Our stay with Brooke and Rick at Agua Azul was wonderful and peaceful. They are very accommodating and gracious hosts. Fresh fruit and fresh baked goods were yummy and healthy by our standards. We had great conversations with them and other guests which led to enlightening information about the area and Mexican life. Everything was upscale and it showed that Brooke and Rick put their heart and soul into making the experience wonderful for their guests.

My husband and I recently stayed at Agua Azul for 2 nights while visiting Huatulco. We have nothing but positive comments to make about our short, but enjoyable visit. Brooke and Rick were friendly and hospitable. Their home was relaxing and upscale with clean, private rooms, lovely gardens and views to the ocean. We especially enjoyed watching the sun rise each morning. We have and will recommend this bed and breakfast to our family and friends.

Huatulco was a quick stop for us on our way to Puerto Escondido from Mexico City. We truly enjoyed our 2 days at Agua Azul la Villa and the company of Rick, Brooke and Tango. Brooke kindly took us with her to a couple of beaches to give Tango a swim. The beaches were pristine, water was clean and refreshing and very few other people around. We found the B&B to be very clean and comfortable and the breakfast of fruit plate & pastries was a pleasant way to start the day. We enjoyed a couple of excellent meals in town as a result of suggestions by our hosts. We have travelled extensively throughout Mexico over the last 10 years and found this B&B to rate with the best.

All of the "very good" and "excellent" reviews had to be written by the owners themselves.

In our month long vacation around Mexico, we stayed in lovely B&Bs in Mexico City and Guanajuato and Oaxaca. Rick and Brooke's place was one of about 5 during our visit. I read about how the hosts opt to sit with guests during breakfast, and I also was aware that breakfast did not vary - but I guess I had to see it to truly believe it. Every other place in Mexico offered something hot for breakfast - enchilladas, eggs, etc. I thought surely when staying at Agua Azul for 5 NIGHTS that Brooke and Rick would offer something different at some point. I also thought that Rick and Brooke had enough social grace to TAKE A HINT and realize that paying guests do not want to have their vacations disrupted with inane conversations about American politics and what they feel is wrong with Mexican society. Not only was this inappropriate, but their opinions are based on completely inaccurate rhetoric. Surely, I assumed, bed and breakfast owners have enough sense to read the social cues their guests were giving off that they wanted to be alone and enjoy each other's company.

I also agree wholeheartedly with previous reviewer's complaints that the "quick" walk to the beach was not safe nor quick, despite being young and exceptionally fit as well as the other remarks that it could have been made clearer that we would have to arrange for a taxi to do ANYTHING and EVERYTHING, save for having the same boring fruits and fattening granola every day.

Lastly, when it was time to move elsewhere in Oaxaca, Brooke told me that she ASSUMED I wanted to use the same credit card I reserved the room with two months prior. I did not plan to pay with the same card, but Brooke informed me that Rick had ALREADY CHARGED my credit card and she DID NOT KNOW HOW TO USE THE MACHINE. How can a two-person run establishment have one person who does not know how to do credit card transactions? This was frustrating, annoying, and yet not surprising after seeing the dynamic between Rick and Brooke.

This couple should not be in charge of anything, especially what needs to be a people-oriented B&B.
