Beautiful, quiet, warm water, lots of food to choose from,mostly seafood and there is no fee or wait time to enter the beach.

Great beach 🏖️ and you don't need snorkeling gear with just some goggles your good since the fishes are really close to the ocean shore.

Once you arrive, you will be approached immediately by restaurant staff trying to convince you to go into their restaurants. Facing the beach, walk to the right look for the bathrooms & showers & take the public path to the beach. The water was calm, lovely & incredibly clear. Be aware that in the afternoon numerous boat tours show up quickly and their customers are herded into the restaurants to be fleeced. I simply walked to a quiet area of the beach & set up my space and had an enjoyable time.

Tons of beach side restaurants of which the staff will accost you as soon as you get out of a taxi, trying to get you to come to their place. At the far left end of the beach, there's a small public swimming area where we were able to snorkel from and see a wide variety of small fish. The waves and current there were fine for swimming and our kids being in the water. Beautiful turquoise, warm water.

Tourist friendly businesses. Fun activities for all ages.

Beautiful❤️🫶🏽only thing this beach goes in deep very soon. Also be aware of the restaurants on the beach they tend to add extras to your tab.

Nice beach but sadly not for kids as I was advised and very expensive. The side where the kids can swim is open sea and the waves can pull you They rent pool swim inflatables , which is crazy!!!! , there was a couple with their child and the waves started pushing them to the deep , they had to swim and push him Of course the people who give it to rent will never tell you this danger so please don’t rent this and also very expensive. I am glad I didn’t rent it and if something happens you have to pay full price for the ring more than 1000 thousand pesos The food is not good and all is expensive , a chelada cost 150 pesos I would rather recommend LA ENTREGA . La entrega beach has not sun beads but you can rent an umbrella and the restaurant la entrega has an amazing food and very good prices and good place for children too

Amazing experience. It's a little far and costs 100 pesos per person but it is such a huge cascada and dogs are welcome. We spent the whole day there.

This place is absolutely stunning! Incredible pure water, so powerful and peaceful. The only thing about it which is not great it’s a road from Oaxaca and people who are working there don’t speak English at all, sobe really for the tricky parts.

Great place for a short walk along the river with many small waterfalls and places to swim. The water is refreshing and crystal clear. The road is mostly fine with some dirt sections. It's possible to drive any normal car there, if you are fine with dirtroads.

Paradise on earth. Have a local guide take you there and enjoy swimming in all the pools. The water is clean and has the right temperature. It's a bit of a drive getting there, but certainly worth it. Take at least half a day and visit early (or late) to avoid the crowds. There's a restaurant on site.

Definitely magical place and we had such a great time. Felt like a little waterpark for us. Spectacular setting and great photos to Greenberger this place. So glad we came early before the crowds be we had the place to ourselves for 30 minutes before ppl started arriving! I would definitely combine it with Cascada Las Brisas!

The clear cool water was amazing! Went with our own guide Chay and he knew all the ins and out of the falls. Not crowded on a weekday and definitely recommend going here when in Oaxaca.

Place is Magical like the name says. Crystal clear water with gorgeous jungle views. from the parking lot there are several waterfalls getting bigger the higher you go. Pictures don’t do justice. Once at the top you can purchase refreshments and snacks- if you love waterfalls you cant miss this one. The way there is kind of hidden about an hour into the jungle from the coastal highway. There are a lot of motorcycles that are willing to take you there for a fee. Entrance fee is $100 pesos per person. Definitely coming back.

A pretty little town at the top of the mountains. Great views in the center of the Oxahacan coffee region. This is where it all happens, great little coffee places and cute church, a must see if coffee is your passion.

WOW! Very impressive.

A very enjoyable place to be

(Translated by Google) Excellent reserve, it has paradisiacal fruits such as mangosteen, rambutan, noni, cocoa, star fruit, among others. You can try them if you buy the breakfast package which is highly recommended. Inside you will find many flowers and fruits, there is a waterfall but the time to swim is not very long, it is better to dip your feet and take photos. I would visit it again on my next trip to Huatulco. (Original) Excelente reserva, tiene frutas paradisíacas como mangostán, rambután, noni, cacao, carambola, entre otras. Puedes probarlas si compras el paquete de desayuno lo cual es súper recomendado. Dentro encontrarás muchas flores y frutas, hay una cascada pero el tiempo para nadar no es muy grande, conviene más para sumergir los pies y sacar fotos. Volvería a visitarlo en mi próximo viaje a Huatulco.

