Unique Mexico All Inclusive Vacations in Huatulco

Huatulco is the largest ecological reserve designated by the Mexican government, making it a truly a unique tourist destination, combining a modern resort infrastructure within a largely undeveloped natural area.

The Bahias de Huatulco offer 18 miles of clean and beautiful coastline, allowing you to enjoy a day at one of the dozen relaxing, non-crowded beaches in almost guaranteed perfect weather. For your more active side, Huatulco invites visitors to enjoy an exhilarating round of golf or an invigorating tennis match. Take advantage of Huatulco's clear waters by snorkeling, fishing, swimming, sailing, or scuba diving. Travel Mexico and stay at the Huatulco Mexico Barceló beach resort to discover the hidden treasures of this unspoiled land while delighting in the benefits of affordable Mexico all inclusive vacations.

Relax during your vacation in Huatulco, whether it is a day at the beach or a shopping extravaganza, Huatulco has it all!

Shopping

The indigenous folk art of Huatulco has found its place in galleries, museums and gift shops around the world. From unique black and green pottery, to whimsical carved wooden animals, to boldly colored wooden rugs, there's always something to catch your eye.

Golf

Be sure to enjoy the beautiful Tangolunda Golf Course, an 18 hole (par 72) championship course designed by Mario Schjetnan, which is beautifully blended into the surrounding jungle course features a spectacular waterfront green on the 13th hole.

Club de Golf Vista offers a 9 hole course, but be sure to arrange transportaions as it is more challenging to find it than to play it.

Sailing

Harness the wind and sail the sea on the 44-foot sailboat, Luna Azul. It's a one of a kind sailing experience found in Huatulco, where you can let soft breezes take you away. What better way to enjoy a peaceful ocean sunset than on a relaxing sunset cruise, while enjoying a glass of wine and bit of cheese.

Cultural Walking Tours

Huatulco is easily explored on foot, and cultural walking tours provide a great introduction to the city. The colonial heart of the city is immaculate and clean, and a guided tour will walk you through this exciting historical area, explaining the significance of various sites.

Beaches

The coast of Huatulco, at least for now, has remained one of Mexico's relatively undiscovered beach areas. This incredible location offers some of the most beautiful bays and beaches in the country. The Huatulco coast used to be one of the sea turtle's worst enemies, lately it has become a savior of this endangered species. This is now one of the few remaining places in Mexico that you can see these beautiful creatures on a regular basis, in any numbers.

Do you know anything about Wade Pottery?

I have a Pipe Stand with a Scottie Dog on it, the dog is tan coloured and the stand is green, can you give me any information on it - year/worth etc. Thank you.

Originally, the Wade family and friends ran a number of potteries (including George Wade & Sons Ltd which began in 1810) in a number of towns. Over time these potteries amalgamated and in the 1950s a public company 'Wade Potteries Limited' was formed.

Pictured right are Lady and Tramp from the Disney Hatbox series.

In 1989 Wade Potteries PLC was renamed Wade Ceramics Limited (after being acquired by Beauford PLC). In 1999 a management buy took place, which has seen a push towards retailers with less commissions.

Wade have produced a wide variety of different collectables ranging from Piggy Banks for National Westminster Bank, a series of monk figurines for KP crisps, to entire ranges of animals, birds, dinosaurs, nursery rhyme characters, to jugs for distilleries, and Disney characters.

In 1994 the Official International Wade Collectors Club was founded. Its aims are to support collectors of Wade, by offering information and help.

Members also receive the quarterly club magazine Wade's World, an exclusive members piece, the chance to purchase other members only pieces throughout the year. For 200 the membership gift is Laughing Felix the Cat and the Members only Whimsies set is entitled Under the Sea Whimsies. There are 12 in the series and these are released throughout the year
