This place has a lot to offer: an AIRCON (a true luxury in Zipolite) a king size bed, a working desk with high speed Internet (Starlink), a TV, a small fridge, a large balcony with a stunning view of Zipolite beach, equipped with an outdoor kitchen with a stove and table plus a hamac to enjoy the view, a private bathroom and a shower with the same view.
On the main floor there's a small pool with long chairs to relax and a continental breakfast is offered. The owner and staff are very friendly. The hotel is at only 200 meters from the beach. There's about 50 stairs to climb to get there, but it's not a big fuss.
True, the place is rustic and that might annoy some. But for us, pros won largely over the cons of other reviews.
