Great rooms

Favourite part of the stay was the rooms, they are all situated so there is nobody directly above or below you. Keeps privacy high and the noise low. It's very spread out that way, so expect a lot of walking or taking the shuttle carts to where you want to go. Hautulco is very hot, several degrees hotter than Cancun or Puerto Vallarta for example. Beaches were nice, but sand is very course, so you will sink into your ankles when you step into the water. Not much for waves, it was pretty cal [... read more]m. Pools are nice, and had plenty of available chairs, mind you it wasn't high season when we went. I'd say the resort is about 90% local Mexicans, 8% Canadians, and 2% other nationalities. Food was decent, nothing spectacular, although the roast beef served for dinner in the buffet was really good. You won't starve! Drinks were good, and service was very good, and friendly. Try and tip if you can, since I noticed the locals weren't much for tipping, so I tried to make up the difference a little. Back to the rooms, I appreciated that the bathroom and shower area had an actual door, unlike some where it was wide open to the rest of the room. I didn't really get around to seeing the entertainment or shows, as the app didn't really describe very well what they were. The sheer heat kept me from trying tennis or other physical activities. I think one of the days it got to 36c and that was without adding the humidity factor. Takes some getting used to! Taxi to town is cheap, only 100 pesos, but be careful, they will drop you off if you don't ask otherwise at some of their "friends" tourist trap shop. Get used to saying "no thanks". Very expensive shops, I'd just buy at the boutique in the hotel to be honest, it's similarly priced without the extra step into town. All in all, a good stay.

Las Brisas Huatulco

This is our 14th time at Las Brisas, stayed for 2 weeks and of course, had a wonderful time. Weather is always great, played lots of tennis - A big thank you to Paco (Tennis Pro) for his superb teaching and instruction. Really improved my game. Will be back for sure!

Nice beaches!

My husband and I recently had the pleasure of staying at the resort, and overall we were happy with our experience. Initially, we encountered a few issues, but the staff worked diligently to resolve them promptly, allowing us to settle in and enjoy our vacation. The resort offered a wonderful stay, and we appreciated the flexibility to book dinners at various restaurants anytime we asked. Our favorites were the Steakhouse, where we enjoyed the rib eye steak (and avocado appies were a delight [... read more]ful surprise), and the Mediterranean seafood restaurant, where the limoncello - tiramisu dessert was a highlight. We stayed at the resort for 10 days, and the food in the main buffet was just okay. We wished they'd offer more fresh fish and chicken options on the grill. Maybe that's something to consider for future menus! One highlight was the grilled octopus—it was cooked to perfection and absolutely yummy! At Las Brisas, the ocean and beaches were spectacular and we didn’t go in the pool at all. The beaches were clean and shallow and the water was calm most of the time, making it perfect for swimming.  We weren't pool people, but the ocean was perfect, and we loved that we never had trouble finding a spot to relax. Kudos to the beach staff for their great service—bottled water was served early mornings, making it easy to stay refreshed, and drinks were served starting at 11:00 am daily. We loved the grounds; the vegetation is beautiful! The resort is huge, and there is plenty of  walking involved if you are looking to stay active. However, they offer transportation via small carts, which was a lifesaver. We loved strolling to the buffet for breakfast and then heading straight to the beach. By the afternoon, however, we'd usually hop on one of those carts to escape the heat—perfect for lazy days. Also, our room had the best views straight to the ocean, we couldn't ask for more! The bed was comfortable, but the pillows were too high for our taste. The staff were able to swap them out and offered us a few options. Like anywhere it depends on your expectations. We chose this resort because of its wonderful beaches. Our suggestion for improvement would be the bar area where guests gathered after dinner, was small, and it was challenging to find a sofa or chair to relax and socialize with fellow travelers. More seating in this area would be great. A big thank you to all the staff for making our stay comfortable and memorable. We would recommend the resort to friends and family!

