Top Hotels Near Playa Santa Cruz in Santa María Huatulco from NZ$79

"We had an excellent stay at Brisas. It was our first time in this part of Mexico, met lots of people who visit frequently and have tried all resort options but say this one is at the top. The beach’s here are beautiful and very swimable as the open ocean doesn’t crash on them like the other resorts. Excellent snorkelling right at the resort. If you want to go to town it’s a flat rate of 100 pesos. A couple things that could be improved are a larger lounge area for in the evening and at night. Seats are full and you end up having no where to sit. I never got to sleep in once in my trip due to having to get up at 4:30-5 just to secure somewhere to sit for the day. The resort can be tricky to navigate aa it is very hilly and although walkable is quite the workout, especially if you are older or less mobile. They do have carts that run through the day that are always quick to pick you up. All the workers here are very hard working and want you to have a great experience. Huatulco draws an older audience, we were some of the very few around the 25-30 year age group. This allows for a more laid back environment compared to cancun or pv. Also, note that not all rooms have a balcony. We will be sure to be back in the future."

"This resort hotel is the best I’ve ever stayed at. Wow. The rooms are huge and spotless with balconies (if you book a balcony room) that offer amazing views and such a wonderful space to relax. Quiet hotel an area but beach is lively and fun during the day. Food was amazing and very little wasted food which I love wit"

"We completely loved our time in Huatulco! It’s a beautiful town with a nkind and welcoming community. The condo is directly on the beach making easy to go swimming multiple times a day, sit on the beach under an umbrella and drink limonadas and eat guacamole! The location is perfect for anyone with mobility issues. There is an elevator in the condo and there are many restaurants and shops with flat, well maintained sidewalks. The park 1/2 a block away has a market on Saturday’s that is fun and convenient to get some organic produce and a variety of items. There a three banks within a couple blocks with ATM’s to get pesos. There is an amphitheater you can see from the balcony where various local events occur. If you want to be close to everything and experience the local culture- this is a perfect location. Also, the immigration office is just down the beach- a 5 minute walk - if you are applying for residency. The condo is comfortable and clean, with a full kitchen, washer and dryer, AC, and fantastic views of the beach, sunrise and Pacific. There are nights when the music on the beach goes all night. It’s mostly families having fun with music and laughter. I didn’t experience a single situation with fighting, violence, angry voices or children throwing fits near the condo nor in town. There are taxis close by at all times and they are inexpensive. It’s easy to go shopping, snorkeling at Playa Entrega, or dining in town. Google Translate really helps with communication. "
