Villa Aikia Adults Only

Villa Aikido is a great place. Beautiful apartments with well laid out balconies that offer amazing view of the ocean. The rooms are very comfortable, stylish and spacious. The restaurant offered a solid selection of food. The staff are super friendly and helpful. There are two beach coves below the hotel with only hotel access that were a gem. It seemed that we had these tow beaches to ourselves. There is also a short cut to get to the main part of Zipolite. Very helpful information. The first day we walked the long way. We chose this place because of it being clothing-optional, but no one was nude, except our party of three. That was a bit disappointing. But visiting other nude friendly hotels, it was the same. I was told that it's because that the summer is not peak season. I definitely recommend this place. Beautiful!

Great place to stay!

Great views, AC, Nice pool, and wonderfull staff. Thus property sits atop a hill overlooking the pacific so you can watch the whales go by. The walk to town is tough though especially if you're older. The water pressure was low and the bidet didn't work. There is no TV which was fine with us. Internet was hit and miss.

The property was beautiful and well appointed. The room was very nice but the bathroom didn’t offer much privacy - transparent glass door (some privacy paint blocks) that didn’t even close all the way. The restaurant and the view is very nice, however it does close relatively early in the evening. We were there on a Friday evening and we were alone at the restaurant surprisingly. We barely heard a soul after 8 pm. So the place is very quiet if that’s your thing but we found it very boring. It has its own private beach but it’s not very nice since there were a bunch of tiny crabs. It’s too far from Zipolite beach for a quick walk or bar visit, you have to pack for a day trip, which we did, but then we’re worried about watching our belongings like a hawk when we went in the water. We ended up finding another hotel on Zipolite beach that was more our speed. A lot of night life on the beach which you don’t find near this hotel. Good for a family or business trip or quiet couple, but I think most couples would enjoy staying right in Zipolite.

Good

Excellent service and everything was great. Rooms were clean and beds were really comfortable, would definitely come back and would recommend to anyone looking for a five star stay in an area where some hotels could be a hit or miss. The pool and common areas were clean and maintained. Also the dining area was a great place to meet some of the other guests and spend a nice evening with everyone.

Beautiful location, great staff, but the hotel is looking old and in need of some maintenance.

Very quiet area about a 10 minute walk from downtown/main beach. Bring your snorkeling gear as many tours stop in bay in front of the hotel where you can walk in. Rooms are beautiful and view is stunning. The owners were onsite and made sure everyone was satisfied.

This is an awesome boutique hotel with amazing views, rooms and staff. Best place to relax and get away from the fast paced city life.

Great place to stay if you are going to Zipolite. It’s further away from the other hotels on the beach so you’ll have to walk a bit but it’s a very enjoyable walk. No bad view from any of the rooms which are cleaned daily. The best part without a doubt is the staff, they make you feel like you’re staying with family. Small food menu but Alma is an excellent cook and is super accommodating. Overall great experience and would definitely stay here again.
