but we still did struggle to cool down before sleeping. Our own fault for not realising Zicatela beach down the road is a bit dangerous for swimming (can still go in just need to be a confident swimmer)

Pros:

HIGHLY recommend this hostel! One of our favourites of 7 months travelling in Latin America. It was the perfect sanctuary from the hustle and bustle of the main town, super quiet and peaceful. We loved chilling on the terrace which had lovely sunset views. We always felt super safe in the hostel and there is security at night which gave that added feel of safety. The staff were super attentive and helpful with local recommendations, all of which were great! The room itself was clean and spacious. Overall a wonderful stay here!

Highly recommend this great hostel
Pros:

Hostel is in a great location very close to the beach. The hostel itself is beautiful, it feels like you’re in a jungle and the rooms are very large. The shared terrace is also awesome for sunsets. I was initially on the fence about booking this because of the no hot water situation, but I’m so glad i decided to book this place. The water is not an issue at all, it’s not very cold or unpleasant. The room has 2 good fans which keep you cool at night. Lolo was a great host and very helpful. The hostel also has two very friendly resident cats.
