Huatulco refers to the resort area Bahías de Huatulco or the bays of Huatulco. The four main parts of Huatulco are Tangolunda, the area where the more upscale resorts are located, Santa Cruz, a small town with more hotels, the marina and Santa Cruz beach, La Crucecita, another small town just inland from the beach area that provides support services to the resort, and Chahué, an area between Santa Cruz and Tangolunda. These areas are within a mile or two of each other, so hotels and restaurants for all of them are listed here on the Huatulco page. Construction on the Huatulco resort area began in 1983; virtually all structures were built after that date. The existing population was relocated to Santa Maria Huatulco. The area is known for its beautiful isolated bays separated by rocky hills set against the backdrop of the Sierra Madre del Sur. Traveling north of the area, the terrain rises quickly becoming a lush tropical jungle where crops such as coffee, bananas, cashew nuts are grown.

Transportation • Transportación

Car Rentals: There are several car rental companies in Huatulco including Dollar, Hertz, Thrifty, and Eurocar. Thrifty and Eurocar overcharge ($90/day in 2008), and require that you purchase insurance even if your credit card already covers it, and fail to honor reservations. Eurocar is particularly aggressive about searching for extra dings and scratches to charge you for. Cars are often not available for walk-in customers during the tourist season. Consider that for what it costs to rent a car from Thrifty or Eurocar, you could have a taxi with driver for the day. Hertz is considerably cheaper, doesn't require that you purchase the extra insurance and is recommended. See also general information about car rentals.
