"Great location and seamless experience!"

Exclusive Villa with Private Beach and Beautiful Views to the Pacific Ocean

10/10 Excellent

"I cannot think of anything that could have made our vacation more perfect. It was my husband and I with our three children and their families - 13 of us in total. The way the rooms are set up each family had their own suite. It was like a 5 star all inclusive but we rented the entire resort! The staff treated us like royalty. Flora prepared 3 wonderful meals a day for us. She was accommodating to all of our food restrictions and made sure there was always something for the kids. Grisel is a beautiful person inside and out and was so attentive to our needs. Plus she makes great Margarita’s! I tell you, it was hard to leave this royal lifestyle behind . . A person can get pretty used to being spoiled. I would liked to have brought Grisel, Flora, and Emelia home with me. They do not speak English, so Google Translate worked well for communicating. The location of the villa is great. It is like having your own private place in an ocean side jungle. The pool area is awesome, the beach was fun (would not recommend swimming in the ocean though - Grisel said it would not be safe). The ocean breezes were lovely and took the edge off of the heat. Lots of outdoor lounging areas to just relax and enjoy. Again, it was a perfect family vacation and I would highly recommend this property to anyone wanting to go to Huatulco with a large number of people. With 13 of us there was still one room we did not use."

Stunning Beachfront Property

10/10 Excellent

"Room was perfect, view was exceptional… we had the best time so many great restaurants all in walking distance. Only draw back was elevator stopped working half way through our week and we had to walk up 4 levels multiple times a day. Would stay again in a heart beat though truly loved it."
