Either with children, family or with friends, this is the jewel of Huatulco! 
It is very comfortable, relaxed ambiance, the view is incredible and Amy is an extraordinary hostess. The breakfast is warm and welcoming.  It is very safe and the beach is at walking distance if you don’t want to swim in the extraordinary warm pool.  That will be the place for my next visit. Enjoy Agua Azul La Villa for your next vacation!

This is the perfect  place for your next vacation in Huatulco.

This was our second stay at Aqua Azul la Villa, and it did not disappoint. That being said, I understand that most, if not all reviews are subjective, as we're all looking for our perfect oasis. Well, for us, this is the place. 

Aqua Azul provides the perfect balance, from all the amenities we can think off, the hosts Amy and Frank, to the spectacular views, location, (at least for us), beach chairs, shade umbrellas, and all the little extras that Amy provides. 
A light breakfast is provided each morning, and Amy was gracious enough to let us have ours a little earlier than the norm so that we could head out on our walk. Thank you!

Amy is also a wealth of knowledge when it comes to local restaurants, entertainment, tours, beaches, and so on. If you don't have the What'sAp Ap on your phone it would be a good idea to download so that you do. Most of the taxi drivers and restaurants utilize this app to communicate, as does Amy, which is very helpful. There is also a great bookshelf in the common area where you may, or may not find something to read, if that's your thing.

Oh, and lets not forget the access to an incredible beach just a short walk/hike away, maybe 10 minutes, really depends on the individual. The trail down to the beach is a little steep at the start, certainly not a deal breaker given the reward at the bottom. And although some guests found it a little easier than others, that didn't stop Frank from adding a length of rope at the top portion to help out those guests that may otherwise not of ventured down the trail. Thanks Frank.
The rooms are perfect for us and provide everything we need, after all most of our time, outside of sleeping, is spend outdoors. 

Aqua Azul is a little ways out of town, about 7-8k, a relatively short cab ride. Cabs cost approximately 80-85 pesos into La Crucecita, or Santa Cruz areas, and it's best to ask before you get in. The Tangolunda area is closer, approximately 2.5k, you can cab it, or it's a nice walk earlier in the day, or just before sunset if you choose to do so. We walked a lot, pretty much every day, the area is very safe, sidewalk all the way to town, or if you like you can head the other way to La Boccana, another great spot with a couple of restaurants, beach to walk, and some surfing. This is where the Copalita river meets the ocean, lots of birds, and a really nice place to chill.

We like the fact that we're not right in town, it can be very busy, and a little noisy at times, but if that's your thing, then go for it. But if you want the perfect blend of relaxation, beach access, quiet nights and stunning views then Aqua Azul is a great choice that won't disappoint.
I know we'll be heading back for another visit at some point, and expect it to be no different than the first two adventures at Aqua Azul!

The Best Medicine!

Agua Azul is a great alternative for those who don't want to stay in an all inclusive, and are more into what the nature of Huatulco has to offer. With 2 excellent beaches within a short walk, and close proximity to Playa La Bocana and other excellent beaches, Agua Azul offers so much at a reasonable cost. Playa Tejoncito, a 10 minute walk away down a steep trail offers a beautiful quiet beach with shade trees, swimming and very good snorkelling.
The access to La Crucecita and Santa Cruz by an inexpensive (85P), short cab ride, make AA an oasis of tranquility after a day in town. Returning in the evening after enjoying what town has to offer (excellent restaurants, shopping, culture and music), it was so wonderful to unwind with the sound of the surf, and the moonlit ocean view.
As others have mentioned, Amy is the consummate host with great advice and information. Agua Azul is not 5 star luxury, but is 5 star in all other aspects thanks to Amy's caring attention to her guests. 
Our stay, 23 wonderful days. We found that the other guests were interesting adventurous people and had many enjoyable conversations in the common area during our stay.

A great home base Oasis when visiting Huatulco!

