Cabañas Punta Placer

Best views right on the beach. Child friendly beach, great service. Everyone was kind and accommodating. We extended our stay and do t want to leave

Everything.

Nothing.

UBICACIÓN

Paco and the staff were amazing and helped customize our stay to our needs. The location is a 10/10 and it’s a very charming hotel.

We stayed during a very warm month and needed air conditioning. The staff were so kind and worked magic to make that happen elsewhere. During a cooler season this wouldn’t be an issue.

the cabaña, the beach, the personnell,.. everything was amazing

the top floor of the cabaña is an amazing experience, but you need to be aware it is quite noisy because of the big waves hitting the beach all night long. if you are sensitive to noise (or heat because of open space and no aircondition) maybe not the perfect place upstairs. If you are out for nature experience with top comfort thats the place!!

Beautiful rooms right on the beach, short walk into town.

Perfect location on the beach. Nice little restaurant on site.

Feel bad complaining but the surf was REALLY loud at night. But I’m from Colorado, so definitely not used to that.

The location right on the beach was a dream. Hearing the waves at night was so nice.

The bed was quite small and not the most comfortable. Food in the restaurant also not great, but it didn't matter as there are so many other places around.

The restaurant is located in the center of the complex, outdoor in nice shade and with a beautiful view of the ocean. The upstairs palapa has a wonderful view and breeze!

Wifi was pretty unreliable, but could be the town utility

El lugar y su playa son geniales

Las lanchas que le quitan un poco lo bonito de la vista, pero son personas muy muy amables

Lå skønt og personalet var utrolig søde og hjælpsomme.

Der lugtede til tider af fisk fra stranden, da fiskerne kom ind hver morgen med store fisk, som de rensede på stranden meget tæt ved hotellet

Great location!

No air conditioning can be a bit of a challenge, however lots of fans provided!

The room is well designed, mainly for a romantic couple with a specific sort of holiday in mind. So, for a single traveller, it is a very nice place with a magnificent view. Probably the best place in town.

I think that the staff are complicated mix, room service staff were helpful, and meticulous but could have done the cleaning in a fraction of the time. There is a bar and kitchen which is often closed and seems to be run by very nice people, but they are not well organised. This is excused as Mexican culture, but I think it's a management oversight issue - it would pay them to take a notebook and to spend some time in something equivalent in Asia to see what is possible.

Location and cleanliness

Chairs in room uncomfortable

This place is right on the beach which is lovely. Staff we absolutely awesome.

The bed was too firm and there is no air conditioning. For the price I would expect a bit more, but hey, you can roll out of the bed and onto the beach.

Wunderbare Oase mitten im Ort und mitten am Strand. Kleine Hotelanlage mit neun Zimmern, sehr gepflegt, von Palmen umhüllt in wunderbaren kleinen Bungalows. Sehr motivierter, aufmerksamer, hilfsbereiter und netter Service, gute Bar, alles mit Jesus an der Bar findet man auch zum Glauben zurück! Danke für die tollen Cocktails

Nix

El diseño de las cabañas, la ubicación, la limpieza, todo espectacular!

Solo cambiaría al chico de la recepción, cero atento, como si le molestara la llegada de un huésped. Mejor los de limpieza o del restaurante te atienden y él sigue pegado a la compu como si nada.

The location was supreme!!

Todo lo demás estuvo perfecto. Gracias por todo.

Wifi solo en recepción. O cerca de la recepción.

San Augustinillo beach is top tier and the ability to be right on it is a unique offering. Really liked my room. Given that you are right on the beach the waves are loud (which I found soothing), but other than that did not have issues with noise while sleeping.

The mosquito netting around the bed made the bed feel smaller than I expected.

helpful staff convenient dining and drinks Julia was an amazing hostess our linens were x changed daily

a refrigerator would be helpful but I knew the room didn't have one when I booked

Está junto a la playa. Vista espectacular. Muy limpio el hotel. Le dan mantenimiento constantemente. El personal muy atento y amable. Agua disponible las 24 hrs. El restaurante excelente.

Para tres personas queda un poco estrecha la habitación. Pero no importa porque todo lo demás está perfecto. Tal vez una almohada extra estaría bien. No tiene aire acondicionado, pero funciona bien el ventilador y es silencioso.

