Bambú Ecocabañas

Relaxing Cabanas Helpful owner, beautiful views, very relaxed

San Agustinillo has a great sandy beach, and Bambu Ecocabanas is very well situated on the beach (like many other properties), The facilities are very basic; no hot water, intermittent WiFi, no bar or food service unless you do it yourself. That can be fine as simple can be good, but the problem is that you are being charged as much, if not more, than other properties on the beach that provide much better accommodation and service. Building work is taking place at the property, so it currently looks like a building site and there was constant drilling and hammering from the seven building workers. There was no apology from management for this noise, and no discount offered.

This is a unique lodging with incredibly creative architecture located right on the beach. Our room had a large balcony amidst birds, trees, and the sound of the surf, with a close up view of the beach and ocean. Comfortable and shaded lounge seating is on the beach. There is a full kitchen available for making your own meals. The hosts are very friendly, helpful, informational, and talkative--and they speak English if you need/want that. All in all, a great experience. It's also on the only street and close to all restaurants, etc. Fantastic broad beach. We want to go back!

The whole family (including a teenager and a young adult) loved our 5 days’ stay in the cabana Palapa at the Bambu hotel. You arrive and you are immediately on vacation even if your room / cabana is not yet ready. The view is stunning and even in this high season (Christmas) , San Agustinillo is not crowded at all. Your host Memo (Guillermo) is there most of the day in case you have a question, request for advice ..etc.. We loved the concept of open kitchen were you can cook or eat takeaway food fom some of the nearby restaurants at any time. Breakfast is not included but we were purchasing fresh juices from across the street and cooking something. It is also possible to discuss with other guests during the day ane share a meal. Rooms are spacious and simple. You are inside and outside on the beach at the same time. The first night you’ll be surprised by the loud noise from the heavy waves but your mind is so relaxed that the 2nd night your brain forgets it. If you are not looking for a luxury hotel with lots of services and lots of bars, restaurats and clubs around but a layback location, this is the place to stay. Internet connection is decent and a few persons were even working remotely while there alone or with their families. It is a nice place to learn how to surf or do bodyboard as there are always waves. With young children you need to keep an eye on them though. Walking on the beach and seeing the sunrise and the sunset everyday was so nice.

Our second stay at Bambu eco cabañas. Our preferred place on the pacific coast . Large bedrooms face to the ocean, clean and quiet. No food service but a large kitchen for the hosts, tienditas and many restaurants around. The owner Memo is friendly and helpful. No need to have a car. Everything can be done walking and taxis are easily available. Mazunte is close even walking. Zipolite a few minutes with taxi. Expecting to go back quickly !
