Zihuatanejo hotels

I've stayed at the Irma off & on for over 25 years. Have tried Sister Villa Mexicana which is a bit out of the way for my liking. The Irma is close for all of my needs. I love to walk the beach in the morning, afternoon or evening and stroll along to the beachside restaurants. Everything is so convenient including the local shopping, the big Mercado - you name it. I've seen extensive changes at the Irma throughout the years and Marylou and friends are doing a marvelous job of managing the property. The staff are all wonderful, and my dear friend Alfredo, I can't wait to see him again! I return every and run into the same travelers from years before! The IRMA come a long way baby! I would never hesitate to stay there and look forward to my next stay! The WI chick with the cowboy hat WILL be back!

The nicest place I have ever stayed. Impeccable service with attention to every detail. Extraordinary views. Incredible food. This place and the staff deserve the highest possible recommendation.

The Hotel Aura del Mar was perfect for us. The room was spacious and comfortable. The view was amazing. This property does have stairs down to the pool and beach, but we were aware of this when we booked so we had no surprises. This was our first time in Zihautanejo and we were happy to find no crowds. The pool and beach were never crowded. This hotel is in walking distance to shopping and restaurants. We cannot say enough nice things!

My husband and I loved our early May stay at this hotel. The location was ideal at the center of the gorgeous, horseshoe shaped beach. The staff were sincerely hospitable and provided lovely service throughout our stay. We could have dined in town, but chose to take all meals at the hotel (2 restaurants). Fresh, local and healthy preparation. The "basil cocktail" at the bar was excellent. We would visit again!

We stayed in the penthouse/honeymoon sweet. While the hotel is older and not luxurious the charm of the town, the view from our room and the privacy of the space far outweighed any negatives. The room has two glass walls that can be opened to admit a wonderful Pacific breeze. Any clothing at all is over dressing in this space. The room includes an outdoor patio with seating and a hammock (private). The room and patio overlook the harbor as well as distant beaches, mountains and the town. The outdoor pool was clean, private and masterfully decorated with the pool area designed as a surreal concrete village. The hotel is centrally located with 6 or more restaurants just outside the door, many providing live music. The center of town is a 5 minute walk providing shopping, including fine Mexican silver, handmade shoes, more restaurants, and mucho live music. If you get up early you can watch the fishing trade as locals walk to beach to buy fish directly off the boats as they come in (at 20 peso's per kilo). The staff is friendly and attentive (only Spanish spoken). Highly recommended for the adventurous type.

It was a lovely place right on the beach; room was fantastic.

The place to stay if you are looking for true Mexican Hospitality!! The owners are wonderful and go out of their way to make you feel at home in this quaint hotel. It was exactly what I was looking for, no frills, living with locals and lots of laughter!! We stayed here for 8 days and felt very safe no matter where we went or what time of day. 6 blocks to the beach & shops..GREAT margaritas and local people along the way. If you are looking for lots of obnoxious tourists...go to Ixtapa. We spent 11 days at an all inclusive there, getting pushed, stepped on and having to get up at 445am to save a seat at the pool. Horrible..it was like a job for 11 days. My hotel of choice will always be Hotel Amueblados, where they make you feel like family. I hope to make this my stop every year for a least 3 weeks. Many thanks to Christian & Ebby for a very memorable stay.

For the sixth year in a row, I am again amazed at the friendliness and helpful hospitality of the whole staff at VM!! This year I enjoyed all the buzz and fanfare of the daily morning show, 'Hoy!', broadcasting from our hotel and beach! What fun! Love love LOVE VM!!
