Posada Real Puerto Escondido

The setting is gorgeous. Up top there is a large beautiful area to lounge. The pool up top is beautiful and relaxing and there are comfortable chairs along the edge/cliff for gorgeous views and a great place to sip a drink or coffee. There was a little putting green which they call mini golf. There is a short, but steep, walk down to the beach and second pool area along with the other restaurant. The pool is very kid friendly, but very shallow, so the water is pretty warm. There are some things for kids down there too: trampoline, swing, soccer field. All the staff was extremely kind and helpful, from front desk to restaurant/bar staff, etc. We had to change rooms a couple of times (see below), but the rooms were pleasant, bright and with a very nice sea view. The place is a little run down (we had to change rooms a couple of times because the AC didn't work) and many of the lounge cushions were dirty and moldy. Actually, the lounge cushions weren't placed on the lounge chairs, you had to find them and pull them out yourselves. The food was okay. Buffet, so there was good variety, but some meals were better than others. There was also a fresh station for tacos, eggs, etc. They try to have international menus, which were not as good as the traditional Mexican food. The freshly made items on the snack menu (fish tacos) were great. It was a very pleasant stay, and I would recommend it, especially for families.

Good food and drinks. Excellent staff.

The hotel was under construction. We had reserved ocean view but they originally had our room facing trees and couldn’t see the ocean view. We requested a change. There was also no electricity in my parents room which we had to complain again for a change.

Rooms and bathroom need to be updated. Lounge chairs were dirty and there is no service at the beach. Food is okay. The one thing we did like is the tour office which were very helpful and went out of their way to help us exchange money. Tours were good and at good prices.

parking was good, hotel good
