I am jealous. I am Mexican and I am trapped in Pennsylvania for 33 years. And you are enjoying the cool town of Huatulco, Oaxaca Mexico, in those beautiful beaches and delicious food. I wish I could be there. Congratulations! I am waiting for my turn,
And you know what you are missing Ismael! It truly is a wonderful place in a beautiful country. Hopefully you will be able to return home soon and enjoy the fabulous life that Mexico offers.
Awesome video. I will be following you for at least the rest of this trip as Huatulco is on the top of my list so far to retire. I prefer heat over cool/cold. ☺♥
Gina, I loved your reaction to the Plumeria blossom. yes, it is perfume and every time I see them, I am reminded of my first trip to Hawaii when I discovered them. so grateful that I could still smell back then. .. Anyways You are both brave to visit La Crucecita Huatulco in the Warmer season... I understand why it might be important to do this as if you were to make it your permanent home you need that "worst case scenario" However after watching Cindy and Fred for years, I have decided to make sure I go during the coolest season... which is still going to be WARM but perhaps lower Humidity. Love your videos!! That Mexcal drink looked amazing! anyways... YEAH... Lovely video!
Thanks Diana. Our thought process is that if we love it at it's worst, then we are great in the good season. Only by experiencing it will we ever really know. We thought it was hot on the other coast, but so far, this is the warmest location. There are so many positives here in Huatulco though.
Just visited Huatulco last month. It’s been a favorite destination spot for the past 20 years. Bought many alebrijes in “ Artes Pacheco “ on Flamboyant st. Literally the best in all Huatulco 😊
We liked it a lot as well. It was a little humid while we were there, but we wanted to be there when it was at its worst and we got to experience that. But the vibe in the city is fantastic.
Thank you Jana. We try to share each location with all of you in a fair and honest light. There are always warts in any location and there are also those magical places. Everything needs to be shown so that if someone wanted to truly assess the town, they at least have a solid starting spot.
I'm hoping y'all will be posting more videos in the Huatulco area. I'm planning to move there after I retire. It's always good to get other folks perspective on places. Any info is appreciated about this wonderful paradise! Gracias Gringos, Jefferino
We have about 4 more that we are going to be doing regarding Huatulco if my memory is correct. It is a fabulous little place for sure. Glad that you enjoyed it.
We always stopped at Xipol for wings and frozen strawberry margies when we ran into La Crucecita for groceries.... We had our RV 45 minutes away in a very rural area on one of the bays, Bahia de San Agustin.
Check out Tacos El Chino in U2, and another favorite of ours Camprestre San Jacinto in Colonia Vicente Guerrero. We have been living here 4 years. Shade and breeze are your best friends 😊
I’m so grateful that RUclips analytics made your channel pop up. Just watched this video and I’m liking and subscribing. I’m in the process of researching Mexico as a spot to spend part of my retirement years. I like the vibe of your channel and your useful information. Muchas gracias mi amigos👏🏻👍🏻🤙🏻✌🏻
Thank you very much. The family here on GringosRUs is fantastic in helping each other make the best lives here in Mexico. Don't hesitate to reach out with questions and if we don't have an answer, I would bet that one of our subscribers very well might. So happy that you found us and welcome to the family!
@@GringosRUs thank you so much my friends. I’ve booked my flight for January and I couldn’t be more excited. I look forward to catching up with your travels.👏🏻👍🏻✌🏻🤙🏻
It truly is a gorgeous town Lora. We can see why it is so popular. Quaint and charming along with that very laid back feel. Lots to like here in Huatulco. Thanks.
It's like in the 90s all year around in Huatulco...just more humid in the summer. It's hotter there than say Ixtapa/Zhia too... Go a few states north and it's cooler.
The humidity is above 63% year-round! 65% and up is considered very uncomfortable. The June - November months average in the 80s. That is just... unreal.
@@bellonamars2541 Thanks for that valuable data. LOL, the skin test was telling us that it was hot and humid. We love everything else about this lovely coastal town.
@@whatevergoaway We found it to be. The temperatures were very similar, but the humidity was brutal in Huatulco. That could have been a seasonal thing when we were there, but boy was it hot!
