Kelly Café and Marea Royal Hotel - 70934 Brisas de Zicatela

Great place for coffee or breakfast. No need to queue in the impersonal "cafecito". Good quality/price ratio. Friendly service by Octavio. Nothing negative about this place.

Great vibe and delicious food. Staff SUPER friendly and great English. I recommend the green juice.

I have been a regular at Kelly's Café for several months now. I love the amazing food, the attentive staff and the great relaxing vibe! Love you guys. Thank you for all you do! See you again soon!

Kelly is a great cafe in Puerto, the chef Octavio is incredible. Can’t recommend his fish tacos enough

We stayed in one of the rooms at Kelly's cafe. Karen, the owner has a vicious dog called Chico that bites people. It bit a customer on the hand and another female customer on the leg (I witnessed it) while we stayed there. It proceeded to attack our small dog who was on a leash when we entered the site one evening. We were then blamed by Karen for chasing it away as we were told it is a guard dog. One of the coffee girls called Kate's response was that it was fine as the dog "did not draw blood". This dog is going to cause some person serious harm if it is continued to be allowed to roam freely all over the place and bite people. One cannot allow for such a liability to exist in a cafe or hotel! It can ruin someone's business if the victim ends up in hospital! I am a doctor and I have treated several dog bites in my life.... Anyone who is remotely afraid of vicious dogs should stay clear. Karen started major building works without any warning. While I was consulting on a zoom call, unbearably loud drilling noise started right above the ceiling in our room. When I asked for a small grace period the next day to work (as I already had international meetings booked) I was told to check out. Never before have I been treated with such disrespect. Again we were blamed for our small dog being attacked by the psycho dog. There was another guest with a 3 year old who was out of control, frequently exhibiting violent behaviour and who hit our little dog. I reprimanded her in front of the mother - Karen accused me of attacking the child which is absolutely ludicrous. I went on my knees, met her at eye level and shouted at her to never ever hit our little dog again. The problem with this place is that it has the negative energy similar to some cult or a convent where no justice is considered in any event. The staff will inevitably side with and protect each other at the expense of the customer. It is a very strange set-up indeed. Maybe one would not pick up on the dark energy over a day or two but after three weeks it had become very evident. Kate the coffee girl was caught tip toe-ing to our bedroom doors and eve's dropping to report back anything of interest to the staff and other guests! If privacy matters, this is not the ideal type of accommodation. Karen tried to charge us for an extra night after we left (claiming we did not tell her we did) when she had told us to leave immediately! Obviously we would not pay this and to be clear, we paid her in full minus 10% for the last two nights for the building works kicking off, which in my view was over-generous of us. The room is still stood empty, a week after we have left. The good thing is that we made a wonderful circle of new friends outside of this enclosure, in Puerto Escondido and are returning next month to visit them all. One member of staff called Jerry-Lynne gets 5 stars. She was always friendly, helpful and attentive.

This is a really Chill Spot owned by a very sweet lady. You can tell how much she cares for her neighborhood and her couple rentals and Cafe. Service was excellent, food was spot-on. Great location in chill atmosphere. They are redoing the patio now which I'm sure will turn out beautifully! Thank you so much for having me.

This is a beautiful small hotel with a great location that I highly recommend. The owner and staff are super professional and friendly and go out of their way to give an extra personal touch. The kitchen is delicious, I have been here for a month and have tried just about everything on the menu. I recommend Kelly's to my friends and will definitely come here again. Thank you so much for everything!

Kelly Cafe and Marea Royal Hotel became a second family to me. If you are looking for a place to rest, breath and feel at home when you are away from home look no further. Karen ( the owner) has a heart of gold and has made her self a anchor of stability and consistency for travelers that need a small and intimate place to stay. This is not your average big fancy place nor is it a hostel filled with digital nomads; its a place where friendships can grow and people can connect. I look forward to visiting again!
