Excelente!
Pros:

Todo el ambiente y el barrio es muy agradable. Bonita piscina y el diseño de los pisos es acogedor y con detalles de diseño tradicional. Super atento el personal. Muy bien equipada la habitación. Bonito balcón a la piscina y el cerro. Las habitaciones tienen los nombres de cada playa de Huatulco

Cons:

Solo unos pocos detalles: el desayuno debería mejorar. Las habitaciones y baño no tienen percheros para toallas o abrigos. Nuestro baño tenía un problema de ventilación de olor a desagüe. Para nosotros no fue problema pero si te tocan las habitaciones de 4to. Piso son 50 escalones hasta y desde planta baja

Alles in allem ein sehr schöner Aufenthalt, würden auf jeden Fall wiederkommen!
Pros:

Uns hat das Hotel sehr gut gefallen...es ist sehr schön, hat schöne saubere Zimmer, Bad, Pool... alles einwandfrei. Die Mitarbeiter sind sehr nett. Das Frühstück ist sehr gut und ausreichend, wir fanden es ziemlich gut, es uns selbst zusammenstellen zu können.
Auch die Lage ist top...es ist sehr ruhig, aber man ist auch schnell im Centro.
Rundum ein sehr schöner Aufenthalt.

Cons:

Die Betten sind leider sehr schmal (französisch? schätze 1,20m breit) Also für uns, zu zweit in einem Bett, war es leider recht schmal.
Das Wlan im Zimmer funktioniert eher nicht, aber in der Lobby ging es.

A hidden gem in Huatulco!
Pros:

This hotel is a gem in Huatulco. It is close to the all the activity, restaurants and stores in Crucecita, yet on a quiet street where you can wake up to the sound of birds and the rooster next-door. You can walk to some beaches, or take a taxi or public transit (cheap and easy) to others.
This hotel is exceptionally well run. We stayed there twice at the beginning and end of our trip to Oaxaca, so I was able to compare it to other hotels we used. It is very clean, well maintained, and the staff are super helpful and always friendly.
We booked a room with breakfast. The breakfast was freshly prepared and delicious every morning.
The hotel is mostly used by Mexican families, but we met a few Americans and fellow Canadiens during our stay.
The pool and in a courtyard, where breakfast is served, is a lovely space. We had an evening flight and after we checked out, we are comfortable hanging out there in the afternoon before we had to go to the airport.
I would definitely go back to this hotel on a future trip to Huatulco.
There are many food choices in Oaxaca. I enjoyed Nixtamel just around the corner from the hotel, as well as the little snack bar at the end of the street. The Italian restaurant next-door looked very busy, but we didn’t give it a try. There’s also a grocery store just three minutes away, for fresh fruit, water, beer and snacks.

Cons:

This is so minor, but some towel hooks near the sink would be great.

Great location and good value.
Pros:

Close to restaurants, the zoccalo and not too far from beaches.
Breakfast was excellent and the staff friendly and helpful.
The area by the pool is a comfortable place to relax and cool down.

Cons:

Nights can get cold in Huatulco in January. We could have used an extra blanket.

Good location, clean, ask for a room on a lower floor.
Pros:

Breakfast was included and was good. The location is in the middle of town, and yet quiet.

Cons:

We were on the fourth floor and there is no elevator. The bathroom has a very high step to enter and this is hazardous at night.

Pros:

Breakfast was a huge bonus, delicious and much better than any complimentary breakfast we ever had in the US.

Cons:

One front desk staffer who works in the afternoon and evenings is rude to English speaking guests. It happened to me and I saw the same staff member being rude to another English speaking guest. This staffer seems to think everyone should be fluent in Spanish and if you're not, she is condescending and rude.

Pros:

High level of comfort with the friendliest and kindest staff. Spotlessly clean rooms and a delicious breakfast. Just a 2-minute walk to Crucecita Zocalo, where taxis are readily available to visit Huatulco’s beaches. Excellent value for money and highly recommended.
