Superb

The view is spectacular, the rooms are perfect, no windows, well protected from insects, Mexican coast design style. Huge bathroom and everything works perfectly. You can have a delicious (simple) breakfast with the most wonderful view, chill at the pool, do yoga or meditation, there are perfect corners for everything. Beach is close, but you can't really walk because it is quite mountainous.

If you're out after 23h you need to let the guard know because the dogs are dangerous.

just amazing

we recently stayed at Zazil retreat with an incredible view and stunning architecture, and I was thoroughly impressed with my experience. From the moment we arrived, the lovely host Christa greeted us with warmth and made me feel right at home. The hotel itself is a true masterpiece of design, with intricate details and beautiful touches that added to the overall ambiance. But perhaps the best part of my stay was the breathtaking view from my room. I woke up every morning to stunning vistas of the surrounding landscape, and the sunset was an absolute dream to watch from my balcony. And what's even better is that this hotel offers amazing value for the price - I couldn't believe how affordable my stay was given the quality of the accommodations and service. And the breakfast with that view is just unbelievable! Overall, I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a luxurious and affordable getaway in Mexico. The stunning architecture and incredible views make for an unforgettable experience, and the lovely host woman is truly one of a kind. I can't wait to return and soak in more of the beauty and tranquility of this amazing hotel.

love it all

Superb

We had a wonderful stay at Zazi. In fact it was even better than the pictures suggested, with a spacious, clean bungalow, including a terrace with an incredible sea view, an amazing Yoga area and a big pool. There is really all you need on this hill, but beautiful beaches of St Agustinillo are also in walking distance. The little walk up to Zazil from the beach takes about 10 minutes and is totally worth it, allowing to have space, that most places directly at the beach lack. The breakfast was just what we needed, with fresh fruits and coffee every morning and if you want to treat yourself you can even have exquisite dinner or lunch there served by the super nice staff of Zazil. We recommend everyone a stay at this special place!

Lovely rooms and great breakfast

Amazing shower (cold, but you’ll want that!), good mosquito nets, breakfast is great (coffee, bread, yoghurt, fruit), drinking water jugs in the room each day, stunning views

It’s a very steep walk up and down to the road so wouldn’t suit some. Pool area not that nice. Oh and there isn’t yoga on site despite the picture!

Crista and Anton are exceedingly hospitable and accommodating. I felt welcomed and appreciated.

The continental breakfast which was included was perfect for me since I enjoy fresh fruit, bread snd butter and above all good strong coffee.

Beautiful place. Friendly eccentric owners.

The dogs barking at night running behind the villas was my least favorite part of the experience. It was hard to get an undisturbed sleep.

Amazing view and very relaxing

absolutely amazing views, lovely and quiet jungle-like at night. the staff were all helpful and welcoming. be aware there is a steep hill to get up to the hostel, more than worth it for the views though!

the pool was a little dirty when we got in the first time.

Exceptional stay

The location and the place is simply magnificent. Just 6min from the main road and beach (Google maps show 15min, its wrong) It's a steep hill but very short walk. We got Jaguar room. The bed is big and very comfy. It has a mosquito net. You have a cinema like window with no glass but huge mosquito net for a view and fresh cool breeze. The is no AC only ventilator of needed. But you get the breeze from that huge window/ wall. That's all in alignment with eco hotel. The shower room is a nearly a separate round room with natural bamboo shower head. The furniture made of full wood pieces was so beautiful. You have a private huge balcony / terrace with 2 hammocks. The breakfast was very tasty. Fresh fruit, fresh bread, jam included. We paid separately for omelette and out was tasty. The pool was amazing. The yoga room is a special mention. And at 8.30 there was a class.

Good

I enjoyed my stay here, and even extended it - the location and premises are beautiful.

I think the description of the hotel does not fully convey how hard it is to reach (on foot) despite its relatively close location to the beach/main street - I have difficulties imagining anyone with any type of diability, or older person, being able to climb the steep hill on which it is located (and not the most pleasant walk at night for solo female travelers). A taxi might be willing to take you, but they are few and far inbetween (unless pre-booked). The WiFi did not reach the bungalow at all - maybe not an issue on a holiday in such a beautiful surrounding, but then it shouldn't be advertised. The pool pump seemed to be out of order/not turned on, and the water was stagnant. All this considered, the price point is on the steep side.

Great stay with great views, lovely place

We really enjoyed our stay at Zazil. The rooms are very big, very well decorated, very clean, the bed was really perfect, the views are incredible/unique. Everything is done to make sure you relax a 100 pct: views from our room, yoga lectures, massage etc. (for a couple of extra pesos), calm swimming pool with a view. We really appreciated the company of Christa, the owner, which was always very available, kind and helpful (organising activities like whale watching etc.). The WIFI in the rooms wasn't always working but was great around the pool and in common areas. It's a 10 min walk from the beach, you have to go up a hill but it is doable (always nicer if you have your own car of course).

Nothing, we loved the place. Great price/quality ratio.

Gorgeous retreat and a perfect getaway

The property is stunning. The breakfast delicious. The staff friendly (they took me to yoga one day). Highly recommend waking up for sunrise and enjoying from the yoga studio.

The location is a bit difficult to drive to -- following google maps my car was almost stuck in a tiny alley. Taxis will charge you more to go up the hill. Also keep in mind this location is CASH ONLY, which is questionable particularly for longer stays considering the cost per night and general ATM withdrawal limits... So keep that in mind, because the exchange they offer for USD is very much below real-time exchange rates.

beautiful room and views

the room was incredible with stunning views over the ocean. Beds were comfortable and waking up with the ocean sounds and birds was super! the night guard was friendly!

the information on booking.com is not complete. the location is up a very steep 300m hill which could pose a problem to many guests. access is difficult. There was no guest interaction until the last morning on check out. the pool area was under construction and many builders around so noisy and not ideal to use. There is no restaurant or a small bar to purchase anything in the evening . upon check out we found out from other guests they had a kitchen and fridge we could use but we had no idea. we loved the room but at this point the value for money was just not there. customer service and communication needs to be improved substantially.

loved the place but really didn’t like how the owner was interacting and talking to us

beautiful property, amazing view, nice staff apart from the owner.

the owner is really unfriendly and rude. she repeatedly asked about the payment, as if we were not going to pay, asked us what we were doing here in a very unfriendly way when we had already been there for 2 days, didn’t apologise, and globally sent a really rude vibe
