“A very special place!”
Excellent location, set in the hills overlooking the ocean, well up from the main road so all we could hear from our terrace were the rolling waves of the sea. Stunning views, quiet and peaceful, staff were polite and kind. It was very clean and comfortable and felt good value compared to other hotels nearby. We were looking for somewhere quiet where we could feel relaxed, and this exceeded our expectations, so much so that we extended our stay.

“The perfect getaway”
Amazing location with stunning views and beautiful rooms. I wish I’d had more time there. So lucky to have been able to start the day catching sunrise and then to be able to follow up with a swim in the pool or to use the yoga room. All topped off by nice staff and friendly owners.

“Beautiful location high in the hills”
Pool has just been refurbished and was filled while we were there. Beautiful memorable place for a swim. High up a hill so wonderful views among beautiful plants and eagles. Great architecture - the pics online don’t do it justice. Delicious varied breakfasts. Christa was lovely and helpful booking taxis etc

“Amazing Views”
I had a great time at Zazil retreat. I especially enjoyed the big pool to relax and the hammocks were a great touch as well. Breakfast was delicious and plenty. The hostess Christa and the workers there were very attentive and helpful with anything I might need. Any concerns I had were adressed immediately and I was offered different options to find a solution that works for me. The walk to the beach and then back up might be a bit steep for some but I didn’t really mind, it was definitely worth it for the views from the bungalows.

“Little Paradise with unique view”
Sleeping with the ocean waves in the background and waking up with a fantastic view of the sea - Zazil is like a little piece of paradise on earth. While the drive to the retreat is steep, the reward is a peaceful location far off all noise and with a spectacular view. The beach is within a 10 minute walk and way less crowded than in Puerto Escondido or even Mazunte. Christa was a fantastic host with a unique mix of Mexican hospitality and gruff North German humour, which we thoroughly enjoyed. She gave us fantastic recommendations and even took us to Agua Blanca, which is a secret spot where we had the beach practically for ourselves. All in all, it felt like being part of the family.

“Oasis hotel that will immediately immerse you in the tranquility of San Agustinillo's paradise”
The hotel is absolutely beautiful and has a wonderful view overseeing San Agustinillo's bay. It is enclaved in the middle of nature, which immediately immerses you in a zen, and relaxing ambiance. While we were there, all of the guests were respectful towards the nature and the other guests. Making it a relaxing experience. The personnel at the hotel is also outstanding. Very kind, proactive, and respectful. We would also like to mention that the pool was an exceptional experience. Very relaxing and recharging.

Zazil retreat is situated on a magical location. The room was amazing and the views were stunning. In the evening you can hear only the sound of the ocean. The breakfast was simple but very tasty. This accommodation exceeded my expectations and I wish I could have stayed there longer!
