Huatulco: Natural setting, beautiful views.

Las Brisas Huatulco was an amazing site. Natural setting, lots of birds (excellent bird watching guided tour included), good nutritious food (boring menu if you have a long stay as it repeats the food choices), amazing staff (all the way from arrival to food management, groundskeeping, and housekeeping). Beautifully maintained gardens, smooth tenis court, great soccer field, super clean pools, 3 crystal clear beaches (all swimmable and accessible). Quick transportation if not inclined to walk th [... read more]e many stairs and paths available (pick up spots all have phones to call for quick pick up). Lots of hiking available to site seeing (phenomenal ocean views wherever you turn). I found the children's program (Angelitos) not being used because there is no transportation to the site from the Lobby or elsewhere in the property and it is far from the hotel rooms or the beaches. They had 3 staff and no kids the 3 times that I went to try to use it for my child (did not use it in the end). Beaches were beyond beautiful, super clean and tons of fish, urchins, and crabs to spot and watch. Away from the crowds. It is not a party hotel for young people (no disco), which was perfect for family and older adults. There is daily entertainment by an amazing team of staff (with pretty good dance training as well). Adults and kids in my family enjoyed every show. On the weekend, they bring vendors to sell crafts. Rooms: stayed at a basic room (no balcony or living room) but amazing ocean view from the windows. Loved the shower heads and the comfortable double beds. There was even a cloths line in the bathroom to hang bathing suits. Cannot say enough about the beauty and quietness of the place. if you want noise and party too, you can seek it out by the pool side and snack bar or the evening entertainment, but if you want to sleep in a hammock and enjoy your drinks, that too is available. Dislikes: having to pay for snorkeling mask (other resorts include it in the package) for 5 people adds up.

Great location

This resort is very clean, we’ll landscaped and nicely looked after. Food was good with 5 al a carte restaurants besides the big buffet. We never waited in line for food or seating. Ocean Water was warm a realitively calm.

Very Unique Resort

The hotel was great. Not fancy but the setting was unlike any resort we had been at in the past. Very unique as it has little villas set in the hill sides with all Canadian people as guests!!. Staff were great and very friendly.

3rd time an absolute charm!

On my 3rd time to the Huatulco/Oaxaca area, Feb 26 to Mar 5 2019, I continued to be amazed by the culture, beauty, people, safety, cleanliness and of course the absolutely consistent weather of the region! My first exposure to the region was a solo whitewater kayaking trip on the Copalita river 10 years ago. The second was at a resort on one of the Huatulco Bays in 2018. My 2019 trip started with the trip booking thru tripcentral, continued thru the Sunwing tour operator and accommodations at [... read more] Las Brisis resort. Everything was exceptionally coordinated and delivered to me and my companion to meet all of my expectations. The variety of activity items at the resort and food was incomparable! I unfortunately became seriously ill one day (from eating food off site (my fault)), BUT on my return to the hotel, the staff bent over backwards to assist me, including a check-up by the on-site medic and hotel staff.I was so grateful for their care and attention.! In the words of Arnold Schwarzenegger, " I be back" !!!

Great resort

Everything about this resort was great. Loved the beaches, snorkelling, and food was amazing. Staff very friendly and accommodating! Was nervous about going to Mexico due to safety, and in this area felt completely safe.

