Guest Reviews
- maria del carmen (9/5): - Es cómodo y limpio asi como cerca de la playa... si lo recomiendo
- Peter (6/5): Ok. - looked close to beach on map but was four times longer to get to due to beach access roads and right of ways. sheets were very thin. no mattress cover. no fridge when we checked in. went for a walk and there was a fridge in the middle of the floor that we had to walk around. there was not a dedicated space in the room for it. Sink in the bathroom was very high and set back over a foot from the edge of the counter. My adult wife had stand on a stool to wash her face.

- Tanya (9/5): We are coming back next year! - Nice hotel in a quiet location. Close to restaurants and OXXO. About a ten min walk to the beach. We booked a week again for 2026! Mexican beds are too hard! There wasn’t drinking water in the room so we bought a big jug and lugged it from the OXXO. Didn’t feel close that night.
- Keltie (8/5): Very good - Helpful staff, great location, comfortable bed, clean. Could do with some fresh paint, but clean and good value
- Barbara (8/5): - Great budget hotel with fantastic pool. Staff are lovely and good Mexican food restaurant next door
- Paul (10/5): Exceptional - I love this hotel! Especially the staff was super-friendly and helpful. It was the second time I stayed here. I loved being able to step out of my room directly into the pool area. It's just a walk of a few minutes to Playa La Ropa which is my favorite beach in the area. The staff even gave me an individual refrigerator for my room! Daily cleaning was awesome! I will definitely come back. Cannot think of anything right now.
- Brenda (10/5): - The staff are wonderful
Always helpful any way they can .
Old Mexico which we love .
Great pool quiet small hotel.
Perfect for multiply familys
Would stay again for sure
- Ronald (8/5): - Quite, friendly atmosphere and walkable to town and beach. Good value for the money.
Rooms could use a little refreshing.
- julie (4/5): - Decent Stay, but the common Kitchen facilities was a Letdown
The on-site staffs were the only 5-star part of this hotel—very friendly and helpful.
The room was basic but as expected for the price. The bed was okay, but horrible lumpy pillows. Privacy was lacking since the rooms overlook the pool and are very close together.
The biggest issue was the common kitchen—it was dirty, disorganized, and lacked essentials like plates, cups, cutlery, and glasses. There were plenty of pots, pans and had a microwave and fridge, but without basic items, it was frustrating. We suggest the hotel provide these essentials with a deposit system for guests. When traveling, you don’t want to buy kitchenware just for a short stay.
- David (2/5): - The room is in a bad state of disrepair. They do NOT provide adequate amenities (no shampoo, no cups or glasses, no coffee, etc). The room is also not what I would call clean by any stretch. There was mold in the bathroom and dirt of the shelves. The bed is extremely hard and the pillow are cheap little foam one. They do have a water cooler at the front, but you need your own cups, glasses or bottles to get some. Not a place I would ever consider staying again.
- Gail (4/5): Disappointing - Location Very old - holed in blankets
Mold on curtains
- MaryAnn (8/5): - Our room wasn't as clean as id like. It needed the floor scrubbed and some spots on the walls.
However, it was bug free!
We certainly enjoyed the pool and our outdoor area.
- Eric (6/5): - Older building.
Clean
No shampoo or conditioner
TV was not working
Great price!

