Accommodations

A fusion of the architectural heritages of Mexico and Morocco, the suites, inspired by the The Arabian Nights, sublimely combine precious woods, polished cement floors and thatched roofs with white cupolas and intricate latticework. Expansive and exquisitely appointed with rich fabrics and textures, they are decorated in cream-and-white, with hardwood Mexican furnishings and regional artwork. The marble bathrooms feature slippers, Hermes bath accessories, bathrobes, and a fabulous large oval spa tub (jacuzzi) for complete relaxation. Each suite has a private balcony or terrace with full or partial ocean views where you are lulled to rest by the rhythm of gently washing waves.

Guests seeking the ultimate in luxury and intimacy reserve a suite with a private pool.

MASTER SUITES

GRAND CLASS SUITES

Spacious and luxurious, the Grand Class suites (eight feature a private pool) offer low-key allure combined with stunning views of Tangolunda Bay. For the ultimate in relaxation, stretch out on the hammock-strung terrace for tantalizing glimpses of the waves breaking agains the shore and the faultless blue sky.

Two additional suites can be adjoined for larger parties.

Dining

Two magnificent twin-domed buildings, set high on a cliff, house Quinta Real’s restaurant and the bar. They offer stunning bay views and a flavor festival that includes the best local, regional and international dishes, as well as exotic cocktails and a choice selection of wines. Enjoy the sun setting over the Pacific from the breezy terrace of Las Cúpulas bar, while you sip a frosty mezcal a la tamarindo.

When the sky fills with millions of sparkling stars, it is time to head next door to La Cúpulas Restaurant to dine al fresco or in air-conditioned comfort on camarones flambée, fresh juicy shrimp set aflame with tequila and served with a magical sauce prepared with chipotle and cream.

Activities

Cruises of Huatulco's Nine Bays

Huatulco’s greatest attractions are its bays—Conejos, Tangolunda, Chahue, Santa Cruz, El Organo, El Mague, Cacaluta, Chachacual and San Agustin— and intimate beaches. Visit them on a catamaran or yacht, or enjoying a sunset cruise. Several of the bays are accessible only by sea. To explore them, take a lancha (small motor boat) from the marina in Santa Cruz or from the beach in front of the hotels.

Snorkeling

Favorite spots for beginners and experts are La Entrega and Cacaluta beaches. La Entrega is a protected marine park on Santa Cruz Bay. Opposite the beach, a 640-foot-long natural reef harbors more than 700 species of colorful fish and other sea life.

Diving

Huatulco is home to the largest coral reefs and banks of North America's west coast, and experienced dive instructors are at your service to make your dives fun and safe. Favorite scuba diving spots are the reefs off Cacaluta and La Montosa islands, Bufadero, where there’s a sunken ship, Los Duendes and El Tigre, areas typical of the Pacific, where the big fish swim among large rock formations.

White water rafting

Two rivers in the region, the Copalita and Zimatan, provide white water rafting opportunities, ranging from a Class I degree of difficulty to a Class V. These tours allow visitors to meet indigenous cultures and get to know out-of-the-way places, while maintaining a close contact with nature.

Golf

The 18-hole Tangolunda Bay Golf Course, with incredible views of the Pacific Ocean and the mountains, is reputedly the most beautiful public course in the country.

Coffee Plantations

This tour offers an opportunity to learn about the cultivation and processing of the coffee bean, sample the quality, and enjoy the scenery, while spending time with the local people and getting to know their traditions.

Fishing

Huatulco’s waters are home to great quantities of tuna, dolphin (mahi mahi), blue, black and striped marlin, sailfish, grouper, snapper and many others.

Mexican Turtle Center

A popular day trip from Huatulco is a visit to the turtle research and conservation center in Mazunte. Visitors can see most of the world’s variety of marine turtles at Mazunte’s aquarium.

Local Area

The southernmost major resort on Mexico’s Pacific Coast, Huatulco is located in the state of Oaxaca, about 104 km east of Puerto Escondido, 30 minutes by plane from the city of Oaxaca, one of Mexico’s most beautiful colonial cities, and a 50 minute flight from the nation’s capital. Mexicana flies in daily from Mexico City to Huatulco’s International Airport and Continental flies in twice a week from Houston.

The Quinta Real Huatulco, perfectly situated on Tangolunda Bay, is 25 minutes from the Huatulco International Airport, next door to the golf club, and just a short distance by car from the towns of Santa Cruz and La Crucecita.

Huatulco is blessed with the idyllic climate typical of most of Mexico’s Pacific Coast, with year-round temperatures averaging 85º F, with a wintertime low of 57º F and a high of 100º F during the summer months. From October to June it seldom rains and showers cool temperatures during the rainy season, from July to October. Dress is casual during the day, upscale resort wear is customary at night.

The country’s southernmost Pacific Coast resort, Huatulco encompasses 18 miles of cove-jagged coastline on nine lovely bays. The complex is absolutely stunning: Beach after beach is framed by white sands and the jagged peaks of the Sierra Madre del Sur, perfectly set off the cerulean blue waters.

Huatulco is comprised of three distinct sections—Tangolunda (the Hotel Zone), Santa Cruz, which is home to the marina and several restaurants, and La Crucecita (the town created to house the resort’s employees and their families.)
