“The food is incredible and the cook chefs are really nice. The place is located near Barra and other surf spots. The vibe is really chill and the cabanas are clean ! We spent 2 weeks there, if you travel and look for a place for surfing : go for it !”
“The original and best place in Barra. Pepe is the heart of the town. We would never stay anywhere else :) Highly reccomend. Clean, friendly, plenty of space, authentic and the on-site restaurant is yummy and affordable. We always ate breakfast there. Anna who works in the kitchen is an angel . Highly recommend both accommodation and the rooms.”
“Really cute place with basic cabins (a bed, mosquito net and a fan!), lots of hammocks, good showers and flushing toilets, a lovely communal area, and great food. Really appreciated the access to potable water even for a fee - haven't seen much of that in Mexico so far and it was great that Pepe's at least is encouraging less plastic usage.”
“I would really recommend this place. We slept in an double bed room with private bathroom. The host is very friendly and helpful. They have cheap and super good breakfast and lunch. And you can also rent you scooter or motorcycle here, cheaper than in other places.”
“Fantastic Place! I had a private room with AC and private bathroom. 10 to 15 min walk to the beach, but there are plenty of tuk tuks to give you a ride. Pepe is a really nice guy and the food from the restaurant is also very convenient and good. If you need to rent a surfboard just go to the beach, there is are 2 rental spots at the beach and it is the same price as rentals in town but you avoid having to lug your board around”
