r/PuertoEscondido

Hi, wir sind ein Paar Mitte 30 und planen 5 Tage Erholung an der Küste (ab San José del Pacifico erreichbar)

Ich war vor 4 Jahren in Puerto Escondido, auch im November. Es war wenig los (nach covid, Zwischensaison) und hat mir sehr gefallen vom Vibe - tolle Leute, easy-going, Sonnenuntergänge, das Meer, ... Anscheinend hat es sich ja recht verändert in den letzten Jahren.

Wir suchen ein gemütlicher Ort mit in Gehdistanz genügend Auswahl an Cafés, Strassenküchen, unkomplizierte Restaurants, mal Live-Musik und vielleicht auch einmal die Möglichkeit für ein Rave (eher Alternativ, Techno, Goa, ...), kann auch ausserhalb sein. Zu viele "Insta-Leute" und reine Trinkgelage sagen uns nicht zu bzw. Auch eine ausschliesslich sehr junge Leute, optimal wäre bunt durchmischt ;-).

Uns sind von Freunden Zipolite und Mazunte empfohlen worden. Bei Mazunte sind wir uns nicht sicher, ob es zu ruhig ist und Zipolite, ob wir dort hin passen (haben kein Problem mit Nacktheit und sind sehr offen, aber nicht konkrete FKK Gänger oder in dieser Community.)

Danke für eure Erfahrung und eure Hilfe!

Going to Puerto Escondido for a month. Staying in La Punta. Plan to take a lot of colectivos, but will occasionally have to take taxis.

And I keep seeing conflicting/confusing info on how to use them.

-Some ppl say to use Didi, but then others say you can negotiate through the app? Is it not like Uber?

-There’s supposedly a fare chart, but people report being charged various amounts. So should I just assume they’re not going to show me that and I need to haggle?

-Also how much are they willing to budge, given that I’m a foreigner with very imperfect Spanish? I just don’t want to get EGREGIOUSLY ripped off, I’m not trying to negotiate down 20 pesos for the occasional ride.

If somebody could tell me the best approach, that would be great. Maybe it will make more sense once I download Didi and get told to forget about the fare chart.

Thanks so much.

Just thought I’d hit up the Reddit community, as I’m contemplating heading to Puerto for a few months starting in Nov.

I need a place with good reliable internet. That is the #1, I’m open to neighborhoods, Centro, rinconada, zicatela, la Punta, etc. I need a 1 bedroom apartment, not a room in a house. Doesn’t need to have a full kitchen, but at least accommodating for a meal. A little place to work would be solid, extra points for a tall table. Must have AC

Looking for something around $13500 pesos/mo, all bills included, except electricity, I know I’ll use a decent amount of that due to AC usage.

Hi everyone!

I have a hotel booked in San Agustinillo from October 11–18. I knew it was the tail end of the rainy season and expected some showers, but the current forecasts are showing quite a bit of rain.

For anyone staying there now or living in the area, what should we realistically expect? Will we still be able to lounge on the beach and swim, or is the rain likely to significantly affect a beach vacation?
Also, is it safe to swim after/during rain due to things like sharks or crocodiles?

I know no one can predict the weather, but I’d really appreciate any firsthand insight into what conditions are actually like right now. Thanks so much!

Hey, anyone stayed here recently and recommend? Understand it’s a little bit further out the action but plan to get an ATV to whip around in. I saw reviews from earlier on in the year saying that there was construction work Nextdoor , so eager to know if this is still happening in November this year.

Any other luxury hotel recommendations appreciated !

Thanks !
