Huatulco - Las Brisas Huatulco

We enjoyed this destination.... Very warm, 98 degrees (first week in April)and mid 80's at night. The ocean was the cool spot. The resort is VERY spread out.

We enjoyed this destination.... Very warm, 98 degrees (first week in April)and mid 80's at night. The ocean was the cool spot. The resort is VERY spread out. You need to walk hills or wait for the golf cart type transpot which is very regular and convenienent. We took my 83 yr old parents along on this trip and we likely would find a flatter destination next time... But enjoyed the views. The week went fast! NO HOT TUB or JACUZZI.

This was our fourth trip to Las Brisas Huatulco. We have brought our son since age 9 and we have always enjoyed our stays. We have done one specialty restaurant in 4 years and we simply find it easier to just eat at the buffets. The swimming beach has easy access snorkeling and is protected from waves and such. This was our first time at spring break and despite the extra people it did not seem crowded-- we still like late February . Another great plus is the direct flight. Highly recommend it!!

No outside food service or snack bar, only drink service outside (pool or beach) 11am to 5pm-not even soft drinks or coffee. Limited info on daily activities/events (easily fixable w/tv channel for resort). No air conditioned lounges/bars for evening relaxation (or daytime since temps get to 100 degrees). 3 out of 7 days had to call for towels to room, maid did not replenish towels after taking used towels. This was AFTER having tipped. Scenery/view very nice, shuttle service to rooms good.

There should be a elevator in the lobby to the food and drink. Also we could not find a apple rep anywere but we did find a sign that said apple re but on the back someone wrote is never here. So we were not the only one looking for the apple rep .. More>

We choose Huatulco because we were traveling early in January and wanted to be sure of nice hot weather. We got it! Sundresses without cover up of any kind well into the early morning hours. It was wonderful and the beaches were nice and shallow with a coral reef to snorkel at right on the property. .. More>

We have been traveling with Apple Vacations for a couple years now. I have never been so disappointed in where I stayed until this vacation. This was suppose to be a 5 apple resort, I would not give it more then a 3 apple. The people who worked there were the most ignorant people I have ever encountered. The food was terrible and the hotel room I felt like I was staying in a dungeon. I am so disappointed in this vacation that I feel it was such a waste of a week off work and a waste of money. I will never stay at that hotel ever again and I would NEVER recommend it to anyone.

I went to the Las Brisas Resort from January 19th-26th 2013. I travelled as a group of 18 people. Friends and family were among the bunch from ages 21- 50. If you are thinking about booking this resort then I can tell you it is worth the money. Check In - The process was very quick and efficient. We were greeted with some non-alcoholic cocktails and smiles. It was in the afternoon so we were all ready to get up to our rooms to head down to the pool right away. I have never had a check in that quick, especially in the middle of peak season. Property - Was very big and spread out. I walked down to the pool most days and took the carts they drive back up as I was staying in the farthest building. I did not find it a problem what so ever and actually enjoyed the little ride around. Also note I am 24 so as it is not a problem for me it could be if you have small children or seniors in your group if you want to walk , but if your okay with a few minute cart ride then you are good :) The men who drove the carts were very friendly and polite and quick to help you with your things. Rooms - I stayed in the the beach club room call the mar section (blue tower). It costs extra money to stay in these rooms as they are better and you get more with your package (balcony, ocean view, bigger room, more room amenities, private restaurant, best building ect) . Was definitely more then worth it. However some people in our group chose to stay in the regular rooms and still thought they were good. Beaches - I am not a beach person as I enjoy the more lively pool scene much better. with that said the beaches were absolutely beautiful. They have 3 beaches (not including secret beach) A snorkel beach, an activities beach and then the big regular beach. The snorkel beach was fun and I did go snorkelling. The activities beach had jet skis! I went several times and got addicted to it. It was about 40 dollars Canadian for about half an hour (they let us on a bit longer) and was well worth the money. Pools - There were 3 pools. One being an activity pool that they had water basketball and water volleyball in every day I was there. The guys in our group enjoyed it a lot. There was also a very large pool where most people hung out, there was great music sometimes games such as aqua aerobics and trivia for prizes which was fun to watch. The other pool was the adults only pool where I spent everyday! because I am not a kid person this setting was perfect. I could tan and swim and drink and our group didn't have to be worried about small children running around when we are trying to get our drink on, its not really appropriate behaviour in front of kids, so it made me feel more at ease that it was adults only. Also had these huge steps with water flowing down them I tanned here for hours everyday So if you like the heat and like to tan this will be the spot ;) Bars - All the bars had very fast service, the main bar in the lobby could be a few minutes if they were really busy which was not a problem with us at all. The drinks were good in my opinion however some in our group were not happy with the "caesars". The only complaint is that the bar closed at 1am, I wished it was 24 hours because I drink into the night, and like to have that as an option. However we went into town most nights so it was not really a problem. Food - The breakfast was good for omelets and and fruits and breads. However the bacon was not good but I am not a bacon person so did not care what so ever. The lunch you can either go to the buffet or a smaller lunch bar type restaurant (snack bar). They had nachos , fries, chicken ,burgers, salads, pasta salads, sometimes fish, pizza, and many toppings. I love love loved the food here. The lunch buffet was also good but the snack bar was my favourite. For dinner we only ate on the resort 2 nights of our 7 night stay. Had the buffet both times and it was so good especially the chocolate mouse I had for dessert. I did not get a chance to try any of the a la cartes while I was there so I cant comment on them. Service - Best service I have had at a resort period. I have stayed anywhere from a 2* to a 5* and as for service this place really had it together. "Victoria" the server who works the pools areas bringing drinks around works very hard to bring drinks down to the lazy tourists who didn't want to walk up to the bar (including us haha) We tipped her VERY well as she works very hard along with the other serving staff and bartenders. I must also say I noticed some people were not tipping her and she still served them with a smile in a timely manor good for her! But please tip the staff! they work hard for lower wages! The service at the front desk was always great. Nadia is amazing and friendly and really cares about her job and making people happy. The staff who cleaned our rooms, as well as stocked our bar fridge were always polite and kept our rooms very clean. Always had our room looking great and fully stocked with sprite, coke, bottles of water and CORONAS. Yum. Activities - I saw an activity board that had something going on every hour at various parts of the resort. Good for people who want to participate. Location - The location of the resort is among the mountains and just so picturesque. It was about a 5 minute ride into La Crucecita by cab. We went into town every night eating and drinking at various places and had amazing food at every spot. Casa Mayor is a must see and has the best food, coffee, drinks, and live entertainment. Right in the town square with a great view and atmosphere.

