"Everything is perfect at Aura del Mar. We prefer the Superior Suite because of the extra room and the elevated view. The pool area is excellent with plenty of shade. Another few steps and you are on the beach! The restaurant has amazing food. We loved the nightly happy hour on the sunset viewing deck. Abel treats his customers like family. Roxy at the front desk and Carlos who books excursions are both helpful and making every guest feel at home."

Top Zihuatanejo Hotel Reviews

Ensueño De Fuga

10/10 Excellent

"Esuano de Fuga feels like being a guest in someone’s dream villa. Tucked into a peaceful, nature-filled setting with beautiful ocean views, it’s perfectly located between Playa Maderas and Playa Ropa. The high-quality, brand-new e-bikes available for rent were a true highlight of our stay. It made us explore almost effortless considering the hills! Christian, the owner, truly made our stay memorable, together with his warm and welcoming staff. And the croissants/pastries/breads! Absolutely out of this world — worth waking up early for, even on vacation. We felt at home from the moment we arrived. Highly recommend — we’ll definitely be back!"

Catalina Beach Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Staff was exceptional right from our check in with Luis to our numerous attentive wait staff and cleaners. I would especially compliment Paulo for the amazing massage. Many folks may be hesitant about the number of steps but I assure you the views make it all worth while. Large rooms with beautiful decks and a pool & happy hour bar you will not get anywhere else! Loved it all."
