We just return from a trip though whole Mexico. We were a group of 15 people from 11 different countries and wanted to connect real Mexico, culture, adventure and history. After a trip from Cancun via Merida, Campeche, Veracruz, then some days in Mexico City we wanted the relaxing part to happen at Las Hadas in teh State of Oaxaca and we cannot imagine that there would have been any better choice. If you grow up and live in Mid-Europe you cannot imagine that people have such a natural friendlyness and such a quality of service in their heart, always with a smile on the lips - this resort and its owners are just so natural hospitality people and do you want to know a secret? There`s everything above avaerage. A lot of people wrote already about the food but the food is even better. Everything from home-made tortilla chips with spicy salsa, guacamole, picatitas, nachos, the seafood soup to even pasta to a freshly grinded coffee from Chiapas, everything is very much above average. We booked the full meal package just for 2 nights and after trying dinner twice outside near Zicatela beach which is 25 minutes from Las Hadas we decided to have our meals at <las Hadas as there was no better choice.
We received a 33% discount for booking the full meal package and it is really worth.

Prices for drinks and additional services are very reasonable and we even received a massage at Las Hadas (they provide massage if you make a reservation 1 day in advance).

If you want to spend an emotional real Mexican vacation in a very balanced athmosphere with extremely nice food and very well maintained settings, very nice apartments with 1 or 2 bedrooms then Las Hadas is definitely the right choice. We are now back in Playa del Carmen and we miss this special service 'all-inclusive is OK too but if you had the chance to enjoy this peronal service all-inclusive feels like a bad choice. :-)

Las Hadas has spotless, well-appointed rooms in beautiful grounds at a very reasonable price. My wife and I stayed four nights, and would have stayed more had we been able. It has a great swimming pool, and a beautiful beach and lagoon across the highway, with lots of birds and even sea turtles (protected by the local village). Victoria and Milo took great care of us, and Victoria is an excellent cook -- fresh-caught fish fillets, quesadillas with squash blossoms -- you name it! The resort is 20 minutes from Puerto Escondido, so it's very quiet and well-located for exploring this section of the Oaxacan coast. San Pedro Tututepec, a Mixtec kingdom the Spaniards never conquered, is a half-hour drive, as is Pinotepa Nacional, the main center of Afro-Oaxacan culture. Amazing lagoons, like Manialtepec and Chacagua, with lots of birds and wildlife, are very close, as are many beautiful beaches. If you want a great place to stay, whether just to relax or to explore Oaxaca's incredible culture, this should be at the top of your list.

After 3 nights at the Rinconada in uerto Escondido we decided to have the more laid back vacation - just ocean, pool and good food and at tripadvisor we read about Las Hadas. Well let me tell you a secret: The food is even better than they describe in the reviews. And once again it's an owner who offer this special gift - Victoria, owner and chef has the capacity to "beam" you into all gorgeous secrets of Mexican cusine. She'll finish you meal with the very special extra spice, extra care and extra taste and we seldom had visited any other place with such a tasteful cuisine. BRAVISSIMO! The units at Las Hadas are nice, spacious and very clean. There's a/c and a separate living room. It seemed to us as if Las Hadas Has the nicest and biggest pool in the PE area and the grounds are maintained perfectly. It's a place to remember and we'll be back soon.

Our summer holiday happened to take part at Las Hadas, the fairy-place on the Pacific shores close to Puerto Escondido and we are happy that we did make this decision as we cannot imagine to have done a better choice. It already starts with reservation, with all possible and necesary information about Las Hadas, Puerto and Mexico, usefull help and fast answers whenever you need more information.
But this attitude continues at Las Hadas; it seems to us as if they read your wishes from your mind. Natural, friendly people, always in a perfect mood (even if it seems to us as if the curcumstances in Mexico and tourism are not easy; it is as if you're a part of the family and they are ready (Victoria, Ignacio, Tiofi or Angelica) to do everything for a perfect vacation. Maybe it is always like that in Mexico but we are used a more compplicated behavior from Mid-Europe, or Northern Africa or many other destination. Everything seems so easy and it seems as if there's nothing more logical than cook the most delicious meals in the world.
If you ask for a special rate and you stay more than 1 week they offer up to 3 days for free. Our hearts have been touched very much as you feel that the staff are simple people from the next village. We visited this village and everything is so traditional, wooden huts, house from wood, covered with palm trees and no electricity, and then these people give you such an amazing service. We're very grateful for this special experience at Las Hadas. We recommend this place absolutely to all people who wish a very special experience with emotions, an adventure for your senses and beautiful nature.