I had an amazing week at Las Brisas

I had a wonderful week at Las Brisas. It was everything that I hoped for and much more. Room - I upgraded to a Club Suite and stayed in the Caribe building in the Mar section. I arrived late at night and woke early the next morning and caught the last of the sunrise. I was blown away by the view from my room, just spectacular looking out over the bay and I had a huge terrace. The room was very spacious and I had everything that I could need, the mini fridge was well stocked with Corona, water [... read more], juice, pop, hips and chocolate treats and they were replenished daily. I also really enjoyed the coffee maker and the expresso pods that were provided. Sheets and linens were lovely. Resort - Spread over a huge area, was thankful for the golf carts as I had a knee replacement 3 months earlier. There are also larger shuttles to transport people throughout the resort. The scenery and the nature were spectacular, beautiful trees, cacti, plants, bougainvillea and other flowering shrubs were everywhere, a feast for the eyes. Due to the hilly nature of the landscape, you really get some spectacular views over the bay. The resort and the buildings are beautifully maintained and are Mexican in design. Beautiful pools and gardens. Beach - Three beaches, I personally enjoyed the middle beach. Lovely beach and the water was crystal clear, fantastic swimming. The only issue I had was it was a challenge getting in and out to to some drop offs and your feet really sunk into the sand. Once I was in, pure heaven. Drink service at the beach was excellent or you could just go yourself to the Tiki bars at either end of the beach. Main Buffet - I found the food to be really good at the main buffet, good variety and often a good temperature. I loved that you could get fish freshly grilled ( they also have other meats and hamburgers). I really enjoyed the Mexican dishes that were offered, especially the chicken in a tomato mole sauce......delicious and beef in an enchilada sauce. I also had some delicious tacos and guacamole and tomatilo salsa etc. They also had many delicious non Mexican offerings, a great selection of fruits, vegetables and desserts. A La Carte Restarants - I tried four of the a la carte restaurants. El Pescador (seafood), the La Kasbah (morrocan), El Mexicano and Mediterraneo (Mediterranean). My favourite was El Pescador and La Kasbah was a close second. I went to El Pescador 3 times during my week as I had unlimited a la cartes with the Beach club. A lot of people find the Kasbah uncomfortable because the decor is authentic and the seats and tables are low. I encourage you to give it a chance because my main course was the most delicious lamb that i have had in a long time. The decor is beautiful and you are entertained by a young beautiful belly dancer. Unfortunately I was not feeling well the night that I went to the Mexican restaurant and ended up leaving after my appetiser. I did not like the Mediterranean restaurant, my appetiser was cold and not flavourful, I left before my main due to poor service. Misc. - The music was nice in the bar area in the evening. I ate late so I did not go to any of the shows. The drinks were good and there was a lot of variety. My bartender at the beach made me a terrific Mojito! Staff - Wonderful, friendly people, overall great service. The scenery is spectacular in this area and I will definitely be returning to Las Brisas!

Jungle like Experience

We were at Las Brisas for 2 weeks and had a wonderful time. The resort is huge and is like being in a jungle. Beautiful gardens and trees/cacti everywhere. Rooms and all of the facilities were super clean. However we did experience a sewage smell in our room which came and went. Don't stay in room 2117! Most staff were attentive except for the Mexican and steakhouse restaurants. Service very slow and food mediocre. The Mediterranean was the best!. Beaches were beatiful and clean with easy acces [... read more]s and many colours of fish. Visit Santa Cruz a charming little village. Le Crucecita was too busy with lots of traffic. The stairs and shuttles got a little tedious after 2 weeks. And the rsort was just too big with rooms quite far from pools, beaches and restaurants. So would not return.

Beautiful!

We were a two couples (ages 55 to 65) from rural Ontario, looking for sun, interesting landscape and culture, relaxation, water sports, good food and comfortable accommodations. Las Brisas Huatulco more than met our expectations. Whether a la carte or buffet, the food was varied, fresh and delicious. Friendly service always and very hard working staff, including the activity coordinators. My friend and I enjoyed a very culturally informative and visually stunning shopping excursion to a Mexi [... read more]can market in Pochutla, a photographer's dream. Set on a hillside in the Sierra Madres, the modern, warm architecture of the resort presents breathtaking views of the nearby bays and coastlines. Lots of stairs and steep walkways, but always 6 seater shuttles available, rarely with any wait time. So no complaints from us. Highly recommended.

Amazing a

Beautiful resort. Amazing staff. Love the hills. Burn calories so you can totally enjoy the food and drinks. Shuttle available if you have had a couple of drinks. Only issue is management controlling expenditure limiting staff st the a la cartes. So unfair to the staff and client.

Great family vacation

We were pleasantly surprised by the hotel. The grounds were very well kept, beaches are very nice and child friendly, my kids loved the pool and entertainment. Overall, we loved the location, beaches and the resort. We plan to be back next year.

