Secrets Huatulco Resort & Spa

The Resort & Its Setting

Secrets Huatulco Resort & Spa is a vacation ownership property in Huatulco, Oaxaca, run independently rather than as part of a large international chain. That independence gives it a smaller-scale, more personal feel than the big resort corridors further north in Mexico. Because it's RCI-affiliated, owners here can also use their week to exchange into other resorts within the RCI network, while exchange members from elsewhere can book into Huatulco through the same system.

Huatulco itself sits on a stretch of Pacific coast made up of nine bays and dozens of coves, much of it protected within a national park, which has kept the area free from the heavy development seen in some other Mexican beach destinations. The resort's location puts owners and renters within reach of this coastline without being in the middle of a built-up tourist strip.

The Area & Things to Do

Huatulco's main draw is its beaches — sheltered, clear-watered coves good for swimming and snorkelling, with enough variety that it's easy to find a quieter spot away from the crowds. Huatulco National Park, just a few kilometres from town, adds hiking trails, mangroves and more beach access for anyone wanting to get further off the beaten track. Boat trips out of the bays are a popular way to see the coastline and spot marine life.

Inland, and culturally, this is Oaxaca state, known across Mexico for its indigenous traditions, textiles, pottery and food — think mole, tlayudas and mezcal rather than generic resort menus. Huatulco's own town centre has markets selling regional crafts, and the fishing village of Puerto Ángel, a short drive south, offers a more bohemian, low-key alternative for an afternoon out. Oaxaca City, the state capital, is a longer trip but a worthwhile one for anyone interested in colonial architecture and museums.

Selling or Renting a Week Here

If you own a week at Secrets Huatulco Resort & Spa and want to sell or rent it out, you can list it directly on BidMyTimeshare.com. It's an owner-to-owner marketplace: you set your own asking price, buyers or renters contact you through the platform, and we charge a one-time listing fee rather than taking a commission on the sale.

Because this is an independent resort, resale transfers go through the resort's own owners' association or on-site management rather than a branded resale desk. Before agreeing on a price with a buyer, it's worth confirming directly with the resort: the current transfer fee, whether the association holds a right of first refusal on resales, how long a transfer typically takes to process, and the current annual maintenance fee. These details vary by resort and aren't published figures, so get them in writing before you close a deal.

A resale buyer takes on the deeded or contracted week itself along with ongoing annual fees, but typically does not inherit any loyalty points, credits, or promotional perks tied to the original owner's account — RCI exchange access depends on the resort's affiliation status at the time of transfer, so it's worth checking this is still in place. Renters, for their part, are usually most interested in the travel dates, unit size, and proximity to the beach — be ready to answer those questions clearly in your listing.

Practical Notes

Huatulco has a tropical climate, with a rainy season from roughly May to October and a drier season from November to April that's generally considered better for beach time. The nearest airport is Huatulco International (HUX), served by direct flights from several Mexican cities and some US routes, with the resort around 20–30 minutes away by road. The town has pharmacies, banks, clinics and other everyday services, so both owners visiting their week and renters staying there have what they need close by.
