We are trying to figure out our trip next spring. We did read under several bus sites that an improved highway in 2012 would cut the trip from OAX to 4 hours. True? Would ADO bus be the recommended bus if you went 1st class? Gracias

The improved highway is still a very long way away
(hopefully in my lifetime)
It is a shame that it take's 6 or more hours to get the 98 miles as the crow flies
Many take the suburbans or vans quicker then buses
Also if you get car sick take draminne or something like it before you go

Hola.
We have taken the ADO Inter-city bus (air conditioned, reclining seats, movies in Spanish and a toilet!) to and fromOaxaca/Huatulco many times. The ADO bus station in Huatulco is just across the boulevard from La Crucecita and the ADO bus station in Oaxaca is near the Holiday Inn. The daytime trip takes about 8-9 hours including a 30-minute lunch break and the scenery is fantastic. The overnight trip is done in about 8 hours. For more information and reservations, see:http://www.adogl.com.mx/en/
Alternatively, we have also flown AeroTucan to and from Oaxaca/Huatulco and have always made our reservation either at their office on Blvd Chahue in Huatulco or in Oaxaca. It is a wonderful experience as they provide very small 12-15 seat single engine planes that literally skirt the tops of the Sierra Madres and provide us with great views. The ride takes about 30 minutes. For more information, see:http://www.aerotucan.com.mx
and to contact AeroTucan for reservations try:
Telephone: 01 (951) 502-0841
Email: vena_tucan@hotmail.com
Hope this helps. Your questions are always welcome.

Try the overnite ADO About 320 p each way. Take a few dramamine and relax. You arrive about 7 AM or so and are ready to go!!!!

Flying looks more tempting but more expensive. Is it any quicker/cheaper to go to Puerto E? My wife would not be "ready to go" after an all nite bus ride!!f

There is a van service to Huatulco from Oaxaca at about 150P per pax. Several vans a day. Think its about 6 hours. Presumably there is a similar service to PE. Suggest you make an inquiry on the Tomzap PE forum for times etc.
