This hardly resembles a beach, all little rocks, no sand to really speak of.

We are back for another stay. 2 weeks this time.

Nice place

If you are in the area, one of the best restaurants in walking distance is El Mediterraneo. A Zhiua favorite dinner spot for local and informed tourists alike.

(Translated by Google) The main June 2022 A very quiet beach to go for a walk in the afternoon, there are nice restaurants in the area and above all there is a lot of space to lie down on the beach, Agusto is great, the waves are calm and the sand is very soft, there are no stones, beautiful beach (Original) La principal Junio 2022 Una playa bien tranquila para ir a caminar por la tarde , hay bonitos Restaurantes por la zona y sobre todo hay mucho espacio para poder acostarte en la playa , se pasa Agusto , las olas tranquilas y la arena es muy suave , no hay piedras , bonita playa

(Translated by Google) Apparently, it's the only pet-friendly beach there. It's super quiet, with few people, the waves are calm, and off the beach there are plenty of places to eat, get coffee, ice cream, buy souvenirs, etc. The people here are very laid-back and friendly. (Original) Al parecer es la única plata Petfriendly que hay. Es súper tranquila, poca gente, el oleaje es tranquilo y saliendo de la playa hay muchos lugares para comer, tomar café, helado, comprar recuerdos, etc. Las personas de aquí son muy tranquilas y amables.

(Translated by Google) You can walk peacefully while racist American tourists criticize you in their own language and glare at you because they think they own the place. Other than that, it's very beautiful, but it has a lot of trash because of the visitors. Night falls and you can continue swimming because the waters are calm and the views are beautiful. (Original) Se puede caminar tranquilamente mientras los turistas estadounidenses racistas que te critican en su idioma y miran con odio porque se creen dueños del lugar,quitando eso es muy bonito,pero tiene mucha basura por culpa de los que le visitan. Llega la noche y puedes seguir nadando porque sus aguas son tranquilas y tiene vistas muy lindas.

It's a bit of a walk down a rugged trail. Small horse shoe bay with crystal clear water with lots of fish to see in the ruins

Amazing and quiet place where you can relax because it doesn't get as populated as the other beaches because of its location being almost hidden.

Fun cobble stone beach with gentle waves and beautiful scenery. Unfortunately the owners of the adjacent Villa Luna Kuku have destroyed the natural beauty of half the beach with an ugly stone patio. 🤦

Locals hang out . Don’t go Sunday;)

Beautiful little bay with interesting geology, pebble beach, clear water. Great paddle from la ropa beach

Tried to walk there but seems the area is private access only.

Nice little plc to visit Not many people know about it.

(Translated by Google) Very good attention from all the staff, incredible fishing trip and food prepared on the spot 👍🏼 (Original) Muy buena atención de parte de todo el staff, increíble la salida a pescar y la comida preparada al momento 👍🏼

8:00am Sunday Mass Precious, Beautiful Come early, always filled and overflowing!

I did not and would not visit this place.

Beautiful church

Serenity

(Translated by Google) Beautiful church, not only the temple, but the parishioners too. Everyone praying the rosary before the 8 a.m. mass on Sunday. A very edifying homily from the father. (Original) Bonita iglesia, no solo el templo, sino los feligreses también. Todos rezando el rosario antes de la misa de 8 de la mañana del domingo. Una homilía muy edificante por parte del padre.

(Translated by Google) It's very close to the beach, which makes it feel very hot on Sundays. They've already included plastic benches, so those of us who don't have enough space inside can sit outside without any problem. The entire building itself is very well maintained. (Original) Está muy cerca de la playa y eso hace que se sienta mucho calor los domingos. Ya incluyeron bancos de plástico por lo que la gente que no alcanzamos espacio adentro podemos sentarnos afuera sin problema. Todo el edificio en si está muy bien conservado.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful temple, small, in my many experiences, the people of Zihuatanejo, a marvel 👍🏼👍🏼👣🥳👍🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 (Original) Bonito templo, pequeño, en mis múltiples experiencias, la gente de Zihuatanejo, una maravilla 👍🏼👍🏼👣🥳👍🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

This is my third winter in Zihua. I've eaten at La Gula several times while I have been here. The service as always top notch, and the owners are wonderful people. There are many good restaurants in town, but the food is definitely exceptional at La Gula.