(Translated by Google) A small but very beautiful parish is home to the largest image of a virgin in the world. (Original) Una parroquia pequeña pero muy bonita, se encuentra la imagen de virgen más grande del mundo.

(Translated by Google) Very nice to walk and learn about history (Original) Muy bonito para pasear y conocer la historia

(Translated by Google) Beautiful place, with history and delicious food. (Original) Hermoso lugar , con historia y deliciosa comida.

This is our most favorite beach in Huatulco. A 25 minute hike in gets you a Beautiful Beach that you will likely almost have to yourself for the day. The snorkeling around the island is great.

A most beautiful, out-of-this-world experience. You forget the world exists... It's breathtaking. *** Before you suspend yourself between heaven and earth, do these things: 1. Bring sun protection, water, food 2. Make sure to arrange with the taxi driver to pick you up at a certain time and don't miss your appointment. 3. If you walked on the trail through the jungle - make sure to take a picture of where you entered the beach - so you can find your way back. *** Enjoy...

Bahía de Cacaluta is in my top 3 of the most beautiful beaches I have visited in Huatulco! It is HUGE, the views are spectacular and it is very quiet, you feel like you have this huge bay all for yourself. I didn't try to swim, as the waves seemed a little big. I came there by foot. The entrance is called "Sendero Sanate - Bahia Cacaluta". There are a few parking spots at the entrance. The hike is very easy and pleasant (15 to 20 minutes max). There are many educational signs along the hike to learn more about the national park and the Sanate laguna. I saw lots of lizards and birds on the way. Apparently there are crocodiles in the laguna but I didn't see any. Maybe because it was very dry. The trail leads to the left side of the beach, you can walk all the way to the right side where you can find a few restaurants. There is no shade so be careful of the heat. I had a delicious lemonade at the restaurant to cool down a little. Then I came back from the same way I arrived. There is another trail leaving from behind the restaurants, but I don't know where it leads. When I come back someday, I hope I'll be able to swim and do some snorkeling.

Amazing beach, peaceful and relaxing, you can swim and look fish is very quiet and don’t there annoying sellers is very comfortable

Nice hike to a secluded beach. Make sure to bring lots of mosquito spray for the hike or wear long clothes, otherwise they will eat you alive. There was no one at the beach when we got there. The waves were quite big and the current seemed to be too strong to swim

The best freakin’ beach in Huatulco. If you love isolated places and don’t mind being alone on a big beach, this is your place. There aren’t many places for shelter except for the family that runs a restaurant. I suggest bringing lots of water, sunscreen, and adequate coverage as the sun here can be intense. We took a taxi here but make sure you either organize a ride back prior (no service), otherwise you will have to hike on the road back to the roundabout to get a ride. It is a 40 minute walk to the beach from the road.

One of the best beaches I've been to! Secluded, away from the town, but not that much that it makes it difficult to go there. You need to take a taxi or arrive with your car and leave by the road, then it is around 20-40 min walk to the beach. Depending on where you leave the car it is either the "educational" path with bird watching spots or a basic road that only authorized ppl can use. Be careful as apart from birds you can meet other animal, I saw a group of 10-15 wild boars! The beach itself is perfect, small waves of crystal water, but sometimes strong current underwater, so watch out. It goes deeper that you cannot feel the bottom in about 2-5 meters already, so might not be good for children. Sometimes the boats come, and some of them stop to let ppl get on the beach for a while. I really recommend it, make sure to take lots of water and food. There are some palapas so you can hide from the sun as well, but if you have your umbrella, take it.

Beautiful nature and thankfully protected. There are signs and boardwalks in the forest. However once out of the forest and on the beach, theres no signs or shade

This huge national park is full of interesting animals and vegetation. If you don't want to walk through it, you can still see it from all the surrounding beaches, many of which are actually in the park!

Beautiful resort and beach. Great food. Water temp perfect. Definitely would return.

Great experience. Rented a boat. Visited virgin beaches with black sand. Caught a fish. Took tons of photos! Take a snack with you...

It's beautiful but you have to be very careful with the ocean. And it is very expensive to buy food on the beach.

Soooooo beautiful! Wonderful snorkeling destination, saw a moray eel for the first time. There are many turtles and other species

It’s a virgin beach to access it you have two choices walk for about 30 minutes to get there or rent a boat to take you there but it is definitely worth the trip

Overrated place. Very mediocre food. The place is nice with great vibes but food is not good at all. Pan Frances con Nutella was a dry cold piece of bread like a cake style with “Nutella” being a random chocolate pudding consistency. Tacos dorados with pollo were completely dry, unseasoned dry chicken meat. Huevos are huevos, difficult to mess it up, so huevos were ok like anywhere else.