Emplacement incroyable, cabanes très chaleureuses. Même pas besoin de fenêtres tellement le climat est bon. Moustiquaires au top.

Tout était parfait

Great location right at the beach, amazing view and friendly staff. Also very close to some nice restaurants / coffee places.

No real negative however keep in mind that you have some fishing boats right next to you at the beach. Once the fishermen return you do smell fish for a bit.

Everything

They could offer mini fridge and kettle

Que de alguna forma uno no siente privacidad porque en puertas y ventanas son ramas las que cubren y la realidad es que se ve absolutamente todo hacia adentro desde el angulo que se deseé...

Location right on the beach was fabulous. It's like a micro boutique resort. Restaurant was very convenient with good quality food. Only about 8 cabanas so very small and private. Our room was on the first floor and set back a bit so less breeze and a little warm with no air conditioning the last week of April but the fans helped and a bug net is provided.

Clarisa, Jesus, April, and the whole staff were so welcoming and accommodating. From cooking us delicious breakfasts, to making us drinks by the beach, to calling us a taxi to the airport, we felt right at home from the minute we arrived and couldn't have been more relaxed by the time we left. I only wish we could have stayed longer!

Loved our room right on the beach with easy access to swim, layout or explore the town of San Agustinillo. The room was comfortable and it was great falling asleep to the waves (just be aware that if you are a light sleeper it is not easy to tune out the ocean). The fans in the room offered a nice breeze and it was wonderful to be able to have an 'outdoor shower" indoors.

Breakfast was great, location fantastic. Staff attentive.

You couldn’t fault the location of this place, you fall out of bed onto the beach and the beach is beautiful. We watched sunsets and sunrises over the beach. Our room was foremost on the beach so we didn’t have far to walk, plenty of places that will rent you surf gear near by. Restaurants and bars a plenty.

Tricky this. The room was simple, it doesn’t have any glazed windows so you are open to the elements and mosquitos of which there are many. I loved hearing the ocean but I didn’t enjoy so much the fisherman and boat crews shouting to each other and starting up the engines early in the day. Free water is supplied. No coffee/tea making facilities which is a shame and no air con or fridge so you are limited in what you can do in the room. Bed is quite small and to avoid a complete savaging you have a mosquito net and a ceiling fan to try and keep you cool. The attached restaurant is ok, but pricey.

A beautiful location with stunning views right on the edge of the sea, where one can see both the sunrise and the sunset. I hope to return.

It was magical.. the view from the room was crazy, the staff were so friendly, especially Paco and Edwin .. the location of the hotel was really good as well. We didn’t feel we need an AC in the room, the fan was just perfect.. highly recommended ❤️

The beach in front of the room was just paradise

Adding a bar/restaurant/snacks at the hotel or at the beach would be a great improvement

We loved this property. I would have stayed longer if I could.

We were in room 8 which was on the upper level and had an uninterrupted view of the beach. Nothing better than going downstairs and taking a couple of steps and you’re on the sand. The place had a relaxed vibe and it was only a 15-minute stroll up and over the hill into Mazut. Rooms were basic with large bathroom but if you enjoy sitting on your deck watching the ocean and then going to bed to the sound of the surf you should stay here. We didn’t want to leave

Stay was too short

Location is fantastic. Staff are so helpful and friendly. The place is so cute. Close to great restaurants and corner stores. Small fridge in the rooms so that was key for haveing a few drinks in the fridge.

This is a tough one to rate because the place is so cute and right on the beach. The staff are amazing and I guess the downfalls are maybe out of their control. Firstly, with no air-con in the rooms it is HOT! They do have fans but with the mosquito netting surrounding the beds the fans don't blow through it properly so we opted not to use the netting. Well, if you don't use the netting you get covered in bug bites. Actully, even with the netting you get eaten alive as my son used the netting and every morning he would wake up covered in bug bites. Every day in the early afternoon a boat would pull up on the shore right beside the resort and start slaughtering a load of sharks. Not kidding, one day my son counted over 30. It smells so gross everyday. We would be in laying under the beautiful palapas and see the boat pull up, 5 minutes later it reeked like fish guts for the rest of the afternoon. (and our room was right next to that side so the smell was in our room as well).

Everything! The design of cabanas

Nothing!

