I enjoyed my stay. It’s a nice getaway. I had few issues, but nothing out of the extraordinary. I specifically dislike the fact that there’s a lot of street dogs around; they walk around you while you’re eating in the restaurant.

We stayed at three different places in Zipolite. Alquimista was best for food and location. The service was also good. We weren't aware that some of the hotels in Zipolite, while air conditioned, don't have glass windows, just wooden shutters and thatched roofs. In September when we visited, the air conditioner only keeps the room so cool, especially if you want to open the shutters for light. We weren't attracted to Alquimista because it was clothing optional, so we were okay with discovering that only the beach area in front of the hotel (not the hotel itself, like we had read) is clothing optional, although it seems to be okay on some of the hotel-serviced lounge chairs by the beach. Our room was by the hotel's kitchen, so between the crew working late in the night and the crew working breakfast, there was a considerable amount of noise. The view of the ocean from our room and the view from the pool were both obstructed by vegetation that could have been cut back, but we experienced the same issue at another hotel. Alquimista is definitely one of the better stays in the town, and the restaurant serves delicious, fresh food. It's a pleasant laidback cabana experience. Not fancy, but nothing is in the town.

The property is very boutique and located in Zipolito known for nude beach. , bungalow type rooms, reminded me a little of Bora Bora style bungalows. The food is very good at hotel and if you want to try other food option there are local restaurants with in walking distance that offer great food at half the or less the price of hotel. If you want to try a shrimp burrito then go into the town of mazunte and stop in at the Burrito fish local.

Idyllic
Absolutely gorgeous place, couldn’t recommend this place enough. I would recommend the beach side cabins, it’s gorgeous to walk out the door on to the beach, idyllic. I almost didn’t want to review this because I didn’t want more people to know about it so it doesn’t get too busy 😂

Un lugar con una decoración que te sumerge en la vibra de Zipolite. Las habitaciones son cómodas, quizás, solo agregaría una TV para aprovechar algún momento de ocio, particularmente durante la noche. Fuera de eso, las vistas, las amenidades, el cuidado de los detalles hacen de este lugar uno recomendable.

special place that is worth the splurge. We had a suite close to the water that was super private yet close to the beach,pool & restaurant. The location is perfect as it’s close enough to walk anywhere but this end of Zipolite Beach is definitely quieter. The staff could not have been more friendly & attentive to any of our questions or requests. Our only issue was the pool was so chlorinated that ourselves & other guests we talked to didn’t really use it which was a shame as the setting was really nice & chill.

Property was very nice. Staff was good but service was very slow at reception and at the restaurant. Prices are too high for what you get. Also had poor communication with front desk. They ask you to use WhatsApp and EVENTUALLY reply. Bad experience upon departure. One person help three groups!! THEN Our taxi was negotiated at one price with the front desk and the driver later asked for much more!!! Consumer BEWARE.

The room was simple, but perfect, facing the sunrise, yet still protected from the direct rays of the sun by the beautiful vegetation on the hotel property. We will be back here in 2024.
