He told me one day he was talking to an American about places to go in Mexico and he mentioned Huatulco. After the conversation and after the American left he was approached by a lady from Huatulco who politely, but sternly, suggested in the future he suggest Cancun to any gringos asking.

Here's a tidbit from Wiki on the town and area-

Quote:

In 1984, FONATUR (Fondo Nacional de Turismo), a government agency dedicated to the development of tourism in Mexico, acquired 21,000 hectares of land to develop a tourism center, similar to that in Cancun. The existing population was relocated to Santa María Huatulco. The plan resulted in the improvement of roadways and other infrastructure. It also had populated areas interspersed with "green zones" to make the area more ecologically-minded. In fact, this is one of the cleanest developments in Mexico.

In addition to the beaches, one can explore and shop in the small communities of Huatulco, such as Santa Cruz, La Crucecita, or old Santa María Huatulco (the municipal seat). When doing so, one can travel between the communities by bus or taxi. The entire area has a "small town" feel about it and is rarely crowded with tourists with the exception of the Christmas and Semana Santa holiday periods.
Huatulco's Cacaluta Bay.

About 80% of all tourism in Huatulco is domestic in nature. Only about 20% of Huatulco's tourism is foreign, mainly because international air access is limited. Huatulco has a small international airport just 20 minutes from the main resorts in Tangolunda Bay. The peak season for foreign tourism is typically from December to April.

I guess "the existing population" wasn't thrilled to be relocated to Santa María Huatulco. "Hey, you know that beautiful beach you and your family have been living on for the last hundred or so years? Well we're going to build a resort there that you can only dream of staying at- hey! if you're nice we'll let you work there. We have a nice shack, err I mean house, yeah house that's what I mean. A really nice house several miles inland for you to live in."

Don't think that idea sold well. But I hear it's really nice area and the hotels are reasonable. Only real draw back is getting there, the airport is small and costly due to fee etc... It's easy and cheap to get to Oaxaca but from there it's a six hour bus ride.

Still going to go there someday.

Ok, you're up Mr. Phil.

Yeah, I'll blame it all on my neighbor "Gonzo."

Progreso, where I live, is kind of like the anti-Cancun too. But a couple days a week it's more Cancun then I'd like. The cruise ships arrive and the place fills with tourists. Most tourists leave their common sense at home, IMHO. I've had people on the beach ask me questions like "how you get those two big dogs on the ship?" or "how'd you get your truck down here?" At first I started answering with "you should see the size of my luggage" or "there's a time/space portal at the boarder, you just pull your vehicle in and they flip a switch and it instantly transports you anywhere in Mexico you want." After getting the reaction of "really?" several times I now plan my week around not being in town when the ship are.

What can I say I'm clueless sometimes. I didn't see it and didn't get it. Just assumed you hit it twice or something.