Really nice resort for active people

Definitely not a luxury resort but still good quality. Best suited to active people without mobility issues as there is a lot of walking, stairs and hills unless you want to be taking a shuttle all the time (even though the shuttles are great). Overall the food was good but often the pre-prepared items at the buffet were lukewarm or cold and not always fresh which was so disappointing. We quicky learned to stick to the omlet station for your morning eggs and to go to the lunch buffet as soon  [... read more]as it opened so that food was still warm. Our only dinner at the buffet was cold so we didn’t go again but the restaurants were much better. Our room in the Mar section was huge and comfortable with great balcony views. The beaches are great for swimming. We refused to join the lounge chair game of reserving early but still managed to get a spot somewhere even though it could be a challenge. Lovely staff and extremely friendly Canadian and Mexican vacationers were a highlight of our trip.

2nd time visit for a reason, excellent resort!

This is a safe, clean top notch resort with excellent beaches, excellent free on site transport to any area on the property, excellent food choices with multiple restaurants, a good gym, close to an awesome town.

An incredible experience!

We (4 Canadian women in our 60's) were fortunate to spend 10 days at the Las Brisas resort and enjoyed every moment. The staff were kind, friendly & helpful, the grounds and beaches were pristine, the food was delicious. So many activities available. Tennis and pickleball courts, snorkeling at the beach, beautiful pool areas, botanical gardens and walking paths. The resort property covers a large area. Those who don't enjoy walking can call for a shuttle to get around.

Lovely resort

Exceptionally clean resort and beautifully maintained grounds. This resort is really spread out with many steep stairs throughout so would be difficult to get around if you have mobility issues. Staff are friendly and overall was a pleasant experience

Second time at Las Brisas, and we will be booking again!

We love Las Brisas for the following reasons: Wonderful staff, a variety of a la carte choices and food choices at the buffets, spacious, clean rooms with gorgeous views of the ocean ( we were in the Mar section both times and had a huge balcony, Bering and Mediteraneo buildings). Our room both times was quiet, never noisy and always cleaned, mini fridge stocked. The staff never missed a day and if we requested more coffee or water, they provided it. We could not ask for a better room! We [... read more] never got the maid's name or even saw her, nor did we see the mini fridge person, but they did a fantastic job EVERY day! We always had fantastic service from front desk staff and the concierge when booking out a la carte. Check in was quick, friendly and easy! The ocean is SWIMMABLE, no undercurrent or huge waves AND you can see the bottom of the ocean clearly and NO sargassum/seaweed! There is one bay to swim and snorkel, one bay to swim and another activities and swimmable bay. We would spend our days in and out of the ocean. You can see many fish while snorkelling. There are plenty of loungers for everyone and shade! The grounds are beautifully manicured and cared for. There are 5 a la carte restaurants and a buffet. So many choices! We never went to any shows as we are up early and in bed early!! Pickle ball and tennis are extremely popular here! There are lots of places to walk and get your exercise. People say there is too much walking and hills and stairs, but the shuttles run constantly. You just call from your room and they are there in a minute or two. If you are out and about, you can easily jump on one. We prefer the exercise so rarely took a shuttle. They offer a bird watching tour every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. It is approximately a 2 hour tour and definitely worth checking out! You meet in the lobby just before 7 AM. They do have binoculars you can borrow. We have so many staff that made our vacation special, it would be a long list, but the ones that were consistent EVERY single time we saw them, were the egg station beautiful ladies at the Mexican buffet, Eva and, I didn't get the other name...Arora, Agave? but they almost always worked together. They had the most wonderful smiles for us, and made our day! As well as they made scrumptious omelettes! The other very lovely lady was at the Brisas Beach Club Lounge, Novelle and she was the best. The Brisas Beach Club Lounge is open from 7-11AM for breakfast and 5-7PM for appetizers and drinks. It was such a nice way to meet people and the appetizers were scrumptious! Fermin at the Mexican bar is always friendly and makes the best margaritas! We booked Brisas Beach Club for a few reasons, that mean a lot to us, but it is your personal preference. We want a balcony, we want an a la carte every night, we like a room with a view and we loved the Brisas Beach Club Lounge! Here are some of the staff, that I asked for their names and who made having dinner even MORE enjoyable. El Pescador staff, Adrienne, Leonardo Mediterranean staff, Audifred Martinez, Gabriel, Alberto (who we met two years ago) We consistently had exceptional service at the Mediterranean. Main Buffet, Roberto - we only went once for lunch at the main buffet. Solarium staff, Omar and Pablo, Shayla, Marco (he took lots of photos for us, so nice!) La Pergola for lunch is nice and it opens at noon, where the main buffet opens at 1PM. We never went to the Mexican or Kasba this time. We never had any issues finding things to eat. There were lots of choices! *The only negative comment I can make about the a la cartes is that quite often the vegetables were not very hot, but the meat or fish would be*. Our first morning, we were looking for a lounger on the beach, and wanted beach towels, but were too early to get any. One of the staff overheard us, and went and brought us two towels! His name was Christian. Very thoughtful. ALL the beach waiters were awesome! They came around regularly. We didn't always order, but they still asked. We were impressed! We have to say that this is probably our favourite resort. Many guests have been here between 1-24 times, and are coming for 3 and 4 weeks now! That says a lot. We are definitely going to book the minute the dates and times come up and hope that the prices stay reasonable! With our most sincere appreciation to all the staff that made our trip absolutely perfect. I apologize for not getting every name. I need to bring a notepad and pen with me to each place! Looking forward to seeing you next year!

