As the first hotel to open when tourism launched in Huatulco in the 1980s, this all-inclusive has remodeled in recent years and created a modern concept while still staying a traditional hotel. The name of the hotel comes from a legion of the Zapotec or indigenous people of Mexico. “Binni” means people and “guenda” means palace. The Binni people were said to have come from the clouds like birds and built a Zapotec palace in just one night. So today, the Binniguenda All Inclusive is its own little palace for all of its guests, many of which have been repeat visitors for years.

Located closer to the city center, the beach is only a short walk away, but the outdoor pool surrounded by gardens and terraces gives guests a tropical vibe. Families will love the Kids’ Club and play area located directly next to the pool. Inside the white picket fence is a playground, kiddie pool and fun kid-size lounge chairs, tables and umbrellas. Adorable alert!

There are 77 guestrooms in this traditional hotel. Cribs, connecting rooms and a mini-fridge are available upon request. A nice touch for hotel guests is seeing their family name on the guestroom door.

Pool

The outdoor pool area is surrounded by gardens and lounge chairs and pergolas for shade. There are even loungers in a zero-entry portion of the pool! Terraces on multiple levels above the pool create excellent little nooks to allow guests to enjoy the pool without necessarily being in the heart of the pool area. Gardens and grassy areas also surround the pool so there's plenty of space to play. Pool towels are provided and there are restrooms situated just steps away from the pool.

Kids' Club and Playground Area

Located just off the main pool area, the supervised Kids' Club is open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. for ages 4 to 9. The kids will enjoy arts and crafts, games and more while attending the program, which is included in the all-inclusive rate. But what the kids may love even more is the kid-sized equipment that is found just outside the club. There is a playground area with swings, a slide, a tree house and sand. There is a small kiddie pool and lining the kiddie pool are a few mini-sized lounge chairs and umbrellas. These pint-sized chairs are ideal for little sunbathers!
