Find Playa la Madera hotels

Beautiful over looking beach.

Loved it

The taxi cab drivers need to learn where the restaurants are located. That is their fricking job. How hard could that be. Don't drop us off on the wrong side of the bridge and say El Pescador is down the pedestrian walkway, when it is nowhere close. Also, know when restaurants are closed for the slow season. Where is their Chamber of Commerce?

Casa de Quixote was delightful! For our group of 6 we each had our own space to relax or be together in the indoor/outdoor entertainment space. The proximity to beaches and town is fantastic. We loved sitting by the pool and taking walks along the ocean on the path to town.

My 9 year old son and I stayed at Aura del Mar for Spring Break 2024. While the hotel is not kid focused or running over with screaming kids, it is kid friendly. The pool area is lovely, with plenty of different lounging areas in the shade. It's a bonus that the excellent and reasonably priced Bistro Del Mar is on the beach level, as they were consistently delivering food and drinks up to guests at the pool. I considered it to be in the ideal location in Zihuatanejo, as it's a 10 minute walk north to the city center. Along the way, there are several highly regarded restaurants. Plus, Maderas right next door on the beach is also a great spot. Additionally, there are some true gem restaurants and coffee shops within several blocks of the hotel itself. In the other direction is Playa Ropa, which is a 15-20 minute walk, first uphill and then down. The cabs were 450 MXN (about $28) each way, about a 15-20 minute drive. As others have said, it's nice that there's a small convenience store across the street for room necessities. The hotel provides plenty of bottled and filtered water at no cost. We didn't have any luck being able to book any excursions ahead of time, but the concierge Carlos was able to get us set up with fishing, zip lining and the sea turtle experience. The rooms overall had everything needed - a working air conditioner, Wifi, and cable TV. We enjoyed playing cards on our balcony before heading out to dinner.
