Camino Real Zaashila

Amazing amenities - the pool and beach area are fantastic. The room was nice, but nothing special. The duvets were awesome, though, and we slept great. The service at the breakfast/dinner restaurant was variable, but the lunch place was really nice. And the breakfast buffet was great (not included!). The dinner menu was not very child friendly.

An overall fantastic stay! The rooms were clean and spacious and the hotel grounds are beautiful. We booked a room with a private pool and it was well-maintained and very enjoyable to have. The bartenders and restaurant staff were great (all the staff was fabulous and helpful!). Definitely get the breakfast package, breakfast was one of the highlights of the trip (I forget her name, but the lady who ran the egg station was so nice and made the best food!). The one issue I had is that their laundry service ruined one of my shirts, but it's an outside service, not part of the hotel (and the hotel staff tried to contact them about it, but they never responded, so I never got a refund on it). So, just avoid the laundry service and you will otherwise have a fantastic stay!

We visit Camino Real Zaashila every year, and it never disappoints! The staff are absolutely amazing—friendly, professional, and always going above and beyond to make our stay special. The food is consistently excellent, with a great variety and authentic flavors. The setting is breathtaking and incredibly romantic—perfect for couples looking to relax and enjoy some quality time together. From the beautiful beach to the peaceful pool area, everything is spotless and well cared for. It truly feels like our home away from home. We highly recommend Camino Real Zaashila to anyone looking for a relaxing, romantic, and unforgettable experience in Mexico. Can’t wait for our next trip!

Great grounds and beach. Breakfasts were super. Nice buffet with good selection. Did not do dinners there but plenty of good restaurants in the vicinity. Our problems were with the amenities. Had to beg every day for clean towels. They would clean the room and take the dirty towels but not replace them. We literally had no towels in the room. And this was in a suite with a splash pool. Also was supposed to have a coffee maker in the room. There was none. After begging for a day they finally brought one to our room-but no coffee. The next day they brought one packet of coffee to us. After more begging they finally delivered 6 or 7 packets to us which we made last for the duration of our stay. Overall the staff was pleasant but service was inconsistent. For a 5 star hotel we expected more.|.

The Camino Real Zaashila was a delightful setting. Huge pool, private beach access, and spacious rooms, as well as decent restaurants and a Starbucks. We had a quiet room & slept great. Gym was small but well air conditioned and equipped with the basics. The service in April is a little inconsistent due to the high number of spring break guests, but if you have a bit of patience to make multiple requests, they are very kind and will take care of everything you need like laundry service and daily room cleaning. They also had special events at this time which were fun! Overall we had an incredible stay at this lovely and welcoming property.

As worldwide Travellers this has been one of the worst places we have stayed that was rated a 5-star hotel. When we checked into our room, the floors were so dirty that our feet were black from walking barefoot while unpacking for 10 minutes. There were no towels provided and we had to ask twice for towels to be given to us. Using the telephone to call room service, housekeeping or reception was a waste of time as no one ever picked up. We had to walk to the restaurant to order morning coffee for our room because no one picked up the phone even though the say they offer room service from 6am. But the worst was the restaurant quality food- appalling and absolutely pitiful. We had to send food back twice because they served us reheated food from the A la Carte restaurants. Even worse was that the second time it was fish and when I walked up to the chef and waitress and showed they they were horrified. I actually said to the head chef -“ how can you even allow this to leave the kitchen” because he was busy chatting with colleagues instead of looking at what was being served. Only then did he get in the kitchen to cook the food. Breakfast was the only decent food and I would highly recommend that if you’ve booked to stay here, go eat in the Centre where there are many more better restaurants like Grillo marinaro or Terracotta. In short- avoid like the plague

Not your regular AI, very quiet resort. There are not multiple choices for restaurants. There is one for breakfast, one for lunch and one for supper. Lunch and supper are a la carte. We are returning guests and it’s perfect for us. We love the resort, food and beverage is great but the staff are what make this resort extra special. We like to upgrade our room to ocean front with private pool. We order pesos from our bank at home and bring with us. Rooms are clean, beds are comfortable and you just need to ask if you want or need anything.

The overall stay was okay. During our stay the hurricane hit and we were stuck in our room for two days. I came with my family and kids and the kids were not able to get in the pool. The only thing we really enjoyed was Starbucks and the service we got from our barista Karina. She was really nice and polite.

Overall the place is old, the rooms are not kept up. The prices of the restaurant are absurd, you'll pay top dollar for an average meal as if you were in a five star hotel. The staff are nice and helpful but you can tell they're trying to stick it to the tourist, you'll pay three dollars for candy and 4 dollars for water . An average of 600 dlls per night, go somewhere else.

Camino Real Zaashila is one of the most beautiful and relaxing places in Huatulco! My husband and I were looking for that perfect destination wedding location, and searched all over Mexico for it. We knew we wanted a beach, and that we wanted a city that was not too turisty....that's when I thought about Huatulco. I had come here as a child to a wedding in Camino Real, and I remember thinking "oh my God! Am I in Greece? is this Mexico?". The architecture at this hotel is so beautiful it makes you feel like you are at a beaches in the Mediterranean. Another great thing about Camino Real is that is not considered a resort, and they only have a few number of rooms available. I really like this because it gives it more of an intimate feeling and you can really get to know a few of the people who work at the hotel. The only bad thing about Camino Real is that their service is always not the fastest. At the end, we decided to get married here and we had the best time! All of our guests enjoyed the hotel and had a great time during their stayed here.

