Agua Azul La Villa

I read all the wonderful reviews before I booked our stay, so I thought I had made a great choice. Once we arrived, we quickly realized that Agua Azul La Villa exceeded our expectations. The property is even more beautiful in person than on their website, and the gardens were really lush even during Huatulco’s ’dry’ season. The room is simple in the Pacific Coast aesthetic, but very functional with a pretty bathroom and an amazing private terrace. We stayed in the Tortuga room which is the smallest, I believe, but it was spacious enough for the two of us with ample storage room for our belongings and souvenirs. Breakfast consisted of fruit, granola, yogurt and an assortment of breads and pastries, all of which were delicious and served on lovely tableware and different linens every morning. We were within a moderate 10 to 15 minute walk to two great beaches, one of which we had completely to ourselves on the morning we were there. The Villa is located in a private residential area, but taxis arrived within minutes of our telephone call and we were within an easy drive of all the points of interest. Our hosts, Brooke and Richard Gazer, are definitely what make this place superior to other B and Bs. They have anticipated everything a guest could want during their stay and supplied it---chairs, umbrellas and a boogey board for the beach, inflatable floats for the pool, a refrigerator operated on the honor system and stocked with soft drinks, juices and wine, a plentiful and diverse library, and a water cooler with plastic (for the pool) and regular glasses. In addition, Brooke and Richard provided us with extensive information on sightseeing, renting equipment, booking tours, and excellent recommendations on local restaurants in all price ranges. We felt like special guests in their family home and are already planning another visit. Many thanks to them for a memorable stay in Huatulco!
