Super auberge , magnifique deco dans la pièce principale , belle et grande terrasse , beau jardin avec arbres fruitiers , personnel super sympa ! Très calme et à proximité de tout ! Emplacement vraiment idéal pour se déplacer à pied !
This is a new hostel, on such a beautiful property. We had a couples room which was large and comfortable with AC. Our bathroom was also great and only shared with one other room. The kitchen is well equipped and has drinking water. There’s also a huge terrace we could do yoga on, and had a shaded section plus access to the pool. Easy few minute walk down to the main shops and bars of Zicaleta beach. The staff Daniel was always helpful, and let us leave our luggage there after check out for a few hours. Would definitely stay here again!
Estuvimos alojadas en muy buen hostal. Nos gustó mucho la ubicación e instalaciones. Es muy acogedora la casa y el servicio muy amable con condiciones muy agradables. Sin duda tenemos un hospedaje de confianza cuando volvamos a Puerto Escondido.
I had an incredible stay at Casa Gio—a place that quickly became my home in Puerto Escondido. The house is massive, just a 7-minute walk to the beach at a relaxed pace. The kitchen is huge and fully equipped, perfect for cooking and sharing meals. My room was spacious, with a wardrobe and AC, and while I shared a bathroom with one other room, some rooms have private bathrooms. The location is great, and what truly makes Casa Gio special is the wonderful staff who keep everything running smoothly. I had genuine, heartfelt conversations with them, which made my stay even more meaningful. I originally planned to stay for two weeks, but I extended multiple times—it’s an ideal spot for remote work in Puerto Escondido. Leaving Casa Gio was tough, but a friend was waiting for me in another country, so I had to move on. Hopefully, life will align, and I’ll be back in Puerto Escondido soon—without a doubt, I’ll head straight back to Casa Gio. A huge thank you to Ana for her kindness and for making me feel so welcome, along with all the other wonderful guests I met during my stay. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a comfortable, friendly, and well-located stay in Puerto Escondido!
La ubicación es perfecta, cerca de todo lo que necesitas: playas, restaurantes y bares, pero lo suficientemente tranquila para descansar. Además, las instalaciones son cómodas y bien mantenidas, con espacios para socializar y relajarse.
Casa Gio La Punta is wonderful. The house has a beautiful, calm feeling—the surrounding gardens are lush and shady, it’s quiet and peaceful, and the rooms and kitchen are tasteful and have a lovely homey feel. Daniel, who I interacted with at the front, was super accommodating and welcoming. The location is perfect, close to the beach and everything, but away from the noise. I would definitely recommend!
El lugar está increíble , el trato es bastante cálido , los chicos son muy amables sin duda me sentí muy cómodo en mi estancia.
Bellísimo!!! Realmente hermoso, muy cómodo y acogedor, la atención de los chicos es increíble, siempre atentos y super serviciales, la playa está super cerquita y hay mucho por ver la cercanía de todo fue lo que más me encantó, encontré mi lugar ideal para descansar y sentirme en casa
