Over all decent. My review is very limited as I never used the beach club, and only used the restaurant for 3 breakfast meals. I used Castillo as a hub. There are way too many other options for meals, beaches, etc. to go to. The staff was nice. My room was clean. They need to change the carpet in the elevators because they are full of mould. Just climb the stairs and all is good.

Our room was quiet, clean and had a view of the garden area, a small balcony was included. The staff were the best part of our stay they were always smiling and happy to help from Anna at the front desk to our favourite cleaners, shuttle drivers, servers as well as the concierge. All of our inquiries were answered and any issues were immediately taken care of. The food was okay, we did not go hungry. The beach club was a nice bonus however, located on a beautiful beach swimming in the ocean was risky most days but the view was incredible including seeing whales some days. The pool was clean and relaxing and the hotel shuttle was a big bonus. The hotel location is great, walk to Santa Cruise beach or shops or a quick trip in a taxi to La Cruceta for more restaurants and shops. Don’t forget to tip the staff. At times it was difficult to get smaller bills from the front desk, we were more successful asking the servers to make change.

Took 3 tries to get a decent room, but then it was

A perfect family resort, though we realized we are probably not resort travelers. All inclusive means buffet food, which is as good as can be implied and unlimited beverages, though i doubt there was ever much alcohol in any of the drinks. But thats individual taste. Our only real issue was, even though we had booked months in advance, we were given the worst room in the hotel, at the farthest end of the hall, on the ground floor and sticking up against the main street, complete with party buses going by until midnight. When we asked to change, we were told they were sold out, but in the morning we could see. The next morning we were told, yes they could move us to a garden or pool view. But we would have to pack, move out and leave our bags until 4p with no room until then. At 4p we returned. This time they gave us a room over looking the parking lot courtyard and where the main exhaust fans for the kitchen and AC system blated away. After complaining again, we were finally given a room with 2 double beds, we had booked a queen, overlooking the back garden. At lot of effort to finally get an ok room. Other than all that, it was clean, the beach club was nice and we enjoyed ourselves.

The hotel Is nice and convenient. It was quite noisy however and the manager smoked a cigar in his office most days which smelled up the hallway on our floor I did not feel comfortable complaining to the front desk. Ironically there was a no smoking sign in the hallway near his office

This traditional Mexican style hotel, is located in a great Santa Cruz location. The beach, marina, tour operators, restaurants, vendors, convenience stores, etc, are just across the street. The city bus also runs right past the hotel, which is convenient, if you plan to explore centro Huatulco. Additional restaurants and the ever popular Chedraui grocery store, is a 12-15 min walk away. The front desk staff are extremely friendly and helpful. As a bonus, all guests have access to the hotel’s beach club at Playa Chahue. A dedicated shuttle service, operates every day from 9:30am - 6pm. Two negative aspects of this location are, the traffic noise if your room faces the street, and the very poor wifi service on the hotel property.

The staff were amazing and made sure we had everything we needed. We found the food just okay compared to other restaurants around. They cleaned our room everyday and it was pretty clean. The pool was a bit busy but the beach club made this property worth it. Gorgeous beach and not terribly busy compared to most beaches.
