Guest Reviews
- Jordan (6/5): - The property is great. It was my fourth time back, but the receptionist who is there during the day was not friendly or welcoming, and at times she had an attitude.
- Indira (10/5): - Amazing hotel, incredible staff everyone is very nice. Hotel doesnt have A/C but it temperatures drop at night. The only thing I would have liked to know is that they shutdown the water from like 11:00 pm - 6-7 am or so.
- Ann (10/5): - The staff at Budamar is outstanding. Claudia, the front desk lady will go above and beyond to help however she can. The wait staff always kept drinks coming with a smile. We had the ocean facing room in the top floor and it was the best view on the beach. Fantastic!
- Benoit (10/5): Best location, very welcoming. - Très bien situé, le personnel est disponible et très gentil. Les installations de plage sont confortables. Bon petit déjeuner continental. Bonne connexion internet et de l’eau chaude dans la douche. Parfait séjour. Je recommande et reviendrai.
- Ernesto (8/5): - I was excited to stay at Budamar and it didn't disappoint. I had the suite #2 right in front on the beach. Check in was fast and easy. I had dinner and the food was delicious as well. The staff was amazing specially Carlos who was super helpful. The only reason I'm not giving 5 stars is because the room smelled like fresh paint. I stayed 3 nights and the first 2 was not able to sleep in the room. Luckily the room had a bed outside. When i approached the staff they weren't at all concerned about the smell. They told me it was painted 3 weeks ago but it was obvious it had been a few days. I could tell the furniture was painted and still semi wet. What was upsetting was that the manager didn't show any concern. No one came to check the room or smell. I was not offered anything not even an apology for the inconvenience. Nevertheless I still had an amazing time and would certainly go back.
- itzayana (10/5): - El hotel es muy bonito y el concepto es excelente
- Antonio Herrera (8/5): - Muy bonito tl hotel. Solo falto tv en el cuarto
- Laura (4/5): - This place was pretty run down, the sheets were scratchy and it felt very dirty. The food had flies and hair in it we weren't happy.
- Eduardo (2/5): - No nos dieron de comer
- Verified traveler (10/5): Excelente lugar - Un lugar muy bonito y recomendable, la atención del personal muy buena
- Juan Carlos (10/5): - Excelente lugar para vacacionar
- pierre (10/5): - Excellent emplacement, sur la plage, juste à côté de la rue principale avec toutes commodites. EXCELLENT ménage quotidien Seul défaut pas d eau chaude, seulement tiède (c est peut-être la même chose partout d’ailleurs…)
- Afi (10/5): - A wonderful retreat!!!!
- Maria Flor (10/5): - Not ce area, rooms are nicely decorated. Loved breakfasts
- schern (10/5): - Excellent location, right on the beach. Pool is refreshing, sunrise and sunset is amaZing! The food and service is great! Front desk guy Andres and other staff members are super nice. Certain rooms facing pool can be loud and sometimes music starts early at 10am in case you are late sleepers. Day beds and cabanas are super nice. No need for shoes or clothes during the stay! Some guests dont care but some cover up while eating at the restaurant (classy!) overall recommend if you want to be on the beach & right by the main street. Great spot to holiday at!
- Verified traveler (4/5): disappointing - Staff doesn't communicate, poor check-in/check-out process and rooms where extremely loud. Otherwise nice vibe in the evenings.
- Michael (8/5): OK - The AC was a nice feature of my room. The hot water was unique to Zipolite. The room amenities were of excellent quality. Some of the towels were like drying off with sandpaper. It was a good location. The staff did not seem to be particularly happy to be at work. The free morning coffee and croissant were enjoyable. The restaurant was never busy and this concerned me so I didn't eat there. The wi-fi was horrible but the internet in this part of Mexico is notoriously bad. Other places along the beach had wi-fi so I don't know what the issue was at this hotel.
- Shaun (10/5): - Good arrival and levels of cleanliness, service generally in the restaurant good. A little slow and sometimes forgetful but can be forgiven as you’re never in any rush in Zipolite.
