One Love Hostal Puerto Escondido  

A budget-friendly hostel in Puerto Escondido, a short 5-minute drive from the town center and about 492 feet from Zicatela Beach. Puerto Escondido International Airport is under a 15-minute drive, making surf sessions and late arrivals easy.

Rustic Mexican-style bungalows with thatched roofs, hand-painted portraits and wooden furniture give the place a laid-back, artsy vibe. Rooms are compact and simple with modern bathrooms, a mini-fridge and two fans — note there’s no AC or hot water in the rooms.

On-site bar and restaurant, a garden and a common terrace with ocean views and hammocks — wake up to sea-breeze mornings. Wellness and activity options include a massage room, yoga area and a diving club; there’s also a library, tour desk and laundry service.

Free Wi-Fi is available on the property; ask at check-in for details.

An on-site restaurant and bar serve simple meals, and fresh seafood and classic Mexican dishes are easy to find around Zicatela and Puerto Escondido.
