Hotels with Swim-up Rooms in Zihuatanejo

Loved our 7 day stay. Room was great , bed extremely comfortable.our balcony space and plunge pool was fantastic. 360 view of the bay. Staff extremely helpful, knowledgeable and very friendly. Service was impressive in the restaurant as well as the food.

Hilton Zihuatanejo is an amazing property. We had an ocean view studio. The bedroom was very nice but the jewel was the huge balcony patio with dipping pool. The view was so gorgeous and peaceful. All the staff were so helpful and welcoming. Loved the swim up bar and pool right next to the beach. Several restaurants within short walk and town close enough to walk or take a short taxi ride. Definitely would return to this beautiful hotel resort!!

Do not hesitate and book this resort. Loved this resort. As soon as you walk in to check in they great you with a wet towel that smells like tranquility and a cold chilled water bottle to quench your thirst - and if you are here in a July you know you need it. We arrived super early and Rigoberto gave us bracelets to have access to the pool and beach area and held on to our luggage. He had our room faster than expected. Rooms are cozy cute and fresh. Food is delish. Alcoholic drinks are amazing and the beach rest area was more than you can imagine. The vibe of the resort is family oriented, yet you don’t see kids running around. The pool area was where the party was !! We did not eat at the restaurant, yet the locals do suggest to do so as their menu and food is superb. And I trust the locals. Amazing and friendly staff from the driver to the security gentleman that gave us a lesson on the turtle eggs. We will be back !

Staff — excellent. Food — very good. Location — amazing. But two minor quibbles. 1. Bar closes at 6 — right when I start thinking about a cocktail. There is a space above the reception that is set up like a bar but was never open the two times we stayed there. 2. Rooms are luxurious but there is no glass in the windows/doors so when it is hot (most of the time in Zihuatanejo) you have all the shutters closed for A/C so no view at all. But we had a lovely time. If you don’t care about a bar and plan to spend all your time poolside or beachside, it’s perfect!

This is a beautiful property on Playa La Ropa. Our room--king bed with living room, small kitchen, 2 baths, large patio--was wonderful! Great pools and lovely well-maintained beach area. All of the small thatched hut restaurants on the beach are close as well as more fancy restaurants just a few blocks down the street. Downtown is very walkable from the resort. Although there were not a lot of activities at the resort, we really enjoyed the market visit and the cooking class that was provided. We would love to come back again to Embarc Zihua!!

My stay here was simply amazing! The staff was incredibly friendly, very attentive and always went the extra mile! The room was small but lovely and the terrace view was beautiful. The pool was more of a plunge pool but was perfect since the property only has 4 rooms. The place was super quiet & private with spectacular views from the restaurant on-site!

If you don't stay here at least make a reservation for one evening in their restaurant. We found Espuma 2 years ago when it was just the restaurant. The beautiful location overlooking town and the bay is fantastic. The food was really outstanding. When we found that they had rooms we had to book it. Our stay was simply amazing. The staff are fun, friendly and can't seem to do enough to make your stay enjoyable. The hotel, rooms, common areas etc are spotless. The hotel and restaurant have changed owners since we were last there. The menu has changed a little but the quality and service are still exceptional. The location is excellent, a 5 minute walk to La Ropa Beach and about 15 minutes into town. The common area for the rooms has a fridge to keep drinks and snacks cold. Breakfast was included in the room and morning coffee and breakfast pool side were just the best way to start the day. The ONLY minor thing to be aware of is that the steps around the pool and going to the rooms can be a little slippery with wet feet. We had to really think hard to come up with something even remotely negative. Deb & Charles

The best stay we've ever had in Zihuatanejo Since we live in NY, my wife and I´ve been coming 3 consecutive years to the paradise that is Zihuatanejo, the two first years, we stayed at 2 of the 5-star Hotels, and this third time we decided to experience the Espuma Hotel, hanging on the cliff, at our room we felt practically been flying over the waves, the view and the location are second to none, the service was always warm and friendly. Our Suite (the hotel has only 3 rooms) is really spacious, and its private big terrace with a small pool, sun chairs, and an outdoor shower, are the perfect combination to don´t want to ever have to leave! I must add that the food at the Restaurant is delicious and excellent service. I especially thanks Carmen for all her help during our stay. We can't wait to go back! Jason M

Fairytale dining with warm breeze, overlooking water and twinkling lights. Need to arrange own breakfast and lunch, shared infinity pool and kitchen for 3 rooms. Short walk to the beach and other beautiful dining.