We had a wonderful stay at Agua Azul B&B.  The B&B is located in a gated community overlooking the ocean.  Close enough to hear the surf at night and nothing more.  The place is so quiet we thought we were the only guests there until we came up the next morning and met the few other guests at the host's healthy breakfast of local fruits and yogurt.  We enjoyed the public beaches with their authentic outdoor restaurants right on the beach, but if you're looking for solitude on a beautiful beach with crystal clear water its right down from hill from Agua Azul BB.  Now back in the snow, we can't wait to return.

Quiet Beauty Near the Ocean

We stayed with Amy at Agua Azul la Villa for one week and absolutely fell in love with it and the area. It was our first time exploring Huatulco and we can't wait to come back. Amy and Agua Azul exceeded our expectations, it is a magical place and Amy makes you feel so at home that at times I felt I was staying at a friend's house. She is so informative, gracious, generous and made our stay incredibly memorable and special. Ask her anything and she will have the answer and because she is bilingual, she can respond in either spanish or english! We are easy going, laid back, down to earth people and this place was a great match for us because Amy has that same vibe. 

There were so many things we loved about this place and our time there but I will start with the physical setting and the view. We got up early every morning to see the sunrise over the water, every morning was a little different. all gorgeous and the birdsong accompanying it is wonderful.  You can view it from your personal terrace or up in the main common room which has open views to the water (everything faces the water as it should!)   AA is up on a hill in a residential section called Residencial Conejos which we loved as it was near the ocean, great views of water and the mountains, but quiet, tranquil and away from cars and lots of people.  We walked every morning, sometimes on the beach, sometimes towards Tangolunda bay or towards Playa Bocana. There are well maintained wide sidewalks all over the place for walking in any direction including all the way into La Crucecita if you wanted. 

We loved having breakfast included which was a variety of fruit, granola, yogurt, little pastries and hard boiled eggs.  It was a nice time to chat with Amy and some of the other guests who were so friendly. One amenity that we very grateful for was that Amy keeps a fridge in the common room stocked with cold beer, wine, seltzer and soda that guests have access to and take what you want, all on the honor system,  and just mark what you take on the white board.  She also has koozies to keep your beer cold (so important!). Beers are 30 pesos each, about $1.75 US. She keeps a large water cooler full so you can refill your water pitcher from your room anytime.  She also has sunscreen and bug spray you can purchase. Good to note that the beds are very comfy, AC unit in the room works awesome. 

You have walking access to 2 beaches from Agua Azul that involve a 10 to 15 minute walk on well established trails to get there.  Both trails are steep in places and the path down to Playa la Tejoncito at the top is steep enough to have some well placed and sturdy rope for you to hang onto as you negotiate.  Amy has walking sticks you can borrow to help on these paths which I highly recommend as well as footwear with some tread. Tejoncito beach is the smaller, more protected beach that you can reliably swim in and is associated with the property Celeste Beach Residence resort which is right on the water's edge. However, the beach is not privately owned by them, all beaches in Huatulco are public!

For our first beach day we were feeling tired and lazy from our long travel day so we ended up buying a day pass at Celeste Beach residence for 800 pesos each (about $47 US) which allowed us to walk right through the front door of the hotel (not go down the path), use the beach chairs, beds and umbrellas, have helpful staff get us drinks and have access to their pool and poolside bar and restaurant. 500 pesos of your 800 peso day pass goes towards food and drink. We had a few cold cervezas on the beach and then lunch up by the pool. The food was quite good, highly recommend the Tuna Tostadas.  

After that day, we were all about exploring.  By far our favorite beach to walk to from Agua Azul was Playa Arena, again, down a path that is lined with interesting cactus trees and plants and a little longer walk than to Tejoncito beach, about 15 minutes. The reward is spectacular, an expansive beach with no one there, scores of turtle nests and tracks of turtles, rugged rock formations, cliffs. We were thankful to be able to borrow a sun shade, beach chairs and a soft sided cooler for beverages from Amy so we could stay at this beach for hours. Truly special and spectacular and away from the crowds which we loved. Felt like our own private beach! The water is amazing but note that the swimming here is variable, one day, very easy to get in and out of the ocean, another day maybe a bit tricker.  One day, we were lucky enough to see 3 Humpback whales from this beach!

