Huatulco refers to the resort area Bahías de Huatulco or the bays of Huatulco. The four main parts of Huatulco are Tangolunda, the area where the more upscale resorts are located, Santa Cruz, a small town with more hotels, the marina and Santa Cruz beach, La Crucecita, another small town just inland from the beach area having a more genuine Mexican ambiance, and Chahué, an area between Santa Cruz and Tangolunda. These areas are within a mile or two of each other, so hotels and restaurants for all of them are listed here on the Huatulco page. Construction on the Huatulco resort area began in 1983; virtually all structures were built after that date. The existing population was relocated to Santa Maria Huatulco. The area is known for its beautiful isolated bays separated by rocky hills set against the backdrop of the Sierra Madre del Sur. For a look at the area see Aerial Photos of Huatulco. Traveling north of the area, the terrain rises quickly becoming a lush tropical jungle where crops such as coffee, bananas, cashew nuts are grown. For some specific recommendations, see The Best of Huatulco.

This information is provided for you by readers like you, so keep it up to date. Please send any listings, recommendations, and corrections to tom@tomzap.com.

Car Rentals: There are several car rental companies in Huatulco including Dollar, Hertz, Thrifty, and Eurocar. Thrifty and Eurocar overcharge ($90/day in 2008), and require that you purchase insurance even if your credit card already covers it, and fail to honor reservations. Eurocar is particularly aggressive about searching for extra dings and scratches to charge you for. Cars are often not available for walk-in customers during the tourist season. Consider that for what it costs to rent a car from Thrifty or Eurocar, you could have a taxi with driver for the day. Hertz is considerably cheaper, doesn't require that you purchase the extra insurance and is recommended. For best results, make your reservation online, print out the information, and bring it with you. See also general information about car rentals.

Taxis: Rates for taxis are fixed. They are posted at the travel booth at the zócalo in La Crucecita. Taxis from the airport are another story, about 3 times the cost as is typical in Mexico.

Tour Operators, Outfitters • Operadores Turísticos, Proveedores

See also Sport Fishing, Boat Tours below.

It has been reported that the area all-inclusive establishments and the visiting cruise ship staff are advising their clients to use their own tour services and advising against using local tour operators because the smaller operators are not to be trusted, have no insurance, and are not likely to respond to complaints. In reality people are reporting good experiences with local operators, costs are less, a broader range of services are offered, your fee goes to the people delivering the service not some distant corporation, you can take your complaints to the top, and local operators have not established a reputation for lying. Local operators do not have the benefit of a captive clientele and rely heavily on referals from previous customers and their own reputations.
