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.

I am writing with some feedback about Casamar Suites, 
a special boutique hotel located in “La Punta” Puerto 
Escondido, Mexico. At Casamar, one can experience a
 peaceful setting, while being minutes away from the 
“action” of downtown Puerto Escondido.   

During a recent two month, solo vacation to Puerto 
Escondido this spring, I stayed at five different hotels 
in the area. Having returned to Puerto Escondido 
for a second visit this year, Casamar Suites was easily 
the place and location that I chose to make home.

The list of reasons is extensive. Here are just a few:

Price:
  • Easily the very best mid range hotel in all of 
  • Puerto Escondido.
  • Seasonal as well as generous discounts to 
  • returning guests. (this was a nice surprise!)

Location:
  • A peaceful and very secure setting close to 
  • the charming beach, shops and restaurants of 
  • La Punta – in my opinion, the most beautiful 
  • section of Zicatela beach.(more people are 
  • discovering this…)  
  • Convenient and quick transportation to
  • “downtown” Zicatela and Puerto Escondido
  •  in three ways: taxi (20-25 pesos each way), 
  • collectivo (5 pesos) or a pleasant 20-25 minute 
  • beach walk. (I walk this part of the beach 
  • once a week for sunset and dinner and taxi 
  • back  home.)
  • Excellent year round surfing, swimming and 
  • beach walking at La Punta - with a lifeguard tower.

Atmosphere:
  • A mature, family environment with clean, 
  • smoke free rooms. (great for solo guests too!)
  • Staff and owners who understand what “service” 
  • really means.
  • English and Spanish are spoken and every effort is 
  • made to introduce guests to their new 
  • neighbourhood including the arrangement of 
  • tours, excursions and services. (Want to surf? 
  • Just ask! Spanish lessons or a massage? Arranged 
  • for you!)
  • The manager lives on site, providing additional
  • security and assistance whenever needed.
  • All suites have fully equipped kitchens, private 
  • bathrooms and patios. Tasteful décor and  
  • authentic Mexican Talavera tile adds to the 
  • charm and comfort of this wonderful hotel.

Complimentary activities, events and amenities
These are offered / available onsite throughout the 
week to all Casamar guests including:

  • Excellent yoga, aerobic, water aerobics and 
  • dance classes.
  • A beautiful swimming pool in a courtyard setting: 
  • palm trees, abundant flowers, butterflies, 
  • hammocks and fountain.
  • A weekly evening poolside BBQ.
  • An owner/ manager hosted sunset gathering 
  • on their ocean lookout terrace.
  • Wi-Fi
  • Recreation / Family Room with satellite TV, 
  • library and ping pong table.
  • Maid service – 6 days a week

Other:
  • Laundry service available, condiments for cooking,
  •  pool toys.
  • Boogie boards, fins, snorkels and masks available.
