Love this place! The staff are helpful and kind, the facilities are clean and well kept. Great location and comfortable surroundings. Some of the “extra” furniture is a bit dated but otherwise clean and functional. Genuinely enjoyed my stay here. Definitely will return

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.

Spent 2 great nights in this hotel, would consider 3 but they were sold out - I understand why - very good spot and very cordial people and value service, all across the board. Supburb beach club, super good friendly staff, Frederico beach club driver soooooo like a family (we miss this place because of him also), very professional and observant staff at the beach club (I dropped my bag and they found me at my lunch table to bring it back to me), can’t say enough about wonderful people that make this place grand. Food was also really good, way better than expected. Happy to spend our time here and would recommend to consider at least 2-3 night if you are exploring the area and are on a go. Very good value, too. We are leaving this place with a great warm feeling and longing for more one day.

This hotel had great service, especially Ricardo, and the food was very tasty. The rooms were clean and comfortable. The only reason I would not stay here again is the facilities. It was very busy and the pool is very small. The beach that you are bussed to is beautiful but there is very few places that have shade and the beach is flagged as a red flag and unswimable. The amenities for us just didn’t work well but if you are looking for a clean, safe place with tasty food and not the amenities then this is your place.
