Zihuatanejo hotellia

Plussat: fantastic gourmet breakfast..... different every day nice surprise

Miinukset: a little out of my reach financially but well worth the extra

Plussat: The staff are super nice and helpful. The only restaurant in the hotel is the best in Zihuatanejo. The food is soooooooo good!!!!! You can not miss it!!!!!

Plussat: The place was beautiful and we had a beautiful view. During the day or the evening - it was amazing. Our room was so spacious and the staff was very very attentive. To have such a great view meant it was a climb to the top or taxi rides. It just requires a little planning since the road and the town are not really accessible by foot. We highly recommend.

Plussat: Amazing View , Amazing Infinity Swimingpool!!!

Miinukset: Very very Bad Wifi

Plussat: The layout of the restaurant is beautiful with pretty pools and interesting decor. The view is stunning although the view from most hillside properties in Zihua have incredible views with the comforts of a hotel.

Miinukset: This place is a restaurant with four rooms for rent. The set up of tables, chairs etc. begins around 1:00 PM daily. The area around the pool is not available for lounging in the early evening/sunset. It is set for diners. We were not informed of this at any point during our stay. Our discomfort drove us to our room and three days short of our intended stay, to other accommodations! The room did not have the typical comforts of a hotel that charges the amount they do. The bed was uncomfortable. Even the slightest movement made the bed bounce and jiggle. There's no coffee or tea making facilities and no refrigerator.

Plussat: Absolutely stunning, exceeded ALL expectations. We slept with the a/c off at night and opened the 12 x8 sliding doors with screens that looked down on Zihuatanejo Bay listening to surf all night. Waking up to that view was priceless.

Miinukset: I felt like we were in a luxury private million dollar villa. Most days had the entire property and pool to ourselves. Max only 6 other guests. We stayed in the Roberta suite and enjoyed the large patio with amazing view .

Plussat: Beautiful property. Helpful staff. Very clean.

Plussat: Beautiful setting on the best beach in Zi.

Plussat: Room and staff were excellent, pools were nice and the beach and lounging area was more than we expected. We asked for a later check out and even though our room was booked they managed to extend our check out time. With out a doubt this was the nicest place to stay.

Miinukset: On the other hand drinks and food were very expensive. ( about $40.00 for a hamburger and $13.00 for a cocktail Cdn) There were no coffee machines in the room so if you like that morning Java, you will have to go find it or have room service bring it. I was told that they used to bring a pot of coffee to each room in the morning but new management cut that out. When you talk to the bar tenders and waiters they all tell you the biggest complaint they hear is food and drink prices as they have no customers.

Plussat: Great pools, but no loungers at pool. Also has no area around the pool if you want shade. They really need lounge chairs, like most other properties have.

Plussat: The large size of the property allows for a lot of privacy in the common areas, pools and beachfront.

Miinukset: The excessive pricing of the food and drink services chases guests to the significantly better values provided by alternatives in the area making restaurants at the hotel empty. Wine list way overpriced for selection offered.

Plussat: Fantastic location, beautiful views, very friendly staff, quiet and romantic place. Welcome drink with little tour. Great maintained property. Rooms very spacious, bed extremely comfy. If i go there again, i would def. pick up this hotel.

Miinukset: Food is a little overpriced. Restaurant staff needs more proper training in waiting tables. My husband reserved a romantic dinner on the beach, which was basically set up the table and chairs that was already there! Light some candles, and its ready. They charged us $25 for that! I found that distastful. Especially that they told us about that charge after he made that reservation. Like, it was so obvious they want to squeeze you for some extra bucks.

Plussat: Everything about this property was fantastic. The staff were exceptional. Better than any cruise ship we have been on. Despite the negative comments we will return.

Miinukset: Consumables were too expensive on this property. Our suite has a step in the middle of the room between the bed and the bathroom. Very dangerous for the middle of the night trip to the bathroom.

Plussat: The property is absolutely beautiful- it’s greenery around us just stunning Staff is friendly and willing to help If you need recommendation for dinner you must speak to Oscar at the front desk - he made reservation for my husband and I - and all the place he sent us was 5 start If you need fishing trip , snorkeling etc - you must speak to Ventura - it knowledgeable and a local If you stay at the adult pool staff is great about checking in on you for drinks or food

Miinukset: The wine list was a little off - they could do better in that area Dinner is selecting is the same that they use for lunch , that could do some updating on the menus

Plussat: Location !

