I really think Descalzo is the best value for money you will find in Zipolyte. It’s a beautiful, family run hotel in a fantastic location half way along Zipolyte beach. The rooms are spacious and sensitively designed. Beds are superb and showers are strong. The upstairs rooms don’t have air con but they have a better view of the sea. Downstairs rooms are a little smarter with air con and a bathtub but have less of the treehouse feel to them. I love both.

Had a great time at Descalzo! Will definitely go back next time in Zipolite. Beautiful facilities. Reception staff could communicate/coordinate better amongst themselves - one person tells you one thing and another tells you they have no idea what their colleague promised. Only comment is that the food at the bar and restaurants associated to the hotel are pricey compared to options nearby and service wasn't always great.

When I return to Zipolite, I will be staying here. I loved my room that looked out onto the ocean. It’s set right about the middle of the stretch of beach so you can walk in either direction and explore. It’s just a few steps to the beach itself. They have a small pool under a canopy of palm trees that is great for cooling down from the afternoon heat. The restaurant and bar that are right on the beach in front of the hotel have a delicious menu. The staff really went out of their way to make sure I had a great stay. I would highly recommend this hotel.

Hotel Descalzo is in an excellent location on the beach close to town. It has a restaurant and bar on the beach and you can sign the bill to your room. It is very rustic and authentic Mexico. The beds have mosquito nets around the bed and a ceiling fan above the bed. The downsides are there are mosquitoes and it is close to Maximas which has drag shows and music that goes until 2am. Then at 5am the roosters wake and the dogs start barking so ear plugs are recommended if you have trouble sleeping with such noise.

The hotel was located in a very nice magical setting. The beach is across the hotel so you sleep and wake up with the sound of the waves. You also wake up to the sound of a rooster that is around there. Everything is very walkable however there are 2 bars near the hotel so it tends to get a bit loud. Ask for a room in the back either #12 or #10 less vibrations from the music lol Also don't forget your mosquito repellent I was eaten alive :)

Amazing

What a treat to stay here for two nights, and I wish it was more. With no air and coming from snow country, I was surprised how comfortable the netted bed with ceiling fan within the “tent” would be. Beautiful room, grounds, and just 20 yards from a beach tiki bar/outdoor restaurant. The best stop on my 26 day, 10 hotel trip!

An almost perfect stay.

I was disappointed with the lack of WiFi and the fact the pool was never cleaned and open during our stay. Office staff seemed unconcerned that these two advertised amenities were issues. It was more that they hear the complaints all the time and are numb to the questions. With that said the cabanas and property are clean and maintenance/housekeeping staff are wonderful. Perfect central location right on the beach. No AC, but double fans (inside and outside mosquito netting surrounding bed) make a comfortable stay. All you need is a tooth brush, flip flops, cash for food and liquor, and a bathing suit… and that’s optional!
