Curt, 3-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

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

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!

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

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.

Ok
Chrystyan Alexys, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

A charming old hotel. Great location and excellent service. A bit shabby but that gives it character. Great views of La Ropa from our deck, the bar and the restaurant. Good breakfast included in room rate. Lots of stairs up and down from the beach so might be difficult for those with mobility issues.
Calla, 7-night trip

6/10 Good

Really old and run down. Staff was friendly.
Patrick, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Staff excellent and room was nice and clean. Grounds are ok but not manicured which was ok. Right on the beach.
Allen, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

It's right on the beach, palapas for shade and wonderful staff providing food service there. The gorgeous pool was a nice alternative to beach swimming. This is a mid-century hotel with fantastic touches, grounds and history. There are LOTS of stairs, fyi. Go to an Ixtapa all-inclusive if you want sterile and impersonal staff! This place has charming character. A gem with great breakfasts, a sunset view bar and restaurant and friendly staff. Why ever leave?
Alison, 7-night trip

8/10 Very good

This property has a fabulous view of La Ropa beach. It is quite old and charming and rustic. There are hundreds of stairs to anyplace on this resort, so it’s not ideal for anyone with mobility issues. The staff and location make this resort wonderful, but the stairs are EVERYWHERE….

The 270 step to the beach would be tough for anyone not in shape or with a physical disability
