“I love”
★★★★★
“I loved the hotel; it was very comfortable and welcoming. The design blends seamlessly with the environment, incorporating vegetation and making you feel immersed in nature while maintaining all the comforts of a modern hotel. There are wild animals that aren't invasive but are easily spotted, and it's pleasant to observe them. The Oaxacan and Mexican food is excellent, and the salsas are definitely spicy. It's not a hotel geared towards foreigners; as a Mexican tourist, I felt comfortable...”
★★★★★
“I thought that with the high demand they would have more staff at reception, but they can't keep up with all the people who arrive. Also, if you arrive early, they don't give you your room until 3 pm. The only restaurant you can eat at is Bella Vista. I'm not complaining about the food, but for two nights' stay, it's only one à la carte dinner, which I think is very bad, and some of the staff's attitudes made me doubt my stay.”
★★☆☆☆
“My experience at the Las Brisas Huatulco hotel was excellent. I especially appreciated the friendliness of the staff, the variety of events and activities, and the delicious and varied food. I believe it's a great option for those looking to relax and enjoy a complete experience during their stay.”

Know before you book
- Limited water sports equipment, waits common
- Mediterranean à la carte disappoints
- À la carte tied to length of stay
- Buffet thins out near closing time
What you should know
What to Know
The property sprawls across a cliffside, so plan on golf cart shuttles between your room, the beach, and Bellavista dining; book à la carte restaurants at check-in and bring bug spray.
high confidence
What you'll enjoy
- Golf carts run frequently across the property
- 15 minutes from airport, 5 from town
- Safe to walk into town by cab
- Own water purification system
Heads up
- Cart waits can approach an hour daily
- À la carte reservations limited by nights booked
- Bellavista lacks AC and elevator access
- Bring mosquito repellent
WATCH OUT: Seasonal heads-up
- June through October is rainy season on Mexico's Pacific coast, with the highest chance of tropical storms in September
- Pacific surf can be stronger outside the protected cove during winter swell season
Expect hills and rely on shuttle carts; wi‑fi may be weak in rooms; reservations needed for a la carte restaurants.
Good to know
- The resort is built into a cliff — expect stairs and use the shuttle if mobility is a concern
- The private beach is a small protected cove, not a long open stretch of sand
- Specialty restaurants require reservations, so book early in your stay
- Huatulco is quieter and less touristy than Cancun or Riviera Maya — fewer English speakers and excursions
- Tennis, squash, and a kids' club with indoor play area make this a strong rainy-day or active-family pick
