We visited here twice on our trip to Huatulco. Unfortunately the owner is not trustworthy. I…read morerecommend checking *every price* when you check out. Ask for an itemized receipt. (They cut off the price tags when you buy.) Make sure everything adds up. We got overcharged $1400 pesos.
Here's our story: We were told that because it was the 'slow season', that we would pay only 1/3rd of the marked price on any items. (The sticker prices are ridiculously high, so they can give big discounts.) The first time we bought three items, and the owner honored the discounted prices. The second time we returned, after confirming that everything was still 1/3rd of the marked price, we chose another five items. After the owner gave us a shot of mezcal, when everything was done, the prices mysteriously jumped at checkout. The owner tapped on his calculator, and flashed some numbers at me. Expecting that everything would just be 1/3rd as promised, and (foolishly) trusting him, I didn't double-check until we got back to the hotel. The owner had added almost $1400 pesos to the total! I went back and confronted him, and he pulled out every excuse in the book. Eventually he agreed to square us up, but even then he refunded in USD and the refund didn't quite match, and he still over-charged on other items. Overall, happy with the product, but super-disappointed with the unethical salesmanship.
