Dreams Huatulco Resort and Spa is a big all-inclusive resort on Boulevard Benito Juárez in the Tangolunda Bay hotel zone, close to Tangolunda Beach and a short walk from the bay itself. It has 421 rooms in a range of types, most of them deluxe rooms or junior suites, with garden, tropical, partial sea, ocean and oceanfront views. The all-inclusive plan covers buffet and à la carte meals, snacks, select beverages, premium alcoholic drinks, an in-room minibar stocked with drinks, a breakfast buffet and gratuities, so you can leave your wallet in the safe for most of the stay. There are five restaurants on site, a limited room service menu, several pools including a children's pool, and a spa with hydrotherapy, body scrubs and wraps. Kayaking and other water activities are part of the plan. Guests score it well, with around 8.4 out of 10 from roughly a thousand reviews and especially high marks for location, staff and cleanliness, and recent guests have continued to rate it positively. It is a popular, polished and social resort rather than a quiet boutique stay.
Location and getting around
The resort sits on the Tangolunda hotel strip, a short drive from the Copalita Eco-Archaeological Park and Playa La Entrega, and about half an hour from La Crucecita and the Santa Cruz marina by taxi or tour pickup. The airport is roughly a twenty-five minute drive. Most guests spend their days at the resort and book one or two excursions, such as the bays boat tour or the Copalitilla waterfalls, through the tour desk.
Rooms and facilities
Rooms range from deluxe garden-view rooms to oceanfront junior suites, all with air conditioning and a minibar that is restocked as part of the plan. Check-in is from three in the afternoon and check-out is at noon. Pool hours run from early morning until the evening, and there is a children's pool for younger guests.
The resort offers childcare services and babysitting for an extra charge, and it provides free infant beds and extra beds on request. A spa with hydrotherapy and treatments is available, and fitness and water-sports options fill out the day.
Who it suits and good to know: couples, groups of friends and families with children will find a lot to do without leaving the grounds. Because the resort is large, ask for a room close to the main areas if you dislike long walks, and book à la carte dinners early in busy weeks.
Pets are accepted only in limited circumstances, with a size limit and a fee, so confirm before travelling. The resort is not adults-only, so expect families at the pools in school holidays. Compare rates for different room categories, since oceanfront rooms cost noticeably more than garden views, and check what is included in any package before you pay.
