Check Availability & Pricing
Hotel Information: Combining the styles of a whitewashed Mediterranean village and Mexican elements such as thatched-roof palapas, the tranquil resort has ample sunbathing space on beach and poolside sunning lawn. The resort contains unique architectural touches such as an open-air building with three side-by-side, orange, tunnel-like rooms sheltering a garden stream, a bar, and a restaurant. Families arrive during school holidays, and adults come year-around.
Amenity highlights: A 111-meter (365-ft) pool contains a series of channel-linked open areas and features a beach entry, built-in lounges, and a garden island Adjacent to one end is a spa tub and a toddlers' pool. Although all beaches in Mexico are public, the resort's 300-meter (328-ft) frontage on Tangolunda Bay is accessible to the public only from the ocean, making the beach exclusive for resort guests only.
Insider tip: Tours to mountainside coffee plantations above the bays of Huatulco include a visit to a waterfall and swimming in the pond below.