Miinukset: pricey for drinks and food !

Plussat: The location and update of the property was perfect for Zihuatanejo. The updated hotel was very comfortable and clean. Our Lagoon Suite had an amazing view and very spacious terrace with a plunge pool. The bar area with swings and sitting areas was very inviting. Amazing sunset views from here too.

Miinukset: The staff was hit or miss, some very friendly and others rather dry. We were scammed by the activities people and charged $20 dollars extra for an activity (1/3 more than regular price). The food and drink is very expensive for what you get. Not comparable to dining options outside the hotel. A hamburger $30 after service fee! The black walls in the hotel rooms darken the rooms and give the impression that they were trying to go with a Vegas look, which in my opinion doesn’t work for a nice beach resort.

Plussat: Beautiful authentic Mexican property Pleasant staff, great location,very clean Loved the gardens!

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: The staff was so kind, and went beyond expectations to make our stay comfortable. The bed was amazing, and the architecture of the building was really neat. There was ac and a fridge in our room, and they provided a bottle of water complimentary each day.

Plussat: Everything

Plussat: La Villa Luz is a charming boutique hotel. The staff are very friendly and always available to ensure that your needs are being met. The breakfast, although simple, is adequate and served on a balcony with a stunning view of the ocean. This most certainly sets the tone for the day! The location of La Villa Luz is excellent as it is within a 100 meters of the taxi station and approximately 300 meters from the ocean. There are some lovely restaurants within walking distance. This is most definitely a hotel to return to.

Miinukset: There was a mix-up in the room we were given. The manager therefore reduced the cost of the room and has promised an excellent return rate for us.

Plussat: A very simple breakfast was served, juice, coffee, toast, yoghurt, all this is served up with an Amazing view! Very quiet area, 5 minutes to the beach, nice pool. We got to keep our room for a few extra hours due to our flight not leaving until 18.00 which was great!

Miinukset: I think that the towels in the bathroom where very small, maybe ok for a Child but not adults, abit old and faded as well.

Plussat: The cleanliness

Miinukset: There is active construction right next store - it was literally right outside my window. It was too bad; it really impacted our stay and I think the owner should inform guests that there is active construction so that guests can decide what to do. I only go on vacation once a year. The construction work was not acceptable. Additionally, the traffic right outside our "other" window was very loud; six wheel trucks were SO loud SO early.

Plussat: Quite a unique place. Really cute. Clean. Good location. Breakfast was fun because with only about 5 suites everyone gathered together at breakfast time and the conversation was lively. In the afternoon some met around the pool which was really nice too.

Miinukset: It was a bit too quiet for us however if you like quiet this would be a great place to stay. Breakfast was ok but if you wanted hot items you had to pay for them.

Plussat: The room was comfortable fresh fruit pastry coffee each day Plenty to enjoy in Zihuatanejo the weather was good but muggy , But really whats not to like

Miinukset: Only that the weather was muggt

Plussat: Great location, wonderful staff !!!

Plussat: This small hotel is great. Most of the rooms have a view of the ocean, but they are not on the same level (elevation), which is interesting. Breakfast was basic but very good, and served on a terrace that has the same view of the ocean. The pool is really very nice. The beach is less than a five minute walk from the bottom of the garden. And this is the best beach in the area. The waves are shielded by being in a cove. The staff are pleasant and helpful. We stayed in two different rooms during our stay. We liked both bathrooms - they were different from each other.

Miinukset: Everything was good.

Plussat: The views

Miinukset: Kitchen needed a few more amenities. Stairs, stairs and more stairs.

Plussat: Clean and as advertised. Better on price than most others for the room type. A 10-minute walk to the pier and most restaurants.

Miinukset: The 10-minute walk to the pier is tough on the way back up.

Plussat: i like the staff the place was very clean very good view of the sea

Miinukset: nothing everything was ok little far from dowtown

Plussat: Amazing view Wonderful staff. Unaldo was so helpful.

