Casa Joseph Zicatela - Adults Only

Our stay started less than desirable with our room available for only 3 of the 4 nights we booked and had confirmed. The second night we had to move to a much less 1 class hotel across the street which was totally unacceptable with mold and rust all over. We ended up going at our expense to a different hotel and came back to Casa Joseph for the 3rd and 4th night where the staff very apologetically upgraded us to the top two bedroom villa with swimming pool and private chef. We enjoyed the days we stayed at Casa Joseph and obviously would have preferred not to have to move to a different hotel mid of our stay. But, the staff and manager were extremely nice and friendly and overall we had a good time and we appreciate the upgrades we received in compensation for the messed up reservation.

The staff & ownership of Casa Joseph clearly put a lot of thought, energy, and care into this hotel. We really enjoyed our stay here - the food was absolutely delicious (and generally reasonably priced), especially the breakfast. I would say the overall vibe is relaxation, so not too many amenities outside of a nice wading pool, yoga, spa services. They had live music every night. Front desk staff can help you arrange activities with outside vendors. Rooms were really comfortable with great balconies. This place is pretty chic, so we felt a bit of place in our dirty Phillies baseball caps & gym shorts, but it was still lovely!

If you want a luxury yet laid back experience in Zicatela, this is your place! Casa Joseph is the perfect place for a getaway and to pamper yourself on the beach. It is literally ON the beach, which is rare for Zicatela. Every detail is thought through, from the coconut they give you at checkout to them cutting the coconut as a snack on the beach while you wait on your room. The rooms are gorgeous - truly a dream. They have great, thoughtful amenities, like a sweatshirt for breezy nights on the beach and homemade toiletries/soaps. Do yourself a favor and stay here!

We have the good fortune to travel all over the world, and we've stayed at amazing resorts, but none was any better than the Casa Joseph. The staff was cheerful and accommodating, the rooms are nicely designed, and the food was truly amazing....much better than you normally find at a resort and beautiful as well as delicious. The beach location, the lovely evening music, the wonderful rooms....truly just a magical place that we hated to leave. They have a bit of noise problem with the rooms at the top and to the left....a friendly neighborhood rooster takes his job very seriously....but even that would not deter me from coming back to this marvelous place. Special shout out to Alaini for taking a great holiday picture for us and for Catalina and Louisa at the front desk who made sure we had every little thing we could need.

Hotel Joseph is a beautiful hotel to stay at. The service from all the staff from our arrival to our exit is top notch. The food and drinks are delicious. Will be returning for our next visit .

Amazing hotel, everything is super clean, modern, new and right in front of the beach. Staff is super friendly! There’s not much to do near the hotel, so if your plan is to party please reconsider, but if your plan is to relax and enjoy the beach this hotel is perfect for you. I’m coming back for sure!

shrunk entire suitcase of luggage and no compensation

The staff was beyond amazing, the food was delicious and the resort top notch! Loved the rooms, views and long stretch of beach we could walk. Such a special place and we will be back!

Heaven on earth from the moment we arrived - jet lagged and exhausted, from the moment we left - feeling like entirely new people. Everything about this place is 5*s and we can’t imagine a more perfect place to have spent our honeymoon. The location is amazing, sunsets every evening and exceptional food all day (we will be dreaming about the breakfast for a long time to come), the rooms were comfortable and beautiful. There were so many amazing touches like the cold towels, ice lollies (and even occasional shots) whilst you sunbathed. But the real show stopper were the staff. Daniel and the team couldn’t do enough to make our trip as special as it was, from organising a room upgrade when there was one available to leaving us champagne in our room to kick off our honeymoon in style. Every member of staff was warm, attentive and happy - which made the whole experience even better. They seemed to genuinely enjoy working here and nothing was ever too much. It’s also the perfect location to explore Puerto from - with delicious restaurants and fun bars walkable in both directions down the beach. Couldn’t recommend this place more! We will be back if we’re ever lucky enough to be back in this neck of the woods. Thank you for everything!