I’ve been coming to Zihuatanejo since 2011 and have eaten at dozens of restaurants from super high end to street corners, and this was by far the best meal I’ve ever had. The octopus starter was superb. The whole fish (red snapper) was perfectly cooked and accompanied with subtle yet delicious vegetables. My wife had the Mahi Mahi with shrimp in a corn sauce…unbelievable. Service was amazing and the desert just to die for. Reservation for our last night already made. Skip the foo foo and make a reservation here. You won’t be disappointed.

We had a really wonderful and special experience here. The couple who own and run the place, one the chef and the other in the dining area, were absolutely lovely and gracious. The service was excellent. Pacing was gentle but fast and respectful. Food was excellent and inventive and presentation was outstanding. Bread was provided free, prices were very good, and the location is charming and has an elevated small town atmosphere. Reminds us of hillside Italian towns on the northern Mediterranean coast. Thank you to La Gula.

This is probabely the best place in Zihua for an outstanding dinner experience. The couple who run the place does everything to make it an unforgetable experience. The prices of the dishes aren't overpriced and the prices of the beverages are also very reasonable. The head waiter does an excelent job and the service was perfect👌 We had a cocktail, a starter, main dish and desert and a bottle of whine. I will definitely go back there very soon.

I went there for dinner and had the chef special which was excellent. The service was spot-on and the atmosphere was very nice with a cool evening breeze. Good selection of well-prepared food. You should give it a try.

We have ate at a few places in zihuatanejo and this is was the best. I don't write reviews but I felt very compelled to do so. This place offers luxurious food and service but at very good price. You could tell the owner wanted to showcase love for her guests. The Margareta was the best I've had in mexico and I have been here 3 times. The service felt like a very fine dinning experience. The food was clean and very well thought of. This chef went to school forsure. No view of the bay but with this kind of food you don't need it. I Strongly recommend this place to anybody.

The best restaurant in zihua! Everything we so delicious and the service was next level! Wish we ate here every night during our stay. The mahi mahi with shrimp and the seared tuna steak were perfectly seasoned and cooked. The spinach salad with grilled pear was a delight. And the compound butter served with banana bread was out of this world. I appreciated they poured an Italian Pinot Grigio by the glass.

The most delicious food in all of Zihuatanejo. Family run for over 18 years, the love they put into every dish and the service is palpable. The chilaquiles were exceptional and the off the bone pork ribs were out of this world. The coffee is amazing too. I travelled around the whole of Mexico and this place stands out. It’s no wonder they are in the best 250 restaurants in Mexico. Award winning quality. Enjoy!

We had an exceptional breakfast experience at Carmelita’s Café, and I can now see why it’s so beloved by locals and visitors alike. Everything we ordered was deeply satisfying and beautifully prepared — starting with the tongue (lengua), which was incredibly tender and flavorful, accompanied by a chipotle sauce that was smoky, rich, and absolutely perfect. The pancakes were light and fluffy — among the best I’ve had in Mexico — and the elote tamal was soft, warm, and bursting with corn flavor. We also tried two prehispanic drinks, pozol and tescalate, which were a fascinating and delicious window into regional culinary traditions. It’s rare to find a place that offers this kind of deep cultural food experience in such an accessible and inviting way. The setting is also worth mentioning — a lovely open-air patio full of life and energy, with a mix of locals and travelers. And most memorably, the owner came by to chat with us — warm, thoughtful, and clearly passionate about excellence, local ingredients, and honoring the culinary heritage of the region. This is not just breakfast — it’s a cultural experience. Highly recommended. Come hungry and curious. You’ll be very glad you did.

Very good atmosphere, the place is very nice many locals eat here, and the food was outstanding 👌! Had the "Rabo de res a la Pasilla" 👍👍👍, and we also had the green chilaquiles, all food was great! Highly recommended!

A delightful breakfast experience. Customers are a mix of tourists and locals. Coffee con canela is hot and fresh, served with milk, American coffee also available. Made in house pan dulce is offered on a dessert cart wheeled to your table after drinks are served. The most special sweet bread is the incredible cinnamon roll, which our server was very proud to offer. I am so glad we took her up on it, because it was soft and just, mmmm *chef's kiss* perfecto! Staples like eggs mexicana, huevos rancheros, and motuleños are on the menu, along with fresh juices, milk fruit smoothies, fresh fruit plates with yogurt, and so much more. Coffee is roasted in house and offered for sale as whole beans or freshly ground. Highly recommend you try Carmelita's for breakfast or brunch!

