Puerto Escondido Centro Travel Guide

San Pedro Mixtepec

We have never seen as many dolphins as we did when off the coast of Puerto Escondido. We saw both white tail and spotted, and literally HUNDREDS of them just playing all around us.

A morning tour with Deep Blue Divers took us up and down the coastline to see dolphins, sea turtles, and even a 25 ton humpback whale with her baby.

Nicest people. Went out of their way to make sure you have the best holiday. Very beautiful old charming hotel. Pools and gardens were lovely, best view for sunset on beach. Food was amazing and well priced. Housekeeping kept room free of sand and fresh everyday. We love this place!

Not enough towels in the two rooms, nor toilet paper. (Which was not new rolls) Drunk people around the pool with loud music. Beautiful hotel, but the staff unhelpful and the environment not the best.
