In Puerto Escondido, the definition of a resort is a little different. All lnclusive resorts don’t exist here and our idea of a resort is a private getawat with staff that includes a private chef and car. It’s located 60 miles north of Huatulco and 220 miles south of Acapulco on the Ocean of the Pacific Coast of Mexico in the state of Oaxaca.
