Coral Blue Huatulco All Inclusive

Coral Blue Huatulco All Inclusive

8/10 Good
"Great Stay, One Letdown We had a really great stay at Coral Blue. The food was good, the staff was on point, and honestly everyone we interacted with was friendly, smiling, and willing to help. Overall, the service and atmosphere were excellent, and we really enjoyed our time there. The only thing that was disappointing was the included kayaking and snorkeling. Those activities were part of our package, but whenever we asked about them, we were told to check with the lifeguard. When we did, we were told the activities weren’t available because the waves were too strong. I completely understand that safety comes first, but it was a little frustrating because the hotel is directly exposed to the open ocean, so strong waves seem like something that could potentially be anticipated when offering those activities as part of a package. It would have been nice to have clearer communication about when those activities would actually be available. Other than that, we had a great experience. The staff, food, service, and overall stay were all excellent. That was really the only takeaway that kept the experience from being perfect."
