Top Principal Beach Hotel Reviews

OYO Hotel La Playa

10/10 Excellent

"Por el precio esta muy bien"

Hilton Grand Vacations Club Zihuatanejo

10/10 Excellent

"The property was gorgeous whether day or night, Very clean and extremely kind and helpful staff. Be prepared for lots of stairs throughout the property and not many food options. Only one restaurant was available on site during our stay which serves from morning to night. Ate there once. The room service menu needs updating as many options listed from the QR code are not available. Area is not walkable and taxis only take MXN so be prepared in advance. Short ride into town. The room was a great size, lighting however is not very good and mosquitos get inside very easily as the patio doors are not fully sealed. Take bug spray unless you want to be eaten up. Be prepared for little crabs also which come in the room. The bathroom is not private at all with no door to shower or sink area so we used a towel to create some privacy. AC and fans work great to keep the room cool. We didn’t get an opportunity to use the pools as we were in town for a wedding and busy and weather was rainy also but there are 2, one for adults and one for families and many area for seating. Really enjoyed our stay and would recommend highly. We would stay here again."
