View of Santa cruise
Excellent location, beautiful views, nice pool. Place is not a 5 star but well worth the money. Lots of stairs. 100 stairs down to the beautiful fandango bay where there is snorkeling. Could use some kitchen extras, but we made it work. 20-25 walk to town or 40 pesos cab ride. We loved it but we’re not fancy people.

Great views but run down
I’m loved the style of the outside but the inside needs a lot of work. The beds were extremely uncomfortable. However, the balcony and view is incredible.
There really ISNT a restaurant. They have a room service menu. The day we wanted breakfast they said they weren’t serving breakfast. That night we ordered pizza which they actually order from somewhere else and don’t make it there. It was AWFUL and BURNT. We ordered it at 740pm and it arrived burnt at 10pm.
The location is good. A few walkable options but be prepared to walk a bit up and down a hill.
The pictures on the ad are somewhat true, the view is beautiful. However it is very difficult to get to the beach or anywhere else. There are no stores or restaurants within a 30 minute walk. We booked a kitchen unit, however there was no coffee maker, no kettle and the pot and pans were in such bad shape I would not cook with them. The tv did not work at all. The bed was extremely hard and when you lay on it you felt the springs. You don’t prepay at Fandango and was glad of that. They don’t take credit cards so you have to pay in cash. Despite booking 3 weeks we left after 2 nights.

This is a nice little hidden resort.. older and could use some updating for sure, but the view is great and the room service is cheap!
Staff was very helpful as well!
The views from the hotel are great, other than that the service, cleanliness and upkeep of the property are below par.

The property has so much potential .. unfortunately has not been keep therefore there is many áreas to improved…still is located on a prime real state of the bay…
When we arrived, the hotel wanted to charge us a rate much higher than what we reserved in hotels.com, so we didn’t stay there.

Disliked: Cleanliness
The view is spectacular..the mosquitos were terrible..the air conditioning and TV did not work, the unit was dirty and not upkept..the sliding glass door was very difficult to open..the shower was not working properly..the kitchenette was dirty and the utensils were filthy and old, refrigerator was not cold..the bathroom was outside the room..the price was way too expensive for a poor quality accomodation..
When checking in the staff was unfriendly and demanded cash payment even when we paid with credit card, place is in major need of repairs, unsafe stair’s with falling down and no rail for support, pool not clean, no running water at times, rooms sliding doors don’t lock, no safe for personal items, we had cash stolen from our room, staff didn’t care, and tried to say we lost it. No control of room keys from front desk, found out after we filed a complaint with the public ministry of Huatulco, had to change hotel because of the unsafe conditions and the high robbery chances. NO RECOMMENDED. Orbits should remove this place from the Huatulco options. After speaking with locals about the incident they commented that it’s not the first time this has happened in fandango hotel so we made sure to take time from our vacation to file a complaint and have a investigation about the incident with local government so this will not happen to anyone.
Like the other reviews have said, lots of stairs and very run down. When we arrived, the ground floor patio door didn’t lock. They got it fixed the next day so nothing serious. There is no in room safe. We also had the room with the kitchenette, but disappointed to find it came with only a few plates and some random cutlery. We had to purchase everything from spatulas and cutting boards and knives, dish soap, tea towels, etc.
the steps down to the pool are a bit sketchy, there are two that wobble, so going down with a cool can be dangerous if your not careful. The steps down to beach are a bit overgrown, so going down with a cooler is a bit of a squeeze at a few points. The stairs are a bit of a chore, but we just told ourselves “we needed the exercise”.
The beach is very nice, and mostly quiet, but we did have some tour boats pull up a couple days an unload tourists for a few hours. We snorkelled around the cove to the next beech, but judging from all the tp in the bushes behind the beach that beach is just used as a bathroom stop for tour boats so suggest sticking to the beach area in front of fandango.
Overall the view is awesome, location is great, and very quiet, except for the noise down at the cruise port ( which can really carry)
We would stay here again, though not in the kitchenette. With having to buy everything, would have been cheaper to eat out for the few meals we ended up cooking.
La habitación estaba lista cuando llegamos, el personal que nos atendió muy amable, el recepcionista(hombre) muy amable,la vista al mar hermosa, cuenta con puerta de mosquitero aparte de la de vidrio, limpieza diaria a la habitación, toallas limpias diario, alberca limpia y la playa privada muy bonita.
A mejorar:
El personal femenino podría ser un poco más agradable.
El agua de la alberca se pasa de cloro.
Las pueras del balcón y mosquitero, requieren un arreglo.
En general muy muy bien, regresaría y lo recomendaría ☺️
La habitación tiene una vista espectacular al puerto.
Cuenta con todos los servicios estacionamiento, alberca, acceso a playa y restaurante.
Es Pet Friendly con costo extra.
Céntrico.
