We just came back from a week in Puerto Escondido accompanied by 4 family members. We had the great pleasure to find rooms at this fabulous hotel, run by Joanne and Paul the most pleasant hosts we have ever encountered.... It is a simple place, beautifully decorated , very clean and a block from the beach...The additional advantage is a wonderful restaurant with extremely good food (often the fish waqs caught that morning) fresh vegetables, pleasant atmosphere... This will remain our hotel of choice.

My husband and I decided on a two week holiday in Puerto Escondido. We wanted to find a hotel that made us feel that we were really in Mexico. We wanted something special! Somewhere that had some Mexican charm! We found it at "Flor De Maria in Puerto Escondido. This hotel was situated in a very central location, close to everything we needed. It was very close to the beach which was the main reason we decided to book our stay. When we arrived we were greeted by a very friendly young woman. On the way to our room we noticed the beauty of the place. There was an inner open air courtyard with a towering palm tree and lovely flowers and plants everywhere. Up on the roof top terrace we could enjoy a sun set every night while relaxing in a beautiful turquoise hammocks. There was even a roof top pool to enjoy. We loved having our morning coffee and a full breakfast at the airy cafe on the first floor of the hotel. What made our vacation even more special was the kindness shown by all the people that worked at the hotel. If you are looking for a really relaxing place for your vacation, you won't be disappointed. We loved our stay and I am certain you will too.

Paul & Joan at Hotel Flor De Maria greeted each one of us warmly, as we gathered in Puerto Escondido for a week of relaxation & classes. The Hotel's architecture is conducive to its location & warm climate. Hammocks beneath thatched palapa, adjacent to a swimming pool and a large covered patio make the rooftop a perfect perch for classes, relaxation, and cake by the ocean. We usually viewed sunsets at the beach just a 2 minute walk below but the rooftop is a suitable option, with great views! Food at the Hotel was delicious & the staff friendly. Rooms were clean & comfortable, with high ceilings.

My husband and I just spent four days at the Hotel Flor de Maria in Puerto Escondido, and fell in love with it. The rooms are very basic, but the hotel is artistically decorated and wonderful, but it's the pool and hammocks on the rooftop that are the best. In the heat of the afternoon, we lazed away having drinks, watching the ocean and listening to the surf. The only downside was that once some guests got a hammock, they never let it go, and there were only five hammocks to share. When booking this hotel, I hadn't realized it was quite so close to the beach, so this was a very pleasant surprise. The owners, Paul and Joanne, are helpful and go out of their way to make sure you know how to get around town, know of the various tour options and will even make the reservations for you. Joanne is an amazing chef, and even with the wide choices of restaurants in town, you'll want to eat several of your meals here as the menu changes each day. I have never before received a hug from a hotel owner when checking out, but that completely typifies the relaxed, welcoming atmosphere in this little treasure. Don't go without reservations, they were booked the entire time we were there. We would most definitely recommend this hotel and will stay there again if we ever return to Puerto Escondido.

We loved the hotel, it was very clean and the view that we got was awesome. Actually There is only one room that has a little balcony and we got it ;) The restaurant was very good and totally inexpensive. The Canadian owners were very helpful and polite. The pool is the best!! Located on the roof of the 3 story hotel, has a great view of the beach Marinero and the hills behind BahÃa Principal. There is like 5 hamocks next to the pool and underneath a palapa were you can relax and read a book or just take a peaceful nap.
The few downsides about the hotel were that there is not air conditioner, so it was extremely warm at night and even with the ceiling fan we were sweating a lot. Because we had lo leave the windows open to get some air current circulating we could hear all the noises from the little creatures on the beach. My wife had a problem with that since she is a light sleeper, but I actually liked hearing the sound of the waves crushing at the shore.
To get to the plata Marineros you have to go trough this unpaved alley that is very dirty and about 100 feet from the beach, be very careful walking barefoot since there is all kind af glass and gabage laying around. I was not impressed by Playa Marineros since it was also dirty, the boogie boarding was good though. I liked Zicatela much more for it's cleanliness and the surfer atmosfhere, but if you want to relax and swim in a nice and calm beach go to Playa Carrizalillo!! Here is a map so you can see what I'm talking about.

