i went to Huatulco for 2 months and there is no words it can describe that beauty of beaches and people.....Safest place in Mexico ..who ever think to visit Mexico trust me you will feel extremely happy and wish to stay ...

[@brandonhernandez9260]

How’s the food in Huatulco? 🤩

[@dariolegend7130]

@@brandonhernandez9260 food in huatulco is nothing special to be honest with you, especially now ridiculous expensive, and unfortunately they don't have any better prices for people who lives here, so they only relay on tourists and that's sad i have to say that.. I live now here more than 7 months and prices went up since last year so much

[@geneconroy7795]

Personally, it really does blow away many beach communities in MX...9 bays, 36 beaches... ONLY 55K population which is awesome... No crime (what locals have told me)...not a place for those young, wild-aged spring breakers... let them stay in the Cancun/Tulum area.... a nice expat community, mostly Canadians, just a few Americans...

[@Porscheman1]

Huatulco is our fav place - one of the cleanest & safest cities on the planet! Wait until you experience Playa La Entrega - I counted 7 shades of blue!

We visited Huatulco last week and searched out your secret small beach to the right of La Entrega beach. Turned out to be our favorite place we visited while there, did some snorkeling and spent the whole day swimming there. Thank you for the recommendation!! Love your channel!

[@Helyob.castenelli3525]

I spent a week there back in the middle of August 1998 on that same beach with that same restaurant! I'm glad that the government didn't let that particular beach get over developed! It looks axactly the same as it did whwn I visited it in 1998. Just a little drier due to the season. Lots of fish, healthy reefs; corals. Great seafood a little less expensive than the big tourist areas and definitely more laid back. This is my favorite beach destination in Mexico!

The real Mexico since it´s the poorest among all 32 Mexican states, the poorer the more Mexican it is according to foreigners.

[@luisorozco4370]

@@sergioglzrls7994 Exactly, looks like a lot of them can't believe Mexico and the rest of Latin America should or are capable of living a 21st century life. Places like Polanco, Paseo de la Reforma, Condesa, the FIL in Guadalajara (2nd largest bookfair in the world just behind Frankfurt's) or the city of Monterrey in Mexico, Santiago de Chile or Uruguay would deeply disappoint those people.

[@stephendenlinger3514]

This is a very nice video.The hidden gems you found in Huatulco are fabulous. This video brought together all of your skills as a seasoned travelling, compatible, mello couple. Your videos taught me to look for bays and coves wherein the open ocean is not battering the coast making it dangerous and unswimmable. As I mentioned in an earlier comment, your drone footage makes all the difference in the world in these videos. It's not just footage... The drone footage you include in your videos succinctly tells the story and shows the area. Other people who use drone tend to over do it. Your videos are the cream of the crop. Travel on!

Huatulco Mexico is a stunning beachside town located along Oaxaca's sunny Pacific coast. Huatulco is famous for its nine bays, over 30 white sand beaches, and variety of luxury resorts. A Huatulco vacation is the perfect opportunity to relax while sipping fruity cocktails in the sand.

Years back we spent the day at La Entrega Beach and it's ideal for swimming, because the water is protected, so for those that like calm waters it's great for a swim or just getting into the water. I really liked Huatulco, which is further South in Mexico and less traveled. Thank you for sharing.

[@michelleh5046]

This is my third time watching this vlog. You capture this town so nicely. I discovered Huatulco in 2007 when I was researching areas in the south for destination weddings but at that time the area was relatively new for tourism and there were conflicting reports that it wasn’t all that safe. Needless to say, we never made it there nor did I ever get married! ☺️. Anyway, this place is now definitely on the top of my bucket list to visit. Love the video 👍

[@javierrm9752]

22:30 Juchitan is another good city to visit if you want to try Zapotec cuisine, they have probably some of the best food in México and the world, their festivities are also good "las velas" that i suppose are canceled this year, the Zapotec female dresses are really worth to watch...