Coming home after being in the sun, sand and wind of the beach to rinse off in the outdoor shower by the pool and jump in the pool was so refreshing!   Amy gives you a key to the villa and you can come and go as you please. We used taxis to go everywhere, we mostly used Nico who was recommended by Amy. He was great, he spoke some english, very reliable, friendly, if he couldn't come get us, he would send one of his co-workers. All communication was on Whatsapp which worked great. 

Our stay at Agua Azul was just fantastic. Amy was highly responsive, both in person and via text to whatever questions we had.  Truly a wonderful host and person! Muchos Gracias Amy and hope to see you again! We would come back in a heartbeat!!

Just the piece of paradise we were looking for!

This place is absolute heaven on earth - there aren't enough words to describe it! We were incredibly fortunate to have found this unassuming little corner of paradise. So comfortable, so fun, so relaxing, so enjoyable, so easygoing - we just wanted to stay forever! Could. Not. Recommend. Enough!

The room: Amy was kind enough to put us in the Pelicano, which is the highest up, the most private, and with the best view. Large room, excellent AC, comfy bed (though short if you are a 6'3" Canadian), lots of room for two men, big bathroom, excellent shower, room is refreshed every day except Friday, lovely balcony with stunning view, and a hammock and chairs to relax in. We didn't need anything else!

The property: Built on a hillside facing to the west, so gorgeous sunsets and a staggering view. Lots of stairs, so probably not the best for highly mobility-challenged people, but easy to navigate. Lovely little pool to relax in and cool off at the end of the day. Beautiful landscaping so plenty of birds and other critters to observe!

The breakfast: every day from 8:00-10:00 (but flexible), Amy lays on a great spread of pastries, yogurt and granola, coffee, tea, juice, sometimes toast, LOTS of fresh delicious fruit. The breakfast room is beautiful with the signature postcard view, and always lots of chatter with the other guests for recommendations, updates, etc. Wine, beer, spirits, pop, etc. are available for purchase, and endless water for free. If you are extra nice to Amy she can possibly lend you snorkelling gear, beach chairs and umbrellas, and hats. Bring a fridge magnet to add to the collection!

The local area: of course the beaches - can easily walk to two! One is a shorter but slightly steeper hike (maybe ten minutes) to a smaller beach, very calm, good snorkelling, a few people but not a lot, very beautiful and relaxing, some shade available. The other is a slightly longer but flatter walk, and is ABSOLUTELY HUGE! And basically no-one there! Unbelievably relaxing. However, when we were there the waves were quite huge and the swimming was not great, but still a stunning beach.
Right next door to AA is a full-service restaurant that serves breakfast, lunch and dinner - excellent food and drinks, and great service.

The wider area: a short 40 minute walk away is the neighbourhood of Tangolunda (or TL as we locals call it), which has a few cafes and shops, notably Cafe Juanita, which was delightful. A short cab ride away (85 pesos) is the town of La Crucecita, which has all the shops, coffee places, street food, taquerias, bars, restaurants, etc you could ever want! And of course there are dozens more beaches, each with their particular allure, so you can literally go to a different beach every day for weeks!

Amy: by far the best thing about Agua Azul is the owner, Amy. Fluently bilingual, she can easily rattle off the answer to almost any question you might have, and if she can't, she find out for you in minutes (and if she still can't, she'll make it up and you'll never know the difference...). Extremely helpful, she has endless recommendations, insights, relevant local knowledge, contacts - all you will ever need. She has three cab drivers she works closely with that are available whenever you want, so that is incredibly convenient. She clearly loves Huatulco, and loves her guests, and will do (almost) anything to make your stay here the best it can possibly be! You now have a home in Paradise!

