There was nothing to report the hotel that we didn't like just a couple of tips - - the hotel is at least 1 hour from excursions such as Hualtulco, Turtle Release or Horse Riding so if you don't rent a car be prepared to pay a premium for taxi rides to any of these places. - on the way from the airport we asked the taxi driver to stop at a convenience store to get some provisions such as tortillas, chips, yoghurt, soup etc, so that we can make the most of the kitchen. There are no stores around so pick things up en route. (Water is included and free in the room and restaurant). - There is another hotel/restaurant en route to the beach where you can explore another menu if you are not vegan (or have picky eaters!!) however the restaurant at Casa Mauna was extremely good and had a wide variety of options.

Our stay at Casa Mauna was excellent. The property looks exactly as it does on the pictures and was extremely well kept and maintained. The Vegan food options offered a lot of variety and the portions were ample, this included breakfast which was exceptional. The vibe was very chill and as I was travelling with 2 children so it was nice that the property was small enough that we could all freely and safely be around the rooms/restaurant/pool without needing to stay together the whole time. It was an easy walk down to the beach, which was beautiful and almost deserted. As with most places along the pacific it was not ideal for swimming but you could certainly bob about in the shallower parts. The owners and staff were very friendly and accommodated all of our needs.

Nothing

Perfectly and efficiently managed boutique hotel in beautiful location. Everything is very modern - we just loved it.

I think you probably could do with a car to avoid issues and cost getting around and if you wanted to go to Huatulco as it is isolated. The pool is lovely but if you want to swim in the sea it is too choppy and getting to the other beaches on foot is possible but hot work especially if you need to carry supplies (umbrella, cool box etc) however we did not need to go anywhere as the suites and pool and beach were enough for 4 days. Longer and you may consider alternatives.

The breakfast was amazing. I am not vegan but my partner is and I and the other guests at the time of stay absolutely loved the breakfast and the options. By the end when I wanted to get fish and the other places in the area were closed I was secretly happy as the food at Casa Mauna is deeeellicious. Summer rolls were favourite but all the mains and breakfast options are amazing and made with so much care. Our romantic dinner was delicious and very sweet. The vegan baileys??? Amazing. We were also very excited to see so many birds and butterflies (we are from London lol) and the hummingbirds coming to plants during breakfast was a highlight 😀 Lovely staff, met Euan (owner) and his son - very lovely people. Made some wonderful friends during our stay too.

The view on the ocean in most of the units is partial. You see a bit of the ocean but not enough to fully enjoy it or to see sunset/sunrise. I was disappointed about that as they advertised ocean view . Loads of mosquitos. Location away from everything if you plan to cook make sure you buy your groceries in Huatulco. We did not rent a car so we were depending in taxi which cost about 750.000 pesos from La Crucecita.

Quiet, comfortable, laidback. Nice terrace. Well equipped kitchen. Very comfy bed. Infinity pool. Food is excellent. Very nice deco and design. Cute little beach 5/10 min away from hotel if you don’t mind the stairs.

This property was exceptional. There were so many thoughtful touches that made the stay even more comfortable. I would highly recommend this place as an escape from all things hard. In a time when most things seem expensive this property demonstrates total value for money spent.

This is being picky as we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Casa Mauna. The variety of lunch and dinner food offerings could be better. The flavours started to taste the same in many of the dishes. Other local restaurants were closed during our visit. We didn’t buy enough groceries for our stay which was a lesson learned on our part. Make sure you bring extra pesos to account for taxis and eating at other restaurants.

Enjoyed being in a tranquil setting and having all required amenities at the hotel. The suite had a kitchen and small fridge which we utilized daily. The beach was a 5 min walk and the hotel provides towels and an umbrella to take with you. We had the beach to ourselves which was a major bonus. We very much enjoyed their fruit smoothies to start the day and a cocktail to end the day.

A bit off the beaten track, but you should know what you are booking ;-)

Big, spacious apartment, very fast WiFi, very good vegan food, super friendly staff, umbrellas for the beach, good towels, clean pool. Altogether a very nice hotel!

I cannot think of anything

It is hard to believe that such amenities/service/WiFi/food could exist in such a little remote town

Stayed in October 2023

could not think of anything

the view, the size of the rooms, the infinity pool, the food from the restaurant.

Stayed in August 2023

While the food from the vegan restaurant is delicious, I would have appreciated some more diversity and some non vegan options leveraging the seafood and local delicacies.

Casa Mauna is located in Salchi, a remote area, with stunning landscapes and beach. The accommodation facing the sea are wonderful and the pool with its lovely cocktails made the stay just perfect.

The fruit smoothy wasn't available!

The experience was calm and relaxed. A great place to chill out. You have really grate staff. They were always helpful if needed. I'm not a vegan but the food was great.

We (Waze) had some trouble finding the place.

Beautiful spacious and comfortable rooms with stunning views. Nice vegan food.

Stayed in April 2023

beach towels were reused. asked for a room to be cleaned and it wasn’t done. didn’t know there were no seafood / fish food options.

very relaxing place, amazing beach

Stayed in April 2023

Nothing, everything met expectations.

The place was beautiful. I wouldn't change a thing. The interior of the suite was modern and comfortable, the pool and restaurant were convenient and the beach is close by. We would definitely return and recommend it to anyone who wants to have a few days of tranquility.

That I couldn’t stay longer

It’s absolutely incredible

Stayed in March 2023

Maybe having an option for non-vegans

Its all vegan, but delicious, if you prefer something else you can always use your included kitchen. Just make sure you make a stop for groceries if that’s what you’re looking for because there’s nothing on the surroundings

Stayed in December 2022

it is a bit secluded, so you need a car staff was not really friendly.

beautiful view, nice comfy beds, beautiful beach around the corner

I love Casa Mauna. It was my second time staying there. The suites are just perfect and I appreciate the vegan restaurant. The food is so good even if you aren't vegan you will enjoy it. The owners are super nice and Emiliano the waiter is great. Staff are all friendly. One of my favorite getaways on the Oaxacan Coast.

Suggestions: make it clear up front the restaurant is 100% vegan and make this clear in the welcome email so omnivores can buy supplies in Huatulco. (you can also eat at Manta Raya - a short walk down the hill) This place is more European style (reserved) than Mexican style (overtly warm and welcoming). Once you adjust to that it's a slice of luxury in the wilderness. Also the hotel description should mention their steps (the hotel is built into a steep hillside): 25 from the parking lot to the first landing, 25 from their to reception/restaurant/pool, 25 from landing to our apartment. So might be a challenge for anyone with mobility issues (OK for us, thinking about others.)

Exceptional architecture/design of building and apartment. Beautiful location. Helpful staff (when asked). Off-site owner responds immediately to questions. Well equipped kitchen. Notes: Only swimming beach is in Cuatunalco just to the left (southeast) of the massive rocks projecting into the sea, opposite the beginning of the lagoon and la Panguita on Google Maps. Best seafood dinner (and least expensive) is in the village at Choza De Chivis.

There wasnt much not to like, honestly.

It was a beautifull and new location in such a serene town, it felt like having a private beach. Also, whilst we aren't vegan, the vegan food served was amazing!

Stayed in December 2022

Nice intimate, quiet hotel and beach. The food was excellent. And the service was warm and attentive. The rooms were big with all the amenities.