Great spot, came for breakfast. The food is really good, everything we tried was on point. Great service, they took well care of us!

Terra Cotta is a lovely spot in Huatulco with a welcoming atmosphere and a menu that has something for everyone. The location is convenient, and the ambiance makes it a nice place to linger over a meal. We really enjoyed our lunch here — the food was fresh and flavorful, and the frozen margaritas were the best we’ve had in Huatulco. Also passion fruit teas leches cake was so good!!!! The atmosphere is very pleasant and relaxing. Breakfast, however, didn’t impress us as much compared to lunch. Overall, still a great spot worth visiting, especially for a midday meal and drinks.

Great food great servers and beautiful restaurants clean bathrooms family friendly

The plates we chose were all excellent and the service fast and friendly. Special mention to the 🥥 crusted 🐟 with spicy mango sauce was delish, My friends gave 👍🏼 to the 🍤 in tamarind sauce, and the seafood pasta. The only disappointment was the wine, but hey ho, it was my fault for choosing it.

We went for Breakfast at Terra Cotta. What a great experience. The menu has English for those of us who are not good at spanish comprehension. The servers were very friendly. The food was made quickly and our meals arrived at our table together. The presentation of our food was beautiful. The taste was excellent and fresh. The prices were very good for the quality of food served. The serving sizes were very good portions. I recommend this restaurant for foodies.

My favourite restaurant in all of Huatulco, service is excellent. It gets busy so you might be waiting for a table. French toast is delicious, my favourite is the coconut, but the orange flavour is very good too. Banana cree was also very good. Coffee is also excellent. We tried many dishes from the menu as we kept coming back, some are better than others. I will definitely be back for more food.

This is one place that you should definitely check out, the atmosphere is very unique. The restaurant is full of eclectic items, you could spend hours there. Having said that, the pizza that we ordered was very good, we had a Hawaiian and thoroughly enjoyed it.

We have been coming here for 15 years every time we are at Huatulco, it never fails. The Crema Especial pizza is great! Cocktails are awesome... Even the simple nachos are good.

Thin crust fire roasted pizza. Spectacular ceiling

Great bar selection. Friendly unique atmosphere. Nice wood-fired pizza.

Funkadelic, witchy, hippy. Loved the vibe there. The staff was great. Now, let's talk about the pizza! Perfect dough and toppings. The best marks and the mezcal is delish.

Great pizza at a very interesting setting , a local must see and enjoy their unique food and drinks .The decoration is also unique , we had fun in here, by the way you should also visit the church across the street you will not regret it , it's beautiful in traditional Mexican decoration

Super cool, hippie style bar with a huge selection of alcohol and beer. As Americans drinking modelo all week, it was refreshing to taste a Michelob Ultra for a minute! Wood fired oven served up great pizza. Menu and staff were pretty English friendly. I also observed proper COVID procedures in place. Lastly, the open air bar overlooks the plaza and streets below. Perfect place for a drinking lunch or simple dinner!

We visited this restaurant based on its glowing reviews, but unfortunately, it turned out to be the worst dinner experience we had during our four-week stay in Mexico. Service and Atmosphere • Staff: Although the staff was friendly, they appeared poorly trained. For example, they had little knowledge about the wine selection, simply relaying the chef’s negative opinion about the orange wine rather than offering informed recommendations. • Ambiance: We were the only persons in the restaurant during our visit, which did little to enhance the experience. Unbeknownst to us, the restaurant closes at 22:00, adding to the overall confusion and disappointment. Food and Beverage • Wine: We requested a bottle of dry white wine due to the unavailability of most wines on the menu. However, we were served a very sweet white wine priced at €60. When we expressed our dissatisfaction, the staff refused to exchange it, leaving us with an expensive wine that did not meet our expectations. • Mussels: Based on staff recommendations, we ordered the mussels. Regrettably, they were not fresh—possibly even canned—and we ended up not eating them. • Gem Salad: This dish was decent but unremarkable, offering little in terms of flavor or creativity. • Seared Tuna Steak: The highlight of our meal, the tuna steak, was well prepared and remarkably fresh. • Espresso Martini: Another redeeming aspect was the espresso martini, which was very well made. Billing Experience The situation worsened when it came time to settle the bill. We were informed that we had to pay for every item on the menu. When we suggested a gesture of goodwill—such as an espresso martini on the house—to offset the poor experience, the response was extreme: the staff called security, insisted that we pay, and ultimately escorted us out. This reaction was both unprofessional and unnecessary. Despite a few well-prepared dishes, the overall experience was marred by poor service, questionable food quality, and an inflexible billing policy. We left feeling disappointed and disrespected. This restaurant did not live up to the high expectations set by its reviews. If you are looking for good food and service, go to Ve El Mar, they have a good grill and stone oven. Very good meat and fresh fish.

