Hotel Castillo Huatulco

The staff were so amazing and accommodating!

The beds could have been better, but it’s Mexico

Most of the guests were from the middle of Canada. The guests also included Mexican families, a few yanks. It has a beach club that they take you to. The Canadians were charter and all inclusive. We were only given breakfast, which was just fine with us. The on-site pool was a pleasant addition.

The beach club was not a real beach visit, as the surf was deadly. The food was only fair because it was a buffet. We found a menu and ordered from it. Few others use the menu. The beach club did not have enough chaises and beach chairs for its guests.

Opt for the breakfast buffet! They have a wonderful variety of hot and cold foods, and you will be set for the day! Then you can enjoy sampling restaurants elsewhere for meals later. The location is terrific! You are only a 15-20 minute walk into La Crucecita, and the public beach is only 300 m away! We always felt very safe wherever we went, and we were all over the area! The staff were very friendly and very helpful and there are tour booking agents on site daily.

This is an older property so do not expect perfection, but we travel to see the country and the people. For us the hotel is just for sleeping in. One thing is the rooms on our floor had no mini-fridges. You can buy bottled water(I recommend to buy rather than experience the tap water). Perhaps you can request a room with a mini-fridge?
