Quinta Real Huatulco, Huatulco Luxury Hotel


 

The southernmost major resort on Mexico’s Pacific Coast, Huatulco is located in the state of Oaxaca, about 104 km east of Puerto Escondido, 30 minutes by plane from the city of Oaxaca, one of Mexico’s most beautiful colonial cities, and a 50 minute flight from the nation’s capital. Mexicana flies in daily from Mexico City to Huatulco’s International Airport and Continental flies in twice a week from Houston.

The Quinta Real Huatulco, perfectly situated on Tangolunda Bay, is 25 minutes from the Huatulco International Airport, next door to the golf club, and just a short distance by car from the towns of Santa Cruz and La Crucecita.

A fusion of the architectural heritages of Mexico and Morocco, the suites, inspired by the The Arabian Nights, sublimely combine precious woods, polished cement floors and thatched roofs with white cupolas and intricate latticework. Expansive and exquisitely appointed with rich fabrics and textures, they are decorated in cream-and-white, with hardwood Mexican furnishings and regional artwork. The marble bathrooms feature slippers, Hermes bath accessories, bathrobes, and a fabulous large oval spa tub (jacuzzi) for complete relaxation. Each suite has a private balcony or terrace with full or partial ocean views where you are lulled to rest by the rhythm of gently washing waves.

Master Suites - These six ample suites offer rich amenities, luxurious cream and white décor, hand-painted, hardwood Mexican furniture and wrought iron accents. All feature a private balcony with partial ocean view, inviting soflty lit bedrooms, and a marble bathroom with Jacuzzi, the perfect antidote to a day of sun, sand and sea.

Grand Class Suites - Spacious and well appointed, the twenty-five 66 m2 (710 sq ft) recently remodeled Quinta Real Grand Class suites are decorated in soothing ochre tones and are ideal for sophisticated entertaining. They feature a marble bathroom with tub and the superb amenities that distinguish Quinta Real, including Hermès toiletries, his and her bathrobes, slippers and pillow menu.

Presidential Suite - For the ultimate in pampering, this expansive suite features an open-air, palm-thatched palapa, terrace, two king-size bedrooms, dining room, living room, bar and private pool, his and her bathrobes, Hermes bath accessories, as well as extraordinary ocean views from almost every corner—even from the bathroom jacuzzi.

Dining

Two magnificent twin-domed buildings, set high on a cliff, house Quinta Real’s restaurant and the bar. They offer stunning bay views and a flavor festival that includes the best local, regional and international dishes, as well as exotic cocktails and a choice selection of wines. Enjoy the sun setting over the Pacific from the breezy terrace of Las Cúpulas bar, while you sip a frosty mezcal a la tamarindo. When the sky fills with millions of sparkling stars, it is time to head next door to La Cúpulas Restaurant to dine al fresco or in air-conditioned comfort on camarones flambée, fresh juicy shrimp set aflame with tequila and served with a magical sauce prepared with chipotle and cream.

Restaurants

Las Cúpulas Gourmet Restaurant

Its privileged location, high on a cliff, with an awesome view of Tangolunda Bay and a delectable choice of regional, domestic and international cuisine as well as the Quinta Real Presence Menu, with contributions from every hotel in the chain, gets Las Cúpulas top billing as Huatulco’s finest and most beautiful restaurant. Seating is in the air-conditioned dining room or on a breezy terrace. Open for breakfast and dinner.

Bar

Las Cúpulas Bar

Set under a dome, right next to Las Cúpulas restaurant, this air- conditioned bar serves natural fruit drinks, cocktails, and domestic and imported wine and beer accompanied by a dazzling view of the bay, indoors or on the terrace. Open afternoons until late at night.

Sky Lounge

Perched at the highest point of the resort, this open air lounge, built around a matapalo tree, with the view of the sea on one side and the mountains on the other, creates an atmosphere of relaxed tranquility that gives the impression of being in a tree house.

Attractions

Huatulco is one of Mexico’s newest and most exclusive fully-planned resort developments. It was just in 1983 that FONATUR, the government’s tourism development agency, picked this isolated spot to become Mexico’s next Cancún or Ixtapa. Huatulco is still relatively undeveloped and unknown compared to other Mexican resorts, so if you seek pristine natural surroundings and the comfort of world-class accommodations, this is the place for you.

Cruises of Huatulco's Nine Bays.

Huatulco’s greatest attractions are its bays—Conejos, Tangolunda, Chahue, Santa Cruz, El Organo, El Mague, Cacaluta, Chachacual and San Agustin— and intimate beaches. Visit them on a catamaran or yacht, or enjoying a sunset cruise. Several of the bays are accessible only by sea. To explore them, take a lancha (small motor boat) from the marina in Santa Cruz or from the beach in front of the hotels.

Snorkeling

Favorite spots for beginners and experts are La Entrega and Cacaluta beaches. La Entrega is a protected marine park on Santa Cruz Bay. Opposite the beach, a 640-foot-long natural reef harbors more than 700 species of colorful fish and other sea life.

Diving

Huatulco is home to the largest coral reefs and banks of North America's west coast, and experienced dive instructors are at your service to make your dives fun and safe. Favorite scuba diving spots are the reefs off Cacaluta and La Montosa islands, Bufadero, where there’s a sunken ship, Los Duendes and El Tigre, areas typical of the Pacific, where the big fish swim among large rock formations.

White water rafting.

Two rivers in the region, the Copalita and Zimatan, provide white water rafting opportunities, ranging from a Class I degree of difficulty to a Class V. These tours allow visitors to meet indigenous cultures and get to know out-of-the-way places, while maintaining a close contact with nature.

Golf.

The 18-hole Tangolunda Bay Golf Course, with incredible views of the Pacific Ocean and the mountains, is reputedly the most beautiful public course in the country.

Coffee Plantations.

This tour offers an opportunity to learn about the cultivation and processing of the coffee bean, sample the quality, and enjoy the scenery, while spending time with the local people and getting to know their traditions.

Fishing.

Huatulco’s waters are home to great quantities of tuna, dolphin (mahi mahi), blue, black and striped marlin, sailfish, grouper, snapper and many others.

Mexican Turtle Center.

A popular day trip from Huatulco is a visit to the turtle research and conservation center in Mazunte. Visitors can see most of the world’s variety of marine turtles at Mazunte’s aquarium.

Jungle Tours.

Tour through Huatulco's marvelous tropical vegetation, on an ATV, on horseback, mountain bike or on foot, while observing a large number of birds, plants, trees and animals native to the region.

Nightlife

A few years ago, the most action you would see after dark would be watching the sand crabs skittering on the beach. Now there are several happening spots in la Crucecita and Tangolunda. For a quieter evening, take a walk on the beach and count the seemingly endless number of stars.

Shopping

There are several worthwhile shops in the Tangolunda hotel zone and in Santa Cruz and La Crucecita, where there is a pleasant arts and crafts market. Also in La Crucecita is the Museo de Artesanía, a combination museum, shop and workshop where you can see artisans creating traditional Oaxacan arts and crafts.
