Nomad Beach House - Hostel

Ok, so I haven’t even checked out yet, but I feel compelled to write a review. I do this because so often, I say I’ll leave a review and forget. I film travel videos for the budget traveler, and this one checks all the boxes. Style, substance, and overall affordability. I almost hesitate to leave a review on this one, because I hate to shine a light on my secret spot. But here we go… Nomad is located in the Centro part of Puerto Escondido, on Playa Principal. Its amazing location is smack dab in the middle of the “local” beach with great swimming, food, and vibes. Its location allows for cheaper local restaurants and groceries, all while being walking distance to some of the more tourist beaches. You CANNOT beat this location. The accommodation is trendy, clean, comfortable and the vibes are chill and very friendly. Speaking of friendly, what makes this place the absolute best, is the people. The staff is friendly and very accommodating. I’ve stayed in many places in Mexico, and even what is supposed to be some of the nicest places, sometimes appear a bit run down. This place truly gives off an authentic Mexican experience, that’s easily digestible for the finicky foreign traveler. With nods to surfing and a slower beach attitude, this place is the best. The restaurant has skilled cooks, and offers a wide variety of foods, from Poke Bowls, to tacos, to burgers and fries. Not only is the food good, but it’s probably the most reasonably priced on the beach, and the portions are tremendous. Don’t get lured in by the flash of Zicatella. Do yourself a favor and stay outside of the hustle and bustle and take a quick walk in. You won’t regret it!
