We really enjoyed our stay here. The condo was nicely appointed and the beds were wonderfully comfortable. It felt more spacious than we expected, which made our stay even better. Our favourite part, hands down, was having our own private pool — such a treat! Morning coffee on the deck by the pool was peaceful and perfect with the soft morning sun.Overall, a fantastic stay with absolutely no complaints.

The property was just as described and even nicer than the photos. Well appointed, clean, close to the beach and pools. We were pleasantly surprised by how useful the plunge pool was. We've already rebooked for next season!
We had a phenomenal trip! They have several add in options such as taxi service and grocery pick up. We did not use these extra items, but I’m sure they would have been perfect. The kitchen is super nice and very well equipped. The rooms are so beautiful with comfortable beds. There is a plunge pool and also two other shared pools with amazing views. The property is new and clean and so beautiful! There is a beach access very close. Our room A1 has the closest beach access. We loved every part of our stay!! We hope to come again next year!

My wife and I has a great time in Huatulco/Amanecer Casita A1. The casita was clean, modern and exceeded our expectations. My wife walks with a cane but the casita was perfectly situated on the ground floor and close to all pools. We were minutes away from the beach, location was ideal! we enjoyed every minute of our stay. looking forward to booking another trip before end of year.

Beautiful Condo near a pleasant beach
The condo itself was great for two couples with nice amenities including a rooftop private deck with plunge pool and shade that was great even when it was hot but especially in the evening. Views are fantastic and it is a short walk to a sweet beach which has a great outdoor restaurant ( daytime only) which serves delicious lunches. The nice thing is you could always get a cab to take you anywhere in the area. We weren’t sure when we booked this place if it was too far away from the town but with all the cabs it was not a problem. The only issue we had was with the check in because the manager was not exactly timely in their responses to questions about checkin. They also could have given us more information written down. They did provide some online information but for example we didn’t have the address to give the taxi until we wrote repeatedly. Afterwards, service was ok. If you want a nice quiet place to stay this is it

Reviewer Comments:
The condo is even more impressive in person than the pictures portray. It was large, spotless, and well-appointed with spectacular views from every room. Great snorkeling in the bay and easy access to cabs if you want to go off property, the location can't be beat.We can't recommend the chef service enough. It made our trip one of the most relaxing we've ever experienced. The food was EXCELLENT and plentiful. Highlights were the empanadas, steak, spagetti, and huevos rancheros. Tip: Make sure the pilot light in the water heater is not out and get directions on how to relight it before the rep leaves. Also, bring shampoo.It was an exceptional stay and we've already booked a return trip.