The view of the bay has got to be the best thing about this restaurant. The various dishes on the menu, its uniqueness and presentation was also something to highlight. Food portioning, however, was not as generous as I thought it would be. On that same note, the breakfast prices seem to be a little more higher at Terraza than that of Rustico Restaurant (located at same hotel). During our 5-day stay at Quinta Bella, we had frequented Terraza a couple times. Our servers, on both occasions, were polite, helpful and accommodating. No complaints.

Great place. Everyone was happy with their meals. Jonathan was very personable and ensured we had what we needed. One small critique, as we were trying to enjoy the ambiance of our setting, our a focus was rerouted to the blaring ACDC and other classic rock bangers from the adjacent establishment.

There is nothing "amazing" about the service in Terraza. Quite the contrary actually. After 4 years of living in Huatulco full-time I gave up all hopes that Terraza's service would improve. Not a chance. The waiters have a particular knack for "disappearing acts". There might be only 1 or 2 tables with customers but the meseros are often nowhere to be found. Smoking in the back, maybe? Who knows...They have not been properly trained or managed and my tolerance for their bad service has run out. Since last month (August 2025) I have made a pledge to not give Terraza my business again. The proximity to the ocean is a great asset, the food is ok though not consistently good. But the unexcusable, consistently bad service does not make for a decent dining experience. If you want top notch, similar prices, professional dining go instead to Otto, across the swimming pool.

We celebrated our last night in Huatulco dining at Terraza del Mar restaurant. The view and ambiance was lovely, the food very good and the service top notch with both Jonathon and Kevin. Highly recommend you try this place out!

We were so excited to spend the last night of our wonderful Huatulco vacation at a fancy place. However, we couldn’t have been more disappointed. Due to awful service, we left after our appetizers and walked to the al pastor taco stand past the supermarket. The time it took us to walk there and get our food and drinks was about the same as it took Terraza del Mar to even acknowledge us and take our drink orders. The best service we had was leaving and being chased down for the money (which, if they would’ve actually visited that table, they would’ve found). Worst service we’ve had in years. And by the way, they had 3 servers and 4-5 active tables! But thank goodness for that taco stand. Go there instead!! Or if you’re looking for fancier, go to Terra Cotta in the main square.

Very unique dishes and all of them amazing. The drink selection were many and delicious. The view was also top notch.

I honestly don’t underhand the popularly of this place. I ordered one of their specialties which was the octopus in its tint and I honestly have had it much more tastier and better served in cities where there’s not even sea around. I was hoping to be impressed by the taste and the style of a seas side city but this was a total disappointment. The octopus was chewy and the tint taste was not strong enough. The rice they put on the side, doesn’t mingle well with the octopus at all. I wouldn’t recommend this dish to anyone. The staff at the restaurant was not friendly at all and they seemed quite indifferent to their customers, as if they didn’t need the traffic. Out waiter also seemed tired so I’m not sure if that’s why we didn’t perceive the service as good. The price was high compared to other establishments nearby and the value for the food compared to what we paid was in my opinion not matched. In general I would say the restaurant is not worth visiting.

I always go to eat there every time I come to Huatulco , the seafood is fresh and I enjoy it very much.

Reservations advised. The shrimp with butter and garlic was lovely, the shrimp marinero not so much (huge portion, but rubbery) Next time, I’ll make sure to order the fresh stuff.

We liked our experience. Food was simplistic in presentation but very delicious for us. I found it hilarious that no cocktails or wine available. Soda or beer. Yet we enjoyed it all. Octopus in ink, garlic butter mix. Beer and lemonade. Total 430$. Worth every penny and beyond. Tnx to all hands who prepared it.

Absolutely amazing. We went twice while we were traveling in Huatulco, and it’s one of the main things I’ll miss the most. The tuna was the best I’ve had in my life, simply cooked and perfectly seasoned. Melt in your mouth. Gf got the tastiest shrimp she’s had. If you’re in the area, you owe it to yourself to swing by. They are the nicest hosts, and the prices are very affordable for the quality they serve.

