I actually visited the Hotel Tabachin twice during the same trip, about a week apart. I liked the hotel so much, I stayed there again upon my return. The hotel has a charming and colorful tile exterior and the rooms are spacious and comfortable. The proprietor, Paul Cleaver, is a very gracious host. He takes personal interest in his guests... more

We just got back from an 11 day stay at the Tabachin-- we had planned to visit elsewhere but the Tabachin was so perfect for our family that we couldn't be bothered! First, it is on a small point with Zicatela (Mexico's Pipeline-size wave) to the left and Playa Marinero, with perfect boogie-boarding waves 2 minutes fro the hotel and... more

Traveled to Puerto Escondido with 3 other girlfriends and we were taken back by how wonderful this seemingly simple hotel was. The truly humble and joyful staff, including the owner, Paul, take great pride in caring for their guests and making sure that you thoroughly enjoy your time in Puerto. Would highly recommend to anyone heading to Puerto! more

The owner, Paul Cleaver, at one point said, "You know, we have had 11 email exchanges." That just about tells you all you need to know about how absolutely patient and kind this man was as our travel plans were on and off due to the flu scare. I can't say enough about this place. Spacious, great location, amazing breakfast,... more

We spent 4 nights at Tabachin. We booked one of their penthouses and we can guarantee you that the top unit has the best view of Zicatela beach. We don't surf so we realized that the location of the place may not have been the best. The owner Paul was very nice and entertained us daily with Mexican History lessons.... more

I highly recommend this boutique apartment hotel. I stayed in one of the studio apartments in this lovely hotel behind the Santa Fe Hotel and a block from Zicatela Beach. The owner, Paul Cleaver, is a charming host. The extensive and delicious breakfast served in the courtyard attracts others in the community. In addition to the guests, we are treated... more

I just got back from Puerto Escondido for the first time last night and I stayed at the Tabachin, located behind the Santé Fe Hotel on the main street, this hotel is clean, nice, and functional for anyone, just not people looking for a hostel type or on a serious budget. My group was three guys that wanted to surf,... more

This is such an amazing place to stay. The room we stayed in was HUGE, had an amazing balcony, wonderful wood work... it felt like the kind of place Hemingway or Bukowski would be fond of. It's right next to the main drag on Zicatela Beach, but not on the drag, which is a good thing in my book (You... more

WOW ! Room was beautiful, breakfast is memorable, hospitality plus more
