“A week in San Agustinillo @ Banbu”

Reviewed 9 May 2012 NEW

My wife and I spent 6 Nights at Bambu. Loved it! We had the room upstairs with a great view of the ocean a large deck (surrounding a Coconut tree) and sliding door / walls that open for a open air feel. The room had a second level loft with another double bed. all of this under a natural thatched roof or palapa. We were ablr to use skype with free Wi Fi.


We ate out, but there is a communal kitchen with pots. pans,dishes, silverware, gadgets, cook-top, refrigerators (we did keep our beer cold) and bottled water and spices. Small Grocery store (family owned) across street has everything you need. Big Farm table, Perfect for a group.


Beach front pergola provides filtered light over 4 hammocks and three double chaise lounges, It was perfect to lay back read a book and drink a beer.


"Memo" was great host and explain things about the pueblo we never would have known. How the Life Guards for water safety are organized, how taxi work Exclusive or Collectivos, etc.


Very laid back place, indicative of the area,

“The place to stay near Mazunte”

For the perfect balance of a comfortable and laid back beach holiday you can't beat hotel Bambu in San Augustinillo. The rooms are all thatched in traditional fashion with high ceilings open to the ocean, not twenty metres from your door. You couldn't get closer to the beach! There are four poster style beds with sprawling mosquito nets at night and while you're close to the the sound of the sea, you're far from the insects! Miguel is a great guy, very chilled. I've stayed twice and can't wait to make it three in a row. The prices are very competitive for the area and Miguel likes to look after repeat guests. All rooms are en suite and some have terraces open to the ocean. You won't be disappointed.

  I definately agree with all the opinions below. My two cents would be that more than a hotel this is Memo's place that he shares with his guests. The kitchen is there to be used and people come by daily selling fruits, vegetables and fish so you can cook there or go to any of the local good restaurants nearby. Memo very nicely fills you in on the sea, the locals, gets you a taxi, whatever you need. San Augustinillo is a calmer and more relaxed place than neighboring Mazunte or Zipolite. The walk to Punta Cometa is definately worth it to see the sun set over the sea-- Memo will fill you in.
