The Coast of Oaxaca has virgin beaches and tropical vegetation

NATURALEZA

The Hotel is an integral part of the rugged cliffs and dense tropical vegetation, of Oaxaca's Pacific coast and La Boquilla Bay, and with this comes the responsibility of preserving it.

Being a part of this region and on behalf of its wonders, Hotel Bahía de La Luna is committed to an efficient use of precious water and sensible use of electricity . We use sea breezes and ceiling fans instead of air conditioning and swim in the calm ocean itself instead of a chlorinated pool.

We also are hands-on protecting, maintaining and enhancing the land and its fauna and flora. In turtle season we protect these animals and their eggs. There are a vast number of bird species, dolphins, deer, fish and other animals that are also part of La Boquilla.

We contribute to the community's activities and their lives. We consume the regions products and give work to local Arroyo Cruz families.

HOTEL’S CHARACTERISTICS

Our 12 cabañas have running water, ecological sound drainage with no hot water installation or air conditioning. Just the breeze of the sea, ceiling fans screened windows.

We don't believe in chlorinated pools or any facility that damages the land.
