We traveled during the last week of November....a very slow time with few tourists. We were trying to decide between Quinta Lili and Flor de Maria. We are so happy we stayed at Flor de Maria. Quinta Lili is far from the center and a lot of the activities ...and the walk from the nearest beach can be daunting....75 steps straight up. Flor de Maria is within a block of the main beach and we could walk to Zicatella beach easily. The sunsets from the rooftop bar are worth the stay. We were there during a quiet time so there was no one "hogging" the chairs --- no old codgers in the hammocks. The hosts were very friendly and helpful. The rooms very large. We had a room with 2 double beds and a balcony which gave us lots of light. Liked the restaurant too. Our breakfast had the freshest of fruit and great egg dishes. Definitely will return.

This charming, Canadian-run hotel is on a quiet street just steps from a wide, sandy beach. The hotel has a Mexican 1940s art deco feel to the place. The Crown jewel is the restaurant, which is the best in Puerto Escondido and tends to offer more European than Mexican fare. Joanne, one of the hotel's owners, is the chef. Her husband Paul is the front desk man. They are fabulous hosts. The rooms are spacious although there is no air-conditioning so fans are necessary to keep the temperature down. There is a rooftop pool surrounded by a large deck overlooking the ocean. A perfect place for lounging in the afternoon and having a sunset cocktail.

We have been coming to PE for about 7 years, always staying at Flor de Maria. What a wonderful place! Situated between 2 different beaches with a fabulous restaurant, maybe the best in town. Everyone here is warm and inviting. We love coming here.

We fell into Flor de Maria, unexpecting and found the most wonderful oasis. Lovely staff, comfortable rooms, great location and fabulous roof-top pool from where we could watch the sunrise and sunset, along with family, friends, and anyone who wanted to join. Don't miss it. Great local flavor yet a notch above "local".
