Las Palmas

Top choice in Bahías de Huatulco


On a lovely site looking down on little Playa Violín, along the road between Santa Cruz and Playa La Entrega, Las Palmas is a marvelous discovery for couples, families or larger groups who have a vehicle and want to self-cater. The three bright, spacious four-bedroom villas enjoy large sitting/eating areas opening on to their own infinity pools.

The five smaller but also attractive casitas (for up to four people) share a kitchen, pool and large palapa (thatch-roofed) dining area. The tilework and crafts are beautiful, kayaks and mountain bikes are provided free, and the whole place has an expansive but private feel.
