Testimonials

Everything is excellent! Tony is very friendly and easy-going, and the breakfasts he makes are very creative 🙂 César is an excellent concierge, I arrived in the late afternoon and when I arrived I asked them about some tours for the next day and they helped me schedule them without any problem and even gave me a recommendation for where to have dinner when I wasn’t expecting it! They have a very friendly cat too. The room was very comfortable and the service they provide is exceptional. I definitely recommend it! My stay was very short but definitely very pleasant, they definitely know how to engage with their guests. The location is very close to restaurants and beaches! —Mauricio, Mexico; January 2025

I had truly an amazing experience at Zandoyo. The location is excellent, within walking distance of Carrizalillo, Bacocho, and Coral beaches as well as the Rinconada, a strip with great restaurants and an easy place to hail a cab. Tony and his team cook a DELICIOUS breakfast every weekday morning that far exceeded my expectations. The rooms are clean, comfortable, and have AC. I stayed in the “Tiny” room, which is perfect for one person. I felt very comfortable and safe the entire time as a solo female traveler. The next time I am in Puerto Escondido I know exactly where I will stay. Thank you Tony, César, and the rest of the Zandoyo team! — Madison, USA; January 2025

We really loved this place. Location is in the quiet end of Puerto Escondido and within walking distance of great beaches and places to eat. The rooms were lovely and clean. The shared space was perfect with an outdoor patio under the shade with an outdoor kitchen and BBQ. The pool was also a lovely addition and so nice to swim in during the midday heat. Beach towels and bathroom towels were included so we had a set that could get sandy. Tony and the team were lovely and super helpful. The use of WhatsApp was so handy before our stay to coordinate as well as any questions we had during our time. Breakfast was 10/10!  —Katie, Sweden; January 2025

Zandoyo is a highly recommended place to rest. It is located in a very quiet residential area but with access to the beach (10 minutes) and an area of restaurants, shops and bars (5 minutes). Tony and his team are excellent hosts. The breakfast is of high quality. —Juan Carlos, Mexico; January 2025

I felt at home at Zandoyo, well looked after and at ease. A little reunion time over the succulent breakfasts that Tony prepares, where travelers get to know each other and exchange experiences, makes you feel at home. Freedom to enter, exit, use the spaces. Everything is super clean, a lot of help for the plans one wants to make. I recommend it 1100%. Thank you very much César, Mane and Tony and the travelers with whom I stayed. — Luisa, Bolivia; November 2024

If you ever travel to Puerto Escondido this really is hands down the best place to stay. From the homestay feel to the way Tony, Mane and César go out of their way to accommodate you, to the exceptional breakfasts, everything is just done with so much love and joy. The rooms are clean and well equipped, the pool is very nice, there’s drinking water freely available and a fully equipped outdoor kitchen if you wish to cook for yourself. The area is nice with good restaurant choices but little gentrified night life (which was a plus for me). Just book here. You won’t regret it. It’s really a home away from home. —Dido, Netherlands; November 2024

Great professionals with a lot of love and dedication. They make you feel at home, they have everything to make the stay very pleasant. They have devised a space for disconnection and reconnection, for good rest and also to take advantage of the environment. Breakfast is fantastic. Very clean, quiet, large beds with very good mattress, and the pool and garden a high point. But the best thing is the treatment received: all three are excellent hosts. They help you with everything, such as booking an excursion, taxi to the airport, offering you totally reliable options. One hundred percent recommended. —Patrocinio, Spain; October 2024

An awesome, wonderful bed and breakfast! This was truly the perfect spot for a relaxing, refreshing vacation. The property is absolutely spotless. Tony and César were so helpful, giving us great advice for day trips. Tony’s breakfast each morning was truly a delight. Fresh food made with such care. The property is a short walk to three different beaches, as well as several restaurants. So all in all, I felt like we had the best of everything. We will absolutely be back. This was truly a gem. Truly, we had six of the best days ever. What a treat! — Robin, U.S.; August 2024

Amazing experience: I absolutely loved staying at this hotel in Puerto Escondido. From the cat Mao to the beautiful rooftop sunset, this hotel was everything we hoped for from our weekend at the beach. We lounged by the pool, walked to the beach and restaurants nearby, ate fruit, and drank wine. Our hosts greeted us with such care when we arrived in a rain storm and helped us with everything we needed from recommendations for dinner to extra towels to calling us a taxi on our last day. Thank you so much for this amazing experience. — Neva, U.S.; August 2024 

Central and family-friendly: The location is very good and central to several beaches. The service they gave us was very good and they even recommended several places we could visit. The attention of the entire team was very good. And Tony’s breakfast is on another level. Highly recommended. —Erick, Mexico City; August 2024

Amazing place: 100% recommended. You really feel at home and the hosts are some of the kindest people I have ever met. I will definitely come back one day. —Salvador, Mexico City; August 2024

