Punta Kai is an amazing place; it's small but very welcoming, very close to the beach and the main bars and restaurants. The rooms are beautiful and comfortable, the staff is incredible and very friendly, and we had a wonderful time. We will definitely return to Punta Kai every time we visit Puerto Escondido.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
The room was relatively clean but the bathroom still had a dirty tub in addition to an already used bar of soap still sitting in the shower. The water pressure and hot/cold water is kind of finicky as well. If you book this room you are paying for location and the fact that it has a balcony- otherwise I would chose a different site.

Punta Kai was a very clean place and conveniently located near the center. The staff was always attentive to what we needed and very friendly, which made our stay very pleasant. The only downside was that even after the quiet hours began, some guests continued making noise, which made it difficult to fully rest. Overall, it was a positive experience.

Honestly, great value. My room was huge, with AC, a great balcony with a hamac, and this outdoor-yet-private bathroom with a bath overviewing the ocean. Pool, rooftop, very friendly & knowledgeable staff. Extremely well located in the good part of Puerto Escondido. All restaurants 2min away. Hotel location is extremely quiet.
