Amazing hotel, incredible staff everyone is very nice. Hotel doesnt have A/C but it temperatures drop at night. The only thing I would have liked to know is that they shutdown the water from like 11:00 pm - 6-7 am or so.

The staff at Budamar is outstanding. Claudia, the front desk lady will go above and beyond to help however she can. The wait staff always kept drinks coming with a smile. We had the ocean facing room in the top floor and it was the best view on the beach. Fantastic!

I was excited to stay at Budamar and it didn't disappoint. I had the suite #2 right in front on the beach. Check in was fast and easy. I had dinner and the food was delicious as well. The staff was amazing specially Carlos who was super helpful. The only reason I'm not giving 5 stars is because the room smelled like fresh paint. I stayed 3 nights and the first 2 was not able to sleep in the room. Luckily the room had a bed outside. When i approached the staff they weren't at all concerned about the smell. They told me it was painted 3 weeks ago but it was obvious it had been a few days. I could tell the furniture was painted and still semi wet. What was upsetting was that the manager didn't show any concern. No one came to check the room or smell. I was not offered anything not even an apology for the inconvenience. Nevertheless I still had an amazing time and would certainly go back.

Excellent location, right on the beach. Pool is refreshing, sunrise and sunset is amaZing! The food and service is great! Front desk guy Andres and other staff members are super nice. Certain rooms facing pool can be loud and sometimes music starts early at 10am in case you are late sleepers. Day beds and cabanas are super nice. No need for shoes or clothes during the stay! Some guests dont care but some cover up while eating at the restaurant (classy!) overall recommend if you want to be on the beach & right by the main street. Great spot to holiday at!

OK

The AC was a nice feature of my room. The hot water was unique to Zipolite. The room amenities were of excellent quality. Some of the towels were like drying off with sandpaper. It was a good location. The staff did not seem to be particularly happy to be at work. The free morning coffee and croissant were enjoyable. The restaurant was never busy and this concerned me so I didn't eat there. The wi-fi was horrible but the internet in this part of Mexico is notoriously bad. Other places along the beach had wi-fi so I don't know what the issue was at this hotel.

Beautiful beachfront property right in the middle of Zipolite beach. This boutique hotel has a great little swimming pool! There are also hanging beds and day beds on the sand all with spectacular views of the ocean. Rooms were very spacious with good air conditioning but the ocean breeze and the sounds of the waves at night was even better. On site restaurant but many other dining options on the Main Street which is steps away! Staff were all very friendly and courteous. This hotel has a very eco feel which we enjoyed. Only thing we could find missing was no hooks for towels anywhere in the room.

We originally booked for one week and then extended our stay for an additional 4 days. The management and staff at Budamar are fantastic and Anna helped us out with many recommendations about Zipolite and Mexico. We spent our first week in room S2 which is at ground level and opens directly onto the beach. The final part of our stay we moved up to the third floor in room H7 which is like being in a little private treehouse overlooking the beach. The rooms and food are excellent. Budamar is not the cheapest place on the beach but the value is fantastic. Will definitely be coming back to stay here again.

Charming, little gem on Oaxaca's coast

Location simply could not be any better. Right between Zipolite's gorgeous beach and "El Adoquín" (pedestrian mall) 30 feet away, right in the middle of the bay. It has a restaurant on-site, serving delicious, well-priced food right on the beach. Friendly staff. The only "downside" is that WiFi is terrible... But unfortunately is not up to them. That's the way it is in the whole town. 100% recommended.
