Contramar Beach Tours

Too many stairs to go to the beach, the room was nice but there were blood stains and ants on the balcony. Tha stuff was nice!

We spent 12 nights at las palmas. It was our first time to Zihuatenejo and we weren’t disappointed with our choice. The room was as advertised and was cleaned for us daily so was always nice and clean and had a change of towels and linens regularly. Management were friendly and attentive when we needed anything. The restaurant was convenient but we like to cook our own meals so didn’t use it too much but was nice to be able to order drinks on the beach and the couple times we did eat the the food was good. There were great grocery stores in Zihuatenejo, we rented our own car so could tour around on our own. We always felt safe and had our two teenage kids with us. We did explore some of the dining options along playa Blanca which were always great and well priced. The beach at las Palmas isn’t great for swimming but is beautiful and quiet. Great for long walks, flying a kite or lounging in the beach loungers. You can drive to Barra de petosi and that beach is great for swimming and the lagoon is calm and shallow. We rented kayaks one day and explored the mangroves which was really fun. The town of Zihuatenejo was probably our favourite Mexican tourist town we have been to. People were really friendly and didn’t get hassled at all. Prices were reasonable and great restaurants to choose from. We also took a drive up to Troncones which was really nice and recommend for a day trip. Very happy we stayed at Las Palmas, keep in mind it’s very quiet here & away from crowds

The hotel is well located in Ixtapa. The food was excellent. We decided to switch hotels to go to another beach (without as many motorized vehicles running in the sea - not under control of the hotel) and they supported us a 100 percent. Madame Keyla y Mister Manriquez were very helpful with Expedia. They also received our comments and took them very seriously and respectfully. The hotel is nice, the service is excellent everywhere. We were just not aware the hotel would have so many kids in the pool and thus we decided to move somewhere else quieter, we were just 2 adults. Excellent option if you have kids. I would recommend it to my friends.