Small cozy hotel with 3 rooms and a pool deck area overlooking zihua. Food is fresh and delicious.

Loved our stay at Tentaciones! It was recommended by a friend, and I am doing same for others. Really like the Adults Only aspect of this property. The service was impeccable, the room we stayed in was beautiful (super clean) and with our own private pool. We enjoyed a delicious 5 course dinner in their outdoor dining area which was VERY romantic. And the morning breakfasts (included in package) were hearty and delicious! Tentaciones is a great place, and we will stay there again!

I was optimistic seeing the great reviews here, however all expectations were exceeded. First of all the service from all staff is impeccable. Carmen and Luis kept us so well cared for with food/drink/transport/reservations etc.. We stayed in the Alejandra suite and I can't say enough about how perfect it was. Having the outdoor plunge pool was integral to a visit in the off-season heat. Being able to enjoy the views from the balcony while remaining cool in the pool was such a welcome refuge. The food at the restaurant is fine dining in the evenings and my birthday dinner was so special. I even had a special birthday breakfast. Breakfast daily served by Luis couldn't be a better start to each day. Fresh fruit, yogurt and granola to start followed by a daily changing main hot course with a spectacular view. The location is situated almost ideally between the town and the main tourist beach La Ropa. You can walk to each area, but would suggest a taxi ride due to the "hike" to get down from the the property. The taxi rank is a block away so rides are quick and incredibly cheap. All together, Tentaciones provides everything needed for a relaxing escape from the hustle/bustle of daily life. It truly is an enchanting destination to recharge and feel pampered if only for a time.

We truly loved our stay at Tentaciones. We spent 7 nights in the Ana Catalina room. The room was large with double sinks and double shower. We had pocket doors which lead to a patio that had a double lounger, table with 2 chairs and plunge pool that was absolutely perfect to relax in after a hot day. We loved our view both night and day. At night the hills light up with the city lights making it so beautiful. Tentaciones is famous in the area for their restaurant. We had breakfast at the hotel every morning and often had lunch there as well. The food is amazing as well as their Tamarindo Margaritas!! Since there are only 8 guests staying at any given time, lounging at the infinity pool was so relaxing. Soft music in the background and a staff that is so friendly and there to help with anything you need. Carmen helped us with Taxis and reservations in the area. Carmen is so incredibly hospitable and a pleasure to see and talk to everyday. We already miss Tentaciones and are looking forward to our next stay!

What can I say that hasn't been said already. This place is AMAZING in every way. We came here for our honeymoon and it was spectacular! We stayed in the Alejandra suite. And boy did we pick a great room. Very large room with indoor and outdoor shower. The outside was great with our own plunge pool. Very private. The grounds are so beautiful words cannot give it justice. And the view, my God the view from the pool as well as our room. Now imagine all that then add the service. The people make you feel soooo welcomed and treat you like family. Special thank you to Luis and Carmen they took great care of us and made sure we had anything we needed. The rest of the staff is amazing as well. It was truly or favorite trip ever. We love to travel but there has not been anything like this. We can't wait to return!!

As we drove up we were impressed with the structure. When we walked up to the 2 wooden doors we wondered if we were entering the wrong way. Once we opened the grand doors, we were overwhelmed by the beauty of the view. The entire staff welcomed us and made us feel at home. The room was as incredibly large for 2 and the rose petals on the bed were a romantic gesture. My favorite part was our private pool as the view was breathtaking. The only downside to this property if you have any physical limitations is the steep walk up and down to the street level or to your room. This property is incredibly beautiful, well maintained and customer service friendly. The staff will always call you by name as you enter of leave which makes it more special.

Amazing views, swim up pool to room and great service. Close to town so $5 or less taxi’s available everywhere and no one trying to sell you things all day every day.

The pool, access to beach and service felt magical.

Hands down the best service I have received at any hotel I've visited (and I've been to a lot). The team here was so incredibly helpful, kind, accommodating, they went above and beyond and truly thought of everything for our stay. The property was spotless and beautiful, safe and relaxing, our room with a private plunge pool was very spacious and beautifully decorated, and my facial at the spa was heaven. This is a rare gem, a 5 star stay for a very fair price, and we cannot wait to return as often as possible! Big thank you to the staff, especially Christina, Juan, Jorge and the others :)

Such a great resort! Everyone was amazing - from front desk staff to everyone on the beach/restaurants. The rooms were really comfortable, clean and well maintained. The food by the beach is actually reasonably priced (obviously much more than eating in town) and actually really good and lots of healthy options. The security team even pulled grabbed us while walking to a restaurant nearby at night to watch a turtle lay its eggs, and shared other local tips, etc. Such a relaxing and special experience. Highly recommend the swim up suites - no better way to start your day then to have coffee on your balcony and jump right into the pool.

