A little about Playa Zipolite, The Beach of the Dead . . .

Playa Zipolite, Oaxaca, Southern Mexico, on the Pacific Ocean. A little bit about my favorite little get-away on this small world of ours.

Zipolite, a sweaty 30-minute walk west from Puerto Angel, brings you to Playa Zipolite and another world. The feeling here is 1970's - Led Zep, Marley, and scruffy gringos.

A long, long time ago, Zipolite beach was usually visited by the Zapotecans...who made it a magical place. They came to visit Zipolite to meditate, or just to rest.

Recently, this beach has begun to receive day-trippers from Puerto Angel and Puerto Escondido, giving it a more TOURISTY feel than before.

Most people come here for the novelty of the nude beach, yoga, turtles, seafood, surf, meditation, vegetarians, discos, party, to get burnt by the sun, or to see how long they can stretch their skinny budget.

I post WWW Oaxaca, Mexico, Zipolite and areas nearby information. Also general budget, backpacker, surfer, off the beaten path, Mexico and beyond, information.

REMEMBER: Everyone is welcome at Zipolite.

“Everything it should be”
5 of 5 starsReviewed November 1, 2011
We just finished a lovely 4 day stay in Pan de Miel. It turned out to be everything that we were looking for.

The property is well located on a bluff between the villages of Mazunte and Playa Agustinillo. A staircase will take you to the beach and you have a mile of clean white sand between the 2 bluffs. A ten minute walk will take you to the village of Mazunte where there are several restaurants.

The staff and service at Casa Pan de Miel is above reproach. Everyone was courteous and charming. We especially want to thank Mariana the manager and Veronica in the kitchen/dining room for going out of their way to make our stay a pleasant one.

As hostess/owner, Marie goes out of her way to make sure that your every need is taken care of with a good attitude.

Lastly, the food, served in the palapa/dining room, overlooking the pool and the pacific ocean, was wonderful.

In summary, we had an experience that we would gladly repeat again--hopefully soon.

“Beatiful place in Mazunte”
5 of 5 starsReviewed October 31, 2011
We stayed 7 days in this beautiful hotel ideal for relax and feel comfortable, very good service, incredible view of the ocean and beach. The rooms are equipped with all the necessary.
Mariana provided very good recommendations for activities available in the area as well as restaurants to visit.
The swimming pool is available at any time of day and part of the night to enjoy the amazing view from there.
Perfect for couple.

“A lovely place to relax”
5 of 5 starsReviewed October 27, 2011
We stayed here last month for what was supposed to be 2 days but turned into 5. The pool is the real drawcard here, it is amazing and even big enough to try and exercise off the pina coladas in!

Mariana is a great host, she looks after everyone really well. Our room was simple and comfortable with a great view although I think there are some with full ocean views.

Thanks for looking after us Mariana, you will be glad to know I didn't get seasick on the bus to Oaxaca! Lisa and Jarrod

“The best place on the coast of Oaxaca”
5 of 5 starsReviewed October 19, 2011
My husband and me stayed for a week in the beautiful Casa Pan de Miel boutique hotel in the beginning of October this year. The coast of Oaxaca is one of the most beautiful ones in Mexico, the weather is most of the time pleasant and it has a good balance between nature and touristic services, besides that, to get there is quite easy by airplane or by bus leaving from Mexico City.
Our experience with Casa Pan de Miel was really positive, since the beginning when we contact them by mail to get information we received a clear answer the next morning and they also help us to plan our trip arrangeing for us a Taxi from Huatulco's Airport directly to Casa Pan de Miel wich was 50% less expensive than the price you get from the ones in the Airport.
We have been in several other guest houses and boutique hotels in San Agustinillo's and Mazunte´s region and Casa Pan de Miel is the one we consider the best in relation price - quality of the services provided but also for the beauty of the place by itlself.
All rooms are equipped with a mini fridge, a microwave, a coffee machine, TV, fan, air conditioner, complementary safe to drink watter, all the amenities expected from a boutique hotel (eco friendly shampoo, conditioner, body wash, and soaps hand made by a local cooperative of families in Maznte) and magnificent terraces; they also put special attention in cleanness.
The manager of the place, Mariana, is 100% efficient and two times more charming and helpful, Casa Pan de Miel has for their guests maps with recommended places to eat, visit, and beautiful see sights, umbellas, hats, and lanterns for the night walks at the beach. Mariana can arrange for the guests different kind of massages with people that gets to Casa Pan de Miel and use a beautiful terrace for the treatments.
Its location gives Casa Pan de Miel an exceptional view, from the top of a mountain where it is located you can see the ocean and the beaches all around in the pool area and get to the beach of San Agustinillo walking down a small road less than 100 meters.
We took breakfast each day in Casa Pan de Miel who offers different kind of menus, so you can have just fresh juice and/or fruit, coffee and home made bread and jelly or have an order of eggs prepared as you wish.
The owner of Casa Pan de Miel, Anne, is a French woman who has great expertise in the tourism business and an incredible amount of amazing stories about her own adventures around the globe.
We love it and we are looking for the next opportunity to get there again.
Room Tip: There are rooms with fully equiped kitchen, you can ask for a cradle but kids from the age they can walk and until 12 years old are not allowed. All the hotel is very tranquile.http://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviews-g658264-d636405-r120035703-Casa_Pan_de_Miel-Mazunte_Pacific_Coast.html
