Villa Mozart Y Macondo

“Highly recommend!”

We just spent 5 days here and it was wonderful! Our hostess was awesome. The grounds were beautiful as were the resident parrots and of course the cat Mimi! It is very conveniently located to restaurants and beaches. We highly recommend this hotel.

“Relax en Puerto Escondido”

We spend two nights in this beautiful location by playa Carrizalillo. The rooms are surrounded by vegetation and gives you the feeling to be in the jungle. Two cats and tropical birds live here too. Location is very convenient, right by the access to playa Carrizalillo and the main street with restaurants (we recommend El Cafecito, fast and competitive prices). Rooms are not too big but it was more than enough for us. They have a fan and airco, as well as a refrigerator. Beds are comfortable and king size. The hosts were very warm with us, giving us tips on the beaches we should visit, and arranged a taxi for our way on the airport for 130$, which would have been impossible of stopping a taxi on the street. Breakfast are not included but are good; locals stop by prior to heading to the beach.

“Pretty isn't good enough”

Positive - The bungalow is located in a beautiful garden setting. Esthetically very pleasing. The location is great, about as close as you can get to Playa Manzanillo and right close up to the shopping and restaurants on the main drag in Rinconada. The room was adequately cleaned every day.

Positive - The bungalow is located in a beautiful garden setting. Esthetically very pleasing. The location is great, about as close as you can get to Playa Manzanillo and right close up to the shopping and restaurants on the main drag in Rinconada. The room was adequately cleaned every day. Negative - 'll put it this way: We were paying a 4 star hotel price for what was at best a "quirky" Airbnb or higher end room at an eccentric hostel. The bungalow had maintenance issues. The mini fridge desperately needed defrosting, you couldn't use the freezer. If their goal is "pretty", that just looks bad. Moving to the bathroom, the shower head wasn't working properly and spraying water all over the place. I asked the maintenance guy and he fixed it, in fairness. Kitchen is outside, that's not a problem. The mini stove is operated with gas, we're not used to that and had to be shown how, The stove eventually stopped working. No microwave-in this day and age, a hotel kitchenette with no microwave? They're cheap, even in Mexico. Again, we paid a lot of money, we're not talking about camping fees here. Management was difficult to deal with and ineffectual. Every one of the above issues we brought to management was met with a long discussion and excuses. I speak Spanish, so it wasn't like we weren't understanding each other. The process for defrosting the fridge was so unnecessarily complicated that we gave up on that one. We were issued one large kitchen knife. We asked for a smaller paring knife and the answer was nope, one knife only. Then that knife was so rusted that it fell apart in our hands. We asked a different person, the maintenance guy for a new one and he got us one right away. He was actually reasonable to deal with. The first night watchman was weird and made my wife uncomfortable. One morning, he was operating the leaf blower at 6 am. We complained to the proprietor about him, she looked at us like we were the problem. We were admonished for running air con and fans in 32 degrees Celsius heat. Criticize us? For what we paid? Fix your problems first before you admonish your guests. When we booked, there was a no refunds policy. We had to pay the full amount of our stay when we walked in the door.
