We got to Secrets on the 21st around 2ish. Room wasn't ready but the resort was ready for us. Check in kinda sucked but we got to our room around 3:40ish. We were preferred club like always but preferred club pretty much nonexistent here. Here's the bottom line. This place is beautiful!! The workers bust their ass and are very friendly. We luvd Castaways. This was the only plus for being preferred club. We ate there everyday. A big shout out to Filleppe and his brother. Great people!! Oceana has some great food as well. Big shout out to Abraham as well. Great ping pong player and his water aerobics were a good workout. What a great guy! The Barefoot grill for lunch is a must. Delicious wood fire pizzas!! Sooo good!. The place is very clean and always a good time. Only had 1 bad meal. The ma hi ma hi was rubbery but that was it. Here's the cons. How does a place like Secrets run outa beer?? They have Modelo and Modelo dark on tap as well as small bottles of Corona and Victoria . They ran outa regular modelo on tap, which is what I was drinking. I can't stand the other beers. I took it up with the management. I pleaded my case and within 10 minutes, I had michelob ultra in my room as well as every bar. Ok! I can drink that. They took care of that problem for me. The room service here was prompt and outstanding. This was our 6th Stay at a Secrets resort. We loved Huatulco!!!

No loyalty recognition

No recognition of loyalty at this property! They wouldn’t even assign an upgrade valued at $20 a night as a spire ambassador elite member. Reception staff are rude and unprofessional and disconnect calls instead of transferring to someone senior.

The hotel is amazing. It has a magical air to it and the people who work there are very nice and polite. I’d totally recommend it! A great kind of boutique cozy experience in Oaxaca. I loved that it’s profits are aimed to help children in Mexico get proper education. It literally is a hotel with a big heart.

To the best hotel staff I’ve ever experienced!

Reviewed By Mariela0815

I literally checked out a couple hours ago and needed to write a review of how amazing the staff is in this hotel. Every single person goes above and beyond for their guest. They always offered us a water, checked in how we were doing, and helped us get a guide to visit monte alba. The hotel itself is beautiful and nicely decorated. The rooms are comfy and great. The breakfast is very good, it consist of fruits, sweet bread, and your choice of coffee/ juice. Anything additional you pay for. The location of the hotel is very centrical and close to great restaurants and city center. Overall, this hotel was amazing and the highlight was hands down the staff. They make you feel right at home and made my first trip to Oaxaca unforgettable- thank you to everyone at nanavida!!! I’ll be back soon!

Second time, but not the last!

Reviewed By 2candream

Having stayed at the Quinta Bella pre-Covid, we were excited to return and see the incredible upgrades that were made to the hotel during that time. In 2019 there was only one restaurant – now there are seven. We ate at Aroma, Terraza del Mar, Otto and Marea and everything was delicious! We also had the best maracuya (passion fruit) and mezcal cocktail at the Agave bar. Rodrigo always kept us entertained and well hydrated at the pool. He and Aleli (who helped us during the reservation process) are certainly assets to the hotel. We had room 2001 which was a top floor, nearest to the beach, king room with a plunge pool. Absolutely awesome views of Chahue beach and the sunrises! I’m told that this property is the only non-all inclusive hotel directly on the beach within walking distance of La Crucecita. It’s very special and I would not hesitate to recommend.

Magic stay at Cabañas

Reviewed By billyb296

I loved the time we spent here at the Cabañas Kin Balam. The attention to details is second to none. The service the guys provide here is top and you can never go wrong visiting. The atmosphere is magical, after a day at the pool you can chill in the restaurant with fantastic food and nice people to hang around. My visit was super nice despite the fact that, at the end, I ran into a bit of trouble as I left the hostel leaving my passport behind. When I realised it I was already on the road to a new city but as soon as I got in touch with the team at Kim Balam they reassured me that they had it and immediately arranged a courier to get the passport safe in my hand despite being in a different city! Jessica and the Kin Balam team where so kind and efficient that I will never forget the time spent there. Thanks a million for making me feel at home!!!

Quick, but great stay!

Reviewed By handhos

We ended up staying here kind of on accident. We were in town on business and had stayed at a very small boutique property that left a bit to be desired. Anyway, we had to rearrange our flights that found us staying an additional night in Oaxaca. The previous property was already booked and I didn’t really want to go back regardless. So, we booked this property, but didn’t spend a lot of time there as our new flight was the next morning. The staff was great…very helpful at valet and helping direct to wherever we needed to go. They were also able to get us COVID testing in our room at the last minute when the tests we had brought with us didn’t work out. Very clean rooms, good A/C, big bathroom. And, the club level was also great.

My wife & I stayed at Quinta Real for 4 nights. The staff was very friendly, helpful and top notch. We ate at the restaurant a couple of times, and the service was top-notch and very attentive. We loved the old world charm of the property and it was very well manicured and beautiful. We would definitely stay here again!
