Ayook's strengths are its kind, committed staff, excellent service and delicious breakfasts! We were happy to wake each morning to fresh-squeezed jugo de naranja, coffee, local fruit, and a plate of traditional Oaxacan food. If you're seeking privacy, you'll want to steer away from rooms 1 and 2, which are directly in front of reception and the central staircase. Note that the windows of all rooms open on the inner hallway in the style of Spanish colonial architecture, not on the outdoors. We enjoyed the artistic arrangement of Oaxacan textiles, pottery and figurines found throughout the hallways and sitting areas.
