Santa Maria Huatulco|24.35km from city center
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!