Great location to be in contact with nature, very nice and helpful people, delicious mezcalitas.

The location is awesome. Right on the beach (literally). From our cabana we would sit and watch the ocean it was beautiful. Each cabana has a little hammock which is super relaxing. The room didn’t have a AC, but had two fans. The evening temperature (in October) was very pleasant so it didn’t matter while sleeping. The staff is super nice and relaxed. Mazunte is a 15 minute walk and has a dozen restaurants to choose from.

The breakfast options were great. One day the chef was away, and the standard dropped. The location is superb - small bay, lovely surf, friendly fishing village. The photos don´t do it justice. I will come back again!!!! The staff , especially Jesus and Sandy were fantastic.

Only two things. The wifi reception is unreliable. One of my friends could not sleep because of the heat. I was ok, and my other friend was ok with the mosquito net and the fans (no AC). It would be fine in December and January because it is not so hot.

We came here for 3 nights and ended up extending it to 7 nights. The location couldn't have been better. Their restaurant is superb! Housekeeping upto the mark, infact quite impressive! The staff is very friendly and goes above and beyond to make sure you got all what you need. I'm an architect and I could tell the villas and rooms and the whole site planning is done in a very sustainable, and climate friendly way. Even in such a hot weather, we didn't feel the need for an air conditioner. It was always cool and breezy. The bathroom is so well designed and I really appreciate the architecture. All the rooms are sea facing so that's brilliant. The staff is very cool and easy. Thank you!

We would have really loved having a coffee maker (since we're early risers and love coffee first thing in the morning) and mini fridge in our room to store milk for our baby but they had provided a solution for it...so no big deal really.

The location is fantastic, and the staff very helpful and welcoming. The restaurant was very nice, and I enjoyed my mornings with an wonderful breakfast with view to the pacific. Gracious staff and amazing place.

It could be helpful with a larger safe to store laptop - but not a big deal. The staff was kind to store it for me.

The food was AMAZING !! The Staff were amazing !! Olivia was amazing on the front desk and was so helpful and friendly she went above and beyond, making our stay comfortable, helping us rent scooters! The whole team there was just wonderful, Hasus was an amazing server and made the best coffee, The cleaning ladies were so kind and did such a great job! The resort itself is stunning and right on the beach. Highly recommend and would stay there again 10/10

nothing !

Wow - what an amazing place. I would highly recommend staying here. The location is exquisite (if you want on the beach quiet space) we LOVED it. Would highly recommend. You can get the bus to Mazunte or Zipolate for just 10 peso (taxi back is around 100-200) if you want a bit more choice but why would you..... the beach here is perfect and you are right on it. I noticed other guests said no hot water - we never had this problem, although they did mention if we did when we checked in just to let them know and they would sort it (so obviously read their reviews and react) The staff were amazing, food fantastic (try the sweet bread with avocado, bacon, cheese and egg for breakfast - amazing) and cocktails extremely moreish. The cleaners must watch you as I never saw then but our room was cleaned to an amazing standard every day. Thank you to all the staff - especially Olympia and Oesus (no idea on spelling) - it really was the perfect stay. We will be back next year it was that good xx

Nothing - whats not to love its right on the beach, food is great, drinks are great, staff are great.

The food is very good and the restaurant setting is superb. Everything about our stay was great. We have absolutely no complaints about anything.

I thought the location was good if you like to be a 15 min to 20 min walk from the main town. there were plenty of restaurants where we stayed within walking distance of 5 min

The only complaint was the hot water lasted 3 minutes so you need to take a fast shower or you are having a cold shower. The restaurant there had very limited food so I never ate there. The drinks were okay to good

Location! Staff! Beach access. View. The food at the restaurant.

It would be imposible during the summer. No a/c, perfect for winter. Bad internet.

Our palapa was just in front of the beach with nothing but the ocean to watch from our terrace all day. Olimpia and the staff are absolutely lovely people. They treated us excellent and Carlos and Alejandro from the kitchen were even sweet enough to make special little things for our one-and-a-half-year-old baby boy. We recommend Cabañas Punta Placer all the way!