Hello! I have been there six times! It’s the third time they change ownership! The facility is to die for however I miss the previous ownership! They need more waiters! The waiters they have are the best in Mexico! The food was delicious however I miss the Mexican traditional food they use to have! Our favorite thing to do at the hotel was to watch sports on the pool when we walked in on Thursday there was no tv I had to ask for them to put it up which they did! What o lovea about this hotel is service!!!!!! No other hotel has it as good as this one! I feel they could do more with there beautiful facility! Miss the ping pong table! They need to re open the restaurant behind the tv pool! The massages on the beach are amazing had one every day!

Incredible view, great location, fantastic amenities, top-notch service. Seriously, we did a bunch of research, and even when we were there we couldn't find any spots with a better view and location. The penthouse with a private balcony pool was phenomenal. All the pools are softwater, so no nasty chemicals running your hair and skin. We went in the off-season so there was only one other couple there. They have 2 large pools and a restaurant up top. They also gave us a complimentary 20 liter just of water with a dispenser. This is the only place we will ever stay if we get to come back to Zihuatanejo.

We enjoyed our stay at Villas San Sebastián. I liked that there was a locked door at street level to access the grounds. The villas are located on a hillside, so you must be able to climb stairs, ranging from about 30 stairs to 100, depending on your villa’s location. All villas have an outdoor kitchen, bedroom and bathroom with shower. Our villa, No. 6, was nicely tiled but could use some updating. The view of the bay from our terrace was sensational. The walk-in closet was not air conditioned and had a small opening with bars and a damaged screen, so we did not keep our clothing in there and pretty much kept clothing in our suitcases. The pool is small but clean. While we were there, a new pool complete with bar and small restaurant opened, but it is located near the top of the hill. We easily walked to shops and restaurants near and on Playa La Ropa. The walk back was uphill. All in all, I think this property provides good value in a central, off-the-beach location.

Everything! The location - right at the entrance down to La playa Ropa Beach! Our villa with the outside veranda to eat and overlook La Playa Ropa. Luis and his wife that ensured all was well with us! The swimming pool! Even though the weather was very hot and humidity was high our room was very comfortable with the air. The hot water was instant. Also the people that we met there that come all the time welcomed us and helped us get around! Staying at San Sebastián was the best part of our trip!

I can’t say enough good things about this property. The room was spotless and kept that way by the team of housekeepers. The room was large with a king sized bed, sitting area and kitchen area and had its own terrace which provided an incredible view of Zihuatanejo Bay and La Ropa beach. The pool was very inviting and sparkling clean. The beach is only about a 5-10 minute walk. I wouldn’t hesitate to stay there again!

Great views, safe, few guests, pool, impeccable grounds, new restaurant top of property, OXXO close by, several great restaurants including Jungle Pizza and Trattoria Gianni. La Ropa beach, Thompson resort steps away. Taxis cheap and plentiful. A couple suggestions: a welcome list w wifi info, atm locations, coffee and soda to get you started. Tips: carry small bills for tips, tote bag for groceries etc. Top units best to mitigate street noise. Loved our stay!!

We loved everything! It felt like coming home to visit family. All the staff was amazing. The architecture of this space has such a dreamy vibe. We had pool service everyday. Cynthia booked massages, dinner reservations, taxis, and had laundry service prepped for us. Marta makes the best ham sandwiches and margaritas. Irvin was so helpful with our room necessities making sure we were nice and cool. We had the pleasure of meeting the owners of the property and their friends. They were so welcoming and we enjoyed their company. We enjoyed their recommendations! Happy Birthday to Hugh and Duane! Thank you for sharing your cake with me! 😎

Great boutique hotel. Rooms are spacious and well appointed with a complete kitchen. Pool and garden area is nice and relaxing. The staff is very accommodating and extremely kind --answered all my questions and provided everything I needed. Location is ideal for access to La Ropa beach and all of Zihuatanejo. A very relaxing experience.

