Swim-up Rooms & Private Pools in Zihuatanejo

Loved our 7 day stay. Room was great , bed extremely comfortable.our balcony space and plunge pool was fantastic. 360 view of the bay. Staff extremely helpful, knowledgeable and very friendly. Service was impressive in the restaurant as well as the food.

Hilton Zihuatanejo is an amazing property. We had an ocean view studio. The bedroom was very nice but the jewel was the huge balcony patio with dipping pool. The view was so gorgeous and peaceful. All the staff were so helpful and welcoming. Loved the swim up bar and pool right next to the beach. Several restaurants within short walk and town close enough to walk or take a short taxi ride. Definitely would return to this beautiful hotel resort!!

Do not hesitate and book this resort. Loved this resort. As soon as you walk in to check in they great you with a wet towel that smells like tranquility and a cold chilled water bottle to quench your thirst - and if you are here in a July you know you need it. We arrived super early and Rigoberto gave us bracelets to have access to the pool and beach area and held on to our luggage. He had our room faster than expected. Rooms are cozy cute and fresh. Food is delish. Alcoholic drinks are amazing and the beach rest area was more than you can imagine. The vibe of the resort is family oriented, yet you don’t see kids running around. The pool area was where the party was !! We did not eat at the restaurant, yet the locals do suggest to do so as their menu and food is superb. And I trust the locals. Amazing and friendly staff from the driver to the security gentleman that gave us a lesson on the turtle eggs. We will be back !

Staff — excellent. Food — very good. Location — amazing. But two minor quibbles. 1. Bar closes at 6 — right when I start thinking about a cocktail. There is a space above the reception that is set up like a bar but was never open the two times we stayed there. 2. Rooms are luxurious but there is no glass in the windows/doors so when it is hot (most of the time in Zihuatanejo) you have all the shutters closed for A/C so no view at all. But we had a lovely time. If you don’t care about a bar and plan to spend all your time poolside or beachside, it’s perfect!

This is a beautiful property on Playa La Ropa. Our room--king bed with living room, small kitchen, 2 baths, large patio--was wonderful! Great pools and lovely well-maintained beach area. All of the small thatched hut restaurants on the beach are close as well as more fancy restaurants just a few blocks down the street. Downtown is very walkable from the resort. Although there were not a lot of activities at the resort, we really enjoyed the market visit and the cooking class that was provided. We would love to come back again to Embarc Zihua!!

Everything. We come back every year. Love the people who work there, the two pools(one infinity) the other a natural salt water one. Rooms are gorgeous. Try to get one which has its own private pool.

We loved the stunning architecture of the hotel built on the side of the hill over looking the Pacific Ocean. Our suite was gorgeous with a lovely terrace overlooking the bay with two comfortable lounge chairs and our own private pool. The food and drinks were delicious. Our bed was very comfortable with nice sheets. The staff were friendly and very attentive.

I love the architecture of this property and the fact that it’s only a few rooms makes it more intimate. The staff is what truly sells this hotel. They are 100/10. So kind, attentive, and very good at their jobs. They go the extra mile explaining things & making sure you are comfortable. Once we went into the pool, two minutes later they came with iced water to help us cool down & hydrate. They replace towels outside the pool area as soon as we take one. The amenities are gorgeous and everything stays spotless. Not once did I see anything unkept. There is a private pathway to the beach which makes it convenient to go out and enjoy the waves.

Staff were wonderful and helpful! The salt water pool was amazing! My room was super amazing with its own pool and outdoor area.

Breakfast was a highlight each day. Beautifully presented and absolutely delicious. Staff remembered our name and were caring and kind - very high end 5-star service, esp from front desk and housekeeping. Adorable animal designs on bed each night, made with flowers and leaves. And the ultimate was the salt water pool way down by the rocks. I ordered margaritas there each day, read my book, relaxed, swam, and it all felt deeply restorative. Locational absolutely cannot be beat. Direct beach access to La Ropa but only 5 min walk to Madeira. You have all the options of meals on the La Ropa side and in El Centro all with a nice walk - or a $5 taxi for when you want to give your legs a rest. Sunset drinks at roof bar with acoustic Mexican music 2x per week. And an awesome gym with inspiring views - this exceeded my expectations. Oh -

Amazing views, swim up pool to room and great service. Close to town so $5 or less taxi’s available everywhere and no one trying to sell you things all day every day.

The pool, access to beach and service felt magical.

Hands down the best service I have received at any hotel I've visited (and I've been to a lot). The team here was so incredibly helpful, kind, accommodating, they went above and beyond and truly thought of everything for our stay. The property was spotless and beautiful, safe and relaxing, our room with a private plunge pool was very spacious and beautifully decorated, and my facial at the spa was heaven. This is a rare gem, a 5 star stay for a very fair price, and we cannot wait to return as often as possible! Big thank you to the staff, especially Christina, Juan, Jorge and the others :)

Such a great resort! Everyone was amazing - from front desk staff to everyone on the beach/restaurants. The rooms were really comfortable, clean and well maintained. The food by the beach is actually reasonably priced (obviously much more than eating in town) and actually really good and lots of healthy options. The security team even pulled grabbed us while walking to a restaurant nearby at night to watch a turtle lay its eggs, and shared other local tips, etc. Such a relaxing and special experience. Highly recommend the swim up suites - no better way to start your day then to have coffee on your balcony and jump right into the pool.

