Cabañas Amaia

We loved our stay at Cabanas Amaia. It is up a hill in an excellent location off the main road with only a short walk to beaches, restaurants, etc. Julien was very helpful with detailed speedy responses to all of our questions during our stay. Our room was very clean, comfortable and equipped with a refrigerator which we appreciated. The plunge pool was key to cool off in on a hot day. I would highly recommend staying here.

We had no complaints but the hill up to Cabanas Amaia is a bit steep and might be a problem for some people.

We had a lovely large private and pretty bungalow with a mosquito netted bed and a large ceiling fan. Bonus: we had a small fridge! Plus there was a huge jug of water at the welcome bungalow so we could easily fill up our water bottles. We also had a small private patio with a hammock and a couple of chairs - and tucked on the backside a spot to hang our swimsuit and towels. There is no view but lots of lovely greenery around the small refreshing pool. Morning coffee was offered up. And our very informative host gave us plenty of info. This was a healthy 15 minute walk up a hill (the whole area is quite hilly) from one of the main streets in Mazunte - it is located right across the street from a cemetery (and if you walk past that you hit the trail for the look-out point) or if you walk past Cabana Amaia and down the hill you get taken to another beach (enroute there is a coffee shop, live theatre, a poetry corner and a couple of other spots to check out). You can step outside the gate from Cabana Amaia and just a 3-minute walk there is a small store for drinks and snacks; a cute restaurant that we did not check out, and just before sunset many people heading to the lookout Point or the Beach. And if you have a car, there is secure parking.

Very secure gate to access the property and great locks on the door, I didn't ask but an extra set of keys would be handy as there were two of us. A sitting chair inside the bungalow would be handy - there were chairs outside on the patio.

Perfect cabana situated in beautiful landscaping, perched at the right location to drift in all directions. Returning always felt like coming home. Morning chats with the hosts/staff over local coffee were a joy.

We spend unforgettable vacations here. Perfect place to enjoy tranquility and privacy. Comfortable, clean and well-kept. The host is super nice, friendly, welcoming and ready to help.
