Amuleto Villa

Nestled into the hillside above Zihuatanejo, the Amuleto is exceptionally well designed and decorated with each room having their own terrace, hammock and private pool. Many rooms also have private outdoor showers. The views and the food are spectacular, and the friendliness and helpfulness of everyone on staff is on par with the best anywhere (and we've traveled to more than 70 countries). The chef is excellent and we enjoyed both the quality and presentation of the food -- it's unlike anywhere else. A different breakfast special everyday and a variety of freshly made juices and fruits are presented every morning. They are also wonderful at saying if you don't like today's special, order whatever you want! One of our favorites was the avocado toast topped by two perfectly poached eggs, cherry tomatoes and bean sprouts. Although it's a healthy walk to get into town, taxis are abundant and quite willing to both collect you at the Amuleto and bring you back there at an average of 90 pesos each way. Don't miss an opportunity to stay here!

Amuleto has the best view in all of zihuatanejo! The rooms are better than the pictures, I can't say enough about the staff; it was almost as if we had the whole place to ourselves the whole time. The food for every meal is made right then and there and is exquisite. If you are here visiting just for dinner, I would bring a light jacket, as you are up a little higher and there is a slight breeze. Make sure you book dinner in time for the sunset and then watch the sky change for the next 30 minutes. I highly suggest the octopus as an appetizer, which I don't normally eat anything like that and the tuna for your main.

One of Zihuatanejo’s finest dining experiences- the service is exceptional and the food is delicious. The menu offers fresh local items all with an inventive twist. Seafood lovers and meat eaters will both be pleased. The chilled tomato soup hit the spot on a warm evening and the tuna steak couldn’t have been fresher.

Most relaxing stay EVER! We just returned from 7 nights at Amuleto and it was wonderful! What a great resort. We felt very safe and the staff was wonderful. Beautiful sunset views from every spot in the resort. Our room was the best I have ever had. So cool having your own sun patio and dip pool and an outdoor shower, very special. Elma, Vivi, and Jacobo made sure every need was met. We ate breakfast lunch and dinner there and it was all to gourmet standards. All of the staff cared and it shows. We have never felt so welcome at a resort. It was the perfect size to keep safe during a pandemic. I swam laps in the pool every morning, it is just the right size. For the most part, the resort is quiet with only the smallest noise coming from the road below. But being up that high made the views very worth it. Gorgeous! Make sure you ask for a very affordable in-room massage. We will return as soon as we have the chance to. November was a great month to go.

Gorgeous view! Great service, delicious food! Three course set menu, great options, could be slightly larger mains. Wine expensive but that is usually the case in Mexico, opt for cocktails instead :)

This place is the top shelf for Zihuatanejo. Perfect setting removed from the main town, very romantic rooms - and an excellent restaurant. Came 17 years ago when it first opened - and it’s just as great today.

We spent Valentines Day at Amuleto Restaurant. The menu was a fixed 5 course meal. The food was amazing. The amuse bouche was a ceviche that made our head turn. The great service made for a fun and delightful evening. The romance factor of this place was a 10+.

Exceptional hotel and restaurant experience. We've been back nine times in 7 years. That says it all. The staff attends to every detail and makes every effort imaginable to meet our needs and create an exceptional personalized luxury experience. Year after year The restaurant menu is reinvented as is the specialty cocktail menu. The very good Mexican wines are a must. Love love the design and layout of the property and the breathtaking views are best of the best in this area. We love the massage and also use the gym on site as well as take advantage of the staff's recommendations for beach areas, fishing, other restaurants. But really, we come here to totally relax and be pampered in an absolutely ideal environment. Thank you Amuleto and all of our friends there including the lovely Ticci and Keith. We'll be back!!!
