The cleaning staff was great. There are some areas in the bathroom that need more detailing, shower door, soap holder and toilet. Room 315 had a leaky faucet from tge first day. We told the housekeepers and front desk, y nada! The breakfast buffet was cold for the most part. There was a young lady who helped out the day that there was no buffet. She was fast, courteous and professional. Thank her please. We did but coming from the management would be nice. The pool bar areas need tidying up. Popcorn and trash were there overnight. I told the tall gentleman at the front desk the next day. Hehe...LOTS of cell phone usage bt staff in the dining room and reception areas. They need to be more aware of their surroundings and more attentive to guest traffic to convey a more professional atmosphere. Asley in tours was very professional and explained options very well. Thank you for listening.

If you dont mind to use the toilet with your partner able to see you pick room #7. The door doesnt close due to the bed being too close to the door. The bed cannot be moved. The air conditioning was leaking water. Only tiny drops. Im not the type to complaint so i didnt bother, slept to opposite side. Even though all rooms were occupied in 3 days the pool wasnt maintained, the waterfiltering was off so i didnt use it. I Never use a pool if water filtering system is not working. For the price you can stay, its walking distance to Oregano restaurant (breakfast & early dinning). 5 minutes to closing continental breakfast, my pregnant wife and i wouldve appreciated at least coffee. Not a simple sorry we're closed for breakfast! Curtesy is always appreciated. It doenst matter if you stay in Zoa (Michellin star winner) or here....what really matter is how you are treated were you stay. Casa kalmar offers coffee all day, heated pool until 11pm, soft music morning hours. Best stay overall.

Nuestra estancia en Hotel Playa Caracol, en Puerto Escondido (habitación 306), fue decepcionante. El hotel no es como se muestra en las fotos en línea. El estacionamiento es limitado y esto no se menciona al momento de reservar.

La actitud del personal, especialmente durante el turno nocturno, fue poco profesional y descortés. Además, encontramos cucarachas en la habitación y no recibimos seguimiento por parte de la gerencia tras reportarlo. Durante la limpieza, también retiraron una toalla personal que no pertenecía al hotel.

En nuestro último día de estancia, en el área de la piscina existen supuestas reglas, sin embargo, permiten el ingreso de cervezas en botella. Una de estas botellas fue arrojada y golpeó mi automóvil, y el hotel consideró que una simple disculpa era suficiente, sin asumir mayor responsabilidad.

En general, el servicio, la seguridad y la experiencia estuvieron muy por debajo de lo esperado.

Our stay at Hotel Playa Caracol in Puerto Escondido (room 306) was disappointing. The hotel does not match the photos shown online. Parking is limited and this is not mentioned during booking.

The staff attitude, especially during the night shift, was unprofessional and rude. We also found cockroaches in the room and received no follow-up from management after reporting the issue. Additionally, housekeeping removed a personal towel that did not belong to the hotel.

On our last day, there are supposed rules in the pool ar

Good Hotel

The hotel was handy to the adoquin and close to a place where I had a meeting scheduled. The pool water was clean (not cloudy) but there was a lot of debris floating in it, ie, palapa grass pieces and a cigarette butt. The tv only had 3 Sky TV channels.

The rooms have spider webs in the córners of the walls, doors. The ceiling fan dirty. The toilet no seat. When I asked about the toilet seat to one of the cleaning staffs. They said “the room is one of the economic room price”. I got so upset. The staff try to change the wording. I told him I didn’t pay cheap for the room.

This is a tough one. Lots of good things and lots of bad things. That’s why I rated it average. The checkin was good, and the room was good, nothing to complain about. However, regarding the room, it did not have a refrigerator. I knew that before booking this trip. I was hoping for a little better service down at the pool area. After several calls to the receptionist desk, they finally sent Angel. Even though he had only 15 days of experience, he did a good job, taking care of me, and the other guests down at the pool. I ordered a cheeseburger from Angel, and it was delicious, exactly how I ordered it. My room had a balcony, but there was no table or chairs to sit on. The way everything else was going I decided to not even try to fix the problem. I checked out the following morning and the daytime receptionist couldn’t even give me a receipt or call a taxi. He gave me a piece of paper with instructions on it as to how to get a receipt online. He told me to walk down a very steep road, and I would be able to hail a cab from there, terrible.

And if I had had a good experience there, I was planning to spend the rest of my three week vacation at that hotel. But sadly it was not to be. According to my very unofficial count, there were about 10 families there. And they did not have enough staff to handle them, even though the hotel has room for hundreds! 👎

The WORST PLACE EVER!!!!