Can we please stay here forever?

Terrific place to relax and unwind.  Amy the host is terrific providing us with great restaurant and beach recommendations.  The  room was great!  Spacious and great view of the ocean.  Breakfast was delicious with fresh fruit and baked goods.  Coffee was pretty darn  good too!  We booked our next trip for February 2024!

Relaxation at its finest in unspoiled Mexico

We had a great stay at Agua Azul. The ocean view from the terrazzo is beautiful. Amy the owner is very helpful and informative ( and made great breakfasts!). Also: our room had a great mattress and pillows-which is a huge plus! : )
The B & B is near two beaches: one is a beautiful walking beach and the other is a nice swimming/snorkeling beach. ( The beaches are accessible on foot via  two fairly steep hills)

If you are visiting Huatulco, the Agua Azul de Villa is a perfect relaxing and lovely B & B.

I stayed here in February 2023. I was traveling with a friend - I stayed in the Delfin room, she had the Orca room. Both rooms were conveniently close to the upstairs breakfast/common room and the downstairs pool. The stairs look much longer in the photos; the stairs up or down were much shorter and easier to navigate than expected.

As mentioned in all of the newer reviews, since Amy and Frank bought Agua Azul about a year ago, the best amenity at Agua Azul is Amy. She is like the human version of google. Ask her anything and if she doesn’t know, she will find out. Restaurants, markets, good cab drivers, fun things to do…and she is so laid back about Agua Azul that I felt at home. No long list of rules, no stalking oversight, trusting her visitors with an honor refrigerator full of the coldest beer we had in Mexico (lots of variety), soda, bubbly waters, hard seltzers. Red and white wines. The beers, sodas, etc were $20 pesos, the wines were labeled with individual prices. A box to put the pesos in was located next to the frig.

The rooms each had a small refrigerator. The doors had screens so they could be left open at night to allow the sound of the ocean in. There are no televisions but there is a really big bookcase full of fairly current books to read. Fiction, non-fiction, travel and nature guides, cultural information.

Amy keeps a list of important phone numbers on a white board near the front door. The list provided us with a great taxi driver, Nico. He was always prompt and helpful. He speaks quite a bit of English too. While some of the younger guests walked to Huatulco and Santa Cruz, these two aging people took taxis everywhere. Thirty minutes of walking in the heat would have been overkill for us. Taxis are cheap and plentiful.

Breakfast was included in the room rate. This consisted of various fruits, yogurt, granola, hard boiled eggs and assorted breads and pastries. When Amy could find enough oranges, fresh juice was also provided. And a giant pot of coffee. Amy turned us on to Yum Huatulco, a food delivery app. They had 15-20 restaurants listed, and usually showed up within 30 minutes (even though the app said 45). The food was always fresh and hot (or cold if salads or desserts). It was a welcome change from going out daily.

There is a condominium development about a 5 minute walk down the hill. They sell very limited day passes, but they had a pool and loungers on the sand by the small bay. The bay was warm and easy swimming, with very few people and no motorized craft zipping around. The $500 peso fee included $350 pesos that went toward food and drink. Waiters and waitresses provided good service. The food was really good. I will make it a point to use the day pass option more often when I come back. That same beach is also accessible by a trail through the jungle at a cost of $0 pesos. Amy has chairs, umbrellas, little ice chests and snorkel equipment for use. There is a small fee for use of the snorkel equipment, the rest is included in your room rate.

Agua Azul la Villa is tied with Sun Duda Villas in Xcalak as my favorite vacation location. Agua Azul is way easier to get to though and I can’t wait to return.

Way better than expected

We stayed at agua azul in nov. 22. The accommodations and neighborhood were really sweet! The beach access trail was a bit steep although my wife and i are both in our 70's.  The sunrises from our room as well as the amazing breakfast area were stunning. Amy was a great host answering my many questions and offering advice. we will stay here again.  Also, while there visit playa bocana -it's amazing.