Staff was very friendly. Room was private and also opened up to the pool. Room was large and comfortable. Short walk to the beach

Staff, convenience, amenities, cleanliness & up keep, beautiful pool, calm, relaxing, quiet & fun!!

Stunning and spotless villa hotel with a gorgeous pool. It felt like a true oasis! The rooms are beautifully decorated too. We loved being able to order wonderful food from the room service menu — BEST margaritas ever! You’re only a few moments from the beach too.

This condo in Playa Ropa Zihuatenejo is fantastic. It's large, clean, modern, and has a fantastic view of the beach with an infinity pool. We had an amazing time staying here. The apartment is nicely decorated, has its own dip pool on the spacious patio, and the views can't be beat. Walking to Playa Ropa is a few minutes away down a walkway and some steps, just be prepared for the walk back, it was fine for us as we are active, but might be too much for others. Las Gatas beach is also .6 miles away by scrambling over a somewhat rocky trail. But it is worth it. Taking a cab ride to board the ferry to Isla Ixtapa is only 15 minutes away. The infinity pool in the common area is a nice place to relax and cool off after exploring the area.

Great building and great unit, beautiful view. The property management company is very accommodating. We loved it and look forward to returning. Pls note several stairs to unit and hills nearby if you need to factor that in your consideration but there are also taxis

Amazing service for whatever your needs were. I would definitely go back. Perfect location. Loved the indoor/outdoor living.

Fabulously equipped, very spacious, great view and facilities

Everything. We come back every year. Love the people who work there, the two pools(one infinity) the other a natural salt water one. Rooms are gorgeous. Try to get one which has its own private pool.

We loved the stunning architecture of the hotel built on the side of the hill over looking the Pacific Ocean. Our suite was gorgeous with a lovely terrace overlooking the bay with two comfortable lounge chairs and our own private pool. The food and drinks were delicious. Our bed was very comfortable with nice sheets. The staff were friendly and very attentive.

I love the architecture of this property and the fact that it’s only a few rooms makes it more intimate. The staff is what truly sells this hotel. They are 100/10. So kind, attentive, and very good at their jobs. They go the extra mile explaining things & making sure you are comfortable. Once we went into the pool, two minutes later they came with iced water to help us cool down & hydrate. They replace towels outside the pool area as soon as we take one. The amenities are gorgeous and everything stays spotless. Not once did I see anything unkept. There is a private pathway to the beach which makes it convenient to go out and enjoy the waves.

Staff were wonderful and helpful! The salt water pool was amazing! My room was super amazing with its own pool and outdoor area.

Breakfast was a highlight each day. Beautifully presented and absolutely delicious. Staff remembered our name and were caring and kind - very high end 5-star service, esp from front desk and housekeeping. Adorable animal designs on bed each night, made with flowers and leaves. And the ultimate was the salt water pool way down by the rocks. I ordered margaritas there each day, read my book, relaxed, swam, and it all felt deeply restorative. Locational absolutely cannot be beat. Direct beach access to La Ropa but only 5 min walk to Madeira. You have all the options of meals on the La Ropa side and in El Centro all with a nice walk - or a $5 taxi for when you want to give your legs a rest. Sunset drinks at roof bar with acoustic Mexican music 2x per week. And an awesome gym with inspiring views - this exceeded my expectations. Oh -

This property is absolutely beautiful and very conveniently situated between Playa Madera and Playa La Ropa. The view is spectacular and the unit was clean, modern, and very well laid out. The kitchen was well equipped and had everything we needed. Did I mention the view? It was breathtaking. We loved falling asleep listening to the waves crash after having cocktails in the pool (which also has a stunning view). Lastly, the bed was very comfortable and have two bathrooms was a treat. The communication with the staff was great too. I will stay here again for sure!

The place was a little difficult for cab driver from the airport to find, but once we arrived everything was perfect! It was very conveniently located, had all of the amenities to cook and hangout at the villa, beautiful views, and it was extremely clean. We will most likely stay here again when we come back to Zihuatanejo.

Pictures don’t justify the beautiful views and room. Very clean and convenient places to stay I would definitely recommend this place you would not regret it.

It’s in the middle of both beaches la ropa and madera and the place is clean and has an amazing view and vibe.

