Finca Don Gabriel

Bahías de Huatulco


It's all about the sweeping views from cliffside cabañas, a lovely swimming pool and an open-air restaurant at this coffee plantation with well-manicured grounds. Lodging includes a free tour (in Spanish) explaining the coffee-producing process and arrangements can be made for bird-watching trips with an English-speaking guide. It's about 50km northwest of La Crucecita.
