My brother and I recently stayed at Hotel Villablanca on the way to what was to be a boogie…read moreboarding adventure in Punta Conejo. As the boogie boarding didn't quite work out for us, we headed back to Huatulco and extended our stay at the hotel. Our observation was that this is a popular tourist destination for people from Mexico City and other points in the country; indeed, I'm guessing we were the only guests from the U.S.A. We did meet a very gregarious Canadian expat (and hotel local) who gave us some pointers about what to see and visit while there. The staff was busy - but never so much so that they didn't have a moment to at least say "¡Buenos dias!" if not engage in some conversation. The young women at the front desk seemed to get a real kick out of hearing us stumble through our limited Spanish (mine more than my brother's), but we were able to break through the communication barrier and lightly converse with them. The pool in the center courtyard was a refreshing amenity, as the heat and humidity were stifling during our stay . As I was swimming one afternoon, a very large iguana lumbered along the deck on his way to a large tree poolside, home - as I would see - to his family. Up he went... it was fun watching him and his family members move around on the branches high above ground. Would that I could remember the names of all the employees who made our stay so pleasant... a couple do come to mind: Tomaso, who greeted us with a warm smile at breakfast each morning as she took our food orders. She is to be commended for her work ethic! Tomaso was there morning, noon & night, working hard and making sure the guests each felt that they were the most important people she was attending to. And... Alejandro Serrano. What an AMAZING excursiones host you have in Mr. Serrano! My brother & I talked to him about going to see the waterfalls, and he set up a day trip that was absolutely the highlight of our visit! Couldn't have been planned any better either, as it was just a couple days before our departure. Alex drove us up into the montañas, where we stopped about halfway up to have a coffee and quesadillas. Through his numerous trips to the falls, he has gotten to know the locals well, and introduced us to the proprietors of this roadside establishment; they in turn greeted my brother and me as though we were longtime friends. Hugs all around when we departed for the falls... and what an adventure lay ahead! Not only did Alex drive us to the destination, he enjoyed jumping into the water, swimming, and wading in the waterfalls right along with us. While most hotels book your adventure for you and off you go, Alejandro made sure we felt just as "at home" as the locals who were also there enjoying the cool water offered by the Copalita River. Thank you, sir, for the perfect "coda" to our stay in Mexico.

We stayed at Hotel Las Brisas overnight because there was a problem with out flight out of…read moreHuatulco. It was pleasant, comfortable, and very close to La Crucecita, a small town where we chose to spend the evening wandering around. If we'd been there longer, it seems like there are a lot of activities on the resort, including a couple of nice beaches, worth checking out. When we were ready to leave the resort on excursions to town, the nearby ruins, or to the airport, the hotel readily arranged inexpensive transport with very nice drivers. The only change I'd make at Las Brisas would be to add several dozen more fans to the lobby and bar, as it was almost unbearably hot as we waited for a ride back to the airport. If you're looking for accommodation in Huatulco, Las Brisas is definitely worth considering!

As a matter of fact, the grounds are so big that they need to run a constant shuttle service around to get from point A to B. It took me a little while to get used to not being able to just walk to wherever I wanted to go. If you don't see a shuttle after a few minutes, don't worry call the front desk and one will be quickly sent out to meet you. The staffing was very nice and accommodating. The location is gorgeous. My room was located above a cliff over looking the bay. The rooms are spacious with equally spacious washrooms and with outdoor balconies. Lunch at the buffet was delicious, not all that great for dinner. But dinner at the other restaurants on site, where you needed a reservation, was outstanding.

The highway/road to the hotel is closed and will be indefinitely. A mountain is being moved to build the highway. It's open only from 4-7am or after 7pm. It's a dangerous drive when it is open and very dark and dirty. I was advised not to travel for my own safety. I called the hotel 3 days in advance. They would not allow a cancellation without full penalty despite the situation and several days notice; meaning no refund whatsoever. I asked if I could move my reservation to a later date and again the hotel would not accommodate. It took 48 hours for the hotel to respond. I repeatedly asked to speak to the Hotel Manager and was repeatedly ignored. I have not cancelled my reservation in hopes the hotel will change its mind and do the right thing. I would expect this hotel, as in all hotels, should put the safety of their customers first. Or at least notify customers of a major issue, like disruption to the access road, upon booking. Very upset! Update: the hotel reached out and said they have reviewed my request and will allow me to rebook in two days. That was the only option. Unfortunately the highway will not be open in two days and alternative arrangements cannot be made in that time frame. This offer is not only a reflection of poor customer service but shows no common sense whatsoever. I proposed any date in February and was declined. Again, I would NOT advise anyone book La Quinta Bella in Huatulco.

We had fresh fruit with delicious yogurt and topping, with sweet bread and a cookie. Had a tamale, taco, with all the dressing!! Inside the hotel is a boutique where you can get mezcal and other stuff, there is the only Starbucks in town and it's tiny. There is a bar and restaurant called Jaguar. We went to the pool area not very big is very well attended with kids and adults swimming and playing. For us we didn't go in found the water cloudy and to us not very clean. We did see staff cleaning the pool every morning though. Just wasn't for us. So we sat on the lounge chair enjoying the sun. Towels are available at the front desk and need to be returned there as well. Lobby was nice with a little breeze going through to keep you somewhat cool. There is complementary parking for small cars not built to accommodate trucks we noticed. There is a laundry room with only one washer and one dryer which is kept locked at all times. You'll have to let the front desk know and they have a person to let you in. They will let you know when available during the day. We did our laundry at 7 am by 8 am done. No one waiting to use and was less stressful as the day time. This Hotel is located by the marina we were able to watch the fishing boats leave in the morning and returning in the late afternoon. They do have big tour boats of the bays that include snorkelling. There is a great selection of restaurants all walking distance from the hotel. - The staff are very friendly - Hotel very clean - they will call a taxi if needed. - will definitely returning for future stays.

I felt very comfortable there, which says a lot for a young female on her first trip to Mexico! We stayed our first couple of nights here, then moved to a larger resort for a wedding. It's difficult to compare since the resort offered a different experience, but I would recommend that anyone who really wants to feel like part of the city should stay here. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay, despite the hotel undergoing some upgrades, and the pool being out of commission. Heck, the ocean was so close, I didn't need a pool! All of the staff were friendly and helpful. I was especially impressed with Roberto & Blanca's humanitarian efforts. They were setting up stations for a group of veterinarians who were planning to come tend to the local animals and wildlife. Roberto knows his town very well, and his enthusiasm was contagious. He was so excited to be the first to show me what sites to see, what stores I should visit, and who's who in town. This place is intimate, but the rooms are large and cool. We had a room with a balcony under a sprawling shady tree, two large beds with clean linens, free wifi (!!), a small dining area, and an armoire to store our belongings. The hotel is walking distance to the town center and a large grocery store. Not far down the road is some nightlife as well. There are so many reasons to recommend that you stay here, but the biggest one is the people. - Katy Summers; Seattle, Washington

Nico (owner?) was very gracious Zander helpful in his recommendations, from main dishes to dessert. He even suggested a locally-made chocolate mezcal that wasn't bad (though I prefer my mezcal pure).

My son had creme brûlée that had small pieces of coconut and not too sweet. And the bill, even with drinks and coffee came to less than $50 (US @ $16 pesos) for four of us; most reasonable. Can't go wrong and look forward to going again on my next trip to Puerto.
