Nirú Ocean Suites by Binniguenda

A key note about Huatulco in general, and this property in particular: despite it being all-inclusive, you are not in Cancun or Acapulco. First, the hotel. Though it calls itself Nirú Ocean Suites, only four of the eight total rooms face the water. And it's a bay, not the ocean. That said, the service was efficient and friendly. The hotel pool was hardly occupied (again, only eight rooms), and the bar, while poorly stocked, was open most of the day. The rooms were spacious and pretty. The towel service, complete with a card you had to turn in at the end of your stay, was a bit annoying. The Beach Club. Included with your rate, it is primarily for local and Mexican tourists, who pay a fee for the all-inclusive food, separate pool, and beach access. Not many international tourists here. The food is pretty awful. The beach is pretty crowded but has fine sand, and since it's a bay, no waves. Hotel food: here is where things got dicey. First off, the quality of the hotel food is significantly better than at the Beach Club, although they share some dishes. And this is where things fall apart. Since the Beach Club is primarily locals and/or nationals, avoid the salads. My wife, friend and I all got sick from it. Thankfully, we had a full day to recover before moving on to Oaxaca. Whatever the lettuce was washed in did not sit well.

This is my second stay at this property since its opening in november. The staff here make this an even more amazing place to stay. Housekeeping is always immaculate, the pool bathrooms always clean. The staff really seem to care about keeping this property in its near new state. Everything is conveniently located and within walking distance.

First off amazing rooms and facilities, new, modern and very clean. The views are fantastic, the location is so convenient to Santa Cruz beach, shopping and dining. The breakfast and dinner service is better then any all inclusive I’ve ever stayed at. A few glitches that need to be worked out. You need to take 3 elevators to get to the top floors and they broke down twice during our stay. They do not offer room service and are not allowed to take food from the restaurant to your room. So kinda inconvenient when one of our family got sick. You do share the beach club with the Binniguenda so that can get busy and a shortage of seating. However there is a private pool that was quieter and well maintained. Francisco was a great server at that pool. He was very attentive and offered great service Overall I would stay there again. For the rooms alone.
