Very true... though I know someone who just went and they didn't mention any notable damage.. Maybe due to the geography?
Interesting but vague article on the matter. It claims that Huatulco actually suffered a 51% drop in tourist numbers, which is pretty drastic. Then again, I just saw a pic of someone lounging around down there today and they looked pretty unshaken.

... tepozlan looks interesting but seems 1-2 days is sufficient there.
If avoiding throngs of tourists is what your intention is, you might want to reconsider visiting Tepoztlán (as in not going there).
Cuetzalan in the state of Puebla might satisfy you. Seems to have (most) all you've said you look for.

Another option: base yourselves in Xalapa (Veracruz) with side trips to the port of Veracruz, Cordoba, and Orizaba.
