Café Maya - Zipolite — Restaurant in Oaxaca

A week long we stayed and hung out on the beach in front of Cafe Maya. Breakfast, lunch and afternoon cocktails were consumed everyday and it never got boring. The food is made to order and tastes fresh. The menu is simple but has plenty of options, so you never get bored. Personal favorites were the mixed veggie crêpe and club sandwhich. Try the watermelon juice when you are really thirsty: it doesn't get more refreshing than that. The cocktails are made with fresh fruit, love and attention. The pina colada is perfect, I will never order it anywhere else anymore after tasting this one. Cafe Maya was a place for us to really relax and be ourselfs. The service was always friendly and welcoming, but not over the top or pretentious. It's like you step into their living room.

Avoid this place at all costs. The only positive aspect of this “accommodation” is its beachfront location, but trust me — it’s not worth it. The owner is extremely rude and unhelpful, showing no intention of resolving any issue. There’s no staff to welcome or assist guests, and the room was far from hygienic. Be aware that the owner tries to arrange private deals outside of Booking.com, leaving you with no way to file a claim if something goes wrong.

Today I was walking on the beach and spontaneously choose this little cafeteria. I'm so happy I was there, coffee was really tasty, lunch was delicious and what was the most important - two gentlemens served me from the bottom of the heart. I love places like this that you can just sit, relax and feel comfortable with people around you. No rush, no stress, calm, quiet. Muchas gracias amigos...
