    Excellent location if you wanna be close to the beach and the main Rinponcito street, but in Mazunte everything is fairly close. Room was spacious, clean, body&hand soap and shampoo provided, even blankets for the beach.

    More seating space needed in the kitchen/lounge area, maybe an extra hammock and or lounge chair.

    This place exceeded all expectations. The location is incredible, right opposite the beach, you can see the beach from the kitchen window and hear the waves. Centrally located so you can easily walk to the Main Street. The room and bathroom was very modern, the bed was huge and comfortable. Great kitchen with all the appliances. The hostess, Sulima was exceptionally attentive, and only too happy to help and make sure our stay was comfortable, always asking if there was anything we needed. We extended our stay by 3 extra nights as we just loved this place!

    We spent a wonderful four nights at Casa Gaviota. Our host was extremely helpful letting us check in early and even offered room service during our stay. We are very sad to be leaving and will be dreaming of our stay for a very long time! Thank you for everything!

    Nothing.

    It is really close from the beach. You can just hear the waves. Shame I did only book one night here, because I would stay a full week there. Room very clean and modern.

    - like many places in Mexico, there is a loud chicken making noises in the morning, from one of the neighbouring properties. No dogs barking here though! :) - Also common in Mexican beach destinations, the shower and sink tap water pressure is quite low, and there’s no hot water. It takes time to get the sand off your body, and the food off your dishes - live music from nearby properties can sometimes be heard until 11pm - midnight. The artists were good, and I didn’t mind, cause I was staying up till then anyways. - It is a very nice cabaña style building, not an air conditioned and sealed hotel room. So you need to be okay with a few bugs here and there. I did not feel like it was too bad though. You’re at a tropical beach so what can you do. Summary If I came back to mazunte I would definitely come here. I prefer puerto Escondido though, as it has far more food options and things to do.

    - Can’t beat the location, just a few steps from the beach and many restaurants - Swilma the hostess is super nice, friendly, helpful, and respectful of my space. She does her own thing and is quiet and cool. But she helped me with information and directions multiple times. - The room is spacious and clean and higher quality than most places I have stayed in Mexican beach destinations - The king sized bed was large, firm, and comfortable. The pillows were also large and firm, and 4 pillows was very very nice to have. The linens are also of high quality cotton, they are soft and fantastic! - The wifi was fantastic 90% of the time, and when it wasn’t, swilma helped me switch to another network

    No A/C. I knew that in advance of staying. The location is hot and humid.

    The location is very close to the beach. You can hear the waves breaking in the evening. It is a quiet location.

    Casa Gaviota is a magical place. The space is so minimal, clean, stylish and comfortable. I felt at home. It’s located right by the beach, with a beautiful view from the kitchen. Suilma was so welcoming, she was always so kind and responsive. Can’t wait to come again.

    Casa Gaviota is right next to Riconcito's beach and to the main street with all restaurants, cafés and shops. A perfect location if all you want to do is go swimming, relax and go out. The rooms are super comfortable and temperature is quite cool inside. The host is incredibly nice and helpful at all times. Truly recommend this spot!

    Loved this stay! The location is excellent- maybe a minute or 2 walk to the beach. Super close to restaurants and shops. The bathroom light was not working when I first got there but Suilma was quick to get it fixed and was super nice as well. Everything was amazing and high recommend staying here.
