It doesn’t have air conditioner.
The heart of Mazunte it’s very close, you can do everything by walking
Can't wait to return. HIGHLY recommend!


We got off the bus from Puerto Escondido and jumped into a taxi - we told him we wanted to go to Mazunte and he brought us here. He said he didn't have connections with them and he may even have been telling the truth, as he certainly didn't appear to be looking for a commission.
It was the start of rainy season, but the sun was still shining. Our room was on the second floor, at the top. There's no air-conditioning, just a mediocre fan and home-made mosquito nets (made from muslin). The only thing between us and the sky were red roof tiles. We did however have our own bathroom and our own hammocks (I became very fond of my hammock!). There is also no hot water - a sign proudly advertises this in reception. Washing your clothes in the toilet (I think they meant bathroom) is also forbidden - probably why there is no plug.
The location is fantastic - based as close as you can safely get to the beach, perched on a small ledge above the beach next to the famous turtle sanctury. The sandy beach is accessed by a small set of steps beside the restaurant.
The surf here pounds upon the shore however, if you watch the waves you can safely get in and out and if you stay beyond the surf you can safely swim. Unlike Puerto Escondido, I didn't experience any nasty undertow here.
On our second night, a massive thunder storm erupted, causing the waves to crash violently throughout the night. Lightening lit up our room and the thunder boomed loudly shaking the hotel. It was the tail end of a hurricane and made me very aware of what the "rainy season" really means . The rain was still torrential in the morning and we headed back up the coast.
Overall I would say, it is not the most comfortable establishment you will stay in. The lack of hot water makes it difficult to get rid of old sun lotion and sand. The lack of air-con makes the nights hot and sticky - the fan can't really cool you through the home made mosquito nets - and you definitely need them unless you want to be eaten alive. The final uncomfortable feeling is when they tell you that you need to lock all your valuables in the safe.
Having said that - the location is fantastic and Mazunte has some of the best food we had throughout our whole trip.
Mazunte is more of a back-packer location than a luxuty destination but the scenery is worth it. If you are looking for the hippy vibe - you will love it here, and location-wise you won't get better than Posada Ziga.
On the down side there was building work going on which spoilt the ambience. Rooms with better sea views were being renovated/built. The bar/restaurant was ungoing similar work. It will probably be really nice when it's all completed. The cost was 450 pesos which I think was a bit much but cheaper rooms we saw elsewhere were a BIG drop in quality.
The food was good and inexpensive


We stayed here in feb 2008 and loved it. The rooms are 350 pesos with bathroom. But we stayed above the reception in wooden, clean rooms with a view to the ocean. It has a fan, but you wont need it because there is always a breeze coming through so its never too hot.
The beach is amazing, THE backpacker destination with a laid back atmosphere and very low prices. We have been to the caribean too, 3x the prices for the same thing!
Ziga makes your bed every day, which didnt happen again anywhere else on this trip. Towels are given to you, if you want every day. The food at the restaurant is great and cheap.
Say hi to the friendly lady at the reception who is perfect in english (doesnt happen very often in mexico) and reads hermann hesse under her table.
overall: perfect place!
"Second floor rooms with balconies overlooking the beach are the best. Minimal cost difference between these and less desirable rooms."Read full review
