“Mar De Fondo struck me as a balanced choice in Puerto Escondido; it's close enough to Zicatela Beach but offers a sense of retreat. I appreciate the recent renovations that prioritize guest comfort, and the picnic area is a thoughtful touch for families or groups. The option for on-site massage adds an appealing layer of relaxation, especially after a day of exploring the nearby beaches.”
