I chose this hotel solely for its location — it’s perfect for catching an early flight, just a 5–7 minute walk to the Huatulco Airport. Unfortunately, everything else about my stay was a disappointment. The air inside the room was unbreathable. It smelled like off-gassing from new materials (paint or furniture?), and the air conditioner just recirculated the bad air. I had difficulty breathing and couldn’t stay in the room with the windows closed. The only way to get through the night was to keep the balcony door wide open and run the ceiling fan. But because the hotel is right next to a highway, I spent the night listening to semi-trucks braking and honking at the intersection. Sleeping was nearly impossible. The room was extremely minimalistic — no mini-fridge, no drinking water, no iron or ironing board, nowhere to hang clothes, and the TV remote didn’t work. For the price, I expected at least basic amenities. There are no dining options nearby. The only thing within walking distance is an OXXO convenience store. (Restaurants inside the airport close around 4pm, once the last flight leaves.) To be fair, the king-size bed was comfortable, the bathroom was clean, and the room itself appeared well-kept. I’ve stayed in central Huatulco for less than half the price in beautiful apartments with kitchens, pools, peace and quiet, and walkable dining options. I regret staying here. Next time I'll stay in the Center in comfort, take a cab, and still save money.
