Hostal One Love

Puerto Escondido


The big dilemma at One Love is whether to stay in the John Lennon room or the Jim Morrison suite or, if you’re feeling a little more bluesy, the habitación de Janis Joplin. Classier than many of the hippie joints in La Punta, One Love is a high-walled wonderfully private domain packed with lush ferns and music legends.

The circular rooms are decorated with art and photos of the peace-loving rock heroes they are named after and are exceedingly comfortable, especially the 'One Love' suite. Bonus: there’s an excellent on-site restaurant that generously accepts nonguests.
