"Amazing energy and community here at Bajo Las Estrellas. The breeze at night is nice with being higher up from ground level, and the breakfast served everyday is an extra blessing! As this eco camp is filled with life and love, you can truly feel how much effort goes into maintaining this place to be the safe haven it is. Cook your own food in the communal kitchen, leave a bag of your perishable food in the fridge.. you have all you need for an affordable price here. It’s a 5 min / 8 min walk...

"We wanted a few days of seclusion and Hotel El Risco was perfect for this, It is off the beaten path but in another year or so there will be more connection to this little corner of Oaxaca as the government has ramped up construction on the roads.
We came here in off season and were the only guests. The staff primarily speak Spanish but dictionaries and translation apps gave us a great opportunity to communicate and get to know them.
Breakfast is based on what's available and we usually had dinner or lunch when we went out. You need a vehicle or taxi fare to help you get around. It is very hilly in this area but we enjoyed the walks down to the beach.
The water is rough but if you follow the shore line there are shallower areas to have a nice dip in the pacific and small restaurants to grab a bite.
Our room had a view of the ocean as did the dining and rooftop areas. The pool, it was nice but as it is surrounded by trees and plants there are going to be leaves, flowers petal and the odd bug.
Everything was clean, there is A/C in the rooms and you can control the temperature. There was drawer and table space and as I had to work one day there the internet service was pretty good. My only thing is like so many hotels I have stayed at recently (in Canada, US and Mexico) the lighting. I usually like a lot of light.
I would recommend El Risco as the best place to unplug and relax."
"Its a nice hotel with a beautiful pool and easy walking access to the beach. If you like camping with insects and mosquitoes this shouldn't be a big issues. I couldn't sleep beacuse I felt something on my arm and it was a cockroach, then at the middle of the night another bug was on my leg. Im afraid of insects and it didn't help that my room didn't have AC. 3 out of 5. Its was not for me."
"I arrived at check-in and was confused that the ‘exclusive room’ I booked on Expedia was not available. Instead I was given the ‘master room’ which I specifically avoided booking.
The front desk apologized saying Expedia showed I booked the master room but that there was nothing they could do and I’d have to contact expedia. Expedia confirmed I did book the exclusive room and they tried calling the hotel repeatedly but the hotel didn’t pick up the phone. I showed the manager my booking and mentioned Expedia is trying to contact them and they said “ok” and shrugged it off.
Shocked that the hotel didn’t care and left it to the customer to sort out with Expedia.
Condition of the room i was stuck with and didn’t book: the main door was about to fall off the hinges from rusted out hardware. Stains all over the bedsheets and furniture. Some of the lights wouldn’t turn on. Numerous window latches would not close. Room didn’t feel
Secure.
Ultimately Expedia made right with me but the hotel did literally nothing and didn’t care at all.
On top of this, there was a highly venemous yellow bellied sea snake on the beach in front of the hotel at night. While rare, the hotel also could have at least warned guests about the potential threat of any animals on/near the property. "
"Good basic local hotel in a magical location - please know this is a good Mexican hotel, not Canadian or American, so adjust your expectations. Incredible view but you’ll have to work for it, up a series of switchbacks on a very steep and winding cobblestone road. Down is harder to navigate but the heat gets you on the way up if you try to head back for a siesta or a bit of pool time. No food or drink available, which means you’ll have to plan well, as this hill is between you and all food and drink! You can take a taxi up from or down to town for 50-70pesos. Nice refreshing pool that we had to ourselves. Wonderfully gracious and helpful staff. "
