Cocolia Hotel

Camino Mermejita s/n, Mazunte, Mexico
28 Rooms
Modern Design & Quiet
The Pacific coast of Oaxaca isn’t exactly undiscovered, but it’s pleasantly under-developed, probably because it’s still satisfyingly tough to get to. Boutique hotels were understandably rather late reaching places like Mazunte — in a tropical paradise like this, you’d be happy with the most rudimentary lodging. But the advent of a place like the Cocolia Hotel marks the beginning of a new era; finally this fantastic destination has a small but stylish and full-featured hotel to call its own.

To call this an eco-hotel would be an understatement. Electricity is limited to essential appliances only, and while on paper it’s close to the town and the beaches, it’s a steep climb back to the hotel, most easily accomplished via ATV — it’s twenty minutes or more on foot, with limited access by taxi. What you gain from all of this is a proper low-tech escape, and the kind of seclusion a more connected hotel can’t possibly match.

Naturally, Playa Mermejita beach is a strong attraction, as are those at Mazunte and San Agustinillo. But Cocolia is capable of offering a nearly self-contained experience, if a small-scale one. Each of its 28 bungalows feels private, even though they’re open to the breeze, and the views are impressive, both in-room and from the hotel’s central saltwater pool.

There’s a cocktail bar and a cascade of terraced lounge space, as well as a restaurant, whose menu combines Mexican traditions and contemporary health-conscious (and vegan-friendly) cuisine. And like any paradise, it’s blessed with all sorts of natural wonders, like Mazunte’s Sea Turtle Center and the stunning Ventanilla Lagoon.

This is an absolutely magical, beautiful hotel. I would love to come here again and again. Incredible views, gorgeous rooms, the most stunning views of the ocean you’ll ever see. Love the restaurant, and the staff was first class.

The views, the remote location. The food at the hotel restaurant was superb, better than anything we had in town. I love the conscious approach of the hotel, the rooms were beautiful.

The rooms and the property are both beautifully simple, clean, and well designed. I loved the inside - out concept. The views and echos of the waves crashing through the canyon below are beyond magical. The showers in the room are my absolute favorite part.
