Posada EL Secreto - 70947 Mazunte

Unfortunately we had a bad experience. Place is cheap but the room was dirty, the shower wasn't working and there was no light inside. There was no place where to hang a towel in the bathroom, not a chair or a little desk in the room. Could not charge my phone. The cleaning lady was rude and she didn't clean or fix anything. We left after the first night. Ah there's not reception for the check-in or check-out so you must call a number and wait.

This is a poorly maintained hostel and not recommended. It was extremely smelly - the drain in the bathroom gave off a bad odor, and you can’t comfortably open the window because of mosquitos. It’s the type of place where they’re like “please clean up after yourself and any items you use in the kitchen” but they don’t bother to provide even a sponge or dish soap. The room is bare bones and we weren’t expecting really anything because it was so cheap, but we had at least hoped it would be a clean place to sleep. The pillows wreaked of the sweat of other travelers, it was so gross. There is no reception, you just receive a text in poorly translated English with confusing instructions. If you ask any clarifying questions the response is “I already sent you the complete info above”.

Very central and great rates. Yes it’s a little rough around the edges, but perfect for my 3 week stay. Cynbe was very communicative and helpful when needed.
