Friendly staff. Nice breakfast with a beautiful view! Nice clean beach!
Curt, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

The hotel property is ideal for exploring Zihuatanejo and the staff are very personal and friendly. The hotel should acquaint themselves to the activities in the area and promote them as activities to do i.e. pickleball, tennis, etc.
Joseph, 14-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Best shady beach area on La Ropa. Great breakfast and friendly staff. I’ll return next year.
David, 6-night trip

8/10 Very good

Best bang for the buck on La Ropa. Beach front fantastic and a great pool. The gardens are everywhere with lots of colors and fragrances. This is an Older property with lots of steps. I’d come again.
David, 10-night trip

8/10 Very good

Tranquil and charming

Overall it’s the most naturally beautiful property on La Ropa. Staff are helpful. Only drawback is lack of English of many staff members. Breakfast is great. Dinner is okay not great. Entertainment should do Mexican songs not terrible renditions of American music.
Joseph, 5-night trip

6/10 Good

The resturant and stall were what made this place. The stairs and the WiFi were the downside.

Too many stairs
Hratch, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

What a fantastic place! Lots of stairs with quite a bit of age showing, but we come here for the history and romance of a traditional Mexican hotel!
Charles, 7-night trip

4/10 Fair

Amazing views! Endless uneven stairs. Older people or someone with any health problems be aware...you have to climb all day. The rooms are very dated. Furniture, linens, pillows all are in a bad shape. Even the beach furniture are in a terrible condition. A slow and little water at the shower. The breakfast is good but it takes 1 hour. La Ropa beach is heaven.
Lee, 2-night trip

Classic Mexico, Right on the beach

This place is a classic old Mexican resort, right on the beach. Great convenient location. And pretty affordable for where it is. Lots of stairs to keep you in shape on your vacation. Staff was friendly and attentive. Watch the sunset from your deck, and go to sleep to the sound of waves.
Kameron, 6-night trip

It was great! Love a traditional mexican rustic place.
yamile, 1-night trip

On the beach, free breakfast, friendly staff. It’s great for the price. It’s a 3 star place.

8/10 Very good

The location above the accessible beach and views of the bay and sunsets are superlative. The staff was uniformly warm and gracious. The hotel is comfortable, one of the oldest in Zihuatanejo.

Really old and run down. Staff was friendly.
