Along on Mexicoâ€(TM)s Pacific coastline, in the picturesque fishing village of Zihuatanejo, Viceroy Zihuatanejo graces the white sands of Playa La Ropa. At this Fodorâ€(TM)s Choice Hotel, no two of the adobe-type villas are alikeâ€"perhaps youâ€(TM)ll stay in a palapa in which a twisted tree trunk holds up its tile roof. Here, at this beachfront sanctuary, youâ€(TM)ll have a difficult decision before you: Should you enjoy a leisurely stroll through the meandering pathways or drift in the infinity pool that seems to spill right into the ocean?
Although filled with resort amenities and facilities, this property has the intimate feel of a boutique hotel with personalized service to match. Simply raise the flag outside your doorway, and white linen table service will arrive. Itâ€(TM)s just steps to the palm-shaded private beach, where warm waters are ideal for swimming. Arrangements can be made for sailing, water skiing, snorkeling, scuba diving or deep sea fishing. And savor an elegant candlelit dinner at The Restaurant at Viceroy Zihuatanejo or fresh seafood at La Cantina Bar & Grill.

We loved this quiet resort with large rooms, excellent food and cocktails, beautiful swimmable beach, but the service was top notch. Juan and Eddy were THE best!!

Gorgeous hotel and perfect location on plays ropa. No need to get up early to secure beach chairs.They will always find some for you and plenty available. Excellent food. Beautiful pools. Quiet and relaxing with far fewer kids than other resorts. Swim up room was a nice amenity. Housekeeping top notch.

Best Mexico destination, the entire team at Hao Besch and beach service was excellent. The Executive Chef is so talented and food quality is very high. Beach service was phenomenal and massage at the spa was one of the best I’ve had. I can’t say enough good things about this property. The entire stag exceeded our expectations!

We have just returned from another wonderful visit to the Thompson Zihuatanejo. The grounds continue to be well kept and beautiful. The rooms are lovely and kept very clean by the housekeeping staff. The hotel is not in "el Centro," so the noise level is low. The staff at the hotel is what makes this so special. A shout out to Alejandro and Efren who set up our palapa for us each morning; the bartenders Antonio and Saul; servers in Hao Hiliberto, Antolyn and Ellie; and to Erriberto the best beach server in the world. Thank you to all for making our vacation special.
