Coral Blue Hotels and Resort: Coral Blue - fantastic resort

It was a very nice place. We have enjoyed the peaceful surroundings and beautiful nature. The rooms were clean and had a nice furniture. Everything looked new. A staff was very friendly. The ocean was clean and it was fund to do snorkeling.

Secrets Huatulco: Unique Resort

The resort was incredibly clean and efficient. Easy to navigate! Beautiful views from everywhere, including all the rooms. There were activities all day long, live music often, and excellent service! The staff was really top notch. The food was quite good and the restaurants were always available without a reservation. My one complaint was the beach which obviously isn’t the fault of the resort in any way. There was one area to sit - far away from the water, all together under large thatched roo [... read more]fs. I prefer spread out under palm trees and with some options for location… there was no shade on the beach other than the large roofs. The sand was also not walkable as it was so abrasive and hot. So as a beach person, this was a disappointment.

Hotel Castillo Huatulco: Great resort!

My husband and I stayed at the Hotel Castillo from February 26-March 05, and it was wonderful. The staff were amazing and the food was delicious and they offered varieties. The rooms were clean and of good size. The bathroom had a foul smell in the early mornings and there is a musical tour bus that goes around in the night and if your room is facing the street it will keep you up for a while. The beach club was our favourite, the food was amazing and the staff worked so hard to make the guest [... read more]s happy. We would return to the hotel Castillo.

Barcelo Huatulco: Had a good time!

The resort was very clean. Staff were accommodating and work hard! Rooms were clean and in excellent shape. As with other resorts, be careful in the shower as hard to stabilize hot and cold. Entertainment was very good. Food in ala cart excellent and buffets were good.

Barcelo Huatulco: Great time at Barcelo

Had a wonderful time at Barcelo. Food was great. Italian and Seafood restaurants were very good. Service in the buffet and restaurants was A+. Room was nice and always clean. Would definitely return.

Las Brisas Huatulco: Enjoyable

Resort is a very big and beautiful place. Not recommended for people with mobility issues. All the staff were very pleasant. Grounds were wonderful to explore. Lots of greenery and wild life. We really enjoyed our vacation.

Barcelo Huatulco: Great place to stay

We just returned from our trip to Huatulco which we booked thru trip central with Erin Thunder who helped us with the entire booking process, which she was amazing to deal with. We stayed at the Barcelo which was all common areas and rooms were very clean and well kept. The food was great we tried all food areas offered during our stay and it offered a great selection of dishes for breakfast, lunch and dinner. All the hotel staff were very helpful and friendly. The beach area was fantastic but [... read more] you had up be up early to get your spot for the day. We will definitely stay there again in the future...it is a great location and will use trip central to book our return. Huatulco has the best weather we experienced and hotel didn't let us down at all.

Secrets Huatulco: Tired Resort

This resort is advertised as 5 star, unfortunately, it doesn't live up to that billing. The weather is Huatulco was great, 90 deg F every day. Therefore the pool and ocean are necessities. There was a black flag every day at the beach, apparently due to crocodiles being in the area, thus making the ocean a "swim at your own risk" deal. The beach sand is very coarse, making footwear necessary. That left the pool. Which I would describe as an embarrasment to the Secrets brand. There w [... read more]ere many tiles missing in the pool, that in itself, not really a big deal, there was mould every where around the pool. This is unacceptable. Tiles are a major fix, but mould is just lack of maimtenance. The Buffet was small, and had more of a caffeteria atmosphere than a resort Buffet. The food was adequate to get you to the next meal. Castaways was good for breakfast, however I went for supper one night, ordered the rib eye steak,medium rare, very hard to cut, even harder to eat. Not good enough. The ambience was good , as were the staff. The French, and Italian restaurant food was passable, however, unlike other Secrets Resorts that I have been to, no atmosphere/ decor , bright lights and again like caffeteria style. Unfortunate. The style and location of the resort is good. It is rumored to be getting renovated this spring ( 2025) that, and a management review would be welcomed. In closing, the weather made the trip for me. The small issues that kept showing up means that I would rate this resort no better than a 4 star. A fellow traveller rated it a 3 star. After renovations, this will be back to a 5 star in my opinion.

Las Brisas Huatulco: We Love Las Brisas!

Our very first trip was 9 years ago to Las Brisas, Huatulco. All we've talked about was going back and finally we did just that and took 3 others with us. Our Superior Room was identical to what it was 9 years ago - very comfortable - amazing bed and pillows! We enjoyed the buffet's superb offerings daily. The A La Carte's that we went to were also fabulous: Solarium Steakhouse was great, the service was the highlight thanks to Wahn and Antonio! The beaches at Las Brisa's are beautiful - the san [... read more]d is darker and more granular than the Mayan Riviera side. Swimming was wonderful - you can walk over to the coral reef and see fish and urchins too! We enjoy walking so getting around the resort was not difficult for us, but keep in mind it is a large resort with a lot of hills!! We simply love the simplicity of Las Brisas Huatulco. It's natural, authentic, cultural, gorgeous, and the customer service is top notch!