When we were in Morelia, there was cucumber in our limonada also, yummy! Nice that you found the plumeria, they are so beautiful, and you found jasmine too, how lucky. I keep hearing bad things about Google maps in Mexico, such a shame that you were walking so far. So far Huatulco looks really nice, looking forward to more videos!
Did you find Waldo? lol I understand what you are saying about French fries - I have found that the people in Mexico seem to like their fries "undercooked" or at least undercooked to US standards - its really hard to find crispy fries! I really like the purple streak in your hair! I'm voting for Mark to get a matching purple streak in his beard. Enjoy! Looking forward to your next video!
The things that we do to get a nice view for all of you. LOL That was the only one that we did outside, Kelly. Just for that very reason. Thanks for the kind words.
I don’t recall seeing in any of your videos what type of visa you’re using while you travel. Are you simply using the six month tourist visa? How are you planning to transition when you decide you’re going to move there? Apply for the temporary resident?
We have our temporary residency cards and are good through 2026. We will the get our permanent status. We did 50 videos before we left the US documenting the steps that we took getting ready to move here to Mexico. Thanks for watching Sammy.
@@GringosRUs Hola Mark y Gina! Remember that it is illegal to smoke in public places in Mexico. It's a relatively new law so I'm not sure on how strictly it will be enforced. BTW- I've stayed at a few of the smaller hotels in Las Crucecita when I come down there to surf some of the places on the way South towards Salina Cruz and it's always been steaming hot. I've also surfed in my birthday suit while visiting in Playa Zipolite that's just South of there. It's close to another small beach town called Mazunte that are both great little beaches to visit and you can always smell smoke in the air but it's not from cigars or cigarettes! If you two ever decide to make it to Ensenada look me up and I'll show you around town and treat you to lunch at the World famous La Guerrerense seafood stand that Anthony Bourdain claimed as being the best in the World!. Its 74 as I type this and it has only gotten up into the 80's a few times so far this year. It usually warms up here in late summer and the forecast says it will be up into the 90's next week. We'll see...Being a Weatherman or Weatherwoman is a great gig, you can always be wrong and still get paid! Mucha suerte desde la hermosa Ensenada!
@@Deltron6060 I don't think that it immediately does cross it off the list, but when decision time comes, it will be a factor to consider. Huatulco has so many positive things going for it though.
There are places to rent that are reasonable. Watch Life in Huatulco. They are always showing places for rent here. It can be expensive depending upon what your needs or wants are Bill. We have seen some homes that are just amazing, but then the price to go with them would equal that amazement. LOL
I was looking last night on Inmuebles24 and the first thing I noticed was a LACK of listed properties (which are probably being listed by US and Canadian realtor companies). What I did find was a very modest place without a view for $250,000 USD. There were some very nice condo community apartments and casas with community pool and maybe a sea view starting at $500,000 and up from there. I didn't see any single family home on private property with beach/sea view listed, but you can expect prices into $1 million USD. There is a LOT of construction in the area too. ~Gina
We were there in January and the weather was perfect. We didn't love that it was filled with so many Canadians that we almost couldn't tell it was Mexico. We highly recommend getting a day pass to Secrets!
Yes, we have been told that there is a huge difference in the temperature and the vibe during the winter months. Not sure if we are going to have time to do the Secrets as we are now in the last week of our stay here. Lots to do and time is getting short here. Thanks
Thank you for sharing, you two are having a blast good for you. ❤
Yes we are! It is the only way that we could think to figure out where we wanted to live here in Mexico Mia.
I am jealous. I am Mexican and I am trapped in Pennsylvania for 33 years. And you are enjoying the cool town of Huatulco, Oaxaca Mexico, in those beautiful beaches and delicious food. I wish I could be there. Congratulations! I am waiting for my turn,

