User reviews
"The bay is quite small, but the water is crystal clear and clean with small waves. There is only one restaurant available, and unfortunately, the restroom situation is not ideal. However, we spent a good three hours there and enjoyed some delicious, big, fresh shrimps in mojo de ajo."
Jared Rodriguez
"The beach at Huatulco is the best one around, and I highly recommend staying at Puntagaviota. It's conveniently located near the beach, and the rates are very reasonable whether you're staying for the weekend, holiday or an extended period of time. Plus, the sand is a beautiful golden color."
