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.ivan

“Best bungalows in Zipolite”
Reviewed 18 May 2012
2 people found this review helpful
Once a year, a small group of yogis travels down to Zipolite, Oaxaca for a week long yoga retreat. Our teacher was lucky enough to find the amazing bungalows at Loma Linda the second year and we've been going back ever since.
La Loma Linda is set into the hillside, directly across from Zipolite beach. You truly have the best of everything- breathtaking views of the ocean and town, gentle breezes cooling down the heat of the afternoons, and easy access to the beach- just go down the bougainvillea-covered stairway (with an amazing view all the while!) and cross the small street, and there it is- the wide open beach! To your left, a lovely lady sells ice cold, fresh young coconuts. (Watching an elderly woman machete the top off your coconut and then delicately place a flower on top is something else.) A walk down the beach leads to plenty of restaurants and cafes, and the center of town is within walking distance if you want to grocery shop, have a drink or go salsa dancing.
In harmony with nature, the bungalows themselves feel like part of the landscape. Each is unique and extremely well made- no gaps in windows and doors when closed, no janky craftsmanship, and no cut corners. If you're out for the day and leave doors and windows closed, it's still cool and bug free when you return. Everything is tidy and smells clean, from the linens to the towels! The beds are comfy, the mosquito nets are effective, and the fans keep you cool if you need to adjust to a tropical climate. Each bungalow is different, and has its own character... all of them are colorful, artistic and wonderful, with small creative details you'll notice if you look carefully. Dieter and Katia get the best hammocks- they are comfortable and you can lounge in them for hours.
I have stayed in a few different bungalows over the years (and seen many others of friends staying) and all of them have been great! My favorite is Casita, which has beautiful flowering plants, a front porch/balcony area with hammocks and a table and chairs, all looking out to sea. The kitchen is great if you like to make your own food. A hat tip to mod cons, there are fridges in every room, and wifi if you want it. Each bungalow feels private, and has a different lovely view.
Keep in mind, they are bungalows- that is, it's not a hotel, so think palm thatched roofs and (beautiful!) wood and adobe construction. Designed with the help of a master architect, they are the most solid, well built bungalows I have ever seen. As far as bungalows go, I don't think you'll find better than this- if you've never stayed in bungalows, this is a great place to try it. The yoga studio and the main house, where the hosts live, is pretty amazing.
Yes, it's a bit rustic- I prefer "natural" ;) There isn't hot water in the outdoor showers, but with the climate, the fresh, cool water is really all you need. You wont want hot. Depending on which bungalow you stay in, there may be a flush toilet or there may be an ecological compost toilet. I've stayed in bungalows with both and the design is such that you don't really notice much of a difference- in other words, the eco compost toilets are actually really nice, well made toilets- there is even a separate porcelain urinal for dudes. No odor and no funk, and the bathrooms are super cute in design. It's a natural setting, so yeah, there are bugs around- but usually outside your bungalow, and not in. Do the obvious in a tropical climate: bring bug spray, and close the doors at dusk.
The grounds are vibrant and colorful, cared for lovingly by unfailingly helpful hosts Dieter and Katia. The yoga studio is clean, lovely, and well supplied. They use sustainable practices, and each year we've returned has seen more and more improvement. The yoga center is an active part of the community, and the kids have a dance class in studio once a week- really cute. Each year, the place just gets better and better.
We've been up and down the beach over the years, and tried a lot of the cafes and restaurants with no problems and lots of success. There are a couple small hotels in the area that have AC and TVs and stuff like that, but the natural beauty, amazing location, and homey feel of Loma Linda can't be beat... if you're in the area, try to stay a few nights here and enjoy these very special, quintessential Zipolite beach bungalows.

Your Mexico Hotel Guide: How to Choose Between an All Inclusive or A La Carte
A Cancun Resort
All inclusive options are becoming increasingly popular in Mexico, with several resorts in Los Cabos and Cancun providing packages that are not only attractive but highly affordable. And if you’re like me, you’re probably thinking if you should go with the all-inclusive resorts, or hop around for variety. Here are things to consider before making up your mind.
Are you a “variety is the spice of life” kind of traveler? If you are, then skip the all-inclusive resorts option for a more “a la carte” hotel (or hotels, if you’re feeling particularly adventurous). This strategy will work if you’re jumping around from city to city, and want to try new hotel chains or adventures.
Are you a real foodie? If you’re a foodie, you may want to try various chefs’ cooking, so all-inclusives may or may not make sense. On one hand, there is no better way than experiencing foodie heaven than getting to know a particular chef’s (or resort’s cooking) unless you stay there for an extended period of time. Typically, all-inclusives have a great meal package rate and help families save money over a longer period of time, especially if you have several kids.
Hotel Perks: As we previously wrote, Mexico hotels are becoming more and morecreative with their hotel perks. So, if you’re a fan of unlimited long distance telephone calls to the U.S. or healthy Pringles-less mini bars, then you will want to check out independent hotels instead of a mass all-inclusive facility, which is less likely to offer them.
Prepayment and peace of mind: All inclusive packages typically have to be prepaid, but despite the heavy lump sum investment (you may feel poor initially!), there is peace of mind that once you arrive at the resort, everything has been taken care of. You don’t need to carry that much cash with you…and you can eat unlimited. There’s much to be said for that!
What do you choose when you travel to Mexico? All inclusive resorts or a la carte?

Puerto Escondido place to stay
- Puerto Escondido place to stay
the morning.I have never been there before and wondered if anyone
can tell me a place to stay and maybe anything about the beach itself.
Thanks, I have no guide book,just winging it.Appeciate any help.

Puerto Escondido offers five beaches. Zicatela is suitable forsurfing only, but Playa Marinero to the right of Zicatela as you face
the ocean has gentle waves. A short drive or 3/4 mile cab ride
takes you northwest to Puerto Angelito and two beaches in a cove.
A little further northwest is another cove, Playa Carrizalillo. Find
Shalom there for lodging and camping. In the center of PE, I like
Palma de Cortez for camping and Posada Cortez across the main
street for lodging.
Lodging from $7.50 USD a night up to $150 is available in Puerto
Escondido.
