Name: Nice vacation place to relax under the hot sun of zihuatanejo
Address: Zihuatanejo

Nothing's better than an afternoon beside the sea. Round up the kids, put together a picnic and get out into the fresh air at Contramar Beach.

Contramar Beach is a great place to begin your day of discovery in Zihuatanejo. This stretch of coastline comes recommended by fellow travelers, but it isn't the only spot to see here. Pencil in time for other sights like La Ropa Beach, Las Gatas Beach, and El Palmar Beach to really enjoy what's on offer in the area.

7.8/10 Good! (379 reviews)

This was our 4th staff @ Catalina. The staff was excellent and took great care of us during our visit. Alberto at the beach bar was great, Rosie gave us awesome massages and the morning breakfast staff was also terrific. Overall, we had a great vacation. Suggestion for improvement: Expand the breakfast included menu to include some pancakes or other option.
