You get what you pay for
I had to leave after one night. There were too many ants crawling on floor and wall. The hist moved me to the "upgraded" room but it had no AC and still had some ants crawling around. I guess if your expectations are really low it isn't bad. But if you are like me, that likes nice things -don't stay here

I like that it was close to the beach. I didn’t like that there was no hot water, bugs in the room and had to pay extra for A/C.

Bungalow beware! This room is the only one on the property that doesn’t have A/C and the windows only have screens, they don’t close. So if you’re looking for a quiet room with privacy don’t book this one. The curtains on the windows are so thin they’re see through so you cant really comfortably be in there. Also, because of this there are many mosquitos and ants that you just have to sleep with unfortunately. The staff is very friendly, but the listing should have more details regarding this particular room. The towel policy is two towels per three nights, we were surprised when they wanted to charge us extra for fresh towels. Again, the staff was very welcoming and the garden area is beautiful. The locations is also great with many places to eat, playa carizalillo at walking distance, and a tour/rental place as well. Overall the room is ok, but we were not aware of these details upon booking.

not the best service when it comes to being honest
We were told we had free breakfast and to come into the restaurant (We we’re leaving to go to meet a friend for breakfast) and then immediately afterwards we were told we had to pay as they made a mistake this was after being checked into the wrong room the day before I messaged the manager about my concerns and heard nothing back

Awesome little villa!
What a find! I could not have been more pleased by my stay in one of the comfortable and attractive little “villas”. Quiet, attractive and very well maintained. And the garden!! Beautiful and welcoming. The best hammock I have ever relaxed in! The breakfast was excellent, fair priced, delicious and plentiful. Loved the margaritas at the end of the afternoon in the adorable bar. Also, easy 5 minutes to the beach. I strongly recommend this charming and cosy hotel .

Friendliness of the staff was incredible. The BIG issue was that when we got there we were told that our room had been double booked. That meant we were not spending the night in our room. We had to spend the night in some else’s house. We were very disappointed and we will never go back.

Great beach location
The staff were extremely friendly and accommodating. The grounds of the hotel are gorgeous, it’s basically a jungle with common areas filled with books and hammocks to relax in. Would be nice to have a/c as there was a unit installed but didn’t seem to function. The breakfast was also delicious and very affordable. We would go back for sure.

Nice bungalow close to beach and restaurants
Really enjoyed my bungalow and stay. Check in staff was really nice. Close to the beach and quiet. Nice little eating area. Only recommendation I would make to the staff would to be to have better lighting at night. It's pretty dark and the bungalows are located off a secluded street. Otherwise, I enjoyed my stay and plan to return!

The staff was absolutely friendly and wonderful. The morning breakfast was always delicious and presented well. It was a 5 minute walk, with steep stairs, to a delightful beach and bay to swim. Good restaurants next door and a quick taxi ride to the surfing beach and tourist area. The bungalow didn't have air conditioning but there was a ceiling fan so it was not too hot at night. The garden area was charming even though there is not a pool to sit by. I would stay here again.

Friendly, limited, accommodations
The room was spacious and comfortable. The ceiling fan provided ample cooling for my taste. One room has a good fridge. Space is limited here-3 rooms, I think, and only 2 are really desirable. The hostesses are extremely nice and accommodating; the breakfast, which apparently is locally known, is excellent.

Convenient to beaches and shops but needs AC!
Coming in, I knew there would be no AC. I thought that I could tolerate this since I stayed on the beach in the Philippines without AC. But this is different. That building was a hut made of bamboo and this one was a concrete building. The building absorbs a lot of heat and remains hot throughout the night. The fan is strong, but without AC and a room that probably hovers around 32 C you will be very hot. I think for the price I paid, they should provide it. Otherwise the room is clean and very close to shops and good restaurants. The fabulous beach is a short walk. I would also have liked curtains for the shower because water gets everywhere, and a small fridge for each room or at least one large fridge for all the guests.

Great location, disappointing property
While this is in a great location, the rooms/property itself are in need of some upkeep. Lots of light bulbs that were out, leaky toilet, broken furniture, etc. Just some general, pretty obvious repairs that would have made our stay more comfortable and pleasant. I can't imagine owning a hotel, seeing these basic problems and not fixing them immediately... Really seemed like no one cared. The gardens and staff are lovely but the room (one of the suites) was a little dark and depressing. Not a huge deal because you're a block away from one of the best beaches in Mexico so you'll probably be spending most of your time there.

Simple and Pretty Hotel Next to the Beach
The hotel grounds are beautiful, with sculptures and plants everywhere. Our room was clean and nice, although the pretty stone shower attempted to exist without a shower curtain and the whole bathroom would get wet. There are fans but not AC so it would often get very hot. The women running the hotel were extremely helpful and patient, however, everyone disappeared after late afternoon and we couldn't ask anyone for dinner recommendations, etc.

The hotel staff made our trip....
Acacia the girl in charge of the place , was the nicest and sweetest person that we've ever run to when away on vacation. She made us feel completely at home. We would come back and stay here at Villa Mozart and Macondo just to visit and say hi to Acacia. The grounds of the hotel were very accomodating, the only bad thing that i found about the place was not having a/c in the room besides that everything was excellent. Having a cup or two cups of coffee in the morning with toast with either strawberry or guava jelly on the side at their restaurant was to die for. They always kept the room clean everyday. We have no complaints at all from this place.And if you happen to stay here pelase tell Acacia her friends from Las Vegas said hello !

Not bad...
Close to the best beach and surrounded by great food. room was clean, kinda felt like you were staying at a friends house. No a/c, but had a strong fan that made the heat bearable. Staff spoke zero English...so wasn't able to take advantage of the free breakfast...but if u want a cheap place to stay with the bare necessities, it's a good choice.

Comfortable with delicious, freshly cooked Mexican - but not large - breakfasts. Quirky artwork throughout. Extremely helpful staff. Amazing location right in the heart of the colonial city but with rooms around a quiet courtyard so no noise disturbance. Highly recommended.

Good hotel close to Carrizalillo beach
Villa Mozart y Macondo is a 7-unit hotel just two short blocks from the stairs to Carrizalillo beach, perhaps the best beach in Puerto Escondido. I rented through Expedia. The price was good and I had no problems with the reservation. The rate included breakfast of toast, jam and coffee each morning, with several larger and good breakfasts available for 80 pesos more. We stayed in room # 4, ground level, with a king size bed. There is adequate water pressure and hot water. The room opens to the garden and also through a short corridor to the Rinconada, where there are many good restaurants. Taxis are plentiful. There was no air conditioning so the room was warm in the evening, but the overhead fan helped and it cooled off in a few hours. The hotel seemed quiet and we liked all of the staff we met.

Good location and breakfast
This hotel is located in a quiet neighborhood near restaurants, small shops and Playa Carrizalillo. The taxi took us to the back door on Benito Juarez, which we were able to use after we checked in, but the front entrance is actually on Av. Las Tortugas. The breakfasts included with the room are mainly toast and coffee, however, we purchased full breakfasts at a good price.