Miinukset: lots of steps No elevator

Plussat: Amazing view and wonderful staff

Plussat: The view was number one,,,,the bed was perfect.

Miinukset: no food,,,but didnt want to go out because it was such beautiul view,

Plussat: Absolutely amazing view! Very spacious suite, helpful staff and great location...especially for folks who enjoy open air and lots of exercise!

Miinukset: Lots of construction noise....but that wasn't the fault of the hotel.

Plussat: The view is the best at this hotel.

Miinukset: It is a little far to town and no food.

Plussat: The view from my room and balcony was amazing. Staff was friendly and helpful, the place is kept amazingly clean. Overall, this is a wonderful place to relax and enjoy your time in Zihuatanejo.

Miinukset: I didn’t realize how far of a hike it would be by foot to the downtown/beach area. Very steep uphill so be prepared for a workout coming home!

Plussat: We liked the view from the balcony

Miinukset: The location, while good for the views, is quite far from the two best beaches and is very difficult to get to by car and on foot with small kids.

Plussat: I really loved the view, the size and the amenities. It was only a short walk to town. This side of the bay seems more for local tourists, though there were some gringos around as well. A/C was cold, kitchen, living room, bathroom and bedroom all good!

Miinukset: The power went out on the whole side of the bay for about 6 hours, but we just asked for a candle and had a romantic time. We also went down to Casa Bahia just down the stairs and had a fantastic and romantic dinner at Roberto's restaurant.

Plussat: The view was insane and the price was great

Miinukset: dirty sheets, uncomfortable bed, gross bathtub

Plussat: Everything at Solana Boutique was great....the hospitality, the breakfast, the rooms and terraces, with fantastic views over the bay. The property was lovingly built and maintained, you could tell Sriram and Melissa took great pride in their place. Thanks again for a great stay.

Plussat: charming setting, quiet, peaceful & beautiful, the staff/owners were lovely & knowledgeable

Miinukset: can't thing of a thing

Plussat: Everything

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: -Beautiful location with stunning views -immaculate rooms & property -amazingly friendly & accommodating owners & staff -Nina's food & margaritas are the best in Zihua!!!

Miinukset: I was only unhappy about having to say "adios."

Plussat: Spacious room Pleasant staff

Miinukset: High incline to get into the property with no stairs just a steep driveway Response from owners when pointed this out was bizarre "You take a risk coming to Mexico"!!!!!

Plussat: It was clean, quiet, the staff were wonderful.

Miinukset: Lighting not optimum in the room. Though the beside lamps are cute, they don't lend themselves to do adequate reading.

Plussat: The owners could not have been more gracious. The facilities were first rate and immaculate. The staff very attentive and responsive to all our needs.

Plussat: Friendly, quiet, relaxing boutique hotel with only 7 rooms. Spectacular views from the suite & palapa deck; great food reasonably priced at the bar for lunches or light dinners. Good breakfast with coffee, fruit juices, muffins, cereals plus hot food daily which alternated between Mexican and North American fare. Fridge by the pool was always stocked with beer, wine, mineral water & sodas etc. -again at reasonable prices. Best margaritas at the bar -we tried a few places but none compared with Casa Solana! Our hosts and staff were warm & welcoming.

Miinukset: A taxi ride was necessary to get to and from town and the local beaches, as road was hilly and very dark with few lights at night. There is a local bus but not every one goes all the way up to the top of the hill. We were there two weeks so taking a taxi every time we went somewhere was a bit of an inconvenience and added expense.

Plussat: Everything

Miinukset: Was all good

Plussat: The whole experience from check in to breakfast was exceptional. This is a gem of a place and the owners are so attentive and personable, plus they are so knowledgeable about the surrounding area.

Miinukset: Nada.

Plussat: Location AND if you have children, this is the place to be. It’s a kids cruise on the beach. Repeat, it’s a kids cruise ship that is on the beach.

Miinukset: 1) paying $250 USD A NIGHT or a room that had cockroaches in the hot tube 2) waiting 2 hrs to get into our rooms after checking in after the check in time 3) being survived frozen bad food when you are literally on the water and can see fishing boats. The food was so bad we didn’t eat it, we sent it back and went into town for street tacos that were a lot cheaper and so much better 4) the paint job was not very good. We had primer all over our deck that we paid extra for.

