This was our second time visiting.... a beautiful huge pool. Perfect to swim in every day. Views over park and ocean are perfect. Great place to go and relax. Could do with a coffee maker in room. Fridge available on request. Breakfast available at extra cost

We stayed here for 6 nights from March 3/18. Xquenda hotel and spa is in a beautiful quiet setting, conveniently situated to everything. It's about a 10 min. walk to Chahue marina with its restaurants ( must eats- Tavoli 7 and Cafe Juanita) and the big supermarket. Also about a 20 min walk into LA Crueccita where there are many more restaurants.
Xquenda is an oasis overlooking a gorgeous and quiet park setting. We had a stunning view of the ocean and garden from our rm -Yahul.

Now the pros and cons:

Pros
-comfortable king sized bed although a bit on the hard side. Nice sheets
-We asked for a fridge and got one-very new and it had a small freezer inside. 8$ US per day surcharge which is fair.
-Immaculately clean room/ facilities and beautiful grounds and spaces-very Mexican
-The spa treatments are among the best I've had anywhere! Highly recommended!! Wish I had time for more!
-Nice lap pool and very clean!
Great tennis court
Liked the guy on the front desk. Sorry forgot yr name!
-Very good air con.
Fidel and Barbara were helpful but not the best hosts we've had
Good value really

Cons
I felt that the owners were just really going through the motions of running this place... not as friendly.
Our room was not a suite but I did request it after positive reviews. There is no door to the bathroom.
Nowhere to put your clothes away other than a small enclave with hangers. OK for 6 nights though.
The glass? top was missing from my night side table.
Night side table lights ridiculously bright!
Wifi restricted to lobby area only- in this day and age?
No coffee or tea in the lobby. We brought our travel kettle thank goodness.
Old plastic loungers in pool area with NO cushions. Chatted with a woman there whose husband has a bad back and he even brings a foam cushion with him but he wasn't comfortable in these loungers. Huatulco generally caters to the over 50s crowd by the way...
I umbrella that was fine for 1 couple at the pool just turned us off from going to the pool as these loungers and again without cushions was always occupied. How much would it cost to update these and add more umbrellas? We couldn't sit by the pool because of this. They did have loungers on the other side of the pool under a tree as I remember. The same old ones...
If they fix these issues I will give them a 5 plus star rating!!
