"Room was horrible, no a/c no towels ( we have one upon arrival) that was dirty and wet probably from previous guest. No bath soap, beds in bed shape, old linens, we keep asking for a couple of bath towels all day and we received only one with holes on it. Bathroom door busted with damaged lock, no elevator ( we stayed on 3 floor) so we dragged our luggage all the way up. They change the cost of the room at the last minute.(we end up paying per bed) HORRIBLE!!!"

"Nice location, somewhat outside of town but with free parking; nice pool, with great view of the beach. The "free" breakfast feels to me more like a check mark feature for the search filters rather than a real enjoyable breakfast so I skipped it almost every day. The whole place is built on sand so be aware you have to be comfortable with sand everywhere, but if that's your jam it's quite unique "

The room was spacious with the bedroom separated from a TV Room and in the entry there is a small private pool.

We have never seen as many dolphins as we did when off the coast of Puerto Escondido. We saw both white tail and spotted, and literally HUNDREDS of them just playing all around us.

A morning tour with Deep Blue Divers took us up and down the coastline to see dolphins, sea turtles, and even a 25 ton humpback whale with her baby.

Top Bahía Principal Hotel Reviews

Casa Kuaa

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful, safe, clean, and quiet family resort just steps from the beach. Perfect local spot to eat, shop, and enjoy the sun. We will be back! "

Hotel Suites Villasol

8/10 Good

"The hotel pool and bar is great. Breakfast was diverse and varies day to day. Room was clean but nothing spectacular. Everything around here will be walk ups but the AC in the rooms are excellent. I love that they have an airport shuttle Terrible wifi pretty much throughout the hotel except by reception."

Blater Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"I stayed in many hotels in this area, I paid a lot of money for many of them, often too too much, and some were horrible. This hotel has the proximity to the beach, large clean rooms, the sound of the sea, what else do I need… Close to everything in Puerto. I cannot wait to come back. I could not recommend more."

Hotel Manglar

10/10 Excellent

"My room was very clean and very modern with well functioning quiet air conditioning plus ceiling fan. Casa Manglar is a gem of a place that feels more like a quaint yet ultra modern bed and breakfast, with a limited amount of rooms - I think 12. Service is of 5-star quality, the design of the hotel offers the serenity of a spa. Again, 5-star, without pretense. Casa Manglar is located on a very flattened dirt road, a few feet away from the main road that takes you to Puerto Escondido Centro; about 3 miles away. Aside from Centro, beach access is a strong walk to the nearest beach. There’s also a super clean, beautifully clear-water interior pool when a plunge is desired. For less reliance on taxis, I’ll look to rent a car or moped to get around, upon my next visit. The town offers many rental options. My stay at Casa Manglar was brief, but I highly recommend this hotel!"
