No HOT Water. At All. The TVs were messed up in both rooms. We got hit with unexpected surcharges at check-in (prepaid US$722 with Expedia; had to give another US$355 at desk). The food was awful; cocktails were watery. The only good part of this place is the lead photo.

It was close to the beach,very walkable shore line.

I enjoyed that this property is located right in the beautiful beach of La Ropa! The workers are very attentive of fixing issues when they occur. The front desk staff are extremely helpful!! . Also the restaurant on site is superb. The only drawback is that the restaurant opens at 8am. The hotel should have a coffee machine accessible at 6am for guests.

For those searching for a basic hotel in a great location, this property may be for you. Basic accommodations and rooms, that are generally well-kept for an older hotel. They do lack drawer space for clothes, although they do have a decent sized closet for hanging clothes. The staff do a great job keeping the rooms and balance of the hotel property clean and tidy. The on-site restaurant serves a wide range of breakfast, lunch, and dinner options. It's a little spendy for certain selections, but the food overall is good if you prefer to stay on the property. The hotel features a couple of swimming pools with the main infinity pool right in the main beach lounger area facing the ocean. The pool can get a bit busy, especially on weekends when occupancy goes up. The hotel is located in Zihuatanejo Bay on Playa la Ropa. It's a great walking beach and generally safe to wade into and swim in. The waves and under tow aren't too crazy like other beaches. You can walk to a number of restaurants within 10 minutes of the resort and there a ton of great restaurants in downtown Zihuatanejo, but the walk is a bit challenging because of the hilly terrain.

We were able to walk to Playa la Ropa beach right outside our door. The restaurant at the hotel was amazing. Taxis were around the corner from the hotel if we needed to go to the pier (downtown).

Hotel Mexicana is in a great location right on the Playa Ropa. It is a fairly old facility that could use a little make over and upgrade. Knowing the rooms are bare basic the location, staff, and ease to pool an sea are top rated. Some staff members who made our stay the best included Susana FD who helped us after we left one bag behind, She went above board to mail a package to us in Mexico City before we left the country. Each day she kept us informed on how it was proceeding. She saved our trip really, and the hotel is lucky to have such a dedicated employee. Also Dolares was a great help in giving us one of the sea view rooms to enjoy the waves and views. The bar staff and the maintenance people where friendly and always had a smile, they give the hotel a great personality.

The location is awesome. The beds were not comfortable and impacted our sleep

We just returned home from spending a week at the Villa Mexicana and we loved our stay. Super location on La Ropa Beach. Nice for beach walking, ocean swimming, or a wonderful circular pool which sits just off the on the beach. . Plenty of lounge chairs with lots of shade, attentive staff, nice restaurant with great views and a wonderful menu. Just about anywhere you sit you have an amazing view. Cabs just up the street will happily take you into downtown/pier area for lots of shopping or plenty of Restaurants but we honestly loved it so much we found it difficult to leave. Great find, can’t wait to go back!

Checking in we got a room we were not happy with. Hotel was full but they moved us the following day. Our room was kept spotless by housekeeping. Staff was friendly and very helpful especially our favorite waiter Francisco. Security insured that nobody came on the property that shouldn’t be there. The only negative was people would reserve their chairs and not come to the beach for hours. We would walk early and all the chairs would have towels on them but nobody in them till much later in the day. The hotel states no reserving however they do nothing to inforce it. Security is there in the morning they should tell people no reserving especially big groups who would take up a lot of chairs. All the staff work very hard there so if you go please tip them generously!

Beautiful setting. Good staff.

Incredible ocean view, friendly staff. Unfortunately bar doesn’t open until noon, so you have go searching for a mimosa or bloody after breakfast. Limited selection of beer.

Nice to be on the beach. Did not care for the selfish people reserving lounge chairs and not using them most of the time. We always found a place to sit however. The on site restaurant was hit and miss but convenient. Lots of alternative restaurants close by. The rooms, location and staff were great. This was our third visit to Villa Mexicana. Good place to chill.

really excellent

Feels like a home away from home. Safe r lovely, genuine and hard working.

Great staff, beautiful beach, nice rooms.

This is a great hotel. Perfect location for those who like to walk the beach! A very nice pool, restaurant and staff! The building is older and shows wear and with a little more love and maintenance to the rooms it would be perfect!

The staff is amazing here, great people. The food at the restaurant makes it easy to stay on site and eat great food at a great price. We have always felt safe here, this was our third time staying at Hotel Villa Mexicana.

Rooms were clean and well maintained. The staff was helpful and friendly. The restaurant chef does amazing work with the menu. The beds were a bit firm. They should add some memory foam. The pillows were lumpy and too firm. They need to be replaced. Having said that, we loved the place and we intend to come back next year.

Our only criticism would be the loud quests on the ground floor that kept us awake one night. There should be a curfew for noise. Our over all experience was A

The hotel is right on La Ropa beach! Cannot beat the location. Rooms and grounds were very clean. Staff was friendly and helpful. Would definitely stay again.

Good access to Playa la Ropa.

Stunning views of the bay

The hotel is on an excellent area it needs better beds and towels but everything else is very good

I love staying at VM. I go to Zihuatanejo at least annually. Hotel Villa Mexicana is my home away from home. It is not 'touristy', no laying on the beach with hundreds of Americans and Canadians.

Beautiful beaches

****

Rooms not great. Hotel just ok

Everything was great for the exception of slow service in the restaurant and lots of items not available on the menu.

The hotel was cute and clean. Staff was very helpful. The only side down was that it didn't have a fridge and we couldn't bring food inside the hotel.

The location is good but the hotel is very old our door lock was very old so it was really hard to open and to closed the door the staff is very very rude at the front desk and at the restaurant

A few steps and you are in the beach, infinity pool excellent for pictures. Coffee can be better

I liked that the hotel was in front of the ocean, I didn’t like that the rooms didn’t have a fridge
