    A great experience starting with the emails, pickup at the cruise ship, getting ready, and the ride itself. We are experienced riders as we owned a guest ranch and did trail rides ourselves for years and thought that Maria and her horses were super! We had a great ride and would recommend Rancho Caballo De Mar to anyone and everyone!

    Flor Loto is an exceptional and unique business here in Bahias De Huatulco. They provide an array of different massages, therapies, and holistic services. The business is very hygenic and immaculate! They offer much more than basic services provided by all the other massage businesses throughout Huatulco and even the high end resort hotels! Marlenne and staff are very experienced, compassionate, and devoted to providing the best service in town. I have seen how the have taken care of disabled customers who come for massages...phenomenal!

    Before you go to one of the ordinary and glitzy massage businesses in Huatulco...check out Flor Loto. I was much impressed with this small facility tucked away in Tangolunda!

    We were guided by Hugo to Puerto Escondido for the day. He knows so much about the area and is an excellent tour guide. We were dropped off at a market where we wandered and shopped, then taken to the beach for lunch. After spending a couple hours relaxing in the sun, we headed to do a turtle release. An exceptional day, made memorable by our awesome guide. Definitely recommend.

    Armand took us on a three hour tour of this lush oasis. We began with a delicious homemade breakfast. Next we walked the flower trail - it will leave you speechless with the variety and beauty of each species in all its glory. We toured the orchards and ended with a refreshing swim under the waterfall. Followed by a superb lunch. The guest rooms are lovely. Don't miss this unique idyll.

    Nos vendieron el paquete en la playa por 800 pesos y segun 2 horas de spa y massage. Para empesar nos metieron en el mescal (tipo sauna) con 4 personas mas so en total 6 y los demas personas estaban sober peso y estabamos amontonados. Decidimos salirnos despues de unos minutos. Pasamos al exfoliante de cafe ningun problema ayi. Despues mascara de chocolate. Segun 10 minutos pero se pasaran mas. Me levante a decirles que ya era mucho tiempo. Al final nos dieron un massage que realmente no era massage, no saben hacer massage Y lo peor es que el paquete que compre nadamas incluye 10 minutos de masage.

    English version.

    We bought the package for 800 pesos on the beach from a sales lady. We thought it was a good deal. They sold it to us telling us that it was 2 hours spa package with massage.

    Well to begin they packed 6 people into a small sauna type of box. The other people were all overweight and we were packed like sardines in there. After a few minutes we decided to get out of there. We proceeded to the coffee rub and no complaints there. Then we went to another station where they apply chocolate on your face and your suppose to sit there for 10 minutes, well it was longer than that and I had to get up and go to the front to tell them. Then we went to another room to get massage. Well the massage was more like just rubbing on your back, not a good massage at all. To top it all off as we’re getting massages the lady states that my package included ONLY 10 minutes of back and shoulders massage and if we wanted to extend it for 30 more minutes it would be another 350 pesos per person. At that point I was like no thank you and we left.

    Regardless of the massages being well below standard I was going to tip them but when they said it’s only 10 minutes of massage I had a change of heart and did not leave a tip and I feel bad about not tipping them but now I know and will never return.

    I felt compelled to write a review as I was reassured to book by reading others’ reviews on trip advisor. Every aspect of this trip was absolutely delightful. The website, payment process, communication from Peter, Jason our captain and Mariano our marine expert.
    It was my husband, myself and 8 year old son; along with another couple for the 3+ hr trip.
    Nature can’t be remote controlled however we were blessed with a gorgeous day. We were first surrounded by dolphins who swam alongside the boat, showing off for us. We saw a humpback whale and it was majestic. On our ride back to the marina, we saw glorious sea turtles, mahi-mahi and manta rays jumping out of the water.
    The passion and respect Mariano exudes is contagious. Highly recommend. Hands down one of the highlights of our trip to magical Huatulco.

    Ps. They had life jackets for all and kid sized for my son.

    We rented a boat for my wife and I alone all day. Eduardo took us on a day long tour and it was incredible. We went wherever we wanted. We snorkeled for about an hour each in 2 places (all alone without crowds). He took us into all the bays in the National Park, explained the ecology, geography and history of each one. We got to swim whenever we wanted and to walk along the beaches in the bays without anyone there. The beer was cold and great and Eduardo was so friendly, relaxed, easygoing and helpful. The boat was immaculate. Then he took us to Maguey and introduced us to an amazing restaurant. I could not have asked for a better day. All of this for a little more than what we would have paid for a tour group thing.

    We (couple) took the private shuttle service from Oaxaca - Huatulco bay and viceversa. The driver was always on time and very friendly, even when the road it’s complicated (too many curves) he drove safely. Clean car and great staff.

    We were able to make all arrangements with Guillermo through chat in Whatsapp. We were a party of four my wife, and my son and his wife and we did not want the hassle, noise and rigidity of big tour operators. It was a highlight of our stay. He was very friendly and could accomodate to our needs. The roofed boat has the capacity for ten people so it can accomodate larger parties. We were able to visit several beaches and got great restaurant recomendation in one of them. We spotted dolphins and turtles and stopped wherever we wanted. Price was very reasonable. Highly recommended.
