Beautiful space and hotel in a quiet corner of Zipolite. The staff were attentive and friendly, the room was spacious and comfortable, the food was excellent, and the ocean views are unbeatable. Can't wait to go back.

We had a nice week long stay in February at this hotel in a basic cabin. The room was large with stained concrete floors, separate bath area (also spacious) and two private patios, though we only used the one which entered into our room since the other one was just dirt. The room was quiet with a rustic design, on the ground floor, and in a building with 3 other rooms. It was also just steps from the beach. Housekeeping was great with consistent, daily service. Our towels were replenished when we wanted and soaps and shampoos replenished as needed. We had only two meals at the restaurant, one lunch upon arrival and breakfast on the day of departure. Both were good but on the pricier side for Zipolite. Two bottles of drinking water were provided daily and a water cooler was available to fill a reusable water bottle near the Mexoni gift shop. The only two minor issues was our room did not have a coffee maker (though I think upgraded rooms may have one) and coffee at the restaurant was approximately $5 USD, a little steep in my opinion. It would be nice if all rooms had complimentary coffee/tea. My last concern was that the staff contacted me via WhatsApp App to arrange for a taxi on our day of departure a few days prior. I expressed we wished to pay by credit card and was told that would be okay. On our departure it seemed no one had made arrangements, and though we again requested to pay by credit card, the taxi that arrived would only accept cash so we had to stop at an

This place was amazing. Would love to go again. Staff were really great and accommodating. The only small issue was not being able to get a seat on the beach because people would save spots with towels all day.

Fourth time at El Alquimista. The hotel is really showing its age. The recent storms have taken a toll. Instead of investing in the property each year, the property has stayed the same over the past four years. The fixtures and fittings are showing age, the menu hasn’t changed, the loungers are worn. I’m sad to say that my time at El Alquimista is over. On to find a new hotel in the area.

We love El Alquimista! This is probably the most luxurious place to stay in Zipolite and you will not be disappointed. Attention to detail and exceptional service is one of the key points for our recurring stays here. They truly take care of you! Two of our favorite staff are Louis & Cheely. They take excellent care of you in the restaurant and on the beach! After just day one they knew what we drank and what we liked. They just made life so simple and enjoyable for us. Louis had our umbrella and table waiting every day. With him we truly never needed for ANYTHING! Food here is EXCELLENT! The grounds here are just beautiful and well maintained! The front desk guys also do a wonderful job and can schedule transportation for you to and from the airport. Nothing like getting off the plane in HUX and having a smiling face holding a card with your name on it! El Alquimista makes it difficult for you to want to leave the property. The quality of services and food are hard to beat in this small town. The ambience is also just over the top! We loved all the candles at night and the refined vibe! This is our forever place in Zipolite!
