A New Kind of Huatulco Real Estate: ALMA Residences
Green and natural Huatulco demands a different kind of development: ALMA Huatulco.
Not all Mexican beach resort areas are created the same, even the ones planned out and implemented by the Mexican government. Wildly successful Cancun went all the way on the mass tourism route.

Then if you get in a boat you can land in places that are even quieter. Full Article
