Villas Fa-Sol and Casa Ceiba are neighbors in Conejos Bay. Nirú is at the marina in Santa Cruz.
The three properties have very different relationships with the ocean. Here's the quick summary before diving into details.
Conejos Bay area, east of Santa Cruz marina. Set within a gated, lush hillside community — not a resort strip, but a quiet enclave overlooking the Pacific. Approximately 25 minutes from Huatulco airport. Neighbors with Casa Ceiba.
"Located directly on the ocean, with several stylish swimming pools. Great spots to relax in the shade and watch the waves."
"Villa Fasol is the quintessential boutique hotel — you get undivided attention and individualized service."
Residencial Conejos, perched on a hilltop overlooking Conejos Bay. A 10,500 sq ft estate. Neighbors with Villas Fa-Sol — the same general area, east of Santa Cruz marina. About 25 minutes from the airport.
"Nothing short of perfect — views of the Pacific from our terrace, amazing staff, and a level of quiet you can't find at a big resort."
"The most dramatic sunsets of the whole trip. Just note: if you need to be at the beach every hour, this isn't your hotel."
Cliff edge at Santa Cruz Bay — the most central location of the three. Walking distance to Crucecita (the main town with restaurants, markets, and nightlife). The Santa Cruz marina is right there. Easy access to boat tours and day trips.
"Probably the nicest hotel in the Huatulco area — great location on a very swimmable beach, exceptional service."
"Room was spotless and beautiful. Great location close to restaurants and shopping — and the beach is right there."
