About this property

Welcome to Cabañas Las Palmas

Cabañas Las Palmas is a rustic hotel nestled in a peaceful beach setting in El Cacalote, Oaxaca. Its location past the lagoon bridge offers a tranquil escape surrounded by natural beauty, making it ideal for travelers seeking rest without the noise of busier tourist spots. The area is described as largely untouched, perfect for disconnecting and enjoying calmness by the sea.

The property features comfortable cabins with private bathrooms and access to a shared kitchen area. Guests appreciate the simplicity and cleanliness of the accommodations, as well as the palapa facing the ocean where meals can be enjoyed with scenic views. Some feedback notes the absence of hot water, which might be a consideration for families or those used to more facilities.

Outdoors, visitors can engage in activities such as swimming (depending on wave conditions), snorkeling, kayaking, or simply relaxing by the shore. Several nearby restaurants serve fresh seafood within walking distance, providing an alternative to self-catering. The quiet surroundings and minimal commercial development attract those looking for an authentic experience rather than a luxury resort atmosphere.

Cabañas Las Palmas is well-suited for guests who prioritize tranquility and a natural environment over modern amenities. The remote location means cash is necessary, as card payments are not accepted. With a strong emphasis on peacefulness and rustic charm, it is recommended for individuals or families comfortable with simple comforts and eager to enjoy the unique coastal landscape of Oaxaca.

lugar imperdible si quieres descanso de verdad. Sin ruido, sin gentrificación, sin gringos escandalosos, lugar naturalmente hermoso. Eso si, lleva efectivo, no hay pagos con tarjeta

We stayed here twice because it was so nice. Excellent communication, awesome services. You can cook your own meals, or enjoy one of the many restaurants that serve fresh seafood. You can swim if the swell is not to high, snorkel or practice your surfing skills. They rent sit on top kayaks or you can walk to the lagoon and rent a kayak and paddle through the the mangrove. Highly recommended

Amé todo, es riquísimo dormir con el sonido del mar, estar súper cerca y que la brisa sea la que te refresque, además de que hay sitios cercanos para comer, no son de lujo si se habla de costos, pero si es que es lujoso comer donde el mar puede llegar a tocarte los pies. Sin duda volveré más seguido a este sitio!

Excelente lugar, para descansar y desconectarse de todo, el lugar cuenta con todo lo necesario para pasar unos días de descanso, cuenta con cocina compartida la cual puedes hacer uso, cada cabaña cuenta con baño propio son muy cómodas y limpias solo un detalle no cuentan con agua caliente qué no es necesaria pero en mi caso si pues tengo dos niños pequeños de 5 años y sentían fría el agua, de ahí en fuera todo es excelente, además tienen una palapa frente al mar ya sea para degustar tus alimentos o una tardecita agradable disfrutando de la hermosa vista qué tiene, lo recomiendo muchísimo es uno de mis lugares favoritos y definitivamente regresaré pronto!!!