- David (10/5): - Beautiful beachfront property right in the middle of Zipolite beach. This boutique hotel has a great little swimming pool! There are also hanging beds and day beds on the sand all with spectacular views of the ocean. Rooms were very spacious with good air conditioning but the ocean breeze and the sounds of the waves at night was even better. On site restaurant but many other dining options on the Main Street which is steps away! Staff were all very friendly and courteous. This hotel has a very eco feel which we enjoyed. Only thing we could find missing was no hooks for towels anywhere in the room.
- David (10/5): - We originally booked for one week and then extended our stay for an additional 4 days. The management and staff at Budamar are fantastic and Anna helped us out with many recommendations about Zipolite and Mexico. We spent our first week in room S2 which is at ground level and opens directly onto the beach. The final part of our stay we moved up to the third floor in room H7 which is like being in a little private treehouse overlooking the beach. The rooms and food are excellent. Budamar is not the cheapest place on the beach but the value is fantastic. Will definitely be coming back to stay here again.
- Adalberto (10/5): - Friendly staff, good food, clean rooms, and great pool area.
- Alejandro (8/5): Bonito pero un tanto caro para lo que es - El hotel es muy cómodo, un concepto muy zen, un tanto básico con una decoración muy típica de le región, sin embargo costo beneficio si es un tanto elevado, cuando hay cerca otras opciones. No hay habitaciones, no cuenta con aire acondicionado (parte del concepto) son un poco oscuras las habitaciones, las cama es matrimonial.
- Surisaddai (10/5): Charming, little gem on Oaxaca's coast - Location simply could not be any better. Right between Zipolite's gorgeous beach and "El Adoquín" (pedestrian mall) 30 feet away, right in the middle of the bay. It has a restaurant on-site, serving delicious, well-priced food right on the beach. Friendly staff. The only "downside" is that WiFi is terrible... But unfortunately is not up to them. That's the way it is in the whole town. 100% recommended.
- Victor Hugo (10/5): - El lugar es bastante agradable, el trato del personal siempre atento y muy servicial. Me gustó mucho la estancia. Pensé sería más grande, sin embargo el tamaño del hotel está perfecto ya que lo hace acogedor. Lo único que si me falló fue el wifi, ya que de pronto era intermitente o no llegaba con suficiente fuerza a todos los rincones del hotel.
- Carlos (10/5): - Beautiful property, amazingly friendly staff. It could be a little more clean. For what I paid, I expected to have an A/C
- Omar e (10/5): - Beachfront , beautiful pool area a d very friendly staff , the best place in Zipolite !!!
- FERNANDO MENDOZA (10/5): - Excelente lugar para descanso
- Darwin (10/5): Comodo, centrico, Limpio y agradable todo momento - Muy agradable, comodo, centrico, alimentos con rico sabor y accesibles, simepre limpio, definitivamente regresaria!
- Verified traveler (10/5): - I have stayed here 3 time now, and I love the location of Buda Mar at Zipolite. The staff is super welcoming to LGTBQ people, and the food and drinks are reasonably priced and good quality
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Best beach lounging area in Zipolite. Great food and excellent service. Ask for a fan for your room.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - It was a very nice boutique style hotel. The pool was very nice. The restaurant was good and the staff were lovely.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - The location is perfect, right on the beach, and near the shopping center and restaurants.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - right on the ocean. Splurge for the ocean front rooms w cabana. They’re perfect. You sleep to the sounds of the waves and wake up to a beautiful majestic ocean. The grounds are nice modest. Nothing spectacular but nice and clean at the same time.
- JAVIER (8/5): Different - Good experience
- Arya (10/5): Loved this chill stay! - Loved it here! Great service - you can use their WhatsApp number as a real-time concierge - beautiful room and bed, and perfect location on the beach! The food at the restaurant takes a long time but that goes for everywhere in Zipolite I came to understand. Would definitely go back, and missing it already! Thanks Ana and Budamar team :)
- Meg (10/5): Peaceful clean and friendly service - We had a peaceful warm and welcoming stay at Budamar Excellent place and value for money I will return for sure
- Verified traveler (8/5): - A very warm welcome and early check in. Lovely room which was very clean. Beautiful appointed. No air conditioner but they provide fans. No curtains and some noise levels but overall good. Restaurant was fine. Service a little slow. There was nobody to checkout but after 20-30 minutes someone came. Overall it was good.
