If you are American, or Canadian, I would suggest you avoid this place. It’s an old, reasonably well-maintained place with a great view, and very accommodating personnel. That’s it for the positives. It advertises “air conditioned”, which is true. But, the A/C is only in the bedrooms, and in my experience, they were little more than wall fans. Do you have any idea how hot the downstairs of these villas get when the temperature is 90 degrees outside? Probably around 80 or so. I was moved to another villa to no avail—same conditions. The place is rather isolated, with nothing to do but swim in the postage stamp size swimming pool. If you want to go to town (Crucesita, or Santa Cruz) you need a rental car or taxi. After 4 days of a 15 day vacation, I had to move to another hotel at my expense. They were not interested in a refund. Fortunately, Hotels.com was really good about this and refunded me the difference. Also, if you want to go to a beach, you can walk about 1/2 mile to Arrocito Beach, which is quite nice, but far from the best one for snorkeling. Restaurants? Fortunately, there is one, Oceans, at the condo called Cosmo near the beach. Other than that, back to the car, or taxi—every time! Not a good experience for me! Huatulco itself is fabulous, with a lot of reasonably priced hotels to choose from. Unless you like the idea of being somewhat isolated, I’d opt for a place closer to the city. By the way, a tax fare anywhere in the city is 30 pesos!
