We stayed here for 8 days on a trip through Mexico from New Zealand and it was one of the nicest places we stayed in all of Mexico. It was just what we were looking for in terms of a relaxed environment, all the essentials and wonderful staff and housekeepers. We often left our room a bit of a shambles... More

I would describe this facility as the perfect balance between hotel and hostel. The rooms have the hostel feel. Sparsely decorated, functional. There is an assumption that you will be spending your days surfing, not sitting in your room and watching TV and ordering room service. After all, the beach begins right across the street, and you can see the... More

I moved to this hotel after having a couple of horrible nights in a hotel nearby. The owners are really friendly and let me check in first thing in the morning. The fan operated rooms are spacious, clean, cool and anti mosquito! The hotel is opposite the beach, yet noise proof from the parties in the evening. There is a... More

I traveled with my two best friends and stayed for 10 days. If you are traveling only with girls this is a good hostel to stay at, security is really good, there's a nice old guy who stays all night to make sure only guests come in. The rooms are very clean and spacious, the hammock outside the rooms is... More

Really good place to stay in Zicatela in front of the beach. The owners are really cool and good people. The place is simple, with the basic accomodations for you to surf your (--) off. Reading some comments before I went, some people mentioned about the room done at 2pm? who cares! it's a surf hostel, it's not resort. Cool... More

This place if perfect. I recommend walk-in reservation. There are plenty of hotels and hostels on the beach so you can fall back in one of those, if PS doesn't have a room. I paid 10USD/night. It is right on the beach. The rooms are clean. You have the option of personal kitchen and AC, but who would pay extra... More
