I moved to this hotel after having a couple of horrible nights in a hotel nearby. The owners are really friendly and let me check in first thing in the morning. The fan operated rooms are spacious, clean, cool and anti mosquito! The hotel is opposite the beach, yet noise proof from the parties in the evening. There is a... More

I traveled with my two best friends and stayed for 10 days. If you are traveling only with girls this is a good hostel to stay at, security is really good, there's a nice old guy who stays all night to make sure only guests come in. The rooms are very clean and spacious, the hammock outside the rooms is... More

Really good place to stay in Zicatela in front of the beach. The owners are really cool and good people. The place is simple, with the basic accomodations for you to surf your (--) off. Reading some comments before I went, some people mentioned about the room done at 2pm? who cares! it's a surf hostel, it's not resort. Cool... More

This place if perfect. I recommend walk-in reservation. There are plenty of hotels and hostels on the beach so you can fall back in one of those, if PS doesn't have a room. I paid 10USD/night. It is right on the beach. The rooms are clean. You have the option of personal kitchen and AC, but who would pay extra... More

The rooms were pretty poor, and not even that clean or well kept. The main problem was the number of complaints about when the room was booked. A lot of people were told that they had booked for the previous night and were made to pay an extra day. Make sure that youget e-mail confirmation about the dates in which... More

I stayed at the Papaya Surf for three nights and they treated me like a family member. Anything you need, you'll get it there. The rooms are comfortable and clean, and being at the southern side of Playa Zicatela the prices are cheaper than average. The upstairs bar is cosy and laid back, and the restaurant up front serves a... More

I check on the web about a Hotel in Puerto Escondido. I saw a few and Papaya surf looks like a clean Hotel with a friendly atmosphere. My advice: Don't go there, it is terrible, rooms are awful, the swimming pool is nothing but a pool of disease and the worst part is that they make do a deposit throw... More
