Yes. The cost of taking a taxi from within the HUX airport property is about twice as much as taking a taxi that waits at the Sitio right outside the airport - at the Pemex across the street from the exit (about a 5 minute walk). Taxis within the airport property are usually newer vehicles with air conditioning. 

Taxis are plentiful and relatively inexpensive in Huatulco; there is no Uber. Taxi fares within Huatulco are pre-set, and posted at taxi stands (called a ‘Sitio’), and hotels. Your fare will be charged in Pesos, you must pay with cash. The only exception to this is pre-paying your taxi fare at the taxi stand inside the airport property.

Taxis from the condo to Santa Cruz or La Crucecita are $100 Pesos.  The local taxi driver (Feilx) can be reached on WhatsApp +52 958 119 3910.  If Felix is not available, taxis can be easily requested from the Casa Bocana hotel 24 hours a day.  

Tip:  Whenever taking a taxi, ask for a business card or What's App contact from the driver.  Most are happy to oblige and quick to respond when they are working.  

Chedraui & Soriana are the two ‘Walmart-like’ grocery stores in town. They are both $100 peso taxi rides from the condo, each way. You can get anything you need here, including a wide selection of food, wine and beer, and all your grocery and pharmacy. As you would expect at a store like this, you’ll also find beach/pool toys, clothes, games, electronics and everything in between.

There are also lots of other great shops in the middle of La Crucecita:

Produce: A few blocks from the main square in Crucicita, you will find FRUVER, has consistently large selection of decent produce. There are several local stores around that are also great. Fruver is a great starting point. 

Meat (Carne): Also a few blocks from the main square in Crucicita, you will find Papaloapan, a fantastic butcher shop that will cut-to-order, has the best bacon in town, and all around great quality meat. Try the pre-marinated arrechera steak (usually found in the freezer) 

Fish (Pesca): Again, a few blocks from the main square in Crucicita (closer to Fruver), you will find a number of roadside vendors selling fish and seafood from their coolers. Just be sure to look for well-chilled product. 

Yes, you will need cash (pesos) for many items.  Credit cards are accepted at many places, but not everywhere. 

Bank machines are located in many areas - Chedraui (grocery store) has about 5-6 different bank machines from Scotia Bank, HSBC, Santander, and a variety of others. The closest ATM to the condo is in Tangolunda at the Barcelo Hotel gates, as well as in the adjacent plazas. 

HSBC & Scotia Bank have local branches.