An incredible stay: Tony, Mane and César went above and beyond to make our stay one to remember. The property is situated within an easy walk to multiple beaches, including Playa Carizallio and Coral. A few other highlights include the delicious breakfast, Oaxacan coffee and a peaceful pool with shade from the mango tree. César was very helpful with logistics during our stay too, and assisted with car hire and shuttle bus booking. We would stay again. —Maximillian, Australia; July 2024

Wonderful experience: Having stayed at many different types of accommodation in many parts of the world, I can wholeheartedly say that our time here was nothing short of incredible. Tony, César and Mane are three of the most wonderful people you will meet. Nothing ever seemed like too much, and there were multiple times throughout our stay that we were touched by how wonderful the interactions were. Breakfast is fresh and delicious, and provides a chance for guests to meet each other and create a community. We will not forget our time here. —Alex, Australia; July 2024 

The location is the best in the city, the neighborhood is very quiet and super located. The hosts Tony and Cesar are very attentive and always have suggestions to improve your experiences. Tony’s breakfasts are unmatched. —Octavio, Mexico City

An excellent place, with exceptional attention. From the moment they welcomed us they were extremely attentive to everything. The breakfasts are exquisite. It is in a very quiet area without any noise, with very good restaurants nearby. If what you are looking for is to disconnect and rest, it is the best option. —Alejandro, Puebla, Mexico; May 2024

If you’re staying in Puerto Escondido, you should not miss the opportunity to stay at Zandoyo! Our time here was simply perfect. César, Tony, and Mane were so accommodating and the space was so organized. They had everything we needed to feel at ease, from delicious breakfasts (worthy of a cookbook!), to heat and ice packs after I injured myself surfing, to reliable taxi service to the airport. This B&B was the highlight of our trip and my partner and I will definitely be staying here if we visit Puerto Escondido again! —Adrian, Vancouver; May 2024

Everything about my stay was absolutely perfect. My room was perfect, the outdoor kitchen was amazing, it was in the best location, all within walking distance to all I needed and wanted. I was there to relax. And that I did. Most of all, Mané, Tony, and Cesar and staff were incredible. They made me feel welcome, had the best advice and help and recommendations. Such a wonderful stay. I really felt at home. —Helen, London, England; May 2024

A very quiet oasis. The pool and the garden are very nice. The staff is very nice and helpful. The free breakfast is amazing. It is a perfect place to stay and all areas are super clean. There is a full kitchen which is very well furnished. —Kati, Germany; March 2024

Zandoyo has created a warm, comfortable, feels like home atmosphere. The B&B is very community oriented and all the guests eat breakfast together each day. The pool and outdoor kitchen area are lovely. It’s easy to spend part or all of the day there. —Lisa, California, USA; March 2024

Our stay at Tony and Mane’s was only short but we enjoyed every minute.

Tony, Mane and César are warm and friendly and happy to help with any questions we had. The homemade breakfasts were delicious and generous. —Sophie, March 2024

We had a fab stay. Tony was very welcoming and looked after us well. Facilities are great including a lovely pool to cool down in. Room was spacious and comfortable.

When you are staying at an Airbnb that has a 4.99 rating after over 100 reviews you know you are in for something special. Tony and Mane did not disappoint .

Amazing breakfasts, relaxed, community atmosphere around the open kitchen and adjacent pool area. Spacious rooms with private bath. Quiet, safe neighborhood. —Merritt, February 2024

I loved my stay at Zandoyo. I loved that there was a communal feel yet an extremely private, calm, and relaxing environment. Each day started out with a wonderful breakfast of different creative Mexican dishes made with love. I was there for both work and vacation, and highly recommend for either/both. Extremely comfortable room, lovely pool, strong wifi, good showers, and awesome kitchen to cook in. —Kathryn, New Jersey, USA; January 2024

A first class experience staying in an amazing property. The pool and the amazing breakfast were high on the list. In a quiet neighbourhood but only a few hundred meters from bars and restaurants. The best beach is only another few hundred meters away where there is safe swimming. Best of all Tony the host is a bilingual super friendly host with a wealth of experience in this area having been resident for many years. —Mark, UK; January 2024

Tony and Mane were most hospitable. We had a good stay and were taken very good care of, especially when one of us was unwell for a couple of days. The room was well furnished. The property itself is beautiful and well equipped. We loved the pool area, the shared kitchen and lounge area – wonderful place to mingle with the other guests and exchange tips. We enjoyed the breakfasts and tips on local dining. —Wei, UK, January 2024

Tony is the most helpful host we have ever had with Airbnb. We had a cancelled flight and he stepped up and helped us rebook a flight on a website totally in Spanish and was a life saver. His place is relaxed and roomy and convenient. All the extra details are there. if you want to cook there is a full kitchen for guests. Can’t recommend it highly enough. —Jim, January 2024
