Casa Roni by Xeno

We love it

It can be far from beach

Amazing house with beautiful furniture and design details

Breakfast should be included in the price as it's far from everything. Nobody even proposed us if we wanted it

The rooftop palapa with hammocks was the best part of the house. Beautiful views of the bay and a cool, refreshing breeze made it a perfect place to read or do yoga. Playa Estacahuite is the star attraction of this little 3 beach bay with calm, clear water ideal for a swim and snorkel and to spend the afternoon relaxing.

The pool was really disappointing:( The water was dirty and it was poorly maintained. The pumps were never turned on which made the water stagnant and cloudy. No lights in or around the pool at night. No other guests used the pool including myself. This is not a hotel; minimal services, minimal staff. Important to note that the restaurants on the beach close at sunset so eat early as the walk to Puerto Angel is along a highway and unsafe to walk at night.

the room was very chic and the view incredible

the spot the house is in is a tiny bit built up - but the views to the ocean more than make up for it

The unit is beautiful, very clean, very nice furniture and design of both your room and the overall building. There is a shared pool and dining area, as well as rooftop area. There is an on-site chef - which is nice because there is not a lot in the immediately surrounding areas (although Puerto Angel is a short 10 min walk away). They have a menu for breakfast and dinner - both are excellent. We had multiple meals cooked by Miguel, and they were some of our favourites of the trip. My wife arrived with a bit of a stomach bug and felt healed by his good food! The area surrounding is a bit rustic, but the beach that is a 5 min walk away is probably our favourite we've been to on the Pacific coast. Great snorkeling - as soon as you're 5 feet from the shore, you've got sights to see underwater, and a large protected cove with 3 bays gives you a nice calm but beautiful spot to swim and explore. A few small local restaurants on the beach that provide palapas to spend the day under when not in the water. Quiet, a bit rustic, but great. The highlight of the Playa Estacahuite area is unsurprisingly the beach and the snorkeling. Puerto Angel is a short 10 min walk away, which has several restaurants and a nice beach as well. We took a taxi over to Zippolite a couple of days which was a ton of fun - but $200-300 pesos each way. Wifi was also very good, you have access to a large shared kitchen, and a smaller kitchenette in your room. Everything was exceptionally clean. We had a brief ant issue which was resolved quickly and never returned. The pool needed a bit of work when we arrived, but was topped up and looking better by the time we arrived. When functional, it has an amazing view of the bay while you can lounge in or around the infinity pool. Probably our favourite stop on our trip to Oaxaca - highly recommend, and would be a great place for groups to rent together.

Be prepared that this not a lot within walking distance - so come prepared. There is a kitchen to use, so just bring some supplies with you (snacks/drinks,food) and you'll be fine. Also the road down to the beach is quite steep - it was fine for us but could be a challenge for people with mobility issues. That said, they did offer the use of two scooters as well.

This place is really stunning. You can’t beat the view. It’s so we’ll decorated. The bed was the most comfortable bed I’ve ever slept in. There’s nothing better to falling asleep to the sound of waves. The suite we stayed in was very private. It’s a short walk to a gorgeous beach.

The kitchen could have been better equipped but the staff were very attentive to our recommendations.

The Villa is in a stunning location. Tucked away and with an amazing view. The room we stayed in was perfect. Peaceful, clean and extremely comfortable. Communication was also excellent and Miguel the house manager was very friendly and helpful. We loved our stay.

No negatives but the drive up to the house is in quite bad condition and the parking is a little tricky but manageable. Highly recommend having a car to be able to explore the local area and go to Zipolite which has great restaurants.