Las Brisas, Hautulco

First time visitors to this resort and it did not disappoint. We loved the beautiful greenery and as non-swimmers has one of the few beaches where you can swim without feeling like you’re being sucked out to sea! Food was great and the weather even better! Will definitely return!

Amazing environment but property outdated

The environment of the resort is amazing. The service of the staff is excellent and efficient. The food in the buffet and therestaurants is good but not excellent. The room is spacious and clean, but the condition and the decor is quite outdated.

Amazing Resort

We've been the Las Brisas Huatulco about a dozen times. It checks all the boxes. Set on a beautiful piece of land, with lots of tennis/pickleball, great swimming beaches, good food, comfortable rooms with great service and staff. We get lots of exercise walking around the resort but would caution anyone with mobility issues, ... this is not the place for you.

Amazing Resort

My husband and I just spent 10 days at Las Brisas in Huatulco, and we couldn’t be happier with our stay! The beaches are absolutely stunning—perfect for swimming and snorkeling for hours in clear, calm waters surrounded by beautiful fish. At the beach, Angel and Nadia were truly outstanding and made our experience even more special. The buffet offers a wide variety of options, so there’s something for everyone, and the à la carte restaurants serve delicious meals that we thoroughly enjoyed.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

Pretty close to Excellent!

I truly enjoyed all aspects of this resort, from the beaches, to food options, the beverages, the service was awesome and the quality of everything was fantastic! I had a couple of room issues upon arrival but they were resolved within 30 minutes of my complaint.

Amazing beach

This is a very nice resort for the money. Very nice rooms, the property is spotless. The people mover trolleys are awesome and are constantly zipping around the resort, but there are a few areas where several steps are mandatory. Don't let the steps scare you off, there are thousands and thousands of people that come here every year that do just fine. Food - we found that the buffet is far superior to the a la carte restaurants, which is not unusual in our experience at all inclusive resorts. [... read more] At this resort though, the a la carte restaurants cater to the authentic Mexican cuisine, so if that is not to your taste, then you will be better off sticking to the buffet restaurant. No need for the 5AM chair dance, lots of chairs both at the pool and the beach. This property has the best beach in the area, we spoke to many people that had been to Dreams and Secrets and said their beaches are almost unusable, but we were on the beach our entire stay. AMAZING SNORKELING right off the beach, which is why we booked here in the first place. Overall a great place for the price, but for us the evenings are just way to hot in Huatulco - it just doesn't cool off like the many other places we have been.
