Hotel Quinta Bella

My husband and I just spent a week at this lovely hotel with fabulous restaurants on the property. Clean, safe, great location and excellent staff. If staying here, just be aware that guests "claim" the poolside and beach chairs early in the morning by placing a towel or other possessions on it and then don't return to use them until later in the day, preventing access to other guests. Also the resort sells day passes to the public which further reduces the availability of chairs for paying guests. One day I spoke to reception about how exceptionally crowded the pool and beach area was and their only response was to say they had a large group using day passes that day. So, you either have to play the game of "claiming" a chair very early in the morning or risk sitting on the ground by the pool or on the beach. Everything else about the property was wonderful.

The location of this hotel is breathtaking, really nice pools and the rooms have been updated. Quick 50 peso taxi into town made the spot a good base for the 2 days. Be warned though, the demographic that stays here is 55+ so if you're looking a younger crowd you won't find it. We witnessed a few arguments over pool umbrella's ("don't you dare touch my umbrella") and people reserving loungers with towls, allot of entitlement and complaining from the boomer crowd. Had breakfast on site once and it was average, better off going into town. No fridge in the room also. Would stay elsewhere next time, but overall the hotel itself and the location was great.

My wife and I had a really nice, last minute escape from winter in Canada just a week ago. The hotel suited us very well, being smaller and much different from the larger all inclusive hotels in Huatulco located in the next bay that also meant our beach was much less busy. The ocean swimming at our beach was challenging or Red flagged on windy days but nice when the wind was calm. The hotel’s pools were great with views of the ocean. Our room was recently renovated and comfortable but somewhat dark during the day as the rooms faced a forested hillside. Our first few nights were spent in the master suite overlooking the ocean. The balcony and view were lovely, but the room could use some refreshening, and it was smelly and noisy at times as there was a restaurant kitchen right below the room. The on site restaurants were very good however our meal at UNO was rushed and the experience of cooking our food ourselves on a flaming grill in the middle of the table was not ideal. A big thank you to all the staff at this resort, they were very kind and attentive every day of our stay. A special shout out to Maria at reception who was lovely and very accommodating. The hotel is located about a 25 minute walk or 5 minute taxi from the local town that was fun to visit. We look forward to returning in the future.

Quinta Bella has a great location in a beach that is much more quieter than other bays with resorts. Staff is friendly but if you need anything there is no way to contact the front desk from the room. We stayed in an beach view room with a pool which was amazing as a family. Clean and well kept with enough space for all. There is no fridge and no ice bucket available in the room. Meals ins most restaurants are around $35CAD per person assuming you drink a beer and a supermarket (Oxxo and Chedraui) is a couple blocks away. Every day they have a little bit of entertainment at night but during the day is mostly ambiance music in the pool with not a lot of activities. This is more of a boutique hotel so If you plan to eat all your meals and drinks in the hotel there may be better options nearby with all inclusive packages. Meals and drinks billing is done per meal, we struggled at getting anything charged to the room. In general, restaurants options are tasty but service is slow. At least 3 different occasions in 2 different restaurants we had to stand up to ask for service when half the tables were empty. Also, they would serve meals in random order like drinks last, or appetizers last, etc. it is 5 min drive from the main marina. Regardless, is a great option and we would definitely stay again because of the location, room with mini-pool and direct access to the beach.

We stayed 10 days. The rooms are ok. Little dirty but manageable. We had this odd turtle beside the bed(see photo below) that made that bed only functional on one side. Another guest said she was attacked my it in the night as she forgot and got up in that side of the bed. The location is amazing and the beach is awesome. The pool loungers are very difficult to sit on based on the design, a bar where u would sit, the beach loungers work like expected. The staff was great, pool staff was super fun and made everyone feel taken care of. The food was good and as expected on the higher price point, a pool side beer is, $6 CND and drinks start at $14 CND, we travelled the area a bit so we’re use to paying allot less for everything. It’s full of older Canadians if that’s your vibe, safe and everyone is friendly we met lots of people. We would stay again, the beach and location were our favourite part, u can watch the sunrise from ur balcony. Hope this helps.

Here’s my honest review about our stay for 7 days. We chose this hotel based on reviews and paid extra for premium suite. On the first night when we checked in, the floor was very dusty and if you dropped any clothing item then it’s no good to wear it. We asked for the bathroom to be extra clean before we arrive but it was okay. We travel a lot and usually stay at Marriott and Hilton properties and their cleanliness standards is some whole new level. Anyway Quinta Bella did not meet our expectations even though thinking getting a premium suite would do some justice but it didn’t. Housekeeping staff were super friendly and helpful. We asked for late checkout even for an hour but the guy at the front desk said no and was overcharging us for late check out. I was kind of surprised to see this as working in hotel industry for years we tend to give or go above and beyond to make our guests stay pleasant so they would come back. However, Quinta Bella did not make us feel that way especially when we paid so much more than the service we received. Females front desk were very helpful and friendly however the male front desk agent who checked us out was never welcoming and we felt like he did not want to help us or work there. I wouldn’t recommend staying here to anyone especially based on reviews. We prepaid for this hotel and was non refundable so we had no option but stay here.