Everything was good! The servers are extremely dedicated on making a good experience. Good was good.

A real nice, local restaurant with quality food and great service. We ate here twice for lunch during our stay. Very convenient location. Parking is tough, but we walked the second time. Very clean, modern bath room as well. Would definitely recommend to anyone who wants some local food options.

Absolutely delicious, and 100% authentic food. The staff and cooks here are so kind and welcoming. Everything was just so flavorful and fresh. If you are in Zihuatanejo this is a must place to try for breakfast/lunch. Pricing is very reasonable as well. I highly recommend the chilaquiles, huevos con chorizo, enchiladas, café de olla and all of their juices (pressed in house).

This is a reliably great go-to in Zuhua. The food is always good, as is the service. The prices are very reasonable. The portions are generous. The chilaquiles are awesome. And the restrooms are spotless.

I think this place is fantastic. It's a very nice place to eat with various options for food. Everyone who joined me enjoyed their meal also. The portions are a reasonable size too and their drinks are flavorful. My friends introduced to this place and I hope to try something new each time. They offer a section for menu of the day too so it's great to try something different. The bathrooms are clean, which is a good indicator for the cleanliness in the entire restaurant. I will definitely return soon with family.

If you want to eat like a local & come away full, this is the place for you! Take your spanish dictionary or ask the server what’s good. I had the albóndiga soup and didn’t regret it. Every table gets salsas n chips, veggies in vinegar and beans plus your meal and drink. Take pesos -they don’t accept plastic. Buen provecho!

Good, affordable and delicious food with good sized portions. Clean but plain. Love the jugo verde juice and the pechuga chicken dish.

Came by for lunch. I don't know if they have a menu just for lunch or just the menu in the photo. Either way I ordered the Plato Especial De La Casa. The food was great, the service was spot on and the atmosphere was relaxing and inviting. So if you're hungry give them a try.

Been coming here with my family for years. Very very good food. Sometimes a little hot, but what can you do. Sometimes the waiters can be spread a little thin but that’s ok.

Nice local food. Honestly speaking, I prefer the shrimps with garlic. P. S. They have cold beer ;)

Loved it, the food was fabulous. The wait staff was humorous and knowledgeable. The music was amazing. It was exactly what we needed. Thanks for a wonderful experience.

Have been here many times over the years, and the service and the atmosphere have remained excellent. It's expensive by Zihua standards, but it's worth the splurge in my opinion. The courtyard dining is so pretty too.

Updated 2023: My opinion remains the same. Can only recommend the happy hour menu due to the dinner prices. This place is not special enough to spend this kind of money. Try $50 US for a steak. Maybe if you are trying to impress someone? I attached menu photos for 2023. 2019: Not sure what the attraction of this place is. Food is expensive, Service pretentious, dishes are okay. Get twice the meal at half the price at Gorobos and get the same full linens service.

Top restaurant in Zihuatanejo I highly recommend it. I loved the Coconut shrimp and my cocktail. The crepe Suzette was to die for - done by a sous-chef "flambé" by the table. Quite a spectacular show!

If I could give Coconuts six stars... I would! Everything about our experience was positive. The service was great and the food was even better. It is pricey, but we knew that prior to sitting down. If you want a classy night out, DO NOT MISS COCONUTS!

Some of the best food ever!! Anywhere, fish was perfectly seasoned and save room for strawberry foster OMG atmosphere was great hard to thing your in the middle of town when you walk in the doors

Posting less favorable review after response from Coconuts to our poor service was answered with a statement that the night was busy. We were one of the first tables to arrive and were left unserved while other tables were served. In fact, other tables noticed that we were not receiving service and our dessert arrived long after many tables were served before us, and had arrived for dinner after us. I suggested that two women travelling alone might have been the issue. How else to explain that only our table had such a poor experience. Yes, the food and ambience was good but as solo women travellers I would be wary. The attached will demonstrate that the restaurant was not busy when we arrived.

