About

Casa Bonita Hotel & Luxury Residence

Casa Bonita Hotel & Luxury Residence is a small 5-star property set on a quiet hillside in Oaxaca, Mexico.

  • Comfort ratings lower than other aspects — Guests rated comfort at 6.2 out of 10, the lowest of all categories, suggesting room comfort may not meet the same standard as service.

“With only 11 rooms, I loved having the place nearly to myself during my stay.”

8.2Verified guest

“A wonderful boutique hotel up on the hill in a quiet part of Oaxaca. The manager and front desk staff were friendly, spoke English, and helped with everything. I'd easily return. Just remember the usual Mexico cautions about water and food.”

8.2Verified guest

“I loved every detail of my two-night stay. Staff were attentive and met every need. Rooms were spacious, modern, and the beds comfy. Breakfast was extensive with great options, and the food was outstanding. Short walk to beautiful Oaxaca, and Doba Yej is a 10-15 minute walk for meals.”

8.2Verified guest

“Breakfast was delicious with fresh eggs and homemade tortillas, and dinner, especially the mole, was equally good. The Junior Suite's décor created a cozy atmosphere.”
