Staff were great. Rooms were clean and the pool area was very nice
We enjoyed our 1 week stay. The property was clean, staff were friendly and helpful. The pool was nice, but wish there were more loungers. The breakfast was tasty and nice selection. We had the king suite and liked our room but the bed was a bit too firm for our liking. Good air conditioning in our room overall happy with the hotel.

The maid was amazing. Breakfast at the hotel is good. Love having a big jug of water in our room.
Lovely facilities. Great staff. Breakfast included was very good. Pool is great. Location made it easy to walk to most places we wanted to go, or to access transportation.
The breakfast choices included in the stay were minimal and not to my preference. But the roof top restaraunt was fabulous and food was delicious. Best pizza ever

Great location, good service, but it seems that there’s a bit of improvement needed.
Rooms were very clean. Staff were awesome. Beds were good in our 4th room. Manager was very accommodating when we brought concerns to him. Only thing that would make it great would be to have a fridge in rooms
My room was spotless! The breakfast was excellent. The pool was clean
Staff helpful and friendly. This was my second year here. Will be back next year.

Quite. Good breakfast. Friendly staff.
No fridge in the room.
Not far from the beach (not on the beach)
I booked this property online from Canada for 4 days thinking I would look around for a place to stay for a month when I arrived.
I quickly noticed how nice the resort and staff were but after my 4 days I had to relocate as the property was full. The manager Gerardo was fantastic and he put in time on his own accord to find me a suitable property to relocate to. I highly recommend this property, it has everything you need and you get the best value here. It’s just simply a lovely resort and is so close to the beach.
Don’t do as I did, only booking for 4 days, book your whole vacation at the Caracol!!
The hotel is well located close Madeira beach access. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful. The rooms are very basic, but who spends much time in your hotel room when you are in Zihua.
Spent 2 weeks here, comfortable and close to the beach. Staff was friendly and housekeeping was helpful. Shout out to Anna who always made sure I had plenty of towels. Breakfast was good and pool was very nice.
Great location between La Ropa and Centro. Great value for the price. Very nice pool, comfortable and clean room. Breakfast was included and excellent. My only issue was the spotty wi fi in the room.
This place was clean and location convenient.
Wifi not great, pool was lovely and very well cared for area. Breakfast included was nice and pretty good. Looking into maybe going back next year, but getting a kitchen