- Denise (10/5): - We liked the PEOPLE that worked there, the excellent location, and the smaller friendly size. It was very hot and the hotel was able to accommodate our request for a room with more airflow. Thank you!
- Verified traveler (8/5): - This is a unique property with excellent access to the beach. Our room was very small but clean. The property is different than any other place we’ve stayed. Natural wooden railings, lounging beds, and many unique features such as glass bottles embedded in the structure. The staff were pleasant and helpful.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - On the beach great sofa seats Close to Main Street
- Verified traveler (10/5): - I highly recommend the hotel, specially for the staffs. They were very helpful and friendly. They would go out off their way to help you out, make you feel like home. The hotel is centrally located and just few steps from the beach.
- aric (10/5): - great food, lots of lounge beds just off beach and around small pool, had the less expensive double w/shared bathroom, room crowded w/ the two beds, netting for beds but did not need at this time (preChristmas), great vibe, great location.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - I'm conflicted. I want to write this review because I want to praise the staff and beauty of the hotel, but I don't want to write this because I want this place to stay my little secret forever. With that being said, the photos don't do this place justice. If you are looking for a fast paced, adventure filled vacation, don't come here. If you are looking to chill out for a week, like literally do nothing, but lay on a beach bed, have food and drinks brought to you by wonderful and friendly servers, maybe buy some peanuts, tamales, cocos, jewelry, or purses from local vendors that walk by, don't mind nudity in various forms (equal mix of naked and clothed beach bodies), and love the constant sound of pounding surf, then this place is for you. I can't explain how much I love this place. There are some other nice hotels on the beach, but Buda Mar has just the right amount of laidback-ness I was looking for and it's right in the middle of Playa Zipolite so exploring the other properties and restaurants on the beach is easy. My partner and I will be returning every year. Many thanks for Ana, Nadia and the entire staff.
- Víctor (10/5): We’ll be back - The staff was very polite and friendly
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Perfect experience. Staff was wonderful. Food great.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Loved the vibe of the place. The staff was super friendly. Overall, great bargain!
- Verified traveler (6/5): - I liked the location directly on the beach and very close to downtown Zipolite. I did not like NO A/C , and NO hot water, and the room I booked had a shared bathroom. I did not know that when I booked the room - otherwise I would have chosen another hotel or room in that hotel
- Bryn (8/5): Buena Vida - Zipolete is beautiful, chilled-out, pretty close to paradise. Buda is a comfortable reasonably priced well run hotel.
- Alejandro (10/5): Awesome - Everything was great, WiFi not so good a bit slow in service at the bar, they never come to check on you so I suggest to go straight to the bar if you want another drink. Food was great also and everyone was friendly. Super clean, I’ll definitely stay there again.
- Jason (10/5): Great time - Excellent experience. Great hotel and great beach
- carl (10/5): - only negative was music from bar that played loudly until 6am evey single f### night
- Edwin (10/5): - Can’t say enough about how caring the staff are here. From the reception to your food order, there will always be genuine concern for your comfort — just ask any of the lovely people working to make your experience worthwhile.
- Randy (10/5): - I loved everything about this place, the aesthetics, the food, the cleanliness of the rooms and grounds, the location, the pool, etc., but the best thing about it was the friendly, attentive staff from Anna, the manager on down. I can't recommend it highly enough. I do wish the rooms were air-conditioned, but we were there during the hottest time of the year, so I can't really complain.
