Beautiful hotel with adjacent bungalows. Close to the best beach and adoquin and zicatela...lots of restaurant choices within an easy walk. Hotel restaurant is fabulous for food and ambience, overlooking the beach

The expanding popularity of Puerto Escondido has brought much more traffic. The road to Zicatela beach is one way for traffic.The bungalows are located at a curve of this road...the noise from the cars and motos is non stop for many hours each day. Fortunately there are many quieter areas within the hotel compound that mitigate most of the noise. The bedroom of the bungalow is located at the back of each unit and is also quiet...as long as you shut the windows to sleep. The hotel and bungalows are a fairly quiet oasis in the midst of a popular area.

Wonderful location to explore Puerto, very spacious bedrooms and a rather small hotel so never crowded. We were a large family occupying 4 rooms and had the pool pretty much to ourselves every time we used it. Very friendly cleaning staff.

No A/C in the front room making it impossible for our child to sleep in it. He ended up sleeping on the floor in our room. No breakfast plan. Pretty noisy bar across the road

It is a beautiful property in a great location.

I thought the hotel restaurant prices were expensive. The guests should be given a discount. We would have had more meals and drinks there if it was 20% less expensive.

The location, for a family, is perfect. View to the beach "Playa Marinero", a 2 minute walk to the Zicatela beach, excellent possibility to have breakfast at the restaurant or the Cafe "Las Nieves" next by and a lot of space on the balcony/ veranda to relax and enjoy your own meal if you like cooking on your own. Shower, swimming pool and amenities are also just perfect and very convenient with the shades of the palm trees.

Temperatures in Puerto can get very hot so it would be very useful (and necessary) to have an Air Conditioning also in the kitchen. The bedroom has an airconditiong and ventilator which are very helpful.

A lovely little spot tucked in an ideal location. We didn't want to be in the noise of town or the party hub of La Punta, so we opted for Bungalows Santa Cruz and it was a great decision. 1 minute walk to the beach, very close to great food options and loads of taxis close by to get you from area to area as Puerto Escondido is bigger than you probably think it is. The staff were excellent and very cheeky and got a good laugh at our comically bad Spanish and were always full of smiles. Sky TV with loads of channels, including some UK language options (plus others too) was a bonus we weren't expecting. We'd come from a week in Oaxaca first and really noticed the temperature difference and on a couple of evenings when we were prematurely tired, this was a great thing to have in the room. The closest beaches, Zicatela and Marinera/Playa Principal are great for a walk, not so much for swimming but you have the amazing Carizalillo 10 minutes away in a cab as well as Angelito & Manzanillo a bit closer still which are in nice calm inlets, perfect for swimming.

The beds weren't the most comfortable but that's my only real issue with the place. We had a great time there.

We stayed in one of the bungalows. Simple, clean, and very spacious. Less expensive than the adjoining hotel, yet we were permitted to use the entire property, pools, restaurant, and terrace. Great location with wonderful views from the restaurant and terrace overlooking the beach and ocean.

Wifi in bungalows not strong, but excellent access from terrace and restaurant.

This place is fantastic! It's a beautiful old style colonial hotel with attentive friendly staff and clean rooms. The Mexican tile all over adds a pretty touch to the property and I like that 1 pool is adults only. They provide pool/beach towels. The location is great and one of the few hotels with an actual unobstructed beach view. The food at the restaurant was always fantastic, too!

When we first checked in our window was broken but it was repaired right away. I also had a hard time getting really hot water but it was never cold either. Otherwise there's nothing to say. It's a great place! Stay here!

Close to beach, great property and pools. Large suites with good layout, (Santa Cruz bungalow) restaurant with beach view.

Chairs in room need cushions as they are not comfortable. Wish they supplied coffee filters for the coffee machine. I had coffee but was not going to buy a pack of filters for their specific coffee maker for a few days

Some reviews I read about Bungalows Santa Cruz were mixed but I booked it anyway and am so happy I did. We loved this place! Full of Mexican charm, super friendly and helpful staff and comfortable room. We ate breakfast each morning in the restaurant overlooking the Pacific Ocean. 3 pools (including one for adults only), beautiful mature grounds and right across the street from Zicatela beach. We would stay here again.

Loved everything about this place!

Wow! My girlfriend and I stayed there for 2 nights and 3 days and I Loved loved loved this hotel/bungalows. It feels like a little cottage with a bedroom, big bed that was sooo comfy, big bathroom, walking closet, a kitchenette (with fridge, stove and everything you’d need to cook 👩🏽‍🍳), two beautiful wood sofas, everything was great! Wifi, tv, AC! Great location (walking distance to A LOT of restaurants). Also, my friend was in Zicatela last year with her boyfriend and stayed in another hotel, she said she wished she would’ve stayed in Santa Cruz Bungalows and will definitely stay there next time. She had a few work meetings (over the phone/video calls) and wifi was extremely good :) The food in their restaurant is amazing, didn’t even know they had vegetarian food (me being vegan), LOVED IT! Also, the staff everywhere in both bungalows were sooo nice! And I can’t even talk about all the trees and plants, Omgosh! I wish I live there (in the bungalows)! 😍

That I didn’t stay more time there! 😭 But now i know where I’d stay everytime I’m in Pto. Escondido :) oh! And I’ve already recommended it to my friends that will be there this month !
