Overlooking the old town of Puerto Escondido and the Pacific, three-pearl Paraiso Escondido brims with rustic character and whimsical charm. Its 26 rooms (including one Villa and five Suites) are simply furnished, yet comfortable and clean with artistic touches, balconies, and large terraces in Suites (some with plunge pools). Guests appreciate Paraiso’s aesthetic quirk; its sensational views; the pretty pool; and the short walk to restaurants, artisan stores, and the beach. Paraiso is suited to couples, families, and small groups keen to stay in a place with personality -- at a very affordable rate for the area. Travelers seeking artful lodging with year-round on-site breakfast could try Villa Mozart y Macondo.

Set in a super calm area that’s close to the airport and beautiful Bacocho Beach, the mid-range Aldea del Bazar is a Moroccan-inspired oasis. Its 47 rooms are basic, but they’re very spacious, clean, and bright with sitting areas (but no balconies). Half of the rooms take in gorgeous pool and garden views to the Pacific Ocean. Aldea del Bazar is far from perfect -- the restaurant is beautiful, but the food is a let down; the gym is tiny; and the spa feels neglected. Still, guests love this place for its huge Olympic-style pool; incredibly laid-back vibe; and the very affordable rates for Puerto Escondido. Travelers craving a resort with a beach club in the same location could try nearby Hotel Suites Villasol, but Aldea is hard to beat on price.
