Villa Maria Bed and Breakfast

Was like staying at a friends place, very calm relaxing and super nice staff; place is an little oasis in the middle of a neighborhood

Massive bed. Lovely garden area and pool. Really friendly hosts and a delicious breakfast.

Breakfast was excellent. Paul and Luisa treat their guests like family. We enjoyed the fresh food and great conversations each day. We felt like family by the time we left.

Walking is sometimes difficult in Puerto Escondido due to construction and sidewalks that are not always in good condition. We rented a car and that worked out very well.

The location and facilities. Also, they treat us like family.

Great family. Very welcoming and such a cool way to stay in a place and get to know more about an area. Hosts were kind and flexible. pickle ball courts were great with shade cover and lights. Short walk to beach.

not much. a bit of construction around area but that is the way things are… didn’t bother us

The courtyard is a little oasis and the pool refershing. There is a pickle ball court attched to the bnb that Louisa and Paul own - and I assume avilable for rent to play. The chaises are not the most comfortable with only wood, yet the sofas are comfortable. Louisa is gentle and kind, and I had the pleasure of meeting her daughter one morning. Paul was either working on site or off, and ordered medicine when I was quite ill. Unfortunately, the medicine came hours later when no one was present to recieve it (Mexico time). The breakfasts were different each morning.

The location is unfortunately very loud during the day (construction) and night (highway noise). This is amplified by the fact there are no sound barriers on the room - no windows, only screens. Sleeping outside my room was my best option for some quiet rest. At night I could hear another resident struggling through the night with blowing thier nose often. I was concerned all my bathroom trips when I became quite ill would wake everyone. One of the nights the customary Mexican burning smell was strong and it became difficult to breath - the lack of windows made it impossible to quarantine that dust/debris to the outside. At night I was cold, and while I had requested a blanket at check in, it just didn't happen. I was exhausted from the lack of sleep and feeling uncomfortable. Then I got very sick for my first time in Mexico, after years of traveling through Mexico. Communication was challenging. It wasn't explained when I was ill there was any alternative breakfast available, even when explaining I had bad stomach pains to the kitchen staff. When I went to check out with Louisa, she offered me oats, but at that point I was headed to the airport and just hoped to keep what was in, in and not explode on my flight out of town. However, the morning I left, the staff did honor a request to boil eggs I had purchased, for the road, without hesitation.