Plussat: Accomodations, beach, view, buffet.

Miinukset: Noise, crowded pools, dinner only by reservation.

Plussat: Room and view

Plussat: Breakfast was good view was great! Beach was beautiful the pool was very nice.

Miinukset: The internet never worked in our room like they said our sheets were stained the shower sucked but it was useable.

Plussat: breakfast was ok

Miinukset: the distances from rooms to beach and swimming pools

Plussat: Private beach and different pools, the view from the rooms are gorgeous

Miinukset: A lot of people at the pool and overall in the hotel. Hotel need some renovations! Always a lot of queue at the reception, concierge ( lady) was not very helpful and not representative of a 5 starts hotel. Service in the mexican restaurant downstairs was not very good, I wanted a la carte breakfast and not buffet and they were Ll lost by that... it was my second time at las brisas, first time 4 years ago was nicer

Plussat: Nice beach. Good service

Miinukset: AC broken, no cold air, blew in cogarette smoke every day

Plussat: The Views. private and quiet. private beach. Restaurant was OK...

Miinukset: Very sprawling complex... lots of walking.... many many step/stairs. The TV did not work for two days.... the coffee pot did not work and was replaced by another broken one.... the Beach is very nice.... tough beach break for swimming.

Miinukset: The resort itself was just like we had always remembered. The room, the staff and the beach have always been remarkable. The privacy, security and seclusion have been what has made this particular getaway attractive to us. We brought my brother and his wife for their first trip to Las Brisas and sold them on those attributes. How disappointing to learn that management has opened the resort to local residents on the weekends who are not guests of the hotel in order to supplement resort income The beach and restaurants were to capacity making the resort amenities almost inaccessible to us. The privacy and seclusion we once revered is now gone at the expense of paying overnight guests. Had we known before arrival we would have booked elsewhere. What an extreme disservice to the loyal customer base that has patronized Las Brisas for almost twenty years. If we wanted long lines and wall to wall tourists we would have booked a cruise. It is my sincere hope that current management rethinks their "money grab" strategy and shifts focus back to what once made Las Brisas the jewel of the Pacific coast. Very very disappointing.

Plussat: Architecture retains its 1981 Ricardo Legorreta charm despite changes. The beach is one of the best in Mexico in terms of safety, waves, sand. Staff are great. Views are amazing and rooms are perfect.

Miinukset: We were there when occupancy was 88% (Mexican families) and it is a bit like being on a budget cruise (they were all on an all-inclusive plan): too crowded, so just check ahead and go when it's less crowded. The food is pretty average, but Zihuatanejo is a short ride away (El Faro on adjacent property has much better food than any of restaurants at Brisas).

Plussat: Nice ocean view, big and comfortable rooms with nice bathrooms, minibar in each room, good service.

Miinukset: Very old building, need repairs. Very crowded.

Plussat: Gorgeous location - beautiful views, excellent service and staff and pool.

Miinukset: The food selection is ok, could be better. Also we had a room on 19th floor, one floor above lobby and the loud music at night could easily be heard in our room - on 2 out of 5 nights, lasting after 10 pm.

Plussat: Room was excellent, location on the beach excellent,pools excellent, and staff excellent.

Plussat: The convenience of staying in a little apartment with own kitchen, living room, terrace and jacuzzi but still have hotel services.

Miinukset: In this area you can’t go in the sea as the waves are big and dangerous. The pool area doesn’t have enough umbrellas and beds.

Plussat: Carlos and staff went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed for a super relaxing getaway. Highly recommended, and we will be back. Muchas Gracias!

Plussat: Beach has one of the best sand quality and food was good.

Miinukset: Overall the resort was.excellent. But organized guest service was missing. My booking was not ready when i checked in and hot water was not available before I asked to fix the boiler. Each room is.owned by.different owner and has different features.

Plussat: This quiet, secluded property on a clean and undiscovered beach was beyond expectations. Although the website showed a “penthouse “ and we book a 2 bedroom villa, it did not disappoint in any way. Plunge pool on the deck, dining table al fresco, spacious interior, awesome beach and ocean views. The staff was all amazing, so friendly and helpful in every way. Great restaurants on site and others at properties just a 10-15 minute walk along the beach. You can walk this beach north or south for miles and barely see any other people. So close to the airport.

