Puerto Escondido


Seafood dishes such as the catch of the day encrusted in coconut are popular at this beach club's oceanfront palapa (thatched-roof) restaurant, plus you get the added perks of free access to one of Puerto Escondido's most swimmable beaches and a large on-site pool (always a splash hit with the kids).
