La Punta

Santa María Colotepec

Sunsets over Pacific Ocean are one of those romantic moments that every girl would die for. Puerto Escondido (btw. Mekka for pro surfers from all around the world) seems to be an obvious choice for such a landscape. Try to go as far as Playa Zicatela ends and walk behind the rocks. Not many people there, there is plenty of options for finding hidden gems and good compositions. #BvSApplication

Close to airport Room was clean and staff helpful. Hotel is next to the main road and you should expect some noise. If on the ground floor (front facing) you'll also hear the activity of the cafe. 15 mins walk to Centro

We had minor issue with the neighbourhood dogs in that they were quite yappy. Nothing really the hotel could do about that but better than sirens.
