Amenities & Room:
The beds were very comfortable and the A/C in each bedroom worked great
Having each room on its own level gives a great sense of privacy and space if and when you need it and the main pool and outdoor living area is a fantastic spot to congregate
This property is unique because it feels more like a hotel with cleaners coming in every morning to tidy up the Kitchen and living space and every other day to clean the rooms
as well You will not be disappointed
The rooms and bathrooms seem a bit outdated with the trend for more contemporary and clean designs but the space and view more than make up for this
Host:
They are very friendly and always willing to assist in any way they can
The pool man comes every day as well to clean the pool
They also check in on you every now and then and turn all of the lights on and off for you each evening Gabriel
Location:
It truly is the best location in town because you can walk to awesome La Ropa Beach in one direction (5 minute walk) and into Zihuatanejo town in the other direction (15-20 minute walk)
It was very convenient to walk upstairs to the restaurant for breakfast in the mornings and was a great way to start off the day
This was our first visit to Zihuatanejo and were drawn to this Villa for its location and view and it did not disappoint
but that was never an issue
I had some reservations about being below a restaurant for fear of noise carrying down into the Villa

5. Epic villa with panoramic scenery (from USD 406)

From the moment you look from the windows to see Zihuatanejo Bay and, across the water, the Sierra Madre Mountains, you’ll be captivated by this accommodation. Named “Estrella de Mar” (Star of the Sea), this charming villa with a gourmet kitchen has everything going for it. Close to a fishing village and served by an excellent market where you can find splendid jewelry, this is the kind of accommodation that comes to mind when you hear the word “idyllic”. If you want meals prepared, you need only ask the hosts, or you might want to try a local restaurant for a traditional dining experience.

6. Bayview villa close to everything (from USD 365)

When you’re staying in Zihuatanejo, it’s fair to say that even an average accommodation will look stunning thanks to the incredible scenery all around. So when you get a villa as independently splendid as this four-bedroom, eight-guest residence, what you get is beauty on top of beauty. Artisan furnishing and decor inside, with a 34-foot (10-meter) infinity pool outdoors, this is a delightful accommodation where you can request a cook service or use the excellent gourmet kitchen yourself. With access to private tennis courts and bike paths, it’s a wonderful spot for the sporty.
