Mexico: Bahias de Huatulco (The Bays of Huatulco)

After a commenter on my Traveling to Mexico post mentioned Bahias de Huatulco (The Bays of Huatulco), I decided to do a little research. All I can find are positive comments.

It seems that the nature is unspoiled by the nice hotels:

Pristine beaches and jungle landscapes can make for an idyllic retreat from the stress of daily life -- and when viewed from a luxury hotel balcony, even better. Huatulco is for those who want to enjoy the beauty of nature during the day, then retreat to well-appointed comfort by night.
The closest thing to a complaint that I can find is that there's not much nightlife and that dining is expensive considering the quality of the food.

I'm not sure it's good news that the government agency FONATUR (the same agency responsible for Cancun) is developing Bahias de Huatulco (The Bays of Huatulco), but at least they are planning to preserve much of the nature. One thing I know I don't like is that some small local communities have been transplanted from the coast into Crucecita.

What are the bays you ask...

Bahía de San Augustín is the westernmost bay and is remote to the main development area. The town of San Augustín is located here. It can be accessed by a dirt road which exits the Carretera Costera (Hwy 200) near the Huatulco International Airport.

Bahía Chachacual is three miles east of San Augustín.

Bahías Cacaluta, Oregano, and Maguey are small bays located 2-3 miles west of Santa Cruz.

Bahía de Santa Cruz is a small bay on which the original town of Santa Cruz is located. The cruise ship dock, Playa Chahue and Playa La Entrega are in this bay.

Bahía Chahue is a larger bay immediately to the east of Santa Cruz and close to La Crucecita.

Bahía Tangolunda, east of Chahue, is where the more upscale resort hotels are located.

Bahía Conejos is just to the east of Tangolunda.
