Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.
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.
