Where to stay in Zihuatanejo

Find the best Zihuatanejo areas for the activities you enjoy most.

Playa la Madera

Playa la Madera offers a golden sand beach where gentle waves create perfect swimming conditions along Zihuatanejo's picturesque shoreline. The scenic Paseo del Pescador walkway connects this tranquil area to city centre, making exploration effortless. Beachfront palapas provide welcome shade while local vendors serve fresh coconuts and grilled seafood. This charming area balances tourism with authentic Mexican coastal living. Boutique hotels and holiday rentals dot the landscape with their terracotta roofs and white stucco walls. Visitors can enjoy casual beachfront dining, sunset cocktails, and morning strolls while experiencing a more relaxed alternative to Zihuatanejo's busier beaches.

Zihuatanejo Centro

The colourful heart of Zihuatanejo Centro beats with authentic Mexican coastal charm. Local vendors fill the vibrant Municipal Market with fresh seafood and regional crafts. The picturesque malecรณn boardwalk curves along the bay, offering stunning views of fishing boats and the turquoise waters. Wander the cobblestone streets lined with colonial buildings housing family-run shops selling pottery and textiles. La Madera Beach and Playa Principal provide perfect spots for swimming in calm waters. Unlike resort-focused Ixtapa nearby, this area preserves its laid-back fishing village atmosphere and traditional cultural roots.

Playa La Ropa

Playa La Ropa offers a golden mile-long crescent of beach paradise in Zihuatanejo. This upscale coastal haven boasts turquoise Pacific waters perfect for swimming and snorkelling. Boutique hotels cascade down jungle-covered hillsides with infinity pools reflecting the ocean. Palapa-roofed restaurants line the shore where fresh seafood sizzles over open flames. Wander along sandy paths where local artisans display handwoven textiles and silver jewellery. The tranquil atmosphere creates an intimate setting for romantic sunset dining and cocktails. Though limited in public transit, the beachfront promenade invites peaceful strolls beneath swaying palms. Nature lovers will appreciate the harmonious blend of pristine beach and lush tropical vegetation.

Playa Las Gatas

This neighborhood's namesake beach is only accessible by water taxi or hiking trail. Playa Las Gatas offers a secluded beach escape from bustling Zihuatanejo. The calm turquoise waters are protected by a natural reef. Snorkellers delight in vibrant marine life while beachgoers relax under thatched palapas. Beach clubs and casual seafood restaurants line the shoreline where fishing boats bob gently nearby. Spend your day swimming in the gentle waves or browsing handmade crafts from local vendors.

Cerro del Vigia

Perched on a hillside overlooking Zihuatanejo Bay, Cerro del Vigia offers a peaceful escape from tourist crowds. The residential haven features luxury villas and holiday rentals with spectacular ocean views. Most homes showcase modern Mexican architecture with white stucco walls and expansive windows. The neighborhood's appeal lies in its tranquil atmosphere and panoramic vistas rather than attractions. You'll need transport to reach nearby Las Gatas Beach and city centre Zihuatanejo's restaurants. Morning strolls along quiet streets reward visitors with birdsong and salt-tinged breezes from the Pacific.

10/10 Excellent
"The property was gorgeous whether day or night, Very clean and extremely kind and helpful staff. Be prepared for lots of stairs throughout the property and not many food options. Only one restaurant was available on site during our stay which serves from morning to night. Ate there once. The room service menu needs updating as many options listed from the QR code are not available. Area is not walkable and taxis only take MXN so be prepared in advance. Short ride into town. The room was a great size, lighting however is not very good and mosquitos get inside very easily as the patio doors are not fully sealed. Take bug spray unless you want to be eaten up. Be prepared for little crabs also which come in the room. The bathroom is not private at all with no door to shower or sink area so we used a towel to create some privacy. AC and fans work great to keep the room cool. We didnโ€™t get an opportunity to use the pools as we were in town for a wedding and busy and weather was rainy also but there are 2, one for adults and one for families and many area for seating. Really enjoyed our stay and would recommend highly. We would stay here again."
