Nomad Beach House - Hostel

It was dirty, no hot water, sintetic sheets and smelly. We had a water leak in the bathroom for the entire stay. Also the area looks like a favela, next to some sewers and stinky water. When we left we almost lost the plane cause of the guy at the reception that forgot to call us a taxi after we asked him 3 times.

Nomad Beach House. It´s actually a great, quiet central location between downtown/el Centro (and cheap markets, food and better WiFi) and Zicatela. It is in the Adoquin area which has lots of bars, restaurants, MiniShops, an Oxxo and Bank and ATM, etc.. Also 12-15 peso Colectivos are 5 minutes away. Closer to some of the nicest beaches in the area and it has great WiFi-Starlink.

Ok, so I haven’t even checked out yet, but I feel compelled to write a review. I do this because so often, I say I’ll leave a review and forget. I film travel videos for the budget traveler, and this one checks all the boxes. Style, substance, and overall affordability. I almost hesitate to leave a review on this one, because I hate to shine a light on my secret spot. But here we go… Nomad is located in the Centro part of Puerto Escondido, on Playa Principal. Its amazing location is smack dab in the middle of the “local” beach with great swimming, food, and vibes. Its location allows for cheaper local restaurants and groceries, all while being walking distance to some of the more tourist beaches. You CANNOT beat this location. The accommodation is trendy, clean, comfortable and the vibes are chill and very friendly. Speaking of friendly, what makes this place the absolute best, is the people. The staff is friendly and very accommodating. I’ve stayed in many places in Mexico, and even what is supposed to be some of the nicest places, sometimes appear a bit run down. This place truly gives off an authentic Mexican experience, that’s easily digestible for the finicky foreign traveler. With nods to surfing and a slower beach attitude, this place is the best. The restaurant has skilled cooks, and offers a wide variety of foods, from Poke Bowls, to tacos, to burgers and fries. Not only is the food good, but it’s probably the most reasonably priced on the beach, and the portions are tremendous. Don’t get lured in by the flash of Zicatella. Do yourself a favor and stay outside of the hustle and bustle and take a quick walk in. You won’t regret it!

Close to sea shore. Staff is very helpful and friendly

The water from the tap smelled like rotten eggs, so we didn't want to wash or shower with it. It is a hostal, so there was a tiny kitchen for people to use which usually looked pretty disgusting with clogged sink. The day we left at 5:30 am, went down to reception to call for taxi, several people were sleeping there. The pillowcases had fuzzy lint all over them that would stick to your hair and clothes.

Very relaxed location just a short walk from the beach. Our room was adequate for our needs, simple and safe place to call home base for our explorations. Shops, food, bank, massages and more just a short walk away. I forgot her name but the lady at the registration desk was FANTASTIC and so helpful with lots of helpful tips. Would stay here again if we ever find ourselves in Puerto Escondido.

This place is very close to the beach and nature. I saw one of the crocs! and lots of birds in the lagoon. Put on your suit and walk out into the waters of the Pacific. A friendly spot to meet fellow travelers. The common area is comfortable. The wifi is okay for down, but you'll want to go to one of the local coworking spaces for up. The kitchen is small but adequate.

I don’t recommend staying here.

Great place with kind staff
