Laura and Ulises (and Chula, their dog) were amazing hosts, super accommodating and were very helpful when we had travel difficulties from Oaxaca. They have great contacts for experiences in the area, we recommend surfing! The hotel was beautiful, very clean and we loved the ‘guest house’ vibe and laid back nature. There are also beach chairs and umbrellas available for use which was really helpful in the heat. The location was great, near lots of restaurants and bars and just a short taxi ride to swimmable beaches. The pool and view of the beach and sunsets made for a perfect stay.

Perfect spot for a relaxing vacation. The grounds are beautiful with lush plants and lots of spots to hang out. Rooms were very clean and nicely decorated. Felt really luxurious. The pool was refreshing and clean. Staff was welcoming and friendly. Kitchen is well equipped for preparing your own meals, but come prepared with groceries. The small store nearby does have some essentials, but selection is limited. The restaurant nearby was good. Highly recommend if you're looking for a quiet and secluded getaway.

The location, the hospitality, the view.

Lovely property, extremely pleasant staff

Well, this has to be one of the best places we’ve ever stayed. I say ‘place’ and not hotel, because really, it feels more like you’ve come to stay at your (very) cool friends house. Raiz had only just opened as we arrived. It popped up on booking.com the day before and we booked it nervously because, well the photos looked amazing but it had no reviews. Best decision we made this trip. This project has been a labour of love for the young team and you can feel every ounce of love and thought they have poured into it. When you stay, ask them the beautiful story of why it’s called Raiz (Roots). You can see from the photos how beautiful the space is, the rooms, the bar, the pool area, every tiny aesthetic thought about. What you can’t see is the atmosphere they have created. Filled to the brim with thoughtfulness and care everybody connecting and enjoying the space together. Helped along generously by the superb bar and the delicious concoctions that flow out of it. I can highly recommend the Brebaje, a mezcal cocktail with Oaxacan mint that is good for digestion, it’s basically medicine. In fact everything here, the food and the drink is all steeped in Oaxacan tradition. Whilst we were there the restaurant was yet to open in the evening (this was happening at the end of Jan). However, as we were on our honeymoon they treated us to a sneak peak at what they would be offering and organised us a candlelit 5 course tasting menu on the roof. WOW. We knew it would be good because the brunch and lunch menu was so delicious but WOW. Once they open for food this place will be buzzing. The extra level of care is what this team have got down to a ‘T’ the service is magnificent. They really couldn’t do more for you and it is why we doubled the length of our stay and are already planning on when we will go back. Thank you guys for the most memorable stay x

Really friendly, helpful staff. Great location and amenities. Excellent air conditioning and all very new and nicely decorated.

I felt like I was in a 5 star hotel, best sleep I’ve had in Mexico so far! Huge bed with comfortable mattress and had a mix of pillows (hard and soft). The rooftop terrace I only discovered on my last day but sat up there reading a book until my late bus to Oaxaca. They also have hammocks up there! Great for sunset. Yes, the location is a little bit far away from the busier beaches, but you can swim at the one nearby and also learn to surf there. It’s only 5-6 minutes walk away. There is a great bakery in the Main Street, and right next door THE BEST cafe in the whole of Puerto Es. and English speaking too with English menu too. The lady that runs that cafe is super sweet! As a sooo female traveller that’s not so much into the party scene, this was absolutely perfect. Could not fault it. Will stay again for sure!

Food was excellent. Service people were very friendly and helpfull. The hotel is very comfortable and quiet. Rooms were nicely decorated and comfortable. A great place to stay.
