This was our 3rd stay in 8 years at Punta Esmeralda. This location was convenient for us as we are there to visit cousins who live nearby. It is a quiet, clean, secure and a basic accommodation.
The staff, Vincente, Elizabeth, William, Jasmin, Lucy, Celia, to name a few , are very helpful and friendly. This year a breakfast was included, it was served around 9 am it consisted of a nice bowl of fruit, toast and coffee. It was too bad the elevator was out of order. The AC works well and there are ceiling fans. The fridge was big enough for our needs. The hot plate was old but worked OK. there is no microwave. You havethe use of a coffee maker and blender. There is a safe in the room.
The room is cleaned every day, however do not always expect a hot shower. The large balcony has a sitting bench and hammock. From there we enjoyed beautiful sunsets. The WiFi this year was working well. It is nice to have a pool for cooling off as it was 30 C for the 2 weeks we were there.
Punta Esmeralda is at a walking distance from the beach and La Punta, where people gather to surf.
There are affordable restaurants all along the beach and many convenience stores near by.
We like going to Agua Blanca, a beach 30 min south of Puerto Escondido Manzanillo is also a very nice beach. We do most of our activities with our cousins. However you can rent a car or bicycle and book tours at the hotel.
Taxis are also very affordable
Enjoy your stay if you decide to go.
