Secrets Huatulco

I taught 2 morning yoga classes (8 &9:00) which began at the outdoor palapa, but moved to the gym at the spa. no mosquitos! Great group of diverse yogis from MX & USA. This resort is beautiful and run so well. Loved the diversity of people, food & restaurants. Enjoyed the activities: archery, water aerobics ping pong, kayaking, excursions. E-team is awesome! Upgraded to preferred & was well worth it. We loved this resort!

From check in into our ocean-front room, to check out, all staff were wonerful! The entertainment team of Daniel, Abraham, and Julio are amazing! They handle all of the activities as well as the water sports- WOW. This resort is super special. Every staff member was welcoming and wonderful! The area is spectacular with lots of low-cost adventures. The place to teach stretch is peaceful and calm. What a gift!! I appreciate these teaching vacations very much! Thank you for keeping the magic going! I look forward to more fall adventures!!

I've taught at this resort before and enjoyed returning. Class was held in the activity center. It's a great resort!

This is the nicest resort I've been to. The location on the ocean with a protected bay was amazing. Basically a private beach for the hotel. Kayaks, Hobie cats, paddle boards, masks/fins for snorkeling are all included to use. The space for yoga was a covered palapa hut. The mats were brought to the space and were there everyday. Some students joked/complained about them being dirty, but pool towels were used to cover them as desired. Also, an iced water container with glasses was brought each day. I taught an 8:00am and 9:00am class each day. I had about 8 - 10 people at the first class and 2 - 6 at the second. This resort seemed to have people visiting for a week's vacation. So, many students were repeat each day, so I enjoyed getting to know them and building a class structure around them as they got used to me. I brought a Bluetooth speaker for music. The room you will likely get is 2201 or 2203 (I was told from entertainment assistant director). Amazing views. And an easy walk at the end of the building to the palapa where I taught. I've seen photos of teachers teaching at other locations at the resort (beach, spa, grass near the gym). Some thought they would have been better locations. In regards to the resort, the layout is great. A quiet pool (dubbed "the library") and an actives pool. I loved the chairs and palapas on the beach! Nearly every day. Half the restaurants had marginal food, a couple really great. This is typical at every resort in my experience. The evening game shows and dance shows (!) were a lot of fun. Live bands at the outdoor bar every night was awesome. You are an easy cab ride to La Crucecita, the nearby town. I will be definitely going back to teach at this resort.

Teaching tennis here is great. The E-Team works very hard and is supporting of the guest instructors. They have racquets and balls. Great experience as always.

I loved Secrets Huatulco! My schedule was two morning yoga classes (8am and 9am) in the platform palapa beside the main pool - a beautiful place to teach! Franchesco was my contact person...he called my room on Sunday evening and let me know where my classes were to take place the following morning. He came by Monday morning at 9am to introduce himself and see if I had any questions. He put the mats out on Sunday night, so everything was ready for me on Monday morning. He told me to pile the mats up after class and just leave them on the platform (so no carting anything around). Towels can be found by the elevator at the main pool. I had participants for all classes every day (numbers ranged from 5 to 11). This resort is a hidden gem; it was such a pleasant surprise! I had heard it was a little "dated", but what I discovered was a beautiful sanctuary during a pandemic. (It is an older resort, but very clean. My only complaint was the beds were a little hard.) I visited in the height of omicron in February 2022. The resort was a very safe place to be, masking while indoors. All restaurants offer outside dining, which made dinner a wonderful event, as the evenings are so nice and warm. The pools are large with lots of seating, and the beach is spectacular - crystal clear water....I swam & snorkelled every day. There is also hiking trails and nearby beaches and towns. Our room was on the first floor of building #1. We had a patio with jacuzzi, and the most incredible view. We went to all the restaurants, and loved every one; absolutely no complaints. The staff will go out of their way to make your day. Franchesco & Marco from the E team were amazing and so helpful. I witnessed them going out of their way to help many guests with kayaks, paddle boards, hobby-cat, beach chairs, towels....you name it - they are on it. Feel free to reach out with any questions.

I taught yoga at Secrets Huatulco last winter - sorry for the delay on the review! But some helpful tid bits for others: class is held in palapa near the pool. there are mats, blocks, cleaner, towels. I prefer no music when teaching outside with the whimsical breeze and ocean sounds. I walked around and invited guests to attend. The E-Team does this, too. The concierge desk was more helpful for me than front desk staff because more of the concierge staff speak English. Will book again soon!

Resort was nice and the staff was very friendly. I traveled during the off season, so not much going on. I was scheduled to teach twice a day, a morning cycle class and an afternoon (5pm) class. The entertainment team hosted water aerobics, which was a hit. During the week, I only had one small group show up for class. The drinks were delicious and the food was alright. The Italian restaurant was so yummy, but only open one night. Buffet was kinda of gross. Lots of flies and not much variety. Not much to do in the surrounding area. The photos on this page do not look much like the actual resort.

7 and 8 am yoga. First day slow, after that 7 am 6 to 10 people, 8 am full - had to turn a couple people away!An amazing experience! So good I booked my next trip while I was on this one! Thanks so much!

Back again this year and still FABULOUS!

I forgot the stars!

Delivered a Monday-Saturday mini-band workout at 9AM and bootcamp workout at 5PM at the palapa by the pool. There were 2-4 participants at each workout. It wasn't until mid-week that I was up on the digital activities board showing the times and formats. Entertainment team was happy to join me when they could to help drum up interest.Another great teaching vacation experience!
