Pet friendly Hotels Zihuatanejo

What happens when you combine the best food, fabulous views, wonderful rooms, and a fantastic staff? Tentaciones Hotel & Lounge / Tentaciones Restaurant (two listings in Trip Advisor) We’ve visited Tentaciones for dinner several times in the past and always left believing they were the best restaurant in Zihuantanejo. They treated us like family, remembered us from year to year and delivered impeccable service with great food and drink. Nothing has changed, it remains the best restaurant we know in Zihua. But this time we stayed at the hotel. Four rooms, all beautiful, each with their own character, make it hard to choose. No matter, we would love any of them. And staying the night just reinforces the personal level of service from the staff, Carmen, Salvatore, Chai, Pablo, Oscar, and the rest, treating us like special guests of the family. We can’t wait to return.

We love this place, can’t fault it. The ambience, the staff, maybe not all the steps and the drive way, they aren’t for the feint hearted so think again if you have breathing problems or a difficulty walking!!! Having said that they have golf carts and are very accommodating but if you have problems talk to them before booking. 1 problem we found which will only get worse now that it is Hilton is that the Hilton group have a far larger reach meaning there will be more people trying to book the same number of rooms. We were lucky being able to get 2 weeks but had to go somewhere else in the middle week. If you can get in you will love it as we do. Finally everyone complains about the people dumping a towel and a book on a beach chair. Fine if you are going to walk the beach and then sit in it, or have a meal and sit back but it is becoming frequently noticed that some people just put the towels down and head out for 4-5 hours ant that is just rude but unfortunately the same all over the world despite the notes by the chairs no one enforces the rule about towels etc being removed after 1 hours absence!

The staff was so friendly, especially Johnny, Isaac and Lily. The restaurant and pool service was excellent. We loved the pools and the view from the hotel is breathtaking. When we booked the hotel, we booked breakfast too but unfortunately when we arrived they said the included breakfast is only for the parents. So we were definitely surprised by that. Our only complaint is that we were charged twice for an upgrade to an Oceanview room and they did not refund the double charge and we stopped hearing from them when they said they would look into it.

The most important thing for me on a holiday is to be on a beach where I can swim in the sea. I don't know how Zihuatanejo is not better known in the world, as in particular Playa La Ropa is one of the most stunning locations I have ever visited. The beach is perfect but it is how it is set in a bay with spectacular scenery all around that really makes it. This hotel is right on the beach, with a nice pool and beachside area and restaurant. One night we even had a huge turtle wander up and make a nest against the wall of the restaurant. For a reasonably-priced hotel, the rooms are spacious, with a large shower, and the beds are prefect for me as they appear to made of solid concrete. Some people have complained about the WiFi. I admit I lost connection occasionally but then it was possible to connect to what I assume it the WiFi for the conference part. In any case, this place is Paradise and it's nice to switch off from the outside world. Staff for the most part were pretty quiet but friendly when you spoke to them. This is very much a place where older Americans, younger couples without kids, and families come, and many of them seem to be regulars. Staff seem to be more friendly with them but that's only to be expected and when I got talking to some regulars, staff were a lot friendlier with me (not that they were unfriendly before). I have seen it said that this part of Zihuatanejo is quiet and that there are not many options for food etc. Firstly, the quiet part is a good thing for a relaxing holiday and there are other restaurants along the beach. Paty's next door is great for breakfast, lunch and dinner, with really friendly staff and all manner of water activities to book. The hotel restaurant however is amazing and the food some of the best I have ever had. One of the beef dishes with fried plantains was especially noteworthy.