Nice views, valet, restaurant and pool staff are amazing. BUT outdated rooms, worst room cleaning ever and reception staff not at all helpful. I'll use the other hotels next time. For the price paid ($4k) this should have been excellent. Family enjoyed the extra activities (extra payment) more than the activities offered by the hotel. The spa is not well located, the service is good but you receive a massage next to crying kids and kids pool. We paid a lot for the new years dinner and only the service was great BUT the food was cold, the musical group forgot the countdown for the new year and the music that they played was only cumbias. Not enough space in the beach for guests and security was super rude taking out your personal items if you didn't use your seats for more than one hour... again not at all excellent but really an average hotel very pricey.... we had a suite with 3 bathrooms and everyday we had to request towels, for 7 days we never had hand towels.... Not worth it for its views and service.

If I had one perfect week it was the one that I spent here. What a beautiful place. A week in paradise with my beautiful wife to attend my daughter's wedding. The wedding was held right on the private beach and count have been any cooler. There are a lot of things I could say about our room's private pool, the cool iguanas, the beautiful sunsets, the great food or the taxis always available to take you where you want to go at a great rate but I'm not going to. I'm just going to post some pictures of the hotel ang things to do in Hualtuco instead, and let you picture yourself there.

Absolutely incredible Christmas at the resort. While some of the room is a bit dated, the private pool in your room and resort as a whole is well worth it. This is not a huge party resort, but there's an active bar and pool scene. It is not an all-inclusive resort, but you can charge everything to your room if you choose. On Christmas Eve, there was a huge Christmas buffet in the evening with a variety of foods (it is a ticketed-only event). I highly recommend the breakfast buffet. Check out the beautiful rocks near the beach too!

We showed up for a late dinner. Worst food we have had in years. Stale tostadas. Raw steak. Cold caldo. Hair in salad. Plastic Oaxaca cheese with some non crunchy grasshoppers. There is so much good food in this area. We ended up grabbing some some street tacos at La Esquinta. Do yourself a favor and bypass the Camino.

In a relaxing atmosphere, this hotel is secluded from the others in the Bahia Tangolunda area. Peaceful and serene this is a great place to unwind with friends and family alike. Since the main pool closes at 8 pm I recommend getting the private pool for people who want to be in the water until late. Since the large pool gets direct sunlight you'll find it to be extremely warm, however some of the private pools are in shaded areas and therefore a little bit chilly. It usually cost around $3 per beer at any of the 3 bars and during parts of the day they have a 2 for 1 happy hour. This place is a little more classy than some of the other surrounding hotels so if you're looking for a Cancun type atmosphere with all inclusive drinks then this is NOT the place to be. However, if you're looking for more of a hotel that could be pulled straight from the pages of Conde Naste Traveler then this Mediterranean inspired resort will not disappoint. Along with turndown service, a minibar, security safes in the rooms, and full room service, many of the local tour guides that offer their services can be found on the beach advertising their services, but make sure to ask the staff to vouch for them before renting one of their bay tours since they are not part of the hotel but are independent operators.

The place is nice but they rip you off with charges for things like drinking water (not a sip is complimentary), internet and an expensive menu for Ok food. I reserved and pre-paid through Expedia and was asked for the ages of my 2 kids (16 and 11). Both kids were considered by Expedia as that, Kids!!! Nevertheless, upon my arrival, the hotel clerk (and later on the general manager) told me my 16-year-old son had to pay an extra USD$50/nigth. I started an argumentation with both of them but they would not give me a room unless I paid in advance. I will NEVER again stay in a Camino Real hotel!

When you get to the airport in Huatulco, MX there are other hotel providers that will offer you free tours and meal if you come and visit their hotel.

We love this place! It's by far way prettier than the other resorts in town. We stayed in October which is a less busy month for the resorts but we love it. Felt like a proper getaway. They keep the resort very clean, the entire staff are very nice and the food is really good. It's not an all inclusive but the prices aren't too bad. I'd definitely come back

This hotel/resort was exactly what we were looking for. My husband and I wanted to find a relaxing and secluded location in Mexico without the crowds and tourist prices. Not only did we find that- but we found a beautifully manicured, peaceful place to stay for our 9 day vacation. We were greeted with fresh watermelon juice upon arrival and driven to our room. We LOVED the staff (Juan at the bar, Huberto, Mauricio, and all the helpful people at the lobby and at information). Everyone was so friendly and accommodating. The food is really good, especially their gigantic breakfast buffet. We went into town for most dinners, but the two restaurants at the resort were great. The rooms are clean and comfortable and they all seem to have beautiful views of the Pacific Ocean. I'd recommend this place to anyone, and we are already planning on coming back in the future! Thank you CRZ!

Be very careful about staying at this resort. Much of the amenities are filled with VERY expensive hidden fees. We paid $70 USD at the beginning of our stay to access the wifi in our room which was terrible connection to say the least (I ended up paying my phone company for more data instead). When it came to check out time they tried to charge an additional $100 USD on top of the $70 for the wifi use. This along with sending security to our room with no explanation, room service holding our debit cards hostage for hours, and a less than fresh breakfast buffet for $24 USD. We will never be staying at this or any of the Camino Real Resorts again. This is a shame as some of the service staff was very accommodating, I just feel bad for them that they work under such terrible management. Thank you to the staff who helped make our stay enjoyable (the only reason this review received two stars instead of one) and shame on those preying on tourists and unsuspecting travelers. These are the kind of experiences that can hurt the tourism of an area that very much needs it.
