Camino Real Zaashila Huatulco is a beachfront resort on Boulevard Benito Juárez in the Tangolunda Bay hotel zone. It was designed by the architect Javier Sordo Madaleno and has 131 rooms in eight room types, from king deluxe rooms of about 484 square feet to a king suite with a private pool, a living area and a kitchenette. Guests have three outdoor pools and a children's pool, beachfront access, a spa and hot tub, tennis courts, a 24-hour gym and a free children's club. Dining includes Chez Binni with international cuisine and Oaxacan flair, Azul Profundo for tasting menus, Bel La Grill for casual food and Bitza Bar for cocktails. Guest scores are high, around 8.8 out of 10 from more than a thousand reviews, with the latest reviews we saw dated early October 2026.
Location and getting around
The resort sits on Tangolunda Bay, nearer to the Copalita Eco-Archaeological Park and Playa La Entrega than to La Crucecita, so plan on taxis or tour pickups for town and for boat departures. Free self-parking and valet parking are available, and a 24-hour taxi service operates from the hotel. The hotel can book tours, which is useful for the bays boat tour, the waterfalls and the coffee day.
Rooms and facilities
Most rooms have a balcony or patio, sea or pool views, air conditioning, a minibar and a safe. Club rooms add a higher level of service, and the private-pool suite is the splurge. There are several restaurants, a poolside bar and a coffee shop, a spa with a hot tub, a business centre and an accessible room.
Check-in is from three in the afternoon and check-out is at noon. The property does not have lifts, and several guests mention stairs, so ask for a ground-floor room if mobility is a concern. Pets are not allowed other than service animals.
Who it suits and good to know: families will like the free kids club and the three pools, and couples can choose the quieter pool and the oceanview rooms. Breakfast is available at the restaurants, and some rate plans are all-inclusive, so compare options when you book. The property was renovated in July 2023, according to the booking page, and recent guests rate cleanliness, location and service highly.
Cash is not accepted at the property, so bring a card. Some guests say the pools could be deeper for swimming, so check what suits your group. Beach conditions vary with the swell, so ask the front desk about safe swimming areas.
