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.

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 malecón 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.