Mauricio was so welcoming, we were walking by when he was setting up one day, everything is so cute, neat area of Zihua for food. Several good places within a couple blocks. Great food and nice to see local owners/chefs interacting with their patrons! Also local live music!

This quaint family owed and operated establishment was fantastic. The grill was going and all things coming off tonight were fantastic. Kabobs, shrimp, tuna all delicious. Great ambiance and servers were very kind and helpful, a visit from the chef/owner was a nice touch. To top off the evening the order key lime pie!

Quiet romantic atmosphere 😍 with beautiful ambience. Live music in the background. Mahi Mahi cooked to perfection. Not overly cooked and dry. It was tender and juicy with freshness you can taste. Octopus was definitely fresh. It was not chewy at all and the flavor was perfect. The cook and owner was very nice and squeezed us in even though they were pretty busy. The cook also went wo every table to make sure we are enjoying the food. This is a well run family restaurant!

We went here on the advice of a friend and we loved it! Good value, great food and service, cozy atmosphere for outdoor dinning. We had the shrimp tacos and the skewers.

You must order tuna fish steak! We order tuna steak. I can’t believe what I saw! So big and thick tuna steak was served! I’ve never seen such a thick tuna steak, even if I was in Japan. Great flavour. No iron fishy smell, not at all! Definitely, fresh. His cooking skills is very good. Price is amazing ( if you order this in Japan or some city restaurant, you have to pay over $60 or more) I totally forgot to take this plate picture. Because I was completely fascinated by this tuna steak (*≧∀≦*)

Very great experience, great food cooked right outside the restaurant on a grill. Wanted pasta and found it, woundful grilled shrimp fettuccine. All the workers were great. Good location near the canal in a quint area.

The nicest restaurant owners in Zihua! Had mesquite grilled chicken cooked on the barbecue where you can watch if you want. And there was rib-eye and seafood on the menu, too. The food and service were 5 stars!

Love this place! We ate here a few times. Jesus and Ilario made the experience so wonderful. The food and drinks were delicious— some of the best. The view and vibe are very nice too. Highly recommend it!!

What an incredible gem to come across. So close to the stairs from the resorts. Great view (pro tip...eat at bar upstairs), delicious drinks, mushrooms were so savory, bread was lightly toasted but soft. Shrimp had a delicious char on them, ahi tuna was plentiful and perfectly cooked. Vegetables seemed fresh and a nice change from most local dishes. Note: they only accept cash!!

We had sashimi, calamari, coconut shrimp, and tuna kabob - all were perfectly prepared and absolutely delicious! View was amazing, cocktails were strong and tasty, and the service was attentive and friendly! Will definitely return.

Really fun place for Happy Hour. Great margaritas and appetizers. The shrimp and mushroom au gratin is great.

Total winner of a place. Had the blackened tuna sashimi and spinach salad. Followed by the coconut mahi, and a filet mignon. Everything was cooked to perfection. Very tasty and the service was extraordinary. The view is great as well. Definitely coming back here again. Jesus is the Dude 😎

So showed up at 9:30 to closed doors. Most of the town was at a festival so a slow day and they where closing up. We knocked and they opened up for us. It was one of the most romantic dinners my wife and I have shared in fourteen years being together. The food is out of this world. Must try the coconut shrimp and coconut rice! The catch of the day was mahi-mahi. The best fish dish we have had since we’ve arrived at Zihuatanejo, and we have eaten a lot of seafood here. Do not miss out on this place. It is a gem. The chief came out to talk to us, the staff is wonderful, the bathrooms are clean and the view at night.... breathtaking!

This place is a hidden gem and one of our neat experiences traveling! If you're in Puerta Mia or close to Playa Principal or Madera just walk. Otherwise, if you're in La Ropa it's worth taking a cab. Jesus made us feel like true family. We spent most of our daily effectivo in the shops so I didn't know of we'd have enough for another round and Jesus told me "You can just pay another day. Eat and drink what you want. You are family." I was blown away. Jesus and Coco Bahía have us as regulars now! Amaaaazing blackened sashimi and margaritas by the way. But after being treated so well, I'd come back for cheese and crackers. 😂 Incredible view of the bay.

Best Chilaquiles ever!! You know you found a great place to eat when you come on a Sunday during the down season and you’re the only Gringos in the place. Definitely a winner!