- Dennis (10/5): - Posada Buena Vida, while by no means a luxury experience, was idyllic in its own way. You could tell there is a lot of attention to detail around the property. In fact, many passersby on the beach took note of this as well and stopped by for pictures, drinks, and food as they passed. Even though we traveled during the off season, Posada Buena Vida always appeared open and welcoming, unlike most other properties on the beach. The staff was helpful throughout and very attentive to our needs. The food and drinks were always good and service was quick. The rooms were cleaned quickly and immaculately each day. They do have a no outside food or drink policy, which was fine given that they could provide almost anything we needed during our stay and the quality was good. Also, they are located near many of the restaurants off the beach, so there are options outside the hotel nearby.
- Verified traveler (2/5): - While their website included they have hot water, there was no hot water in the hotel, nor had there been for 5 days as informed by other hotel guests. We were only there for 2 days. When we told the clerk at check out time, she did not communicate any sense of urgency to address the issue.
- Lisa and Jesse (10/5): Wonderful hotel on the beach - This hotel was in a perfect location and the staff was fantastic. All the food and drinks we had were very good. The room we were in had an excellent view and it was perfectly clean. It was a little small and hard to maneuver our suitcases but that didn’t really detract from enjoying the room. The only complaint we had is that there are no beach chairs for lying in the sun. The sand is too hot really for laying out on a towel so some beach chairs would make the experience perfect! The pool is lovely and refreshing!
- Joyce (8/5): - Very comfortable stay. Pleasant and helpful staff. Excellent location - mid beach and steps away from the main area of town. Loved our time here.
- jim (2/5): Ok for drugged up hippies - After a view of good makeover at puerto Escondido- paved streets , junky hotels rebuilt, drug addicts left - I found where they all went! Sure everybody is free to do what they wish but 60 yo men whose panniculius is lower than their junk seems a bit of trying too hard. Bongo music in person to accompany the piped in bongo music likewise . Place is in poor repair. Wait staff too stoned to speak in Spanish or English . Sure I'm a child of the 60s but this region brings back all the bad stuff that I fotgot.
- Colleen (10/5): Amazing place right on the beach - A great spot to stay. Our room opened out onto the beach. Lots of comfortable seating right in front of our room. The staff are all friendly and make you feel welcome. Very chill and relaxing place. Only drawback was the construction going on near the pool area, but otherwise it was a very quiet place to sleep.
- Mario (8/5): Excellent location and service. - This little hotel has excellent location and wonderful views. It's right in the middle of Zipolite beach, so you can walk to the main street, Playa del Amor or El Alquimista easily. The room I stayed at (H4) was a sea view suite, really small but with a large terrace and decent bathroom. The bed was a king size that took most of the space in the room. It has a table and chair, fan and a small closet and that's it. Staff is very friendly, food is good and they serve coffee and a a chocolate croissant in the mornings to each guest for free.
- Verified traveler (6/5): Nice location, for price could be better - Hotel was in a great spot. Close to shops, in a great spot on the beach. Room was ok, huge bathroom, bed was comfortable, mosquito net was in good condition. Our room was in a location where we shared a thin wall with the bar and they start early in the morning preparing coffee so if you like to sleep in ask for a quieter room. The staff was ok. Cleaning ladies were lovely and very good. Serving staff said we hadn’t paid for a few items and they were charged to our room (one was written into the room slip after we’d signed it) just beware. I guess they thought our payment plus tip, was all tip. Just charge it all to your room so there’s no confusion, is my suggestion. Overall it was a good place to stay. For the $ in Zipolite would I stay again, likely not.
- Linda (10/5): A dream....... - Very beautiful Mexican decor & art, the beach, the sun, falling asleep to the sound of ocean waves and fresh pina coladas in the pool....... was this a dream? Looking forward to next dream!
- Verified traveler (8/5): Nice hotel close to the beach - Customer service was amazing, the rooms were clean & the food was great. The only down side was through out our whole stay the Wi-Fi was not working (towers were down) Other than that this is a clean, safe location and I highly recommend it.
- Richard B (8/5): 2 day break for Oaxaca trip - We were well cared for. Sleeping was great with the louvered doors & windows open to hear the nearby surf. We were a little surprised/disconcerted to find out it's located at the beginning of a nude beach area.