Miinukset: A couple of minor things — “full kitchen” didn’t include an oven! Also we had mouse droppings left on the deck every day in the same place!!

Plussat: Interior design was in great taste. Las Palmas was like a little community, everyone was so friendly. The pools, the oceans, and the breezes were amazing. The breakfast was good. We’re definitely coming back!

Plussat: Exceptional beach, quiet and gorgeous!

Miinukset: Cleaning staff needs to leave enough toiletries, clean a little deeper, leave enough toilet paper, but overall - great place!

Plussat: Pretty much everything.

Miinukset: I would put a little bit of effort on the food.

Plussat: The infinity pool and dinner was great.

Plussat: Staff was so helpful and accommodating

Plussat: Great place, room clean, excelent View, relaxing area....

Miinukset: No access to beach....

Plussat: Great stay will definitely book here again.

Plussat: What I like, was the customer service and hospitality of this little treasure.

Miinukset: N/A

Plussat: Although at first my wife was unsure of the area the friendly staff at this lovely little hotel won her over with their willingness to go out of their way to help even cooking us a lovely meal when the the surrounding restaurants were closed for the season

Miinukset: For us old farts their were too many stairs, but if you’re young and fit it shouldn’t be a problem

Plussat: The views from all rooms overlook the bay. Damian is the chef there and he’ll cook up anything you want. Just tell him the day before so he can buy it if he doesn’t have on hand. The entire staff was very polite and helpful and speak English for us that doesn’t speak fluent Spanish. It is a short walk to downtown but take a taxi home as it’s a pretty steep hill to climb. Cab rides to most places in town is $5-$8 IS dollars. Ask Damien for his suggestion on drivers. The gals at the front desk were awesome also!! We’ll return again!

Miinukset: View, Damien’s cooking and two very nice restaurants nearby but check for when they are open or call and they’ll open for you even if one person!

Plussat: Amazing view, and the best Hotel Manager. Damian will go out of his way to make your stay comfortable.

Plussat: This was an exceptional stay. The room we stayed in, room 101 was beautiful and spacious, uniquely designed, boutique in nature. The service attention from the owners is first class, they helped us in so many ways. The room has a large fridge, and the views over the bay were incredible. The cleanliness of the hotel, linens, towels and the pool was impressive. All of that for a crazy low price

Plussat: The location was perfect for us, just a short walk to the waterfront area with restaurants and shops. It is on a hill with a steep incline, but we didn't mind it at all. The view is amazing and the private pool was fun to relax and have a beer in.

Plussat: We have been staying at Villa Mexicana for over fifteen years. And this year it just seemed exceptionally good. The front desk staff lead by Eloisa is incredible and very helpful. The restaurant was good; both food and staff. And our room was delightful. It is obvious that the owners/management of the hotel have been making some improvements to the property. So far, so good! Just don't make too many changes! A very enjoyable long vacation.

Miinukset: Frankly, this year I do not have any negative comments. Seriously, all good.

Plussat: Several pools available depending on what you were looking for. Staff were very accommodating. My only suggestion would be is to get up early and reserve a lounge chair as they are somewhat limited.

Plussat: Spacious rooms and quite comfortable. Very nicely decorated.

Miinukset: The only thing I can think of is that the pool is incredibly hot. Feels like you’re in a giant hot tub. I guess they can’t do much about that though since it’s due to the sun. Maybe a canopy would suffice.

Plussat: Orlo was an excellent employee friendly and willing to do anything that was requested and is also a vey hard worker! Loved the outdoor kitchen!

Miinukset: Rooms need updating and each room should have their own fridge! Beds ar hard!

Plussat: Private, relaxed- pool- outdoor kitchen

Miinukset: Updating could enhance the stay- eg. showers, plumbing

Plussat: Close to the beach, no interference with staff friendly staff free to come and go and have friends visit

Miinukset: No water in the room, not knowing we had to pay cash when we checked, no designated smoking area people smoking on the decks and by the pool and in the outdoor kitchen

Plussat: People are nice the place is clean I would recommend it

Plussat: Hotel JB is not the Ritz and does not pretend to be - Hotel JB is a basic hotel - within easy walking distance to Playa La Ropa. The room was comfortable, the pool clean and relaxing, the surroundings safe and secure, a mix of good patrons and excellent staff.

