Nirú Ocean Suites by Binniguenda

10/10 Excellent

"Everything the grandiose view, of the beach, the pool, the,room wuaaa food 😋, people.. everything so nice..thank you all of you huatulco"

Binniguenda Huatulco All Inclusive & Beach Club

8/10 Good

"Only stayed one night but customer service was great, food was decent with buffet style. The room was clean with AC and “select” rooms included amenities with morning coffee and mexican bread. The hotel includes shuttle transport every 30 minutes to their sister hotel which includes the same services and was nice with the beach next to it. Overall nice stay."

Las Brisas Huatulco – All Inclusive

8/10 Good

"STAIRS, STAIRS. STAIRS. Be prepared to go up and down the stairs to get to lobby, buffet restaurant, bars, beach, everything. Though they have carts who will pick you up, there will still be a lot of walking. I felt terrible my retired elderly parents had to walk so many stairs the entire time we were there. The staff were wonderful, buffet food was better than most all-inclusive. The main beach was calm and clear. Staff came around regularly to offer drinks and snacks (peanuts, seeds, etc). Would I stay here again? Probably not due to the stairs. By the third day I was over the stairs. We reserved 2 rooms, 1 which was easily accessible and another that required you to go down some stairs, then up to access your room. Well at check-in, the staff overlooked to give my elderly retired parents the accessible room so their initial reaction after seeing their room was not very good. Thankfully a cart driver gave us the idea to swap rooms and make the change at the front desk to reprogram our wristbands (which are also our keys). Again, the staff were all so wonderful and helpful."

La Vivienda Villa

10/10 Excellent

"The apartment had all the things I needed (refrigerator, stove, dishes, pots and pans, etc.); located a short distance from a main road in Huatulco where there was plenty of activity (shops, restaurants, hotels, beach) but far enough away to feel buffered from noise and traffic; because of the location, it is helpful to have a vehicle (as I did); hostess was helpful, polite and not at all obtrusive; there is no washer for guests but the hostess did my laundry for a minimal fee. It was the first time I stayed in a house instead of a hotel in Huatulco, and I'd stay here again rather than at a hotel."
