Las Turquezas Apartment Rentals - 71983 Puerto Escondido

Absolutely loved staying here in August. Super close to everything, and a taxis drove by right outside. You can walk to Carrizalillo, but if it’s a super hot day, wear appropriate clothing, even though it’s a short walk, that sun beats down on you. The place is super clean, very well kept. Definitely staying there again.

This place is run by K, a European woman who most reviewers have deemed super nice. I am sure she can be. However, I fear that the success of her lovely place has robbed her of the human touch she might have once had. The excess in demand has perhaps given her a license to not care as much as before. This is my conjecture. In her treatment of us, let me be clear, there was no mean-ness. Just the cold, inflexible manner of an effective East India Company book keeper in the Belgian Congo. The human cost in travellers' dismay is indifferent to her as her well oiled machine turns and turns as a gear in the soul-less capitalist machine that will transform the once hospitable coast of Oaxaca into the next Cancun. This is no fault of her. Make no mistake, worldly traveller. The coast of Oaxaca is now a seller's market. Rental Place Administrators will charge you a pretty penny and treat you like data on a spreadsheet. If you are not willing to take it, there is absolutely no incentive for remorse: A covid-weary crowd of Manhattan, dollar-paid, digital nomads is queing behind you. When we booked throughTrip Advisor we were charged ~90 bucks/night, which sounded fair. But once we contacted her, she told us that the price was actually ~1.5x more than the advertised price. She also told us that she would not take responsibility for the money already charged. When we complained, she did not flinch. She did not budge a dime or a nickel. We had to pay full price. But the place is nice: it has a clear, well kept, chlorinated pool and an impeccably kept english lawn that is as soft as a Casper Mattress: with just the right sink, and just the right bounce. It has very good internet. So, despite having felt that the Universal Rights of the Traveller's had been violated, we chose to stay. As should you.

Las Turquezas apartments are fantastic. Great size for our family of 4. Delightful pool and grounds, friendly and caring hosts and nice location between Rinconada and Bacaocho. The upper floors have lovely balcony views. Highly recommend.

We have stayed at Las Turquezas three times. The pool is nice and location is great. My concern is that because they do get so many guests, they are starting to forget what used to made them so great. Cleaning was done really badly, the loo got blocked several times. I also think they would really benefit from getting new towels, bed linen, dishes, etc. They do not offer an invoice, but they should. Hosts used to be super kind but this time there was a lady checking constantly on us who was not very kind. -Typically check out in Mexico is at 12 pm but they did ask us to leave at 11 am.-

We stayed for a month at las Turquezas in the third floor, and we LOVED it. It was amazing waking up in the mornings and enjoying the beautiful views of Playa Coral in your personal hammock and terrace. We also enjoyed the location, it’s really close to many restaurants in La Rinconada and excellent bakery and close to many different beaches to swim (Carrizalillo, Manzanillo, Coral) or just to go for a walk to enjoy the beautiful sunsets (Bacocho or Zicatela by car) The apartments have everything you might need including oven and washer/dryer that is not usually so easy to find in Puerto. Overall, the súper súper highlight of this spot Is the “homey” feeling you get and the greatest hosts ever Katrin, Lucano and their lovely kids that welcome you as a family. See you soon, it was great meeting you!!

We really enjoy coming here. Clean and spacious suite. Close to restaurants and the beach.

Well run, 7 unit building with beautiful and spotless 2 bdrm apartments and large patios (and pool). Awesome location with ocean views from the second and third floors. Across the street from access to my favorite beach, Playa Coral (via Hotel Villa Mexicana for a small fee). Good wifi. The owners and staff are amazing! We have stayed three times and will be back!

Best place we stayed in on our Mexico-Trip. Katrin is a very friendly and welcoming host. Additionally to that we loved the apartments, the pool and the garden, which is truly a gem! The Location is great and you have everything you need, including two beautiful beaches, nearby. The View from the Apartments is great and you have a spacious balcony to relax in this peaceful place. Can recommend to 100%!!
