Hotel Escondido Oaxaca, a Member of Design Hotels

Hotel Escondido is a dream escape tucked away in the heart of Oaxaca. The property itself is stunning, seamlessly blending nature with elegant design. Rooms are impeccably crafted—thoughtful, serene, and stylish. The on-site restaurant serves delicious local fare that truly elevates the experience, and the staff? Warm, welcoming, and wonderfully attentive. I’ll 100% be returning. Highly recommended!

Hotel Escondido was lovely. The staff all around were incredible nice and helpful. The breakfast was good and the rooms were clean, had excellent amenities and comfortable. During the evening it was quiet and romantic. Great location and a great place to stay while in Oaxaca.

Clean Trendy hotel - the location was great - so close to everything. The staff was extremely nice and helpful - we were always greeted with smiles and the question, "How can we help you?" They helped arrange a driver for our multi day excursions - the archaeological sites and surrounding artisan villages. Oaxaca is magical and Escondido Oaxaca hotel made our stay even better! Thank you!

I did not end up going to this hotel, so I can't comment on the hotel itself. For various reasons I had to cancel my reservation. However, I did interact with the front desk via email and they were prompt and helpful. I do want to make people aware of a potential billing issue. If you book your room through Marriott you will be quoted a total amount including taxes in USD. However, the hotel will charge you in Pesos using what the hotel believes to be the market USD/Peso exchange rate. The hotel uses PayPal to process the payment 7 days in advance of arrival. PayPal gives you two options: (1) PP will do the exchange and also charge a 4% fee, or (2) your CC company will do the exchange. ALWAYS use your CC bank to do the exchange. Unfortunately the exchange rate the hotel uses and what your CC will use will probably be different and you will end-up paying more in USD than what was quoted by Marriott (the Marriott reservation does not state that the USD amount is an estimate.) I did push back on this with the hotel and they lowered the Peso amount, but I ended paying about $10 USD more than the Marriott quote. It would have been $100+ if I hadn't pushed back. The hotel should take the exchange rate risk not the guest. They could have PP charge the guest in USD and then remit the Peso equivalent to the hotel.
