A Review on Thompson Zihuatanejo in Mexico
"Set in Zihuatanejo overlooking Playa la Ropa, this intimate resort feels like a storybook village with meandering paths, oversized straw-thatched roofs, quirkily shaped windows and chic, dark-neutral interiors. Rooms (56 total) are thoughtfully designed—high ceilings, exposed beams, black-and-white palettes—and each includes either a private plunge pool or a terrace, so there’s effectively “no bad room.” The Lagoon Suite is a mid-range highlight with an oversized layout, sunken living room and a luxurious rainfall shower stocked with D.S. & Durga amenities. The property leads directly to a clean, calm Playa la Ropa and offers two pools (an adults-only infinity pool with beach views and a family pool), complimentary beach chairs and umbrellas with attentive beachside service, plus tennis courts, a compact gym and a well-regarded spa. Dining is focused but strong: Hao serves inventive takes on classics (think cacao-blended açaí bowls and passionfruit-drizzled fruit plates), while Ceniza emphasizes wood-fire cooking, local produce and fresh-caught fish, with plenty of oysters and ceviche. The overall vibe skews toward couples seeking rest and relaxation rather than nightlife; practical perks include fast Wi‑Fi, in-room dining, turndown service, robes/slippers and resort credits/offers, with rates starting around $70/night and the city center roughly a 10-minute drive away."
