Our stay at Thompson Zihuatanejo was outstanding from start to finish. The beach was impeccably clean, our beachfront suite was spacious and beautifully designed, and the oversized shower and outdoor balcony offered truly stunning ocean views. We never used the plunge pool, as the beach and infinity-edge pool provided everything we needed. Breakfast each morning was delicious, and the resort staff & beach service was consistently attentive when needed. Overall, it’s an exceptional resort to truly relax and unwind. We will definitely return.

Beach is Gorgeous. The hotel has nice rooms, good food and the setting is very nice. I enjoyed very much the service and the great staff. Ixtapa and Zihuatanejo are lovely places to visit with the best weather all year round.

The Thompson Zihuatanejo Resort is an elegant, tranquil oasis with superb accommodations, food and drink. This being said, it is the resort staff that really helped make our stay that much more memorable. They were all genuinely warm and friendly and willing to aid us with any request. We have stayed along Playa Roja since 2010. Each time that we passed by this resort, we would tell ourselves that we would stay here one day. Well, that "one day" was this past New Year's Eve, and we departed kicking ourselves for not having stayed here sooner. We chose this destination and this resort as a way to decompress after the hectic holiday season and to just clear our minds without any itinerary in mind, just a lot of down time. We spent one entire day at the beach under one of their palapas. We stayed in one of the adults only swim-up rooms adjacent to the beach. The room was spacious, impeccably clean and quiet. It had ample storage capacity for our suitcases and clothes. The bathroom with double sinks was more than sufficient for the two of us. The shower (no tub) was spacious with sufficient hot water on demand. An added bonus was the adjacent, outdoor, open-air shower surrounded by tall walls and set in tropical landscaping as if you were under a waterfall in the jungle. The resort offered guests a New Year's Eve Celebration (for an additional cost) that we will not soon forget. It featured an elegant dinner, without any dress code - you are on the beach, in either of their 2 restaurants followed by a spectacular beach party with a DJ and dance floor, with a sort of Cirque du Soleil theme with costumed performers, some on stilts, some dancing on platforms and a woman elevated in the air in a ring like a trapeze artist. The culmination was an amazing fireworks show with shells fired from both ends of the resort beach front and under a Supermoon which lit up the night sky. The restaurants offered high quality fare, and we did not need to venture off site for any meal. It is important that we point out that they have gluten free options and their GF bread was superb and some of the best that we have tasted in our many travels around the world. We will be returning next year. Saludos y gracias to the General Manager and the entire staff.