I had the combination plate which was very good. The service was excellent as was the overall atmosphere. I came in just after noon so it wasn't that busy. I think that I'll be back.

Visited again with family. Breakfast was on point. Loved my chilaquiles con salsa verde. Others in my party spoke highly of the molletes, fruit plate with granola and the hot cakes were a hit with los niños. (Photo doesn't belong but can't remove) 😜 Original from Diciembre 2023: Nice spot, pleasant occasion to be surrounded by more locals and national tourists than gringos...and a good sign for the authenticity of the food. Chilaquiles were excellent and the molletes con chorizo was good.

Food was excellent. Tortillas were fresh made, but they put them between paper that sticks to them like glue.

Armando was super accommodating with our dog and arranging a table near the door where she could sit with us. Very good execution on breakfast classics and an excellent environment

Foods are delicious and relatively cheap that's you you can see the line in front of the entrance. On Sundays, if you don't want to lose time, make reservation in advance.

Great restaurant with excellent friendly staff. Food is so good

Heard great things about this place. We were a little let down. I did try the octopus which wasn’t bad. I have nothing to compare it to but can cross it off my bucket list. My partner’s rib eye was not so great. More on the blue side than med-rare. The service was not very attentive. They were quite busy so perhaps this affected the food and service.

We went here 3 times as the first time the meat was excellent. The second time we ordered a medium filet mignon and it came very rare (raw), not the end of the world but not what we ordered. So the 3rd time I ordered a medium/well filet mignon in the hope that it would be a little less raw this time. Our dishes arrived after about an hour of waiting, 3 of us ordered steak and chips of varying cuts, they were all completely annihilated as were the fries. It was like trying to eat a shoe, so dry and tough. I made the observation to the waiter and he said as we had already eaten a bit (a couple of bites) there was nothing he could do. We ate as much as we could as we were hungry and had been waiting a fair while. The manager never came over and we were billed in full. So, if you do decide to go, avoid the steaks and don't expect much from the service if anything goes wrong.

Very nice setting along the walkway on playa principal. My wife had lasagna and loved it. The pasta was thin and delicious. I ordered a Greek Salad. Not exactly what I expected but it was good. I also ordered the tuna steak. It was only okay. We will be back to try the pizza because that looked delicious.

Quite disappointed in our meal. We wanted a really nice piece of fresh fish, and since it was near the pier, thought this was a good bet. Good atmosphere, a rotation of wandering musicians playing for tips. Bad margaritas, touristy big glasses with lots of filler mixer. Calamari app was subpar. The catch of the day, mahi mahi, was smothered in an almond cream sauce that I can only describe as disgusting, couldn't eat it. The snapper was good, vegetables and potatoes good. Nice service. We won't go back - not authentic at all.

Our family of 6 went for dinner well ordered something different and we all were very pleased with our meal from Pizza ,ribs, lasagna, etc delivered at the same time hot and delicious. Great waiter,took a little time but we aren’t going anywhere! Will definitely be returning.

Delicious food and drinks! Great service. Highly recommend their lasagna :)

Everything about our meal was perfect. Service was exceptional and everyone was so friendly. Our server even asked me if I wanted more ice which is almost unheard of in Mexico. Mexican pizza and stuffed peppers were phenomenal! Highly recommend.

One of the best breakfast/lunch place in Zihua! Great food and service but also some of the best views of the bay as you are above ground right in the middle of the bay. Often with a nice breeze as you enjoy your meal with some fresh fruit juices...

This is a beautiful restaurant off the beach. Many friends of mine enjoyed their meals. We had baguettes and these had great flavor. The "asadero" was well worth it. The salad was extremely salty so it was hard to eat. The French toast is shareable. It's quite a big dish. The staff was friendly and very attentive too. We were a large party and we all were well taken care of. We hope to revisit in the future.

As most locals do l'm starting breakfast with a pastry of some form. In this case a coconut pastry bar and then onto the entree of Pobretones which are scrambled eggs with pieces of fried tortilla, topped with red sauce, cream, cotija cheese, onion, cilantro, and served with refried beans with chorizo and house-made tortillas. The view is fantastic here. Excellent food, service, reasonable prices and this view. No doubt l'll be there a few times.