Barcelo Huatulco: Bad Experience

Let’s start with the positive Great Beach, rooms are clean. The rest is all negative the food was terrible. Drinks were awful unable to get any premium drinks unless you pay for the premium package. Not enough sun beds! If you get to the pool or beach around 8:00am you can forget getting any lounger as they are all reserved. Buffet was absolutely awful always out of ketchup plus long line ups for food. Almost impossible to get a bottle of water. Used the gym asked for a bottle as you only get 2  [... read more]bottles in your room was met with a really rude person with attitude, wanting us to drink from dispensers that have been sitting out in 30 degree weather. NO THANK YOU!! Since when is water bottles not included this is a disgrace Barcelo should be embarrassed and ashamed

Barcelo Huatulco: Did not meet expectations

The beach, ocean, and weather were great! The sand was coarse and difficult to walk along because of the steep slope but it was a beautiful cove. The rooms were nice, beds and pillows were comfortable, the shower was always hot, and housekeeping did a good job. BUT had to wake up at 6:30am each day just to get a chair under the shade on the beach. Not enough shade or chairs near the pool or the beach, it was an absolute headache. I preferred bottled water because I was pregnant while travelin [... read more]g and basically had to beg for more bottles. Tired to get some at the gym and at the bars but only got dirty looks and apparently no one speaks English when you need something there. The buffet was terrible our first night (it was Mexican night) and we went to bed hungry. Breakfast and lunch buffets were hit and miss, sometimes good but never consistent and always seemed like they were running out of food and options. The restaurants had good service and better food but we ended up going across the street for dinner at the restaurant because the dinner buffets were never great. Booked a boat ride around lunch at the water activities center and when we showed up at 4pm, the employee actually said he didn’t feel like going out, and that it was too much work to set up the boats. Two days before it was too busy, the day before it was too windy. This was our last full day there and we left disappointed.

Hotel Castillo Huatulco: Wonderful Resort

This hotel has us coming back each year. The staff are wonderful and very friendly. The food is great and a lot of variety. The rooms are very clean. The beach club also has wonderful staff and the food is amazing!

Las Brisas Huatulco: Best resort in Huatulco

Resort is about 40 years old however 50 acres of land there is stunning. The resort has three beaches with calm ocean. It's good for swim and if you like snorkeling there are so many different types of fish to see. Very clean facilities and people who work there are so helpful. Food in two buffets is yummy and so many variety of food is there.

Villablanca Huatulco: We love it!

The hotel is spotless, food amazing and the staff and service are top notch. It's in a very covenient location. We love our time at this hotel with beautiful Mexican people! One visit, and you'll want to keep returning!

Dreams Huatulco: Fantastic Resort

The room we stayed in was a little dated but we had a fantastic view! The beds are very comfortable. The choice of restaurants is very good. We loved Oceana and Seaside Grill. The pools are amazing! The beach is amazing, and the ocean water is clean and warm. We did a spa treatment (hydrotherapy and then a massage). Very nice! As expressed by many reviewers, the staff at this resort are amazing.

Las Brisas Huatulco: Great Resort

We really enjoyed our stay at this resort. When talking with a repeat guest while on our trip, she stated " you don't come for the accommodations, you come for the nature and grounds." She was right. The resort grounds, the beaches, the plants, and the wildlife are what make this place special. The group I was with stated the snorkeling right at the resort was better than any paid excursion they had taken. The staff are amazing and there is always something going on to participate in. The resor [... read more]t rooms are fine if your not picky. The age of the resort is definitely showing but its a clean resort. I will definitely return.

Dreams Huatulco: Good Resort

Good clean grounds and rooms. Beach is good and clean. Food was great except for Xmas. Check was bad but was for good for others. I will return but unsure when because direct flights. Ala cartes were good except for one.

Las Brisas Huatulco: Back to Brisas

Back to Brisas 14 years later. We came to this resort in 2010 and we were curious how it changed compared to back then. We have been to secrets, barcello and dreams since then. We love the huatulco area so here's what we thought. Pros. -25 min from airport. -Rooms were partually updated, bathrooms still need some work. We stayed in their basic room in Nubes section 3223, it was clean, a comfy king bed, ocean view with a large window, mini fridge with beers, pop & water restocked daily. A [... read more]C worked fine ( a little loud but you get used to it), ceiling fan, walk in shower. -Service was excellent everywhere, from the cleaning staff, waiters, bar tenders, sports beach workers everyone was excellent. -Drinks were mostly consistent and very good, my favorite was the mango margarita. And if you want a espresso/ cappuccino just ask at any food area. -Food at buffet was good, nice variety and always tasty. Snack bar is great for basic natchos, tortillas, burgers etc. A la cartes were very good, we tried 3 Mediterranean, Seafood and Solarium. -We didn't use pool.(we are ocean people) but we did put our toes in and it was very warm and seemed like a lot of activities happening -The 3 beaches were amazing (best in all the hotel zone), snorkel beach was full of beautiful fish, a turtle, a sting ray...again amazing. Family beach was shallow and perfect for children and more nervous ocean people. Sports beach was our main choice, great swimming area plus all the toys such as paddle boards, kayaks, Hobbie cats. There were plenty loungers and never had a problem finding a chair. There is also drink servers always asking if we would like anything. Entertainment was great, there was a live band or dj every night to dance to.. Shows were quite good as well. Cons - too many people smoking all over the resort, usually in a family resort smoking is quite restricted. -If you aren't very mobile you will struggle to get around this resort. There is a tonne of walking, there are trams constantly driving around always ready yo bring you to your room and back, but it would still be a challenge for many., But we were totally fine and welcomed the exercise. -If you want a balcony you will have to upgrade $$$. Otherwise just a window. In conclusion would I return?? Yes I absolutely would, but at the right price point, until some updating and renovation on rooms and facilities it should be kept at a reasonable price.

Secrets Huatulco: Huatulco

plants and birds are beautiful, can not beat the weather and location . The time share people are unsavory . Drinks and food were great, this is our 4th trip here. will come again for the location and locals.

Las Brisas Huatulco: Huatulco Dec. 2024

Always a pleasure to stay at Las Brisas. Large resort with multiple beach accesses. Good food, accomodations and great staff. Close to Santa Cruz and La Crucecita for those who wish to venture out.