Stunning views, daily maid service, free breakfast, perfect pool and location. If you are trying to decide where to stay, look no further! My husband and I stayed here for 8 days in November of 2017. We were looking for someplace to stay without children, with an amazing view and a great location. We wanted to be close enough to walk to the beach, but far enough away from the noise and foot traffic to have quiet evenings. La Escollera Suites did not disappoint! The owners Celine and Manuel went above and beyond and were gracious hosts. We were a short walk to La Ropa Beach, we went back and forth several times per day. We also walked to Playa Las Gatas for a day of snorkeling. It is just a short cab ride to downtown Zihua and Ixtapa. We preferred to spend many hours in the infinity pool overlooking the bay and walking to La Ropa. We ate at the restaurant each morning, and several times for dinner. Overall it was an amazing and romantic place to stay without our kids. Food and room were great. We can't wait to come back!!

The views were unbeatable, the pool and view from the pool was unbeatable. The service was excellent. Good value.

This hotel was really beautiful, on the hill, with amazing views of the beach and city. We loved having breakfast on the deck, with the hummingbirds (and all the other animals residing at the hotel!) Staff was friendly and helpful. Great place to have a margarita in the pool and just relax and take in the beautiful surroundings. This was our first time to Zihuatanejo, and we fell in love. We have been to most of the other big beach towns (Cabo, Puerto Vallarta etc.) and this was by far the most beautiful and relaxing. The downtown area was just a few minutes drive away, and was a great place to walk around, with tons of shops and restaurants. The only (minor) complaints I had were that the bed was quite hard, and the jacuzzi on the balcony would not hold water. I'm sure if we had contacted someone, they would have taken care of it, but it was late, and we decided to just skip it.

Our hosts Celine and Manuel were so warm and welcoming. They were eager to offer suggestions and made our stay very memorable. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The view was absolutely stunning. The bio park on-site was really lovely. I enjoyed talking to all the birds and other wildlife each day. The room was large and the bed was very comfortable. Lazing by and in the infinity pool was heavenly. Soaking in the private jacuzzi on the deck was a lovely way to end the evening before climbing into bed. We loved eating fresh fruit grown on the property each morning for breakfast. Ongoing construction made for some untidiness but it was easy to overlook this because everything else was exceptional. I look forward to returning and highly recommend this wonderful gem to anyone looking for a truly beautiful vacation destination.

Celine and Manuel were wonderful hosts! They and their staff made us feel very welcome. The suite was huge with its own hot tub, large private veranda, very comfortable king-size bed and breathtaking views of Zihuatenejo and La Ropa beach. The food and service at the restaurant was top notch at very reasonable prices, and the infinity-edge pool and sun deck were perfect. The biological park on the property, which Celine and Manuel are in the process of relocating and remodeling, has many interesting plants, animals, insects and reptiles, many endangered. We went into Zihua and La Ropa several times during our stay, but ended up hanging out at La Escollera the last 2 days because it was muy tranquillo and the perfect place to relax!

My 9 year old son and I stayed at Aura del Mar for Spring Break 2024. While the hotel is not kid focused or running over with screaming kids, it is kid friendly. The pool area is lovely, with plenty of different lounging areas in the shade. It's a bonus that the excellent and reasonably priced Bistro Del Mar is on the beach level, as they were consistently delivering food and drinks up to guests at the pool. I considered it to be in the ideal location in Zihuatanejo, as it's a 10 minute walk north to the city center. Along the way, there are several highly regarded restaurants. Plus, Maderas right next door on the beach is also a great spot. Additionally, there are some true gem restaurants and coffee shops within several blocks of the hotel itself. In the other direction is Playa Ropa, which is a 15-20 minute walk, first uphill and then down. The cabs were 450 MXN (about $28) each way, about a 15-20 minute drive. As others have said, it's nice that there's a small convenience store across the street for room necessities. The hotel provides plenty of bottled and filtered water at no cost. We didn't have any luck being able to book any excursions ahead of time, but the concierge Carlos was able to get us set up with fishing, zip lining and the sea turtle experience. The rooms overall had everything needed - a working air conditioner, Wifi, and cable TV. We enjoyed playing cards on our balcony before heading out to dinner.