Nice resort

it was a nice resort, lots of stairs so not really handicapped friendly. We were able to upgrade when we arrived as our original room had a fair amount of ants. We enjoyed our stay in the upgraded room. Close proximity to little towns and went to some meals off the resort which were great tasting and good prices

Winter Vacation 2019

Just returned from a 12 day/11 night all inclusive WestJet vacation booked through TripCentral. Special thanks to Danielle Pyette at TripCentral for a great location/vacation suggestion. Extra thanks to the Las Brisas WestJet representative Angle you are awesome! As seen in many other reviews Las Brisas is an older resort with Lots of stairs/hills. The guest shuttles are very accommodating and always prompt when requested. Rooms are adequate/nice/comfortable. We booked the Las Brisas Beach Clu [... read more]b Suite. The extra friendly staff, the great food, the great beaches and the well maintained grounds are why I give Las Brisas a 5 star rating. Can’t say enough about the Amazing staff and food. We ventured off resort to local towns. The restaurants/transportation/local people are also great/friendly-always felt safe. And of coarse the weather is perfect. Highly recommend Las Brisas Huatulco-we will be returning.

Very well run resort

While the grounds are sprawling, and you definitely need to be fit to manage all the stairs (there are no elevators to get between many locations; do NOT come here if you cannot manage stairs), the many levels and the space between facilities make it seem uncrowded and relaxed. The general vibe is laid back, but efficient. The staff is relentlessly helpful, and the facilities are very clean. Overheard someone complaining that there was no food available between 11:30 am and 1 pm. Never  [... read more]heard another complaint, and seriously, if you can't stuff breakfast in you before 11:30, you could order room service (maybe there's a fee for that, not sure). We will be returning.

Beautiful Resort

The resort is on a large piece of property so feels spacious and easy to find a sense of quiet and calm. There is a nice view of distant mountains and the grounds have beautiful plants and lots of birds. We really enjoy the daily tennis lessons (Paco is a great teacher) and yoga. Restaurants are good, and we enjoyed the Beach Club rooms with a balcony and view, along the additional services.

Totally enjoyed our stay!

We really had a great week, the only thing that we did not appreciate was the dirty floor in the room. The floor was not washed properly. Walking from the shower to the bed our feet got dirty. Otherwise no other issues.

Amazing place for a family

Second time in this beautiful resort. This is a gem. Lots of vegetation lots of amazing views. Food is good maybe can improve in more selection but food is good and fresh Lots of guacamole and Mexican food yuumy!! . People is amazing super friendly and helpful.

I traveled to many places this is for sure the best place . Huatulco us super safe for family. I am from Mexico and live in Canada I will avoid Cancun area /Puerto Vallarta very dangerous right now!

Exceeded my expectations!

Las Brisas Huatulco is set on a point sprawling over 400 acres of tropical gardens, ocean views and quiet cove beaches. The rooms are all set away from the noisy public areas. If you don’t mind either taking a shuttle or enjoying the walk to your accommodation, you’ll be rewarded with excellent swimming and snorkeling, lots of fun activities and free water sports, tropical birds and romantic starry nights! Our favourite restaurant was the Mexican one for its view of the snorkeling bea [... read more]ch. We loved having breakfast there each morning. We took one Sunwing excursion to visit the 7 Bays, a day of sailing, snorkeling and a stop for a fine seafood lunch. The best recommendation I can give you is to say that we met a great number of people who have returned to this resort year after year. If you really want to relax and enjoy Mexican hospitality and natural beauty, choose Las Brisas over some of the other fancier resorts in the area. A true hidden gem!

An enjoyable break

Very attentive staff, close to town, 3 beaches all very nice. Music at the pool not to our liking And also people were leaving their towels on deck chairs while going for lunch, and taking prime shade areas for hours at a time.

Great Family Resort

Exceptional specialty beaches for sports, relaxing and snorkeling. No shortage of lounges and chairs. Clean spacious rooms. Ours had a magnificent view of the beaches and bay. All of the restaurants had interesting selections and we were always served fresh,quality offerings. The staff were always friendly and helpful. Although English speaking abilities varied with the staff, there was no problem communicating and they always seemed to 'Do Their Best'. The elevation was challenging at times but [... read more] the shuttle services were usually available to save the day after a big dinner and drinks. Fantastic vacation from the Westjet flights each way to the daily enjoyment of the resort amenities. We will be returning with the entire family and grandchildren next year.

Best resort we have been to in Mexico!

Well kept facility, clean, friendly. Food at buffet has lots of variety and we didn’t suffer from the day five I’m done with this syndrome. Shows fun but under promoted. Specialty restaurants ok but not great. Wifi that actually works. Tangalonda bay beautiful as is surrounding area.