This is probably one of the best places to get a good local breakfast. The menu has good choices if you’re into healthy eating but also has a wide variety of typical Guerrero eats. Mornings are pretty busy so getting your food can take a bit of a wait. It’s also hard to get a table with ocean view so that’s why the wait can be long. The food is good though and it’s one the the best coco flans I’ve had. Also I had dinner there (a cheeseburger) and it was delicious

Yes it's great! Nice staff, good food, incredible views! It's a must go for breakfast in Zihua!

I had the most delicious French toast, special of the day. Sweet, but not overly so, with a subtle orange taste. Such a perfect combination with my cafe’ de olla. Everything about the experience was fantastic! No wonder, it’s my favorite place for breakfast/lunch/dinner.

One of the best breakfasts in Zihua. I appreciate the gluten free options. Such tasty dishes. The ambiance was terrific. Attentive staff, beautiful space and pleasant live music. We will definitely be repeat customers.

I got the beurre blanc fish roll and it was very nice. It's a fun atmosphere as well, right next to a mangrove with iguanas and birds. It's off the beach but no ocean view. I took off a star because they allowed other diners to feed the iguanas, then the restaurant staff fed them tortillas! Not appropriate food for those animals. Don't fall off the deck, the giant croc might eat you!

Excellent food and drinks. My wife had the deep fried fish tacos and I had the fajitas. And a great experience with the iguanas and crocodiles! We went here almost every night on our vacation. Highly recommend!

Awesome place to watch sunset and the crocs and birds and iguanas... Great food in a relaxing outdoor setting...

Wow! The restaurant was fantastic! Superb service and everyone enjoyed their dinners. Thank you for a great meal! Five adults well feed for less than $1500 mx. We had drinks but no alcohol. Highly recommended!

Awesome place and got pretty busy almost a full house towards sunset when we were there an hour earlier there was like 2 tables. But the setting feels like eating in the jungle or swamp. I'm glad many iguanas showed up for me and a few different bird species as well. There were turtles swimming by and a medium size crocodile swam by as well although when I pass by mid day there was a huge crocodile hanging out by the entrance of the restaurant. Love the vibe here and a few good choices on the menu. The service was good but today there credit card machine didn't work but luckily I have cash. On the other side of the back of the restaurant is also an RV park I'm not sure if you can rent the lot with the place but there were many travelers and it's nice if you have an RV walk straight into the restaurant to eat and off to the beach you go.

We love this place ! Been coming here for years and it’s always delicious. Food is fresh , well prepared and big portions. Margaritas are nice and strong!

This is a must try in Zihuatanejo. Beach front on Playa Ropa with a great vibe. The food was outstanding and the service we received from Carlos was exceptional. We came by a few days earlier and he gave us a tour of the restaurant grounds because they have an amazing family of iguanas! He recognized us immediately when we arrived without reservation and found us a table. We enjoyed the catch of the day which was mahi mahi. We tried it 2 different ways (veracruza and grilled with ajillo sauce) Both dishes were excellent. We enjoyed a margarita and chips with pico de gallo while we waited and a bottle of cold white wine with dinner. Overall it was a terrific experience! Highly recommend

Small airport in Mexico. Easy to get in and out. There is construction going on in the parking area. Social distancing and masks are required inside the entire airport. It was pretty hot inside. No air conditioning? Lots of shops to buy souvenirs before you leave. Also an ice cream shop and bar. There was a restaurant, but it still seemed to be under construction.

Small but very efficient airport in Guerrero. Arrival was easy - with an efficient immigration process - and departure was even more efficient. 15 minutes curb to gate. Can’t ask for anything better!

First day is going great. Friendly staff and a good breakfast.

Very basic airport, not much for food options, one bar, ice cream, and various gift shops with local souvenirs

Easy access. Small. For the least expensive ride to town walk through the parking lot to the road and grab a combi to zihuatanejo. The customs smells of corruption.

Clean, small airport convenient to Zihuatanejo and Ixtapa. Red light & green light to get through customs. Careful not to bring food, tobacco, e-cigs, etc they’ll fine you 637%. Several ATMs available between check in and security.

Arriving is a bit of a hassle, but it's worth it to get to Ixtapa. Don't base your hole trip on that one experience.
