Casa Monika

Very clean and close to the punta beach

Very comfortable room not far from the beach at la Punta. The AC was a lifesaver . The shared outdoor kitchen and pool area created a nice communal vibe outside the room .

The water temperature in the shower was never more than warm - not too much of a problem as the weather was really hot.

It’s fully equiped

The staff is not always present

Wonderful rooms with modern interior decor and excellent air conditioning. The property is secure and has an outdoor kitchen and dining area and a great adult swimming pool. Our room had gorgeous views of the port and mountains!

Everything was perfect!

Really nice and clean

I often leave 5 star reviews as a formality but this is not the case when staying at monikas. It’s a genuine 5 star experience. Incredible value for money, great location, really comfortable trendy rooms. Monika is the most amazing host and I’m going to miss torta. Will stay here every time I’m in puerto Escondido

Great location, withing walking distance to the beach and all the bars and restaurants. Room was very nice and clean. Staff was nice as well.

There was a weird problem with the lights in the room, they would randomly turn off in the bathroom. And the outside area could have been better maintained, the grass was a bit tall around the pool. Other than that, everything was great.

atmosphere

The location is great if you plan to stay in touch with the surfer community and totally disconnect. The room is well equipped, with a small kitchen, air conditioning, bathroom. be aware that the bathroom door is a sliding piece of wood; it does not physically separate the bathroom and the room. The beach is 5-8 min walking distance, which is also nice to not have the nighttime noise.

We would have liked to have a bit more communication by the house owner, Monika. This was however was not a big deal. We share some comments hoping to be constructive: We arrived unexpectedly early to Puerto Escondido (~10:30am). After writing through booking.com, calling directly several times with no success… we had to wait some 30 min in front of the house to ask if we could drop our stuff earlier than the checkin and have further info. In the check-in process we had no further info other than opening us the door. We missed tips like: is there a washing machine we can use? how do we ask for the cleaning service to go in the room? (we discovered a little sign on the wall saying “yes/no” after the third day) how often does the cleaning service work? at what time? etc etc. Also on the checkout we had to wait fro around 30 min, ready to leave, to know what the process was like (what do we do with the key? do we need to see each other personally?…). In general we felt that the weight of the communication was on our side, and this would be fine if it was clearly stated from the beginning. This is of course considering that the price is somewhat higher than the average is similar places in the area.

Nice hotel with spacious room and comfy bed. Great roof top terrace. Very well located at walking distance to the sea and the Zicatela bars and restaurants.

We had one of the 2 rooms on ground floor which are a bit dark. Welcoming has been very cold…smiling is for free :)
