Santa Maria Huatulco Homestays

The location and views from the hotel are amazing; however, it is far from being a 5 star luxury hotel, let alone a 4 diamond hotel. The hotel lacks maintenance, the seats in the Mexican restaurant are disgusting (forgot to take more photos) but that's not even the worst of it. My evaluation is based on the quality of the food and drinks...and at least 50% of the recent reviews agree with me. The drinks are of the worst quality, the cheapest. There is only one choice of each type, even tequila and mezcal (being in Oaxaca!). Any vinegar is better than the wine they offer, unless you buy a bottle at 3 times the original price. Even with Club Preferred, you can't find slightly better drinks available at all the bars, unbelievable! The Oriental restaurant is a joke, the quality of the food horrible. They sell you many restaurants and in the four nights I stayed there, they never opened the one specializing in seafood, to give an example. The seafood in the other restaurants is another joke: only ”Dorado” and ”Tilapia” fish, the cheapest in the whole ocean. The rest of the food is OK but not at the level of quality that ”Secrets” sells you. There was one day I couldn't even find ice cream in the whole hotel and not to mention the quality of the coffee: I like Espresso and the taste of the coffee was horrible. The line for the breakfast buffet was always huge. Last two days, they opened a second temporary breakfast buffet and it was really bad with limited options. Don't pay for a luxury hotel because it is NOT. First and last time at the Secrets chain. On the other hand, the staff was very friendly, working all the time and helpful.

We spent the week of April 16 - 23 at Las Brisas. All I can say is wow! We've been to Mexico many times and we found our week here to be the most enjoyable so far. This was our first time in Huatulco and we have fallen in love with the area. The airport is small, easy to navigate and wasn't busy when we arrived or departed. Another bonus is that the hotel is only about 25 minutes from the airport. Our last trip was to Cancun and this experience was so much less stressful! We loved that the resort is large and spread out. We like to walk so only shuttled when we had our luggage. We found walking the path was wonderful. We especially enjoyed it at the end of our evening, heading back to our room. It's all lit up and looks so pretty. There are lots of stairs in the hotel itself which could be a bit tricky for anyone with mobility issues, but the exercise was an added bonus for us. The shuttles are moving constantly and when we called for them to come get us and our luggage the last day he was there practically before I hung up the phone. The food was so good! I had read some reviews when I first booked earlier in the year that were a bit worrisome so we were very pleasantly surprised. We met lots of other guests who felt the same way. We heard no complaints from anyone we talked to. We booked the Brisas Beach Club Suite and thoroughly enjoyed the included perks! We had a lovely room with a balcony and a stunning view. We were able to book all the specialty restaurants. We did all but one but we will do that one next time. We hadn't planned to have breakfast in the lounge but popped in the second day to check it out and decided to give it a try. It was wonderful and we ate there every morning. Our server was Nancy and she was amazing. She had our mimosas and coffee to us as soon as we walked in. We also went back in the early evening for happy hour. We thought it was worth the extra cost and will for sure go that route again. The bars were great, especially the one by the beach next to the towel hut. My husband thought that Oliderio at the beach bar made the best drinks we've had at any resort. And so fun to talk to. All the staff we encountered were wonderful. We were loyal to another resort chain and hesitant to try something new because of the free upgrades and other perks. But we're very happy we decided to give Las Brisas Huatulco a chance. We will be back!

It is a good cost-benefit hotel but it really lacks many things, their desserts are terrible, the service is quite decent for what you pay, the facilities need a good remodel.

Marina Resort & Beach Club is AMAZING. This place is in a prime location close to everything in town. It's across the street from Bahia de Santa Cruz, 10 min walk to ”El Centro” (downtown), and a short drive to everything else. It has a beach club with high-end views of the marina, delicious food, and drinks. Cabo, Cancun, and Acapulco have nothing on this place. This is a hidden gem that will make you regret not visiting sooner. The staff is friendly and extremely attentive. We could not be happier with their hospitality. A five-star resort without the cost. The resort fees include an outstanding breakfast. I highly recommend their molletes. We stayed in room 522 which has spectacular views of the ocean to the left, the pool in the center, and the lush mountains to the right. Million-dollar views, for sure! We highly recommend this place. As I mentioned earlier, the only regret you will have is not visiting sooner;) Thank you to all the amazing staff, especially Max who went the extra mile to make our stay that much more enjoyable even when we thought there wasn't anything left to fulfill. All expectations- were exceeded. Fondly, Claudia and Melecio

The hotel is generally well as it has a hostel and is a small Resort and is comfortable as bad that if it does bad stay is hygiene as there are many mosquitos and so it costs not good is not beach and though it is close and in the Marine is uncomfortable for what he charges maybe he would come back