Hello! I have been there six times! It’s the third time they change ownership! The facility is to die for however I miss the previous ownership! They need more waiters! The waiters they have are the best in Mexico! The food was delicious however I miss the Mexican traditional food they use to have! Our favorite thing to do at the hotel was to watch sports on the pool when we walked in on Thursday there was no tv I had to ask for them to put it up which they did! What o lovea about this hotel is service!!!!!! No other hotel has it as good as this one! I feel they could do more with there beautiful facility! Miss the ping pong table! They need to re open the restaurant behind the tv pool! The massages on the beach are amazing had one every day!

Incredible view, great location, fantastic amenities, top-notch service. Seriously, we did a bunch of research, and even when we were there we couldn't find any spots with a better view and location. The penthouse with a private balcony pool was phenomenal. All the pools are softwater, so no nasty chemicals running your hair and skin. We went in the off-season so there was only one other couple there. They have 2 large pools and a restaurant up top. They also gave us a complimentary 20 liter just of water with a dispenser. This is the only place we will ever stay if we get to come back to Zihuatanejo.

We enjoyed our stay at Villas San Sebastián. I liked that there was a locked door at street level to access the grounds. The villas are located on a hillside, so you must be able to climb stairs, ranging from about 30 stairs to 100, depending on your villa’s location. All villas have an outdoor kitchen, bedroom and bathroom with shower. Our villa, No. 6, was nicely tiled but could use some updating. The view of the bay from our terrace was sensational. The walk-in closet was not air conditioned and had a small opening with bars and a damaged screen, so we did not keep our clothing in there and pretty much kept clothing in our suitcases. The pool is small but clean. While we were there, a new pool complete with bar and small restaurant opened, but it is located near the top of the hill. We easily walked to shops and restaurants near and on Playa La Ropa. The walk back was uphill. All in all, I think this property provides good value in a central, off-the-beach location.

Everything! The location - right at the entrance down to La playa Ropa Beach! Our villa with the outside veranda to eat and overlook La Playa Ropa. Luis and his wife that ensured all was well with us! The swimming pool! Even though the weather was very hot and humidity was high our room was very comfortable with the air. The hot water was instant. Also the people that we met there that come all the time welcomed us and helped us get around! Staying at San Sebastián was the best part of our trip!

I can’t say enough good things about this property. The room was spotless and kept that way by the team of housekeepers. The room was large with a king sized bed, sitting area and kitchen area and had its own terrace which provided an incredible view of Zihuatanejo Bay and La Ropa beach. The pool was very inviting and sparkling clean. The beach is only about a 5-10 minute walk. I wouldn’t hesitate to stay there again!

Great views, safe, few guests, pool, impeccable grounds, new restaurant top of property, OXXO close by, several great restaurants including Jungle Pizza and Trattoria Gianni. La Ropa beach, Thompson resort steps away. Taxis cheap and plentiful. A couple suggestions: a welcome list w wifi info, atm locations, coffee and soda to get you started. Tips: carry small bills for tips, tote bag for groceries etc. Top units best to mitigate street noise. Loved our stay!!

We loved everything! It felt like coming home to visit family. All the staff was amazing. The architecture of this space has such a dreamy vibe. We had pool service everyday. Cynthia booked massages, dinner reservations, taxis, and had laundry service prepped for us. Marta makes the best ham sandwiches and margaritas. Irvin was so helpful with our room necessities making sure we were nice and cool. We had the pleasure of meeting the owners of the property and their friends. They were so welcoming and we enjoyed their company. We enjoyed their recommendations! Happy Birthday to Hugh and Duane! Thank you for sharing your cake with me! 😎

Great boutique hotel. Rooms are spacious and well appointed with a complete kitchen. Pool and garden area is nice and relaxing. The staff is very accommodating and extremely kind --answered all my questions and provided everything I needed. Location is ideal for access to La Ropa beach and all of Zihuatanejo. A very relaxing experience.

Staff was very friendly. Room was private and also opened up to the pool. Room was large and comfortable. Short walk to the beach

Staff, convenience, amenities, cleanliness & up keep, beautiful pool, calm, relaxing, quiet & fun!!

Stunning and spotless villa hotel with a gorgeous pool. It felt like a true oasis! The rooms are beautifully decorated too. We loved being able to order wonderful food from the room service menu — BEST margaritas ever! You’re only a few moments from the beach too.

This was an incredible place. Very clean and comfortable, we had room 11 on the top floor with the private soaker tub. Absolutely amazing view of the whole town, Bay, and ocean. We were gobsmacked when we arrived. We loved the pool and spent a lot of time there. When we were there we almost always had the pool to ourselves and the other guests were always quiet and chill. Very comfy place. At night the view of the lights of town is just gorgeous. We did a night swim almost every night and the pool makes you feel like you're floating over the town. Watching the sunrise every morning was amazing as well. Very comfy beds. Great a/c. WiFi was good in half the room, wouldn't work in our bedroom. Tv was great when we needed it. Really lovely place.

Everything. This was just what we have been looking for when we travel to Zihuatanejo. It is quiet, which is imported to us. Having a kitchenette was great. The pool is clean and well maintained. The best part is the view!!

The view was spectacular. The room was ideal. Having a pool on the property was fantastic. Decent water pressure. Great housecleaning. Great laundry service. The fridge worked effectively. Getting a breeze through the opened windows was a bonus.

Location was perfect, the hotel and rooms are beautiful and very quiet. They are much better in person than in pictures!!! The pool at night is truly amazing. Staff is kind and helpful. Everything was perfect.

The property is beautifully maintained with lovely gardens and pool. Great view. Stayed in the economic room, not fancy but comfortable with a nice little porch area outside which was shaded.

Gino was great as well as the rest of the staff the food and pool were top notch. A nice centralized location

Walking distance to town. Beautiful pools, comfy bed.fridge in room
