Don't feel too singled out San Francisco member! We booked a large block of rooms at this hotel that were abruptly canceled 2 weeks prior to our trip. Putting the best light on it, the management there decided that they weren't able to give adequate attention to our group. Better to know now rather than later. This may be a perfectly lovely place for individual travelers to stay, but can't add much to that discussion! It will be nice to see some comments from people who have actually stayed there recently.

Grounds are beautiful and views overlooking the ocean are awesome...but when my partner and I and another male couple were asked to leave because "...you have to understand that we do not want you here..", well, the tranquility of the hotel was clouded like the dark clouds that gloomed over the pacific, in the distance.

We love the Huatulco area and have made many trips to it from Midwest, USA, since 1998. We have stayed in resorts, hotels, and B&Bs, sometimes living in two or three different places during our two week or more stays. Hotel Villas Coral is our favorite oceanside place in Huatulco. In February of 2005 we invited my brother and his family and future son-in-law's family to join us at the Villas Coral. We not only enjoyed each other's company in a totally relaxed atmosphere but also meet other people from our state that knew family and friends. We enjoyed the well maintained hotel, great pool, and nearby beach. The staff was courteous and helpful at all times. The facility was run in an informal and relaxed manner. Perhaps the only problem was that some of our rooms got assigned to other family members, like my brother ;-( but we stayed friends and just walked thru the adjoining room door and enjoyed the room anyway! Eating breakfast one morning, our spouses were thrilled to see whales from the dining room. While the B&B faces a rocky but interesting bay on the ocean side, it has a small, quiet bay, nice for snorkelling on the entrance side. The pictures I have attached do not do justice to the well maintained and peaceful setting. Definitely not a place to party but to enjoy guests from USA, Canada, and Mexico. The B&B is operated by a father and daughter who speak perfect English so language is not a problem. However, the most startling event was the flower decorations on our beds made by staff on Valentine's Day!
