Best place to stay. Steps from the beach. All staff great. Good restaurant on premise. Kitchens we use for buying fresh fish right at the pier. Good Mercado in town, or go to Soriana supermarket. Good beaches, local cabs are less than $5.

Very nice property on Beautiful Madera Beach.
Great location for walking the boardwalk into downtown Zihuatanejo and surrounded with numerous places to dine.
Property was very clean and well maintained.
All the staff were very friendly and helpful.
The only thing to note for people with mobility issues is all the stairs from street level to beach level to all the suites.

Clean, comfortable and good location. Easy walk to el centro and the malecon. Only downside was it could be noisy at times (this is a busy area). We would stay again for the convenience of the location.

Great location. At the top of a hill with an amazing view of a beautiful bay. There was a lovely infinity pool with plenty of seating options or you could swim in Madera Bay. The onsite restaurant served above average food. The service was great and everyone very friendly, always wanting to help.
