This beautiful lodge in the foothills about 15 minutes north of Oaxaca City is an idyllic spot. The grounds have been lovingly decorated with trees and shrubs covered with colorful flowers that attract butterflies and hummingbirds. We were upgraded to the apartment with a kitchen, where you could view the birds right out the window. The bed was very comfortable, and bathroom is modern and spacious. There is a lovely little restaurant on site with tasty Oaxacan food at reasonable prices. Last but not least, the hosts are about as perfect as possible- friendly, helpful, truly proud of their property and happy to share it. We will definitely return!

You really need a car to stay here. Public transportation is not a great option.

We loved our stay at Fernanda & Fernando’s lodge boho-chic style in the middle of flowers, greenery and eclectic decorations. We first stayed in a double room then moved for the last 2 nights to the room with king bed and kitchen, which is a worthwhile upgrade. The hosts and their staff work hard to keep this huge compound welcoming and clean, it seem to have further expansion plans. We could not use the beautiful pool as water was a bit cold (normal during this season) and did not eat at the restaurant as it closes at 5-5.30pm, too early for us after spending the day visiting the region. The village of Huayapam is an excellent surprise. Great location just 30min from Oaxaca center and easy starting point to visit Monte Alban, Mitla, Arrazola, Hierve el Agua and so many other fascinating places. Tiny but super cute with amazing restaurants, esp the family run Luz de la Luna (we live in Peru and the food and cocktails are at the level of some best Lima restaurants). Huayapam and its friendly inhabitants are worth being much better known and supported! Mil gracias y suerte!!!

Not having had time to taste food of the lodge.

It is a really magical spot with beautiful views and gardens, a spa for massages , lovely couple that owns it who speak english and answer all questions - and a nice restaurant - very clean, stylish and comfortable room - it's a great place to take a break -

Breakfast is not till 9 - it is open for lunch but for dinner you need to eat in the small town and the best place closes at 6 - after 6 not very many choices - (but there are a few ) without a car you are limited in terms of what to do - but you can taxi to local sights -

This lodge is located about 30 minutes from Oaxaca de Juarez, off the beaten path. A place to relax, curl up on a hammock to read a book by the swimming pool, enjoy the scenary ( full mountain views) foliage and flowers, their friendly cats and dog and delucious meals. The beautiful decor of the rooms are typical authentic Oaxacan. The owners Fernando and Fernanda over extended themselves to us - laundry, served us dinner in our room, helped with airplane and taxi reservations, not to mention showing us around their property where there are additional apartments for rent, huge pottery workshop. They offer a Pre-hispanic experience: temazcal massage and sauna in a clay made igloo. Using local herbs to heal. It is similar to a sweat lodge used to cleanse one's body of toxins and negative energy. It is quite rustic, which adds to the experience. I can't say enough about the quality of our stay and its offerings. WE LOVED IT HERE!!! We definitely will return in the future.

Because I did not speak Spanish, it was difficult to communicate with the temezcal lady and as a result did not understand the entire purpose of her cleansing ritual.

Picturesque Hotel is set in the mountains. Everything in the hotel is stunning, gorgeous rooms that are fitting for the rustic farmhouse style of property but very modern, clean, and comfortable. The staff were there to assist with everything, and we were never left waiting for or needing anything, super kind people, and lots of cats and dogs that were also friendly and happy for a bit of a cuddle.

Loved everything

Gorgeous room and hotel, beautiful location and some of the best service I have ever received! I loved all the little extras, like the kettle in my room to have tea in the evening/morning. The restaurant and food available was prepared with care and super delicious. I also did an extra temazcal/massage, which was lovely.

There was nothing that I didn't like.

Beautiful setting, very comfortable bed, lovely apartment. The hosts are extremely helpful. Fernanda even let me borrow her yoga mat while I was there! The Temazcal experience was lovely and highly enjoyable for those who can handle the heat!

No complaints!

It was so beautiful, and the owners fernando and fernanda were amazing. The food was exceptional, and i highly recommend the temezcal the traditional sweat and message.

Everything was clean and the people were friendly.

The place is absolutely beautiful with views over the mountains. There are so many personalised touches in the decor and the food was incredible. A real escape from the city and I would recommend to anyone. Thank you for hosting us!!

Nothing.

The location in Huaypam was wonderful. The grounds were gorgeous. My room was beautiful and comfy. The owner was very attentive to my needs.
