What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Each of its 28 bungalows feels private, even though they’re open to the breeze, and the views are impressive, both in-room and from the hotel’s central saltwater pool.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
A steep jungle trail leads directly down to Playa Mermejita, with the sacred sunset lookout of Punta Cometa just along the coast.
The rooms
Detached timber and concrete bungalows feature private terraces, netted king beds, and open-sky showers that look out to the canopy.
The saltwater pool
Bring a swimsuit.
Red parasols line the saltwater pool terrace, looking out over dense forest toward the Pacific surf.
The yoga shala
The open-air shala sits under an expansive thatched roof, hosting daily yoga and meditation sessions.
Dogs stay too.
At the table
Cacao serves fresh Oaxacan cooking under a soaring palapa, and the bar pours artisanal mezcal into clay jicaritas.
