"This was a terrible place. I don't recommend it at all especially if travelling with minors. The hotel failed to communicate that they were cleaning the pool with chemicals. There was no sign or notice. We took our children for a early swim when all the sudden our kids started coughing. We got out immediately and the children ended up having a horrible reaction to the pool chemicals. We had to call a doctor due to the rashes. It was a terrible experience for us.

Top Playa la Madera Hotel Reviews

Thompson Zihuatanejo, A Beach Resort, by Hyatt

10/10 Excellent

"This place is a absolute must-visit if you are traveling to Zihuatanejo! The rooms are spacious, spotless, and cleaned twice a day—meaning you always have fresh towels and toiletries without even having to ask. The food was incredible; every single dish I ordered exceeded my expectations. If you love pasta, you have to try the chicken or shrimp Alfredo! A special shoutout to Antonio at the bar, who was incredibly friendly and attentive. Honestly, the entire restaurant and bar staff gave 100% to ensure we had a great experience."

Hilton Grand Vacations Club Zihuatanejo

8/10 Good

"The rooms are nice but if you have a mobility issue be careful there’s a lot of stairs. They do have a shuttle that can take up all the way to top but there’s still a lot of stairs to take to the actual room. The beach near by is beautiful and we were in in all day long didn’t go to the pool at all."

Sunscape Dorado Pacifico Ixtapa Resort & Spa - All Inclusive

8/10 Good

"The staff was amazing! Everyone was helpful and attentive. The rooms were clean, can't complain there. The only thing that I would have wanted would have been a greater variety of food at the buffet restaurant other than that the Views were amazing from my room. Overall I had a very good experience at this resort. The activities at the pool were a lot of fun as well. One Last thing, if you are planning on a relaxing stay, this might not be the hotel for you, we stayed Friday through Monday and every night there was Disco Club night so there was music playing until 12 midnight and the next day, Saturday, until 1 am. I was traveling with my elderly parents so this was something we didn't like."