One never knows what you may find there. Good prices and interesting inventory. We will be back for sure.
I’m so excited to hear your perception of Huatulco!
Just the facts ma'am. LOL
An excellent fair and honest representation of my experience there.
Thanks Winston. We just try to give all of you a true image of what it is like.
Just visited Huatulco last month. It’s been a favorite destination spot for the past 20 years.

Thank you Darla. Hopefully we can check those recommendations out.
A very nice update.. I was waiting for Gina to share the old line. "I'm Melllllttttiiiinnnngggg"""". Cheers, Mate.

i stayed at the holiday inn for a week last april and loved every day of it
That is a great area right there Charlie. Lots of tiendas and restaurants. We enjoyed that beach area as well.
BTW, get a sandia agua fresca.... A specialty in that area and my favorite!
We will check that out. Thanks
Hi guys! Great video as usual! Take care
Thank you Mike. Glad that you liked it.
🎉 ENJOY all your videos keep them coming 🎉
Thank you Patsy. We definitely will keep them rolling out.

We are looking forward to Oaxaca Juarez and hopefully we will get a break from the heat.
Yikes, it’s hotter than Mėrida! 😮 Very pretty.
It is beautiful here Denise. But yes, it is hot. The sweat pumps work on overdrive here.
The humidity is above 63% year-round! 65% and up is considered very uncomfortable. The June - November months average in the 80s. That is just... unreal.
@@bellonamars2541 Thanks for that valuable data. LOL, the skin test was telling us that it was hot and humid. We love everything else about this lovely coastal town.
I can't believe it is hotter or more humid than Merida
@@whatevergoaway We found it to be. The temperatures were very similar, but the humidity was brutal in Huatulco. That could have been a seasonal thing when we were there, but boy was it hot!
Looks really nice despite the heat. Love the laid back vibe
It is all of that Lisa. Very laid back and comfortable. Now if we could just adjust that big thermostat down a little. LOL
Nice video. Looks much the same as when we were there a couple years ago. -Marc
This place is very nice. We really could see us spending time here. Especially in the winter. LOL
Thanks for the video. Curious about Huatulco also
It is a wonderful place. Lots of great things here other than the heat. LOL

Yeah, Google maps has sent us on Goose chases before, so we know it is a crap shoot. Thanks Cindy.
that coconut drink looks amazing .
She said that it was very, very good. Good thing that we were walking home though. LOL
Huatulco suits you both, just sitting on that balcony looks right! Enjoy
There is a lot about Huatulco that suits us. If only it wasn't so hot and humid.
I enjoyed this video very much! You guys are funny in so many ways! Have fun!☀️☀️☀️
Glad that you liked it Wilfredo. We just try to be ourselves. It would never work any other way. LOL

Thanks Frederick. Yeah the fries are different, but those were done perfectly.
And I wouldn't hold my breath on any different colors in the beard. Enough different colors already. LOL
Maybe your next video inside your place with the air on? Thanks guys for the great video.
The things that we do to get a nice view for all of you. LOL That was the only one that we did outside, Kelly. Just for that very reason. Thanks for the kind words.
Go to El Patio for pancakes! So good !!
We will see if we can get over there. Thanks for the recommendation Donna.
8:47 Plumeria trees (like in Hawaii) They are all over Mexico.
Thanks. That was actually discussed at dinner and no one had that answer.
Mark: They didn't have any cucumber in your refresco, because your refresco was beer!!!! LOL
But it was refreshing. LOL
super¡¡¡¡
Thank you Omar. See you soon.

Go to La Crema for a baked potato and pizza !
Thanks again Donna.
It's not just Mexico...
30-40% send back rate on a Rare ordered Steak here in the US...😉🤠✌️.
That is just horrible. It isn't that hard to push on the steak and know that it is time. Works every time. Thanks Tony!
hola Mark. Te recuerdo que en México se pueden conseguir cigarros y puros cubanos.....😋😋😋😋🚬
Gracias, pero no soy fanático de los puros cubanos. Son caros, incluso aquí en México, y normalmente son un poco duros para mi gusto.

Wow - the heat index is high!
It looks like you're still having a good time.
@@prodesigninc We are definitely enjoying ourselves, but damn, it is HOT! Other than that, this would be a serious contender.