The front desk attendant on arrival was very rude. I asked to speak to the manager and it was even worse, we just wanted a quiet room. Away from the street noise, it was impossible unless we pay more money. For us was a joke because you could tell the property was totally empty which was confirmed the next morning when we had breakfast and we stay waiting for a tour guide for about 2hrs. and nobody else showed up. Anyway, the room was dirty and they had to replace the sheets, no hot water, no telephone, dirty towels that have to be replaced. The bed mattress was like made of rocks. The curtains in the window was full of holes, no air conditioning and it was hot as hell. We have traveled all over the world, and stayed and so many different hotels, but this is by far the lowest of the lowest on every single aspect. I do not recommend this place not even to my enemy (I might have one). Please do you self a favor and there is so many other properties in better areas. In our second night we stay at the Rackaway Hotel and that place was really great.

fantastic pool and pool lounge area!

rooms are amazingly large and very nice at least on the 3rd floor and out towards water views. nice balcony to the view

beds were great

very nice place if you get the good rooms
its probably the best deal around for the price/convenience

not in an area you'd want to do much in, but an easy daytime walk to the supermarket which saved on cabs

they will call a cab for you from the lobby though and its cheap to anywhere

Not recommend it

When we arrived to our double bed room only one bed had pillowcases and the bed that had them were stained with makeup. The bathroom has mold on the walls. Bed was also pretty hard not comfortable. There was a rock in our hotel breakfast. Workers force you to give them tip and will follow you to your room if you dont tip. They cleaned out room and left the balcony door wide open with the curtains open. After staying from 2/10-2/14 they stole my Louis Vuitton sandals that had been in my bag the whole time.

I WOULD NEVER STAY HERE AGAIN.

Some staff at reception were unhelpful.

Booked an ocean view room. First two nights we couldn’t sleep as it was so noisy outside & there was a large vent in the bathroom wall to outside so felt like we were sleeping outside. We were moved room to a non ocean view room & were not refunded the difference in price.

Wifi was decent.

Starting to show it's age

The staff were excellent. The rooms were clean, but the hotel is starting to show it's age. Hotel needs newer furniture (or at least paint it) and needs new drapes and bedspreads. Food in the restaurant was expensive... but lot's of restaurants in town and along the beach area that are good. We loved the Caracol's pool, but not the hard wooden beach lounge chairs.

the Caracol is a special place-not too “deluxe” but not too basic to be enjoyable, and the location is perfect! The view of the sea from the hotel, and especially the restaurant patio, is unparalleled .The hotel caters primarily to vacationing Mexicans, but as a “gringo” I felt welcome.
The only downside is that maintenance runs a bit behind,for instance a double curtain was needed to block out the balcony light that could not be extinguished, which was provided by staff when requested, the doorknob was loose,etc.
The staff is outstanding, and ready to help make this a great stay.

Room was very big with a partial sea view. The overall property seemed a bit old or not really in the best state. Breakfast had very limited options. Also location wise is quite in between - quite tricky to walk to the beach or the much nicer Zicatela area.
Staff wasn't able to speak one single word in english, which I find surprising in hospitality.

Great location but the service and amenities arent

The view was absolutely gorgeous! The restaurants has great food and the service is excellent. However, we had an issue with our room. The shower didn’t go all the way and there was barely any water coming out of it. The zinc’s cold water wasn’t working (it was 95 degrees and it was too hot to use the warm water), and the mini fridge wasn’t working either. When I approached the front desk about it and requested a different room, one of them closed their eyes and looked away. Then the other one was the one that told me that she was going to try to contact the maintenance gentleman as soon as she could. After that vague response I went back an hour later because I really needed to shower and she said he was busy but made no effort to contact him again until I told her I was going to wait until she got a response from him and that’s when she finally called him. We still had to wait half an hour until he got there. He was really nice and he fixed mostly everything. The shower was clogged so the water would come out outside the bathroom and when I told the front desk they said it was a common problem but it was not fixed... Its a great location but I wouldn’t stay here again. Plus they’re not very friendly to foreigners in terms of their customer service (only at the front desk)

Terrific stay with ocean view.

The hotel was really nice. We were nervous after reading some of the negative reviews, but we found everything to be excellent. The Wi-fi worked great in our room and we were expecting it to only work in the lobby. Great fast glass elevators. Nice pool with towels provided. The ocean view from the room was awesome. There was even a little refrigerator provided. The walk into town and the Playa Marinero was less than 10 minutes downhill, so it was a little tougher on the way back up.

Very nice facility near the main beach/port. Large, comfortable rooms with prompt and courteous service. The swimming pool is NOT deep. It's fine if you want to just cool off or do a few laps but at 4 ft. of depth if you jump in (or worse, dive in) you will strike bottom.

There are a few expensive, OK dining places on the main tourit corridor but to get good and tasty food at reasonable prices you need to get a couple miles out of that area

Nice location, spectacular view

The rooms were spacious and clean. However, the room key cards would constantly cease to function especially if they were placed near a cell phone. The restaurant on the top floor had a decent view of the beach and the food was good. However, the restaurant offered more Mexican type food than American type food. We visited on off peak season, so a lot of the services were unavailable like the buffet style restaurant and the bar by the pool. The gym and the laundromat were open though.

Has potential

This hotel looks decent online however in person it's dated. It's an ok room for an overnight trip but not a resort by any means. Pretty small and plain. Rooms are dated and resort was pretty dead with zero activities. We just stayed one night and I was ready to go the next day. If you're looking for a decent bed to sleep in, this is ideal. If you're looking for an actual resort, look somewhere else.