Plussat: The location and accessibility was great.

Miinukset: The pool closed way to early. At 8pm

Plussat: The French Canadians who were staying there

Miinukset: Nada

Plussat: Very clean staff very friendly everything we needed for our vacation

Miinukset: Nothing everything was excelent.

Plussat: Friendly staff and manager. Spent time with friends and relatives staying at other hotels so was perfect to be able to put some distance between me and them when required. Handy to beach and restaurant/bars on the beach. Very clean, nice small pool and good basic cooking facilities.

Miinukset: Fumigation one day so had to be out of hotel for several hours and could still smell the gas on returning

Plussat: Good when you are low budget.

Miinukset: Noise from the other rooms.

Plussat: Close to the center of the city.

Miinukset: The bed is very uncomfortable, the a.c. and ceiling fan are very noisy, and we found cacroches in the room.

Plussat: The hotel is located next to the market and is within easy walking distance to beaches & restaurants very clean and well run.Those looking for a more Mexican cultrual immersion will be happy with the location.As a single male traveller in my late 60's I walked back from beach restaurants and friends later at night or all times of day and always felt completely safe.

Miinukset: The rooms are basic no frills there are some coffee makers available and also I believe small fridges at extra cost and up to 4 flights of stairs to the rooms so not for everyone..Also English only can be an issue but translater apps work very well.

Plussat: Tomas the Manager was very helpful. Spoke English. Took time To answer all our questions .

Plussat: Staff were very helpful Great location

Miinukset: Beds were terribly hard

Plussat: The hotel is split in two, one has a view to the sea. You have to cross the street to get to the beach but the traffic in this area is really low, so no problem with that. We visited other beaches and unless you prefer a pool-like-beach this is a good option.

Miinukset: The speed and attention of the restaurant service, very slow and waiter disappeared for long periods.

Miinukset: Ants in room and toliet kept getting clogged. Wifi was really poor.

Plussat: Nothing

Miinukset: Rooms have ants and lizards. Very dirty sinks and refrigerators. Toilets don't work properly.

Plussat: Great view on the beach and location to town..great boutique hotel with friendly staff

Miinukset: Noisy aircondioner and bed was uncomfortable.

Plussat: Very quiet and peaceful. Spacious room with a balcony.

Miinukset: The slight smell of sewer coming out of the shower drain.

Plussat: We love the garden & pool area on the office side of the street. Rooms are good size, have a fridge and a nice little living room area & an outside patio.

Miinukset: Rooms are dark and it was awkward trying to open the curtains to get light in because they were one large panel & didn't slide. The bathroom faucet didn't work very well, the window above the shower was missing a panel, and poor water pressure in the shower & toilet.

Miinukset: Terrible wifi. Terrible customer service

Plussat: location, quaint and clean

Miinukset: loud air conditioner but we had it:)

Plussat: Location just steps above playa madera beach. Great pool, bar, lounges, and sunset views. Easy walk to town. Great restaurants along the way Very helpful staff. Good housekeeping. I liked the pillows.

Miinukset: Air conditioning wasn't very powerful. Technical issues with television. No purifed drinking water supplied to the rooms on the off beach side. You had to buy the water in small bottles I didn't mind paying for cleAn drinking water .just wanted larger quantities..

Plussat: The service and the staff were great and very responsive to requests and concerns. The location was also first rate with access to Playa La Madera, restaurants on Calle Adelita and slightly longer walks to centro or Playa las Ropas. Two cute hotel cats adopted us and came running up to our balcony to greet us when we arrived back from daily outings.

Miinukset: In general this place could use a make over. A lot of little things like the bathroom mirrors and the shower heads need attention. It was hard to turn the shower on to just the right flow so that the spray from the shower head, which went in every direction due to it needing cleaning, from flooding the bathroom. We also had a leak in the roof during a huge rainstorm, which was very quickly fixed once we reported it.