I booked a trip to Zihuatanejo with my two daughters (5 and 8 years old) at the very last minute (5 days prior) after learning their school-run spring break camp was already full (duh), so I really knew very little going in and had no expectations - but I could not have been happier with where we landed. This was SUCH a wonderful hotel in such a fantastic location, it crossed all the boxes for what we were looking for in a trip and then some! The hotel itself was absolutely beautiful, right on the beach with an awesome pool (built-in slide, over-the-water hammocks, in-pool lounge chairs, etc)- the staff were all incredibly lovely and accommodating, helping us with everything from booking excursions (turtle hatching is highly encouraged!), recommending family-friendly dinner spots, finding us another similar (arguably even better?) room to move into so we could extend our stay several days, and even allowing us a place to store our luggage and have a last-minute shower on our final day there, we honestly couldn't have asked for more. My kids were especially enamored with the talking parrots (we, too, have a parrot) as well as discovering the adorable little animal/nature scenes the housekeeping staff created on the beds using flower petals and towels whenever they tidied -it was just the sweetest! I've already encouraged friends to book with them and look forward to returning, myself, again, and again, and again....thank you aura del mar!

My first time staying at Aura del Mar and I shall return! Stayed in room 105 which was perfect. 30 seconds from the pool, 45 seconds and you're on Madera Beach. 45 seconds and you're in the lobby and out front on the street. The staff was simply marvelous. Special shout out to Sandy at the lobby bar and Roxy at the reception desk. Francisco needs to stop trying to side-hustle his excursions and adventures. Just take a "No, thank you" and quit asking me if I need to book anything, Francisco. The bartenders and waiters in the restaurant were all great, too. Despite the street being torn up for major maintenance, we were a very short walk to lots of different restaurants and shops. The pool area is hard to beat, never any trouble getting a lounge chair. Same for the beach area, plenty of chairs. The boardwalk is close by and makes for an easy stroll to Playa Principal and plenty of things to see and do. I absolutely loved my visit and will be booking a return trip very soon!

Gorgeous property with stunning views, huge very clean rooms with awesome balconies, exceptional service. Just a wonderful experience. My husband and I went for a quick 5 day trip from our home in San Miguel de Allende. We normally don’t stay on a hotel property for meals and activities as we like adventure and variety, but this place was so pretty, with a great restaurant and beautiful pool and decks with hammocks overlooking the beach we only left a few nights for dinner to go to a few other highly-recommended restaurants. The hotel took all COVID precautions very seriously(I’m an RN is the US). Well worth the price. Loved the poolside food and drink service. Carlos was just amazing at making us feel so welcome from the very minute we arrived until we took a taxi back to the airport. Don’t hesitate to book this hotel. My husband and I have owned two hotels so we are very picky and this place is perfect.

This was our second visit to Aura Del Mar; the first visit was when it was named Brisas Del Mar in 2010. This property has kept all the charm that we feel in love with back in 2010 and has made some incredible additions since. The pool deck over looking the ocean was peaceful and gave you a beautiful 360• view. The landscaping is gorgeous and tended to. The onsite spa has been updated and is lovely. Coffee machines in every room with fresh ground coffee provided. Turn down service at night. Cold A/C Friendly staff Abel is on the top deck serving happy hour and a gorgeous view of the sunset. The beach / pool towels they provide are adorable. This hotel is a gem.

Spacious and clean rooms, super comfortable beds, and amazing views. 100% wheelchair accesible. Very nice pools and jacuzzis. The food at the specialty restaurants was good! The staff was very friendly and made us feel at home.

We completely enjoyed everything. One thing that stood out was the absence of pushy salesmen trying to get you to buy some "membership". We've been scammed by that in other Mexican hotels. I was pleasantly surprised this establishment did not have that at all! Loved it and will definitely go back!

Michelle the young girl on the front desk she is Amazing 👏. She helped my group nicely and polite. I can't believe how she handled the situation. Thank you for your patience and for your support.

Everything, the service was great and the facilities new and comfortable

Breakfast buffet was great everyday, location was beautiful but a little far from town and a long taxi ride. Although we planned on staying on the resort most of the time so it wasn’t a huge inconvenience

Easy access to the pool, and a swim up bar. Typically the pool area was empty. Never a problem. Finding a chair.