We love Huatulco. There are more restaurants than we could ever believe possible, they all are fantastic. During our winter months the weather is perfectly dry and sunny in Huatulco. There are some stunning waterfalls up in the mountains which are worth the trip by taxi. We’ve been to 2 separate waterfalls there and they are both different and a must see.

[@bluestarfishsea]

Hi Gary + Linda Does the place normally get quite touristy bc of the cruise ships? It looks perfect, a beach in oaxaca? What’s could be better, I love the culture + food of Oaxaca!

[@Gary_and_Linda]

@@bluestarfishsea prices for souvenirs increase on days that the a cruise ship is in port. Especially close to the marina. We always said we are not on the cruise ship and received a lower price. As far as being busier on those days, we really never noticed a huge difference because we usually were out at one of the many beaches. Cruise people must be doing tours or on the Santa cruise beach - not sure.

[@bluestarfishsea]

@@Gary_and_Linda thank you 🙏

Saw bat rays, dolphins and lots of turtles. We stayed at Tongolunda which is where most of the resorts are. La Crucecita is nice and Pochutla was a fun place to visit and shop with the locals.

Is riviera maya close to this spot in oaxaca?

[@dennishassler605]

Yes, I stayed a day at Playa Entrega and loved the gentle waves and no waves by the pier. It was perfect for my wife who's not a good swimmer and likes still waters. I asked a young man to wash my car while we stayed on the beach and he did an excellent job cleaning the car.

[@jacktillapaugh380]

We loved Huatulco, Santa Cruz. It’s one of our favourites. Beautiful people.

[@SVSukha]

I have been all around Mexico and many places throughout the world, there is no place like the state of Oaxaca, Bahias de Huatulco is definitely my favorite, pristine warm water 9 bays and 36 beaches around Huatulco alone. Very safe, clean the food is amazing and a great variety, I have many times been to beaches where I am the only one. A short drive and you are in the amazing coffee town of Pluma Hidalgo where you can try and purchase some amazing organic coffee, or a drive up to several waterfalls and or natural hot springs with amazing views. And much more.

[@jackeisman8029]

Yeah guys I’m at the same neck of the woods where you guys are at ( Puerto Tangolunda / Santa Cruz ) and have hit the same beaches and they are all very inviting. The water is warm & clear. The food is inexpensive and tasty and the local people are just wonderful. I wanna come back and keep this as my secret place...... so let’s not tell anyone about it...Oops, too late...

[@marianovella3289]

😂😂😁

[@flaviouliseslopezsantos1706]

Guys there is still a bunch of places you definitely have to visit around. San José del pacífico is worth the visit but there are also other spots not that far. Ask for the fincas de café which are like coffe planctations at the hilly zone which are just the mountains that you can see from Huatulco's beaches on the horizon is a natural view point where you can actually see all the places like puerto escondido zipolite and huatulco from there. Also ahead Puerto Escondido there are the afro descendant communities on the costal area as well go to Chacahua is another different vibe.

[@El_.5794]

I think the Riviera side is more popular because it’s catered mostly for international tourists and thus you see more attractions, cenotes and the blue water beaches. The Oaxaca area is more of local vibes and yes as you can see, it’s laid back and thus it’s cheaper ‘cause prices are not jacked up. That’s why you can see more locals than other tourists going there. I like the atmosphere, it’s quiet and for you guys who are staying longer, it’s perfect. I wonder at this time in your Mexico travel, which one is your favorite that you enjoyed most? Will you come back and stay longer based on beach area, water activities, accommodation, food and restaurant accessibility?

Huatulco is a Mexican resort enjoyed by domestic tourists - not "locals" , but people who fly in from other areas of Mexico, which is a pretty large country. So nice to not be inundated with fellow American and other foreign tourists and over development as most of Mexican resorts have.The Caribbean side has so much seaweed for months on end now as well as being expensive.I prefer the Pacific Coast except for Puerta Vallarta,which I used to love,but has now become over developed.I look forward to spending more time there.Ixtapa and Zihuateneo are great too.
