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!

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!

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!
