The property has that original charm but could definitely use some maintenance and subtle upgrades. Staff were very friendly but the restaurant service wasn’t that great. Rooms are a good size and the balcony’s also large with great views. Could use a bit better deep clean with regards to the dirt build up on the fans and cobwebs in corners. All in all I would stay here again as the location is great, price is good, and the food was quite 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.

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.

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.

Good things: I really liked it was on a hill with so many plants and the hotel is by the beach. Almost all the staff was very helpful and such hard workers. I had a problem with the front desk, but at the end they helped me. The view was beautiful and you can hear the ocean all the time from the room. The rooms have terraces and hamacs. Bad things: It was very challenging to have so many steps that were uneven,I don't mind having steps but those are unsafe and dangerous for walking. The room I originally booked was in very bad shape, no maintenance for years (broken tiles, toilet not working properly, broken walls, rusty fridge inside and outside, moldy tiles, etc) and the worst is that it was dirty! There is no bathroom by the beach, you have to walk 50 steps up and then down. The internet NEVER worked. The maintenance of the whole hotel is in poor condition.