I used to love this hotel and the food is amazing. For Valentine’s Day we wanted to reserve the special menu but they refused to accommodate us unless we bought the four course menu for the children as well even when we offered to feed them first at one of their other restaurants. Very sad that cause they didn’t want the kids to be there we aren’t able to enjoy a valentines day meal. We used to go here and recommend them all the time but will sadly not be returning.

Caution! Do NOT book Quinta Bella Huatulco. I booked a premium $400 room at this hotel for one night starting tomorrow, Friday January 16, 2026. The highway/road to the hotel is closed and will be indefinitely. A mountain is being moved to build the highway. It’s open only from 4-7am or after 7pm. It’s a dangerous drive when it is open and very dark and dirty. I was advised not to travel for my own safety. I called the hotel 3 days in advance. They would not allow a cancellation without full penalty despite the situation and several days notice; meaning no refund whatsoever. I asked if I could move my reservation to a later date and again the hotel would not accommodate. It took 48 hours for the hotel to respond. I repeatedly asked to speak to the Hotel Manager and was repeatedly ignored. I have not cancelled my reservation in hopes the hotel will change its mind and do the right thing. I would expect this hotel, as in all hotels, should put the safety of their customers first. Or at least notify customers of a major issue, like disruption to the access road, upon booking. Very upset! Update: the hotel reached out and said they have reviewed my request and will allow me to rebook in two days. That was the only option. Unfortunately the highway will not be open in two days and alternative arrangements cannot be made in that time frame. This offer is not only a reflection of poor customer service but shows no common sense whatsoever. I proposed any date in February and was declined. Again, I would NOT advise anyone book La Quinta Bella in Huatulco.

The service is bad at two of the restaurants, one of them being Otto. The yoga mats that they provide are disgusting! When this was pointed out nothing was done to fix the problem. The cost of the hotel was so much in the end although it was advertised for so much less in the beginning. The rooms did get cleaned in a timely fashion. The coffee stunk! The rooms had no refrigerators in them.

Beautiful location, rooms are nice and clean, BUT the pillows, towels, bed sheets, pillows are all VERY VERY OLD, RUFF on the skin, dingy in color from being so so aged! The shower is head flow poorly. My number 1 complaint, sheets, pillows, and towels all have to be replaced, I would be surprised it these items are not over 10 years old.

Absolutely loved Quinta Bella.....such a fine resort and the staff went out of their way to make our stay a genuine treat. We choose a King Suite with our off patio private pool....that was the single feature that made me choose the resort. Restaurants on the property were exceptional. Loved our breakfasts on their covered deck watching the ocean. OTTO restaurant was one of the best of our whole trip. Outstanding food and service.

This is definitely a nice place to stay for visitors to the Huatulco Mexico area. The rooms are basic but comfortable, the pools are lovely and the poolside service absolutely cannot be beat! We had all kinds of drinks and snacks during the three days we were there, And frankly we were blown away by how friendly the servers were! The hotel is also within walking distance to the central area and Mercado. Really the only downside was the staff at the front desk. No matter who was there, they seemed very put out every time we asked for a bottle of water. They just don't seem to like tourists. In our opinion, people with that attitude shouldn't be working the front desk. But all in all, it's a decent place to stay.

*LATE REVIEW* I surprised my fiance to a trip to Mexico for the first time! So we did not know what to expect. We went in the beginning in July. Hands down, although Mexico is basically cheaper than America in almost everything, Quinta Bella was not just affordable, but also came with QUALITY service and QUALITY FOOD! This type of hotel would cost thousands in America! At this rate would definitely keep customers coming! Pricing is affordable, not too cheap to where it is skeptical, and not too expensive to where I'd look elsewhere. The whole experience of beachfront, our own private pool, easy access to hotel pool and bars made the experience an everlasting memory! The private beach where you can have a nice long walk made our experience in Mexico overall the best trip outside of country, so far. Quinta Bella is extremely close to local restaurants, activities, convenience stores, etc. If I were to come back to Huatulco, I will definitely book this place as long as it doesnt cost an arm and a leg. Thank you to Quinta Bella and staff, especially the security and front gate attendants! They were friendly and I just felt it was more of a personal/friend connection rather than just a business. I 100% recommend. FYI, looks like they are building more rooms, and pools and maybe other activities/bars at this hotel. So to all new guests, I hope this is up and running because it looked beautiful even during the construction process.

I went there to enjoy my New Year's. I made point to book a resort to have full access of amenities cones with the resort like restaurants, bars and pool. The hotel closed pool/ beach access, bars and restaurant for the guest who stayed there, paying 220$ a night without a notice ahead. If I knew it I did not book this place. The owner of the hotel threw a private party that non of the guest have access. I had to go to an other resort to spend my New Year's Eve which was not easy to get an access. I returned to my resort and the private pArty still went till 2:30 am. Window shaking music and karaoke continued. All of their gust had no concept of social distancing and masks. Crappy place ever.

My Husband, Son and I had a wonderful stay at the Quinta Bella, it is a small quaint location which makes it perfect for enjoying the resort without fighting crowds. The entire staff was attentive and provided great customer service our entire stay. The downside is not bringing in your own drinks, it worked fine for us but it does cost more. Extremely close to town, just a short cab ride away.
