Incredible staff - such nice people, and great service at all times - even before we arrived, they assisted us with transportation. The room was stunning, and the meals absolutely top-notch.
This hotel is incredible. The views are spectacular and it truly looks and feels like paradise. The room was very clean, quite, and comfortable. The food and drinks were delicious. The staff are so nice and extremely helpful. We loved our experience and can't wait to go back.
The room and view were perfect and the beach area and infinity pool were divine. The only issue is that there were mosquitoes in our room -- the balcony door had several inches gap at the bottom (did not close tightly) allowing plenty of rooms for bugs to enter. I was bitten up quite a lot both nights which was not pleasant. And these were the only bites I got at all on the trip - so it was annoying that the most expensive place I stayed was the only one with bugs. But otherwise the hotel is superb.
Absolutely stunning property. Service was excellent and the staff were very welcoming and payed attention to detail. Highly recommend this property to anyone who loves to travel. Dinning was exquisite thanks to the chef, and places outside of property are walkable.
Awesome staff. Food was delicious. Views are unbelievable and location is very walkable to town. Highly recommend!

Soloman and his crew run the best Mexican beach hotel ever. Great food and drinks.
Soloman is a gracious, helpful host. We highly recommend Zoa, hope to be back again.
Fabulous boutique hotel with 7 rooms and incredible sightlines of the Pacific Ocean. Perched on a cliff with fine dining, yoga, massage and an amazing infinity pool.
Had an amazing experience Solomon and all the staff were amazing! The views beaches there and near by were breathtaking. We celebrated 10 years of marriage Solomon and his staff set up an amazing private dinner! Highly recommend we will definitely be back❤️
What an amazing place! From check-in to check-out the staff did a wonderful job. The facilities were clean and comfortable. The food was very good. Salomon and his team were extremely accommodating and helpful. We will be back the next time we visit Mazunte!!
Salomón & Víctor were incredible! Everything about this vacation was exactly what we needed. The resort is kept up well, the restaurant is delicious, the staff is friendly and courteous. I can’t think of a single complaint. Will be back, hopefully sooner than later!
The view out this world beautiful villas super clean we crazy views the food very good and the staff o my gods the staff the manager in special he wook around 14 hours every day and always smile and ready to make you happy
Wonderful hotel with incredible views from the suite loved it!
Relaxing in the swimming pool and hammock was such a delight. The ocean, views, birds singing is so enjoyable and relaxing wow! The staff is super friendly and helpful. Just keep in mind, if you want anything extra, you'll have to pay for it.
We tried some of the breakfast food it was just okay. You can definitely find something better outside, but be warned... it's super hot out there and there's no AC!
Excelent hotel, 5 min walk to 2 different beaches. Rent an ATV and you are set! Very quiet.
Salomon (Manager) and Victor are an asset to making this hotel a special place. They add you to whatsapp messenger and everything you need you get at a blink of an eye. We booked a special dinner and it was above and beyond my expectations!

Mixed feelings
The setting of the property is stunning, as is the pool and the GM, Salomon, was very friendly and helpful. Overall you can definitely feel the age of the property, a lot of wear and tear especially in the room. We definitely felt it was overpriced. Ate at the restaurant a couple times, for breakfast it was fine but lunch and dinner are way overpriced for what you get. Its walking distance to town which was good. Mixed feelings, definitely not a bad stay but wasn’t blown away.
What a spot! We splurged on the master suite for 1 night and it was well worth it. The view was spectacular, the room excellent, the restaurant top, top quality and the private pool divine. Manager Solomon was kind and courteous and helped make our stay memorable.
Highly recommended for a special night or 2!
Tips: we brought champagne but they only had plastic glasses because of the pool so maybe bring your own.
There is a little tienda right at the foot of their driveway for budget water and snacks.