- Cindy (8/5): Relaxing - Value was good. Pool very clean. Restaurant close by.
- Ruth (10/5): My favourite in Zihuatanejo. Wonderful hotel! - The staff and owner are so friendly and welcoming. It’s a little home away from him with an outdoor communal kitchen, lovely pool, garden and hammocks, and it’s a 5 minute walk to La Ropa beach. Can’t be beat! Nothing
- Jim (8/5): Very positive with the supportive staff. - pool, service provided by supportive staff.
- Ruth (9/5): Best place to stay in Zihuatanejo! - I love this little hotel. It's a family operated gem just five minutes walk to La Rosa beach. The staff are warm and welcoming and the clientele tend to be very friendly and down-home folks. Pool is wonderful and the outdoor communal kitchen is a bonus. I wouldn't stay anywhere else!! Thank you Juan, Olofio and Roberto. Nothing
- Prat (8/5): Overall, it was a very good stay. - Loved the pool and having a patio beside it. Olofio was very helpful and the cleaning lady did a lovely job in my room. Sound really travels through the hallway and sliding glass doors but it wasn't too much of an issue. The Wifi was intermitant in my room, #6.
- Clint (6/5): Pleasant - Good location
- Marietta (10/5): - Beautiful property, inviting pool that was just the right temperature. Very clean, well kept property and very clean rooms. Lovely place to stay and so close to La Ropa beach.
- Janice (8/5): Very good -
- Marcela (9/5): The pool and outdoor kitchen is great! We would stay again. Close to a beautiful beach - We loved this little hotel. The pool is great!
- Cassandra (9/5): Superb - Proximity to beach, quiet, secure, clean swimming pool. Excellent staff. Clean rooms and grounds. The fan could use cleaning , and air conditioner didn't have a controller. Internet marginal.
- Smith (6/5): Pleasant -
- Cindy (8/5): Diamond in the ruff! - We loved it. Eddie the front desk manager won hour heart on the first evening we checked in. We noticed that the bathroom floor of our unit was very wet – the toilet was leaking. We brought it to his attention & within 10 minutes he had a new water cable hooked up and the drip/leak was fixed. Awesome!
Then he saw our camping cooler – and without even asking he brought a small refrigerator into our room – once again noticing and taking the initiative – just amazing!
We would definitely be happy to stay there again – the outdoor kitchen is a nice touch – Only one thing to improve on add more glassware and more silverware.
The owner Juan, Was delightful. We can see why his employees are so wonderful – the apple does not fall far from the tree.
The place just needs a little bit of TLC – a little paint.
Thanks
KC & Cindy
- Mcintyre (8/5): Very good -
- Avery (10/5): - Relaxing and quiet location. Close to the beach, good restaurants in the area. Has an outdoor cooking are. The pool is nice to have. Great staff
- Crankycraig (9/5): Superb -
- Garrett (8/5): Very good - Great location. Close to the beach and numerous restraunts. Great transportation to the city center. . Would be nice to have a water dispenser in the rooms.
- Lorie (10/5): Loved it! - Small hotel with quiet location. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Sat on our deck every morning listening to the birds. Had a fridge in our room which was great! Water pressure was a little low in the shower but not a deal breaker
- James (7/5): You get what you pay for - The pool and location was the saving grace. No mattress covers was on the beds and the amount of dust in the room was bad.
- Alvin (9/5): Great Spot Near A Good Beach. - The staff was friendly and helpful. The room was large and well decorated, with a comfortable bed. it was a short walk to the beach, but without the foot traffic of being on the beach. The kitchen could have had better pans and utensils. one should arrive with food if they are going to cook, because there are not any groceries nearby.
- Robert (10/5): A great place, popular with travelers and local families. -
- Trenton (8/5): comfy for the traveller on a budget. - the rooms were comfy, I had good wifi, the tv worked well. the staff were very friendly and helpful. i liked that the lobby had a water jug for water bottle fills. it is very close to the beach. 5 minute walk. it has a great restaurant right next door and across the street is a jungle pizza! the rooms were quite musty and you could smell cigarettes in the hall ways from other rooms. i think this place could use a few touch ups with paint jobs. The rooms didn’t have a fridge. but they were very friendly and brought one for me!
- Lizbeth (8/5): - todo bien, de acuerdo al precio.

- Victor Hugo (8/5): Puede mejorar con poco esfuerzo - Las camas no son cómodas son algo duras nosotros éramos 4 y solo nos ponían 3 toallas y había que ir por una toalla simpre a reseepcion al principio No había agua caliente hasta que la solicitamos . Son poco amables sobre todo el personal de la mañana .
Todo muy limpio la alberca también muy limpia

- Verified traveler (8/5): - Muy buena ubicación. Excelente servicio. Lo malo fue que no hubo agua caliente en la regadera.

