I stayed at this hostel and worked from the beach club everyday for four days + three nights. The WiFi works great from down in the club but up in my room, it wasn’t great. The staff are friendly, the location is incredible and the food is tasty. You’re obviously going to pay a premium since you’re sitting beachfront but it’s still cheaper than California prices. I booked a private King room over the bar with a huge oceanfront balcony. It was $125/night which is double everything else in the hostel but in my opinion, totally worth it. Like I said, it’s cheaper than anything you’d get in California. My room was clean and minimal with cute decor. The music at the beach club was loud but at least it was good :) They have free yoga for guests and like to organize group activities. I would highly recommend for solo travelers.

It was an amazing stay! The beach club is new so it looks incredible, they take great care of the presentation of their dishes and definitely each and every one of them is an explosion of flavors

I spent a month at Che Zipolite, and it was an amazing experience. As a digital nomad, I couldn't have found a better spot in Zipolite. The staff (Bellen, Denis, Mario, Lucy and steph + Agustin the receptionists) were really nice and helpful!! making me feel like home!! The internet was great too. I'll definitely be back!

Amazing place! Great location on the beach. Good vibes. Great cocktails. The service was beyond excellent. We had a little problem with the AC in our room and they did everything to fix it even if it was late at night. We will definitely come back!

We had a great stay here. Augustin was incredibly kind and helpful. We were upgraded to an amazing room with a big balcony overlooking the ocean. He hand wrote us a note to see if we needed the room cleaned or anything at all, he gave us a round of free cocktails. just great service all around! The room was big and clean and the AC worked great. Highly recommend staying here!

We stayed here one night and enjoyed it. Clean and basic room with working AC. It was so peaceful to listen to the ocean waves lull us to sleep. It’s a central spot on the beach but it was quiet by 9pm. The curtains in the room were very sheer so bring an eye mask! The hostel seems to still be under construction in some spots.

Che Zipolite is perfect - right on the beach. The food is also really good - I had mixed ceviche and my husband a burger, both were some of the best (non tacos) food we have had in Mexico.

We dined here for.lumch Feb 26, 2026 no restaurant ratings above so confused. We ordered fish tacos, shrimp tacos, non-alchol piña colada and jamaica. Drinks were good. Took about 25inutes ro ceive.our food order. Shrimp tacos were good nice breading and the sauce was delicious. The fish tacos were horrendous dous. They smelled and tasted foul and looked bad. We couldn't eat them. We'd give the shrimps tacos ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ and fish tacos ZERO⭐️ Our server was good. The restrooms were clean. The bartender friendly. We sat under the roof where clothing is not optional.

Had a great stay at this hostel which is right by the beach, it’s clean and the staff are friendly also nice bar and activities. If you work remotely I wouldn’t advise it though as the WiFi didn’t work well.

Nov 2024: booked 3 nights here, sadly 1. the WiFi was not working well all the time — have to go other places for steady internet connections. 2. they are flipping more rooms on site from 8am in the early morning on Saturday and Sunday, be prepared for the noise. 3. For benches by the ocean, you have to spend 300-500 pesos for one seat. The staff here are quite friendly though, other than what mentioned above.

It's a new hostel and everything is still under construction. It's located right at the beach with an attached restaurant/bar. The 4-bed dorm rooms with bathroom are very nice and clean. There is a kitchen but it's quite badly equipped. Personally I felt like it's pretty hard to meet new people at this place. It's quite noisy all day because of the ongoing construction work and the permanent music at the bar.

it‘s an okay hostel but way too expensive for what you get. the location is actually great - beachfront - but using one of the hostel’s daybeds on the beach comes at a hefty 250 pesos. There weren‘t enough sanitary facilities (one sink for several dorms) and they were quite rusty (the upstairs facilities were more modern though). There‘s too little space to hang wet clothes from the beach, so everybody has to use the chairs of the dining area. the kitchen was rather dirty and poorly equipped. I was surprised that it wasn‘t that sociable.

Clean private room, but overpriced – beach club was a complete letdown! I stayed here in a private room, which was clean and fairly comfortable, but honestly not worth the price given the overall hostel environment. The real disappointment was the beach club. Service was shockingly bad. Drinks consistently took 20 minutes (or more) to arrive, and every single order I placed was wrong. I asked for a margarita without salt each time — every one arrived with salt. When I pointed it out, staff would just wipe the rim (letting salt fall into the drink) and tell me there was no salt, even though I could clearly taste it. When I insisted, they eventually brought the correct drink — no apology, no acknowledgment of the mistake. It gets worse. When the staff shift changed, they insisted I pay immediately (presumably to ensure they got their tip). I had to wait 15 minutes inside at reception for the card machine to work. One drink and payment ended up taking 45 minutes. Still no apology. Do yourself a favour — skip this place. Walk two bars up and you’ll find much better service, incredible food, and no minimum spend. A totally different vibe. I wish I’d gone there sooner.