Recently renovated--was Holiday Inn. Staff friendly and helpful but Spanish is useful as only reception employees have English and theirs can be limited. Our room was as pictured for a double standard. Everything in our room worked properly (remember to shut the window to get the air-conditioner to work). Limited English TV channels but you are supposed to be outside enjoying the great weather. There is a clothes line in the shower. One bottle of water a day for the room. There was a coffee maker but you had to purchase coffee separately. Good desk chair. Mattress was new and choice of hard/soft pillows. Hotel has beautifully engineered pool, warm water, water slide, shallow area. Large expanse for seating and we were alone poolside most of the day. Swim up bar or handy servers if it is closed. Grounds are kept up. Small gym and masseuse are poolside. Our second floor west wing room overlooked the pool and we loved it. We keep our windows open all night. Hotel was quiet except on weekends when it fills up with weekending families. Piano music drifting up to our room over the bar was wonderful! Excellent pianist. The bar music shuts down at 10:30PM but partying on weekends can last longer. The bar and restaurant are open air and some hotel rooms have large balconies and those tend to be occupied by party crowd or large families. The noise can carry. So we closed our window two nights to help lessen the noise until it ended. No traffic noise though.

I work for Marriott Corporation and have been in the hotel business since 1979. This hotel is a great price/value and has an incredible staff starting with RICARDO in the restaurant. This young man made our stay and took time to help us with everything from directions to recommendations in the area. The rooms were clean and the AC was great. The housekeeping staff made a nice towel animal in our room one day and they were very friendly. It is not on the beach but has a nice pool and very close to the beach. We will be back! Thanks again RICARDO

I would definately recommend this hotel to anyone it is a small hotel with a great location close to everything and it is clean and the pool is just the right size. My family and I have been looking to stay away from the All- inclusive resorts since for something decent and affordable and I think we found it at Gamma de Fiesta Inn we loved it.

My room had a blood stain so they had to change our sheets right away. When you check-in they put a bracelet on your hand and you must always wear it. It’s kind of uncomfortable so my son was kicked out of the pool because he took it off. So he had to go get another one. Location is pretty good. Friendly staff.

The view from our 20th floor room was fabulous. The beach is private (no vendors) and there are plenty of loungers and palapa huts. The pools are large and beautiful, and again plenty of loungers. Lifeguards are present in both locations. There’s a nice kiddy pool. We saw whales and dolphins several times from our room or the pool area. The stargazing is also very good. Bring binoculars! The food is good, and the specialty restaurants are very nice. The staff throughout the hotel are excellent! Free 7 km bike tours are offered 3x per week. Sign up with the concierge, spaces are limited. A good way to see part of Ixtapa. One of the tennis courts has been converted to two pickleball courts, and we enjoyed our games.

Love the pathways to the pool and beach staff on the pool very nice love the space of the bad rooms.

Location is amazing - with a private beach and close to both Ixtapa and Zihua, I could not fault it. The pool area is superb. Breakfast is first class. The rooms are lovely with very private seaview balconies complete with hammock. Loved my stay here and would highly recommend,

Everything at Las Brisas is wonderful from the entire staff to the restaurants, lodging, pools, and cleanliness. We have stayed at Las Brisas multiple times, and we are never disappointed. The staff is very friendly, helpful, and at your service.

Beautiful modern hotel, very clean rooms, friendly staff. One of my favorite hotels in the area with it's own private beach and a multitude of pools to choose from. Four restaurants on site, all very good.

This was an incredible place. Very clean and comfortable, we had room 11 on the top floor with the private soaker tub. Absolutely amazing view of the whole town, Bay, and ocean. We were gobsmacked when we arrived. We loved the pool and spent a lot of time there. When we were there we almost always had the pool to ourselves and the other guests were always quiet and chill. Very comfy place. At night the view of the lights of town is just gorgeous. We did a night swim almost every night and the pool makes you feel like you're floating over the town. Watching the sunrise every morning was amazing as well. Very comfy beds. Great a/c. WiFi was good in half the room, wouldn't work in our bedroom. Tv was great when we needed it. Really lovely place.

Everything. This was just what we have been looking for when we travel to Zihuatanejo. It is quiet, which is imported to us. Having a kitchenette was great. The pool is clean and well maintained. The best part is the view!!

The view was spectacular. The room was ideal. Having a pool on the property was fantastic. Decent water pressure. Great housecleaning. Great laundry service. The fridge worked effectively. Getting a breeze through the opened windows was a bonus.

Location was perfect, the hotel and rooms are beautiful and very quiet. They are much better in person than in pictures!!! The pool at night is truly amazing. Staff is kind and helpful. Everything was perfect.

The property is beautifully maintained with lovely gardens and pool. Great view. Stayed in the economic room, not fancy but comfortable with a nice little porch area outside which was shaded.

The view is great, the room was in good condition, and the pool was very nice.

Very clean and well maintained. The pool was very welcoming.

