Everything. The rooms, the pool, the bar, the views, and most importantly the people… everything at Villa Bonobo was incredible. The rooms are very comfortable with air conditioning. The pool area is clean, great for lounging and meeting other travelers. Alicia and her staff are so friendly and make you feel like part of the family. Can’t recommend Villa Bonobo enough!

Matthew United States of America

It’s a really nice place, with nice views and very comfortable.

Ambell Mexico

Wide open and clean spaces with awesome views and great service

Rebeca Mexico

Everything is amazing; the guests, the hosts, breakfasts :-). They make sure everyone feel ok while staying here and recommend several activities per day on their cool whatsapp group that you join right after check-in; bbqs, live music, dinner... Don't miss out their drinks' nights at their rooftop (so cool) where you can get to know other guests and the hosts.

Villa Bonobo was home away from home during our stay. The accommodations are lovely & comfortable, and most importantly, the people who bring the space to life are wonderful. We had such a great time meeting and making friends with the staff (Maui, Enric, Delphi, Chris, and more — sending love). Loved the rooftop bar and mid-week BBQ. Villa Bonobo was such a relaxing and lovely space to have as home base, away from the bustle of La Punta, but close enough to get there easily with all of the amenities we could have wanted. The group chat was great for local recommendations. We saw folks come back to hang who weren't even staying at the place anymore, just because the vibe was so great.

  • Hello! What wifi speed do you have in the room? thanks
    Hello Darling, we have a 10MB line at the house that works pretty well, as long as the main Internet of Puerto Escondido is working well, what can get complicated time by time.
    Answered on 3 February 2021
  • Hello! Is there A/C in the rooms?
    Hello, Thank you very much for your message, Yes we do have A/C in our private rooms as well in our bed dorm =)
    Answered on 23 February 2022
  • How long does it take to walk to the bars/restaurants in La Punta?
    Thank you for the question. The walk is about 15-20 minutes depending on if you are walking up or down the hill to get to the beach, it is less than 5 minutes on a bike or in a taxi.

Villa Bonobo is located in a quiet area and some some of the best views of Puerto you will find. You can guarantee that you will be able to relax but also La Punta in only a 10 minute walk away if you want to go to the beach or any of the many restaurants and bars. The house offers everything you need, with a pool that is perfect temperature all year around, SkyTV, a full kitchen, included breakfast and so much more! The rooftop bar offers some of the best sunsets anywhere on the Pacific coast and is open on selected nights so you can meet new people, enjoy a cocktail or beer and enjoy the sunset. All our rooms come with AC and a private bathroom so you will be comfortable and be able to escape the heat when you feel the need.
We are an experienced team, running Hostels and Hotels for years. We were previously running the well known Bonobo Surf House. We love to make your experience unique and can't wait to show you the real Puerto Escondido. We want to offer more than just an over night stay, we want to create a co-living community and hope you want to be part of it. We offer free breakfasts and do family dinners or bbq with our guests. We enjoy a nice afternoon chat or a margarita for sunset and take you out for dinner, hikes or other tours, parties and good times.
Our neighbourhood is very quiet and peaceful and offers some great nature areas to enjoy the real beauty of Puerto Escondido. La Punta and la Barra beach are in walking distance and we have an OXXO very close by! Restaurants and other shops are only 12 min walking distance.
