Today, although many luxury resorts have been developed along these magnificent bays, little has changed, and this is the appeal of Huatulco. In recognition of the ecological importance of this region, it has been designated a National Wildlife Preserve, and all development has been planned and carried out with the preservation of the territory in mind. In fact, several of the bays are still completely undeveloped today and can only be accessed by boat.

With its turrets, chainmail, swords and torch-shaped lights, Camelot seemed out of place in the Bays of Huatulco, a tourist region on Mexico's southern Pacific coast in the state of Oaxaca. It was obviously someone's quirky dream. But then I realized that the bar was a perfect example of what's so charming about the area: It is filled with simple delights.

From its sparkling bays and sugar-cookie-colored beaches to the rock formations that rise up from the bottom of the ocean, Huatulco is vastly different from the crowded stretches of sand common along the Yucatán Peninsula.

The region, which stretches along 25 miles of coastline, once was home to just a small fishing village. Developed for tourism in the 1980s by Fonatur, the government's tourism arm, it has managed to avoid the mega resorts and restaurant chains that frequently mark such destinations.
