We stayed at the Posada Chahue from June 18-25. We arrived well before check-in and were brought to our room immediately. We had requested a non-smoking room; they are on the first floor. Unfortunately, none of the first floor rooms have any kind of windows so we requested to be moved to an upper level floor with a balcony. While they were getting a room ready for us, we ate lunch in the vegetarian restaurant -- we had a very good mushroom sandwich. Within 30 minutes our new room was ready on the second floor. It was a smoking room but after the second day, we couldn't smell the smoke anymore. The rooms are quite bright with lime green accents, ample closet space and dressers. The floors are all tile as is the shower. The shower looked very new. Water pressuire was good and we never ran out of hot water. Beds were a little firm but not as bad as some Mexican hotels and we never had a problem sleeping. There is a flat screen TV mounted on the wall, a mini-bar, and safe. There also is an iron and ironing board and hair dryer in the room. Although we didn't use them, there also were small bottles of shampoo, lotion, etc. Our balcony was quite large with a small table and two chairs and a built-in bench seat against one wall. The patio door also had a screen on it if you wanted to leave the door open without letting bugs in. The air conditioner worked fine the whole time (and it was very hot/humid while we were there). The Super Che Supermarket is right next to the hotel if you want to stock up on snacks. There is a pool with a couple of lounge chairs but it is pretty small, perfect for kids which was usually who we saw in it. The hotel advertises free wi-fi but for those without a computer, there is one in the lobby for a very minimal fee (20 minutes for 10 pesos). The staff was always very courteous and friendly and the place was immaculate.
We walked every day into town for both breakfast and dinner;, not because the we didn't like the food at the hotel but because we wanted a different dining experience every day. Breakfast in town was always very cheap
(40-50 pesos for a full breakfast). It was fun to watch the town come to life and little kids walking to school in the morning. Both Santa Cruz and La Crucecita are only a 15 minute walk away but cabs to either are cheap (20 pesos). Although this hotel is not on the beach, the beach club at Playa Chahue is within walking distance (15 minutes). There is a pool there along with lounge chairs and a restaurant. The beach club on the right as you face the ocean is the free one. We took a cab every day and went to a different beach. They all are wonderful and each has a different vibe. Snorkeling equipment is cheap to rent at the beach (50 pesos); you can also get a guide for about 100 pesos. San Agustine Beach was the furthest beach and most expensive (200 pesos each way) but well-worth the trip. You can also go by boat. I would go back to Huatulco just to go to that beach. Also, I would suggest getting to Playa Conejos before the new Secret Resort is finished. Right now you will be sitting on a practically deserted beach.
This hotel was the perfect spot for us to start each day's adventures, whether on foot or by cab. I would not hesitate to go back to Posada Chahue.
