Accommodations

In Huatulco [1] as in other resorts, hotels on the beach are the priciest. Tangolunda’s [2] are most expensive, Santa Cruz [3] and Chahue [4] hotels fall in between, and Crucecita [5]’s hotels are the cheapest.

Virtually all Huatulco [1] lodgings are of modern standard, with private baths with hot water. Many, but not all, have air conditioning, a plus, especially in the warm spring. More information about most of the hotels listed is available through the Huatulco Hotel and Motel Association (toll-free U.S. and Canada tel. 866/416-0555, local tel. 958/581-0486, fax 958/581-0487, info [at] hoteleshuatulco [dot] com [dot] mx, www.hoteleshuatulco.com.mx [6]).

Huatulco accommodation rates are highly seasonal. Recommended hotels are arranged by the customary low-season rates, which rise anywhere between 20 percent and 100 percent, according to demand, during the high Christmas–New Year and Easter seasons and some puente (bridge) three-to-five-day holiday weekends.