- David (8/5): nice quirky hotel on the Mazunte beach - 3 nights with my young cousin in a room with shared bath.
- ANA VICTORIA (10/5): - It was a wonderful place.Service was excellent!!
- Francis (8/5): Stay in Zipolite. - Very relax location. Get spot on the beach. Friendly staff.
- Verified traveler (4/5): Leaves a bit to be desired... - Check-in here was not smooth at all. First was told I need to pay the entire amount when there had been a 50% deposit. Next the credit card machine would not work and was told I needed to pay the balance in cash (when it is clearly stated that they accept cards). I refused to pay in cash and they figured out a way to finally charge my credit card. So much hassle gets the stay off to a poor start. The room was dingy and small. To the plus side, I was glad to have a small safe in the room. The mosquito netting had holes and would be completly ineffective during the we season when the bugs are out. Parking was is a lot about 100 yards behind the hotel and is NOT at all secure. Fortunate for us nothing happened to the car. We did wind up leaving the beach and going back to Oaxaca a day early.
- MX Traveler (6/5): pretty good place - overall, the hotel was good for the location. the room was basic and AC did not work. Also, there was no hot water for a few days in a row, which I guess was ok since it was hot outside. If you are looking for luxury experience, this is not the place.
- Jacque (8/5): Great Spot!! - My husband and I loved our stay here! We loved the quiet location and the view from our room (#8) was phenomenal, both for sunrise and sunset! The room was very nice and quiet too! We didn't feel the need for A/C, as there was an oscillating floor fan at the end of the bed. We loved the easy breakfast here as well, typically we just had their croissant and coffee but a couple of days we had their breakfast and it was very good as well (some great Mexican breakfast options!) We enjoyed the beds every day on the beach, great for reading and people watching! We were able to be in sun or shade, whatever we needed. The beach was wonderful for walking, which we did several times each day. The check in was a little sketchy, I was asked for cash (Mexican pesos) when the email I received said they would take credit card or PayPal upon arrival. They did take my credit card, but it did make me feel uncomfortable at the beginning of our stay! Juan was fantastic every day at the bar, he made great drinks and brought the food we ordered. The day he was gone was not great - no one came to ask us if we wanted drinks and they put a giant speaker out and blasted dance club music, it was not a good day at the beach!! The hotel arranged for us to be picked up at the airport and called for a taxi when we left, that was helpful. We were able to get by with very little Spanish, probably would be better if we spoke some Spanish. The town and beach offered some fantastic dining options.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Hotel right on the beach - My stay was a pleasant one. The Hotel is right on the beach has lounge chairs and bed right in front. My stay was relaxing no loud noise only the sound of the ocean to lull you to sleep. The staff was great some Spanish is helpful (I have none) there are some English speaking staff if needed . I felt comfortable and safe while there and would return.The Hotel is clothing optional as is the entire beach all tho most guest choose textile the nudity is relaxed and non offensive.
- andrew (8/5): Nice hotel in small town Zipolite - My wife and I spent 2 nights at Posada Buena Vida. Staff are extremely friendly and helpful and views are beautiful. The hotel is very affordable and literally on the beach. The only downside is lack of AC which makes sleeping a little uncomfortable at times when it is hot. Just go for a swim, leave the fan on, and leave the doors open. Good wifi reception as well as parking on site.
- John (8/5): Perfect - Perfect, amazing staff and owner. Super friendly and super service, great pool, right on the best part of the beach, quiet, but super close to town. Stay here when in Zipolite or Puerto Angel!!!
- retired (10/5): Friendly and quaint - Amazing room with spacious balcony, gay friendly hotel. Free excellent coffee with excellent chocolate croissant in the morning. Right on the Pacific. Close to excellent restaurants and pedestrian mall with crafts.
- Katie (10/5): Perfect beach spot - Wonderful place to relax on the beach. Great service but not what I think most Americans are used to. It helps to know some Spanish for sure!