We just arrived from Mexico (August 14th). We spent 11 days at the Flor de Maria. We went with 3 kids and we have not ONE complain!! The food is excellent! Every night a different choice (HOMEMADE!! with fresh products from the market!). The hotel not only is CLEAN, it smells clean too!! The staff is friendly and always ready to help. THe owners make you feel at home and share tips about beaches and restaurants (YES! Even if they have a restaurant there they don't mind sharing with you who/where the other restaurantes are!). THe hotel in itself is an exposition of art... tasteful pictures painted on the walls, colorful columns decorating the interior patio. On the top there is a little but very (VERY) inviting pool after a day at the beach. From the hammock you can enjoy the breeze with a view of the sea... I spent the late-afternoon hours there day dreaming!! Flor de Maria... we will go back!!

We have stayed at the Flor de Maria for 10 winters. What a great place to visit. The owners and staff are our friends. We look forward to each visit. What a great place to relax. It is great walking distance to all parts of town. The resturant is a great place to eat.Alex and his bar is the place you want to spend a hot afternoon and gather to see people for a before dinner drink. We have talked about our great vacation spot. We now have 3 other couples from Ames wanting information aout the area. Across the street from the Maria-is a great coffee shop. Our friends think it like reading one of Hemingway's novels-because of the interesting people one meets in the little cafe-across the street from the Maria. Don't expect posh-like Cancun. Flor de Maria is neat ,clean and quaint. A wonderful place to spend a relaxed vacation.

I literally stayed at the FDM 2 years ago and I think about it all of the time. It is gorgeous, the owners amazingly helpful (we did not find them stand-offish in the least), and so relaxing. I would return in a heartbeat and have sent everyone going to PE there. Just one word of caution... I nearly drowned at the beach boogie-boarding in July. Be very careful, my gringa swimming non-skills nearly cost me my life! But at least I had the wonderful FDM to come back to! The place across the dirt road IS amazing for breakfast, as another review also said. The french toast or fruit and granola was amazing, the staff slendid! I miss Mexico!

My husband and I stayed at the Hotel Flor de Maria the first week of March 2003. We love you, Paul, Joanne, Alex, and all of the staff there. Oh, and Puchi too! (Their parrot.)I had done a lot of research on the hotels in PE and decided on Hotel Flor de Maria because it seemed a nice blend of small hotel, yet with great amenities, like a swimming pool. Plus, the location is perfect. Between the Adoquin and Playa Zicatela. The afternoon part of the day was spent up on the third floor with the swimming pool and the bar. Perfect and intimate. Hammocks, a great view and great sangria! Well, O.K., great mojitos too.Paul and Joanne, the owners, are just the nicest people and they make you feel totally welcome. A real bonus is the Cafecito, right across the street, where you can get a wonderful breakfast, fresh fruit, and Oaxacan coffee for about $2.50.I cannot praise this hotel enough. Dave and I will be returning for the international surfing competition (to watch) in November 2004 and we will definitely stay there again.

We recently returned from a week in Puerto Econdido where we stayed at the Flor de Maria. We found that our accomodations turned out to be one of the highlights of our trip. The hotel itself is absolutely charming with its beautiful courtyard and hand painted doors. With only twenty-eight rooms we had soon met almost all the guests either at the restaurant or roof top pool and bar. It gave the place the feel of a bed and breakfast. Our hosts, Joanna and Paul could not have been more helpful or friendly. If you are looking for a holiday in Mexico where you actually spend most of your time interacting with Mexicans in an intimate yet very real setting, then this is the place for you. Craig & Heather