My husband and I went with another couple to Huatulco over Christmas. The hotel was full but service was great. There are lots of steps so this hotel is not for everyone. They do offer carts so you do not have to take the stairs. We always walked down the stairs and usually rode the cart up. It was the first vacation I lost weight on, not because of the food but because of the stairs. The food was great and they had a lot to choose from.The hotel was very clean, however the bathrooms down by the beach could use someone at all times to wipe up the water on the floor because they were slippery. When we were leaving they were putting a new bathroom on the main floor by the lobby which they needed badly. One other down fall was that when you are in the lobby there is no elevator to take you down to where the pool, food or bars are and the steps are very steep going down to them.. The staff was wonderful and very eager to help you. The grounds and beaches are beautiful and the weather is amazing. A short trip to Santa Cruz and La Crucecita is a must, They are just about 5 minnutes away by cab. I would return to Huuatulco in a heartbeat but would like to try another hotel on the other side, still The Las brisas is worth checking out.

As an active person, I loved this resort. I only took the readily available carts to the room on arrival and when leaving. We stayed in the Mar section and had the Beach Club Room. Room is basic, but listening to the ocean while sipping a glass of wine, was so worth it. We did find short cuts down to the beach after a couple of days there. I must admit, on arrival I was a little overwhelmed with the size of the resort, but it is so easy to learn your way around. We only ate at the Mexicana for breakfast. Amazing omelettes and wonderful view....lunch usually at the buffet, and dinner split between the a la cartes and in La Crucecita. La Crema...Yum!! So many other Italian restaurants......funny as you are in Mexico. This little town is SO safe and so pretty and really everything there is SO reasonably priced. I would absolutely recommend this place and will probably go back. I love Huatulco....not high touristy, and guaranteed great weather. I have never returned to a resort, but would consider this one if the price was right. If you are a traveller who enjoys beauty, exercise, amazing weather, friendly people, and great beaches than go...........not luxuary, but........ I loved it :D

Pictures do not match reality of the property and or rooms, and when you factor in the price of the rooms, it's way off..... False advertising..... If you like to climb hundreds of stairs and hills, this is a place for you. This hotel is spaced out more than any other I've visited and separated by what seems mountains.... Food is at best average. If you want good food you'll have to leave the hotel. Actually the airport food was better than the hotel food.

Our family has visited many parts of Mexico over the last 10 years, both Pacific and Caribbean side. Thought we give Huatulco a try for spring break, and what a great decision!!! By far our favourite place in Mexico hands down. Weather was fantastic for the entire week, nothing but sunshine. We were a group of 5 families and everyone loved Las Brisas. The staff had us all in the same section (mountain) with rooms all close together. Resort is absolutely beautiful to walk around. And if you get tired of walking there are tons of carts to give you a lift. Beaches are fantastic with a ton to see if you like snorkelling. Water was clean and warm with no red flags ever. I kayaked everyday in the bay to find many people on the beach at the other resorts ie.Dreams and Barcelo but only a handful in the water. They had red flags every day I kayaked and the water was very rough on that side of the bay. We spent every single day at the beach/or in the water and it was a blast. Went to town one Evening for pizza and taxi was dirt cheap. Rooms were clean and nice. Food was fantastic. The whole resort is kept very clean and the grounds are breathtaking. We have stayed at many 5 stars and by far prefer the Las Brisas. Nothing real fancy but exactly what our group was looking for in a holiday: great service, great beaches, great food, great swimming, great rooms, and great weather. We will definitely be returning to this place!!!!!!!
