Every time I visit Huatulco I stay in this hotel. I guess renovations were made during the pandemic as there's now a swimming pool and the beds are more comfy than in the past. Only downside is the old shower! They also offer a coffee break now. Right in front of the hotel you have the taqueria El Padrino serving excellent authentic tacos at very affordable price!
The service its good and the facilities are very good i would definitely return to this place
This hotel is exactly what you pay for. Overall it is comfortable and located in a convenient place. Every day I was able to walk to La Crucecita square, which provides a variety of restaurants and snack bars. The nearest beaches are a short taxi-ride away, or even a 25-minut walk if you're trying to get your steps. The beds were comfortable, and the showers had warm water. The Wi-Fi did not work for the majority of my stay (even though they have 3 different networks to connect to). Also, although the rooms have AC, the unit in my room was pre-programmed to stay at a certain temperature. I slept comfortably but am used to keeping a cooler room. I would still come back for the price and location.
It's good but a little far from center. The wifi is not the best, they offer coffee and bread for free.
