Third time staying at the hotel, it won’t be our last. It was however our first time in an upper room. It was beautiful, but we prefer the lower rooms. While it was not an issue, the stairs creeks were not the most comfortable when using them - especially for a bigger person.

I really think Descalzo is the best value for money you will find in Zipolyte. It’s a beautiful, family run hotel in a fantastic location half way along Zipolyte beach. The rooms are spacious and sensitively designed. Beds are superb and showers are strong. The upstairs rooms don’t have air con but they have a better view of the sea. Downstairs rooms are a little smarter with air con and a bathtub but have less of the treehouse feel to them. I love both.