De Pool ,view and the location close to everything

We stayed at Emporio Ixtapa and had a wonderful experience. The hotel is well organized, spotlessly clean, and our room was absolutely impeccable. The pool is a bit small, but this detail is easily overlooked because the real highlight is the staff: truly amazing people, always smiling, helpful, and able to make you feel at home. A special thanks to Hector for his warm welcome and to the entire team for making our vacation so enjoyable. An extraordinary staff!

The employees were top notch. The poolside food demo's were a great bonus. The outdoor sun beds were the best part.

It was a nice property. Staff was very helpful. A bit overcrowded and there was not much control at the pools . People had speakers on full blast and even through there are signs not to save spots, people would leave things on the pool chairs and leave for the day.

The staff were friendly and great service. The problem is that the bars do not open until 11. So even if you want something to drink like a soda or water at the beach, you’d have to go to the buffet or wait. The hotel is fairly dated and the pools weren’t very clear. However being Spring Break it was very busy. The food was decent with one midweek outside bbq with excellent food. The town and shops are right across the street for good location. They could improve on having at least one bar open earlier and maybe something for snacks between meals.

Perfect hotel for pairs and families as well as for single travellers who want to spend calm holiday / weekend. Amazing staff, very nice beach and pool. But i would not recommend it for people searching rich night-life.

We have stayed at this hotel several times. They are slowly upgrading different areas from the aging hotel they started with. The room we had this week was the same room we had on our first stay (oceanfront view) and this time was completely upgraded. The beds are excellent. I only had two irritations, one was the patio door, it kept coming off the track making it difficult to open and close. The other was a coffee pot with no coffee supplies. I enjoy a cup early in the morning and this is one of the HI perks for me. Either give guests supplies or take out the pot? Two bottles of water supplied daily which was nice and a refrigerator in the room. There are 3 restaurants, only two were open and crowded on Friday-Sunday. Food was ok, typical all-inclusive offerings. We prefer to go into town for dinners anyway. The staff is amazing, always helpful and smiling. Pool and beach service was good. This is a family friendly resort, lots of kids having a great time. The location of this hotel cannot be beat, the beach is beautiful and proximity to town is right across the street, so if you can overlook some small flaws you will enjoy your stay.

The staff aim to please, food was good quality & variety, grounds & pool were kept up top notch. The Fiesta night was the icing on the cake.

FANTASTIC!!! Everything about this property was spectacular. The location, the staff, the accommodations. We stayed on bungalow #2. We had an outside fully stocked kitchen, a dinning area and a huge sun porch . Mind you this is not a all- inclusive 5 start property. This is a more intimate establishment, but with that said, we we were treated like gold. The staff from check in to check out was attentive and friendly, helpful and patient. Ricardo is a fantastic host and the cleaning staff were amazing and made the little towel art on our bed every day. The restaurant stayed open for us because we were late getting in on a very long bus ride and we’re starving. our waiter Armando was great. We swam in the pool a lot and always was clean and refreshing. Again, forget about the views, they are amazing. couldn’t have had a better time!

We stayed in the junior suite with jetted tub. The drawback is it was right above the pool, which can get noisy with kids during the day. The view is amazing. The kitchen is outdoors , well equipped. There are alot of stairs to get to your room, but the staff will help with your luggage. The restaurant , Madera serves excellent food and good drinks on the beach. We had great service with our waiter,Armando. You can get a massage on the beach right next door for $25 for 90 min. If you just want to relax and enjoy the beach, you would like it here. Overall, we enjoyed our stay very much and will definitely return.

We really enjoyed our stay. We had the King Suite and the patio area was HUGE.Also enjoyed the outdor kitchen that is well equipped. The only drawbacks are the stairs! About 75 in total from the street dawn to the rooms and beach. You have to be in good shape. Also the steep hill getting up to the property (Heart Attack Hill!) The other big problem for us is that there is no pool.Sal, the manager, was absolutely amazing. Always asking if we needed anything and so kind. Would I recommend Arena Suites? Absolutely !!

Great location. At the top of a hill with an amazing view of a beautiful bay. There was a lovely infinity pool with plenty of seating options or you could swim in Madera Bay. The onsite restaurant served above average food. The service was great and everyone very friendly, always wanting to help.

Great location on La Madera Beach and easy access to the centre. The pool was wonderful overlooking the beach. Many restaurants in the area. Units had a full kitchen. Internet was excellent. It was a wonderful place but does have many steps.