- consuelo (10/5): - Muy agradable la zona está dentro de la naturaleza y se encuentra muy limpio
- Verified traveler (4/5): - PEDI CANCELAR MI ESTANCIA ..POR RAZONES MUY FUERTES PERSONALES Y NO SE ME APOYO
- Luis Alonso (10/5): Exelente lugar - Increíble el trato con el personal muy amable el lugar que no es del tamaño de un hotel enorme se siente más cómodo casi como en casa,a 5 minutos de la playa caminando en una zona muy tranquila ideal para descansar
- Verified traveler (8/5): ESTANCIA MUY AGRADABLE. - EL HOTEL Y EL SERVICIO MUY BIEN. ALBERCA E INSTALACIONES LIMPIAS Y AGRADABLES. EL UNICO INCONVENIENTE ES QUE YO RESERVE DOS HABITACIONES Y SOLO ME ASIGNARON UNA, AUNQUE FUE SUFICIENTE PARA LAS PERSONAS QUE FUIMOS, AUN ASÍ HOTELES.COM DEBERÍA INFORMAR CUANDO LA RESERVACIÓN NO SE PUEDE REALIZAR CONFORME A LO QUE SE INDICA EN LA CONFIRMACIÓN.
- Verified traveler (2/5): - En el viaje a Zihuatanejo mi mamá se puso muy enferma y la hospitalizaron, ya no pude llegar solicite la cancelación que era para el día siguiente y el empleado del hotel me dijo que se cancelaba 14 días antes, si tenía una semana que había reservado, de inmediato me realizo el cargo y me contesto super grosero se mne hizo pésimo que alguien de servicio respondiera así. No volvería a reservar solo por eso
- Luis (8/5): - Excelente servicio, hospitalidad y comodidad, tal vez les falta ampliar la cobertura del wi-fi
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Great family hotel.Staff was friendly and helpful .
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Sentirse como en casa, espacios amplios, jardines bonitos, muy agradable ambiente y tranquilo, colores del hotel muy bonitos, cocina bien y la utilizamos todos los dias, justo lo que buscábamos,
- Aedan (6/5): No impressed. Cold showers - Wasn’t impressed. Booked this hotel based on reviews just for the night. Liked the near by beach but the hotel itself could really use a renovation. Couldn’t get hot water in the shower. Don’t know if it was just our room or what. Nonetheless not enjoyable when all you want to do is shower and go to bed.
- Verified traveler (6/5): - Un hotel muy sencillo,creo que hay mejorcitos poniendo un poco más de dinero,vale la pena gastar un poco más
- VTP (8/5): Bueno para unos dias - EXELENTE trató lo recomendamos ampliamente, es un hotel bueno en servicios y ubicación
- Luis (8/5): - Bien. Solamente fue x un día
- Lily (10/5): Excelente - El hotel está muy bien ubicado, hay transporte público que deja en las puertas del hotel, se puede llegar a la playa por una vereda bastante cerca. Muy limpio y el personal muy atento. El wi-fi no es bueno.
- OCTAVIO (8/5): Buen hotel cerca de la playa - Hotel cerca de la playa, lo malo las camas están en base de cemento
- Vale (6/5): Cobro doblen en el check-in - Se me hizo un cobro doble en el check-in uno al hacer la reservacion y el otro al llegar al hotel.
- Lloyd (8/5): Nice economy hotel close to La Ropa beach - Stayed for 2 nights and thoroughly enjoyed. Small pool just out side my room was clean and in good condition. Room was clean, hot water in shower, air conditioner and fan worked perfectly. Staff was friendly and very helpful given the language barrier. 3 excellent restaurants within 5 minute walk. All in all a good experience.
- chris (8/5): Great little hotel with nice pool. - The hotel has a great location for catching the little buses to go into down or the marina. Great restaurants just up the street, Jungle pizza, Sixtinos and a great Italian place a few blocks walk.
the only negative about the hotel was that, on the first day, a piece of woodwork from the closet fell down and cut and bruised my girlfriend, when I mentioned it to the staff they basically changed the subject so the conflict went away. I felt that this was very unprofessional. It would have been fair to give us a small discount or a night for free.
- Billi (6/5): Mediocre accommodations - The hotel photos were somewhat misleading. The room was generally clean and quaint but small. The bathroom was physically rundown although clean. The staff were very friendly and helpful; however only the manager could speak some English and he was not often there. Families arriving after us in adjacent rooms were extremely noisy with loud music inside and at the pool, children running and screaming everywhere, and abundant partying outside our patio door to the courtyard and the pool. There was no coffee anywhere in the room or outside, and no restaurants within less than 15-20 min walk to purchase one. We were there only one night.
- Ricardo (8/5): Hotel agradable, cerca de la playa. - El Hotel en general es bueno, no cuenta con restaurante pero esta cercano a varios, por otro lado, el camino a la playa es bastante agradable y no esta lejos.
- Verified traveler (6/5): Bonito hotel, falta limpieza - Hay que traer automóvil para visitar lo mejor de ixtapa estando aquí, deja que desear en limpieza, se disfruta la alberca, y la cocina tiene, 3 platos, una sartén, un par de cucharas.
- Verified traveler (6/5): Tranquila. - Un ambiente muy tranquilo, excelente para descansar después de estar visitando lugares en la cercanía.
- Lorrie (2/5): Horrible night - This hotel was dirty, our bed was as hard as cement and the noise was horrible. We did not sleep all night. Our room was so dirty we were afraid to get in the bed. We were booked in for 3 nights and only stayed 1 night. They would not refund our money.
- M (8/5): Quiet hotel close to beach - The hotel is clean but old, well kept, lots of hot water, nice swimming pool, attentive Mexican staff, a few restaurants within walking distance and a few blocks from the beach.
