About this property

Welcome to Hotel Casa Bigu

Hotel Casa Bigu offers utilitarian, air-conditioned rooms in a casual setting within a leafy residential neighborhood of Puerto Escondido. Guests can enjoy a small outdoor pool and garden area, providing simple spaces to relax after a day near the beach. The hotel is designed to be kid- and pet-friendly while maintaining a smoke-free environment, although it does not offer parking, breakfast, or on-site dining facilities.

Located just a three-minute walk from Zicatela Beach, the property provides easy access to one of the area's most popular spots known for its strong waves and surfing culture. Visitors also have Playa Carrizalillo and Playa Coral within close reach, both highly rated nearby beaches. The airport is approximately a 20-minute drive away, making arrival and departure relatively convenient.

Guest reviews frequently highlight the convenient location and the friendly, helpful staff. Some appreciate the quiet and clean accommodations, as well as the proximity to a mix of more affordable local restaurants outside the busier hotel zones. However, there is mention of ongoing construction noise nearby, and air conditioning availability can vary by room, which may affect comfort during warmer periods.

Ideal for travelers seeking a straightforward, modest stay close to the beach without the extra amenities of larger resorts, Casa Bigu suits those looking for a down-to-earth atmosphere. It works well for families and visitors who appreciate a more residential feel while remaining near key attractions in Puerto Escondido.

We had a delightful stay with Casa Bigu. We stayed there for one week. The staff are so sweet and always went out of their way to make sure we were comfortable and enjoying our stay. The location was perfect. It’s a one-maybe-two minute walk from the beach! It’s also very close to many great food and drink options. We were very sad to leave!!!!!

Loved my experience here! To get a better deal, go directly through the hotel in WhatsApp or just show up. The location was perfect! 1 block to beach access, quiet, comfortable, super clean!!! And close to a lot of lovely (more affordable than la punta & zicatela hotel zone) restaurants. There is a small pool to cool off in and lovely garden area to relax in. It's only 40-50 pesos in either direction to the center or La Punta. Highly recommend this if you're not a regular surfer and prefer less chaos. I met more expats & locals in this area too. Much better than the "yuppies" of Zica hotel zone & dirty hippies of La Punta. It's sad to see how much Puerto is turning into an even douchier version of Tulum.

Malutki hotelik na małej działce. Super lokalizacja - cicho, żadnych hałasów, bardzo blisko plaży i niedaleko (5 min spacer) do głównego deptaku. Pokoje miłe, jedyne na co trzeba uważać to klimatyzacja, nie działa we wszystkich pokojach a bez klimatyzacji można tutaj umrzeć. Pokój najlepiej rezerwować na miejscu. Bardzo dobry stosunek cena/jakość

Air conditioning, hot water, clean, friendly, and super friendly. All much more than what could be expected for the price. Will gladly come back any time I'm passing through Puerto.
