AM Hotel y Plaza

Bahías de Huatulco


An interesting new 'concept' hotel with an open reception on a roadside plaza welcoming you to slick, minimalist rooms perched in a large angular structure above the traffic. There’s even a bizarre little plunge pool overlooking the otherwise dull boulevard. Everything is clean, scrubbed, and straight off the shelf, plus it’s right next to the bus station and spitting distance from downtown Crucecita.
