Pros

  • Oaxaca City is amazing, there's so much to see and do all around there, and then a road trip to Puerto Escondido with stops along the way would make an amazing trip.
  • I really like Puerto Escondido and the Playa Mazunte area. Puerto is a big surf destination but has a nice beach / surf vibe with international and local tourists - not just gringo surfers.
  • Huatulco and the surrounding coast is less touristy than Yucatan (but there are still lots of tourists). I personally think the food is better. We had enough to do in Huatulco for a week - you could also stay on Puerto Escondido or anoth...
  • i find puerto escondido and the beaches on that coast far more relaxing
  • Check out puerto Escondido and nearby Chacahua

Cons

  • Puerto or south of there (Playa Mazunte or such) is much less touristy than the Yucatán but doesn't have ruins or good snorkeling.

Huatulco and the surrounding coast is less touristy than Yucatan (but there are still lots of tourists). I personally think the food is better. We had enough to do in Huatulco for a week - you could also stay on Puerto Escondido or another town. Much more local feel.