Great seafood! I had a Sopa de Mariscos and the flavor and taste was awesome! Fresh fish, octopus and shrimp in a flavorful caldo to please any seafood lover. Nice atmosphere and great location make this place an obligated stop. Don’t miss it while in Huatulco!

Great place, nice taste, but Gabriel's attitude is extremely awful and mean... not only does he tell off foreign tourists, but also states that empty tables are booked and does not allow customers to come in and order any meal (such a lie... there were two empty tables for nearly 2 hours, nobody came) he seems to be always in a bad mood. The rest of the staff is attentive and suggest kindly. Some sort of expensive butt it really worth it in the end though!!!

We’re on our first trip in Huatulco and staying at Quinta Bella, which has several restaurants inside. We tried Marea and loved it so much we came back a second time and ordered the same dish. My favorite is the Al Ajo, buttery shrimp with a delicious garlic flavor and a huge portion! We ordered The coco shrimp but it was okay, but overall Marea is still my favorite. Bayardo was very kind and welcoming, making our visits even better!

We enjoyed breakfast and lunches here. The food quality and presentation is beautiful. We really enjoyed all of our choices. The staff is and accommodating. Special thank you to Humberto, Flora and Paulino. Also in the morning, a lady makes homemade tortillas.

It took 1 hr for the waiter to bring our food and drinks after we placed the order. Including a glass of water. Food was good, but after 1 hr it waiting the experience was not great. We asked talking to the manger and he never showed up, only the main waiter, who after hearing our feedback, brought most of our dishes (3/5) promptly, then 5 mins later the 2 remaining dishes (pescado a la talla)

Marea – Hotel Quinta Bella Address: Bahías de Huatulco Blvd, Sector P, Chahué 70987, Crucecita, Oaxaca, Mexico While waiting for my hotel check-in, I decided to unwind in the swimming pool area. The hotel offers an open bar for guests, along with several dining options within the property, making it a convenient and relaxing place to pass the time. Food Tostada de Camarones Tempura This appetizer exceeded expectations. The shrimp were delicately battered and fried to a light, crisp perfection, while the accompanying ingredients—fresh vegetables, and a well-balanced spice profile—brought harmony to the dish. It’s a vibrant and flavorful bite that’s both refined and satisfying. Rating: 9/10 Piña Colada & Oreo Chocolate Smoothie I sampled two beverages—both striking different notes yet equally enjoyable. The Piña Colada was smooth, tropical, and not overly sweet, making it the perfect refreshment for a warm afternoon. The Oreo chocolate smoothie, on the other hand, was indulgent and dessert-like, with a creamy texture and just the right level of sweetness. Rating: 8/10 Service The service at Marea (Hotel staff) was polished and welcoming. Staff members were prompt, professional, and went out of their way to ensure guests were comfortable. Their attentiveness, paired with friendly attitudes, enhanced the overall experience. Ambiance The hotel boasts a peaceful and scenic setting. With a view of the pool and lush surroundings, it offers a tranquil atmosphere ideal for lounging or enjoying a quiet meal. Whether you’re here for a drink or dining al fresco, the environment invites you to relax and soak in the laid-back charm of the hotel. Rating: 9/10 Price Considering the quality of the ingredients, presentation, and service, the pricing at Marea is very reasonable. Verdict Although I only sampled one appetizer during this visit, the overall experience at Marea was highly enjoyable. From the crisp execution of the tempura shrimp to the refreshing poolside cocktails and attentive service, this venue showcases the elevated hospitality one would expect from a boutique resort. I look forward to returning for a more extensive tasting of the menu in the near future.

The view is absolutely beautiful, service was very attentive and fast. We took the tower of the seafood, tacos and a profiterole with cajeta ice cream. Everything was very delicious! Highly recommended! Also it s pet friendly and the waiter brought a water for our dog even before I ve asked for it👍🏻

Went here for a quick lunch before a scuba dive. Ordering was quick but getting the meals took a longer than what we have experienced with other providers. 2 of our party order the tuna and within 24hours they were the ones in our group to have food poisoning and this was the only dish we could think of that we ate that was the same, so stay clear of the raw dishes

Absolutely some of the best food/flavors that we have ever encountered. Chef Hugo and his team are truly amazing in the way they combine ingredients to create these dishes. The 6 course meal was portioned perfectly, and with a group of 4 we were able to try almost everything on the menu. Each of us walked away from the restaurant thinking the same thing - this restaurant is world class! Highly recommend for anyone living or traveling near Huatulco!
