I paid overprice because I booked through Hotels.com. I should have booked on at the place instead. It would have been half price. That bothers me. The place is fine but overpriced on Hotels.com

Pool very, very dirty. No phone in room. Continental breakfast was included but they tried to charge me for that. Hotel rented the pool to an elementary school class with 30 children out of control. I cancelled the rest of my days but I didn't get a refund

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.

Esmeralda
The stay at Esmeralda was very satisfactory. The price, the amenities, the space, the privacy. I had a suite with a large bed, bathroom ensuite, kitchenette with fridge and hotplate,and bottled water provided. Air conditioning was available, but very noisy ! The suite had a large balcony and a beautiful view. The location was handy to the beach --a short walk, or up to the road to access small stores, laundry services, etc Esmeralda is located in La Punta which is a short distance from Zicatella Beach.

Beautiful, tranquil place in a quiet area
The suite was so nice that I extended my stay twice. There are so many pleasant features to the place. A friendly, helpful staff. Beautiful, well-kept grounds. A clean, refreshing pool for cooling off in the afternoon heat. A delightful patio for lounging outdoors and soaking up the coastal climate. Location close to the long, beautiful beach. Very reasonable price for the suite, and excellent made-to-order breakfasts for under five dollars US. This place was a gem that I might not have found without Expedia's great service.

Refreshing pool, friendly staff, clean rooms
Punta Esmeralda is in a good location, 5 minutes walk to La Punta restaurants and beaches, 30-35 pesos for taxi to Zicatela. The rooms were clean and the hotel quiet. Salt water swimming pool was beautiful and very refreshing after a long day at the beach. Very friendly and hard working staff, and always available to help. The breakfast was very good and reasonably priced if the continental breakfast isn’t enough. We didn’t have a chance to go on an excursion, but you can book them directly at the front desk with Jose.

Want A/C? Stay here.
This place is basically the same price as local hostels near La Punta, but unlike 90% of those, there's air conditioning and a pool. It's a solid 10-minute walk to the few bars & restaurants/other hostels near La Punta's surf break, but honestly, the air conditioning might be worth it. Cool balconies. Wifi is pretty suspect, the 'breakfast' is just toast with jams, the 'gym' is a 10-minute drive into Zicatela, and for a hotel this is pretty no-frills. But for the price, it's a steal.

A really nice place to relax and enjoy the rest of the beauty of Puerto Escondido, the staff is very helpful and friendly... The hotel offers kitchenette, you just have to ask for the silverware and pots to cook, they bring it to you without extra cost even a coffee maker!.... If you lock yourself out in the balcony, don't worry, they come to your rescue in a matter of minutes!!....

Great Mexican Hospitality
Though the rooms were a bit more rustic than we anticipated (the air conditioning was very loud the cupboard had only four hangers, there was no hair dryer, iron or ironing board, and the kitchenette actually had no dishes, cutlery, etc.), the view from the deck was lovely and peaceful with lush gardens and grounds as well as a very pretty pool and soaker tub. In the evening and at night you could hear the surf crashing on the beach, which was quite close by, however there were also nights where you heard lots of barking dogs and the roosters. The location was a bit far from the restaurants and shopping, but a cab is only moments away and cost only 35 pesos about $3. The staff were VERY warm and welcoming and more than willing to help with anything. The Breakfast provided in the hotel's kitchen was excellent, authentic Mexican food. We loved it! It is also located just down the block from a beautiful Mexican surfer's pub called "One Love" that serves the best guacamole we have ever had along with many other tasty authentic Mexican dishes.

For the price its really not that bad.
The suites are the best over the regular rooms . The air-conditioning is a little too loud and the shower had really no pressure other than that not bad. The view was good, for the price I say its worth the stay.

Very comfortable, but hard to walk to...
This hotel had a great price reduction going (we stayed in the off-season) so it was a lot of hotel for what we paid. It is right by the beach but doesn't have many restaurants near by so you have to use a taxi, car, or walk. Walking to the strip of restaurants on the beach takes at least 20 minutes. I liked that there weren't a bunch of drunk back-packers and surfers staying at this hotel. It was quiet and clean. The pool and hammocks were nice and I really liked that they give you a fridge, hotplate, and set of cook/eatware with the suite! I'd stay here again readily but I'd make sure we had a car or money for cabs. After dark there is no way to walk to the hotel that isn't slightly dangerous- you can walk on the completely dark beach for half an hour or walk down the side of the highway with no sidewalk...so plan your travel accordingly. But overall we were very pleased!