Had the best time at Punta Placer - the hotel and location are so stunning and really relaxing - the photos aren't enough to convey the beautiful direct access to the beach. Loved all the small details like the foot baths outside each room so you didn't get a sandy floor, the pretty lighting at night and daily room cleaning. The staff were so friendly and also went above and beyond, making me a meal off-menu when I was feeling unwell, we really appreciated it and cannot wait to return one day!

Nothing

Amazing place! Very quiet place where you can relax and enjoy the beach and sea. The room is clean and staff very helpful. Definitely recommend this place!

We loved it. Maybe a place where you can buy a beer or another drink would be nice.

The hammock and the beach front view.

The insects

Great locations, rooms nice and rustic

Beach was full of plastic

Fantastic location right on the beach. Really beautiful and relaxing hearing the surf roll in. All rooms have a porch with hammock, and views of the water. It's really a pleasant, calm and private setting, and feels a little more upscale than other properties in the area. The staff was extremely friendly and attentive and the room was kept clean. A really good value.

The lack of A/C was a bit tough at this time of year (the hottest), though I guess that depends on one's personal level of comfort. Food and drink are provided independently, so guests need to settle their tabs (in cash) at least daily. It would have been nice to have one bill for my entire stay.

Located directly on the beach. You fall asleep and wake up to the sound of the Pacific. The Cabañas are spacious, well equipped and very clean. We loved that it was quiet and peaceful.

right on the beach!

it can get a bit noisy with the road in the back.

it’s one of the few places in Mexico with some authentic flavor. Lovely cabañas, warm water, wonderful view.

the only thing that could improve is the breakfast, maybe offering some more sweets, like simple biscuits or bread with home made marmelade would be a nice addition

Location!!!! So close to the beach. Loved the beach chairs, umbrellas, and hammocks. Food from the restaurant on-site was amazing! Love seeing the local dogs running, playing up and down the beach each day.

No Air conditioning... understandable that A/C is not available due to the open concept. However, was really hot at night and hard to sleep. Also wish we could use credit card rather than cash, to pay for food and drinks.

Hidden gem! Private, quiet, amazing views, and friendly attentive staff. The breakfast chilaquiles with egg and dinner garlic shrimp with rice and salad were perfect seaside meals.

A few more hooks to hang clothes and bathing suits. That's all!

The location was phenomenal, the cabaña was beautiful, and the staff went out of their way to accommodate our desires. We would happily recommend this place the people we love the most. I hope the memory of sleeping to the sound of the nearby surf never leaves me.

I could think a very long time without finding anything to complain about. I could complain about the ruckus made by the boat-tailed grackles in the morning, but that's not under the control of the business now, is it?

proximity to the water. views. Architecture. Well maintained. Welcoming staff.

There was nothing we did not like.

Punta Placer is an absolute gem! A truly exceptional place to stay. Everything was amazing, the room and balcony were incredible and the staff and service was so attentive and helpful. Could not recommend this place enough! Book it and see.

beautiful location and lovely staff. very accommodating, cute shop that sold hand made jewellery. had a nice restaurant also which was nice for breakfast

Beautiful beach front area and deckchairs + umbrellas to use. Beach front bungalows look amazing, unfortunately we only got the family bungalow, which was directly in front of the road and next to a place where they emptied freshly caught fish. Hence, it was rather loud and sometimes a bit smelly. But: the view from the bathroom paid off.

Gorgeous beachfront location, I could have stayed in the hammock on the terrace all day! The room was spacious and comfortable, while there was no aircon the sea breeze kept us cool and the mosquito nets were appreciated! The owner was extremely helpful, he planned an amazing whale watching tour, turtle release and lagoon tour around Ventanilla for us - nothing was difficult for him!

For the price, one would have expected breakfast to be included but it was ok that it wasn’t.

Please could you improve the signal of the WiFi.

The view of the ocean.

Everything was perfect! From the amazing location right on the beach in San Agustinillo, the view from the room, the great food and drink service right to our comfortable beach chairs under the umbrellas (thanks girls, you looked after us very well!), the access to great swimming, the short walk to Mazunte, and the parking for our motorcycle!

Absolutely stunning views, our cabaña was right on the beach. Incredible sunsets. Loved the semi al fresco shower 🙂

The fan didn't do much sadly so prepare to sweat. Sketchy wifi. Also nature is beautiful but noisy, so don't forget earplugs...
