Bambú Ecocabañas

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.

Die Bungalows, der Strand und auch die Gemeinschaftsküche sind sehr gepflegt und schön. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt und würden wieder hier bleiben. Alle waren sehr herzlich und sehr hilfsbereit. Ein Ort, der keine Wünsche offen lässt.

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.

We were lucky enough to be able to stay here over the busy Christmas holiday and loved it! It’s a long & amazing drive from Oaxaca city but we had the warmest & friendliest welcome by Memo who runs the beach houses. The cabana's are set facing the beach and the ocean; a gorgeous setting. Rooms are clean and spacious and each has a personal outside balcony or terrace to relax and just take it all in. Bambu has been thoughtfully designed and there are so many little touches that make it unique. Bambu does not offer a bar or breakfast service but there is a spacious shared kitchen with space in the fridges & lockers if you want. However, San Agustinillo has lots of small cafes & restaurants for those not interested in cooking! Outside areas are kept swept & clean and everyone worked to make this s wonderful stay. I have to make a special mention of Memo. His personal attention to his guests make this an outstanding place to stay. One of our party was unfortunately unwell and he looked after us so well. We are incredibly thankful to him for his help. San Agustinillo is a lovely beach area. The swimming was fabulous and there are plenty of chances to surf and snorkel. We also took a boat ride and we’re thrilled to catch whales, dolphins, manta rays, .. quite a sea safari! Thank you Bambu.
