Great trip over New years. Grounds are real nice up top where the hotel is. Rooms are small if more then 2 people and no balcony. Clean and well kept. Beach area is down below and very pretty. The pool is a bit dated but all good. The waves varied from none, to pretty big and crashing abruptly. Food, no... more

Posada Real Puerto Escondido, this is it. Beautiful grounds, staff was friendly, helpful, available, and knows your drink in no time. Spectacular sunsets, the beach at the beach club is wonderful, rocky beach, great waves. The climb back to the hotel could be a workout, and a van is available. Rooms are basic and built for the beach, but who... more

Rooms are small and old style: didn't like the secured remote, no in-room safe; if 6ft and taller or bigger size, this is not the place for you. Grounds, pools are beautiful. Food/bar staff are great, front desk speak limited English. On-site travel agency is limited multi-lingual. Ask about real estate and get a fantastic tour of PXM for under... more

I have visited the Mayan, Cancun area 10 times but had never been to the Pacific coast of Mexico. I decided on Escondido for 2 reasons, 1 to surf, and 2 because a friend had lived there for 3 years and said it was a great place. The surfing is fantastic with many beaches to try, starting from Zicalito the... more

We had two quiet weeks at the Best Western Posada Real in Puerto Escondido. Escondar, in Spanish, means hidden, and that it was. Hidden from the beach vendors who constantly intrude on your enjoyment of beach time. The hotel is on a cliff, with 103 steps down to the super wide, and long, pristine beach. A shuttle was available, but... more

Well, as much as I was glad to be on the ground due to a real shaky landing, I wasnt that impressed when we got there. As soon as we stepped off the plane, we were told that we had a 2 hour van ride through the most twists and turns I've ever been on. Half of the passengers in... more

We have stayed here in past years and so we were hoping it was a beautiful as we remembered. It was better!!! The gounds were immaculate, the hotel has been painted, there were new lawn chairs and more of them. The staff was basically the same, friendly and helpful with many familiar faces. January is their slow time and so... more

We booked a one week all-inclusive holiday at the Posada Real through Sunwing (a Canadian tour operator) and it was an amazing week, exactly what we were looking for (thanks Trip Advisor reviewers). (The Sunwing part of the trip (ie the flights) were another story-- delays, chaos etc.) The Posada Real is peaceful, serene, relaxing, and thus not for those... more

We have a large family with kids of all ages and there was something to do for all of them. Volleyball, pool, games, soccer and of course the beach. The staff was excellent and and friendly to us all. We could relax on our vacation, enjoy family, and have some quiet time too knowing our kids were safe, being treated... more
