Beautiful hotel! Great location - minutes away from el centro and immediate beach access to Playa Madera. The pool area has been remodeled making it a great space to lounge around, and they have a fanstatic restaurant onsite with views of Zihua. Lastly, the staff is very friendly and welcoming.

We've stayed at Aura del Mar twice now. We love staying there as the location is great, it is right on the beach, close to Centro and the view from the room is gorgeous. The staff is super nice and helpful. There are a few things they could improve. the shower had no water pressure for the last 3 days. It was so bad, it took me forever to wash my hair. It was the worst I've experienced in a hotel. We had some sort of glass fallen from the top floor and shuttered on our patio. The restaurant is good but very expensive. If the price is right, go for it!

This is our third stay over about twenty years at Aura del Mar. This place is heaven. The staff is excellent; the grounds are stunning. If you love Mexican art/architecture/colors, this place is for you. The rooms all face the sea and the views are magical. The staff hooks you up with reservations at the good restaurants, and there’s a taxi stand at the bottom of the hill so taxies are there within 2-3 minutes, ready to whisk you around the bay. The beach is calm and the sand is lovely. We usually go to Sayulita, which we’ve loved for many years, but now stay away during Christmas and Spring break because it’s packed. Zihuatenejo beach is super uncrowded, even on Spring break week. Give this place a try—if you like old school Mexican charm, you won’t be disappointed.

This was our second visit to Aura Del Mar; the first visit was when it was named Brisas Del Mar in 2010. This property has kept all the charm that we feel in love with back in 2010 and has made some incredible additions since. The pool deck over looking the ocean was peaceful and gave you a beautiful 360• view. The landscaping is gorgeous and tended to. The onsite spa has been updated and is lovely. Coffee machines in every room with fresh ground coffee provided. Turn down service at night. Cold A/C Friendly staff Abel is on the top deck serving happy hour and a gorgeous view of the sunset. The beach / pool towels they provide are adorable. This hotel is a gem.

The property is unique in that there are several different levels and different room types. The decor is very interesting with lots of plants and statues and two talkative parrots. We were in a top floor room with two beds and a fabulous view. We enjoyed coffee on the balcony every morning. The location to walk along the malecon to town was convenient and offered us the opportunity to walk to several different restaurants. The only downside is the number of stairs to reach the pool and the beach. We would stay again however it was probably a one time stay as it is a bit out of our comfort zone due to cost.

This was my 3rd visit to the property and first since Covid, and the property still holds the same charm and hospitality since my first visit in 2014. The rooms have a lot of space and incredible views from most of them. Staff are so hospitable and the restaurant is great for breakfast, and lunch/drinks by the pool or on the beach. And of course the beautiful landscaping and the Parrots just complete the Old Mexico feel. Can't wait to return again and again!

You will not find a friendlier or more welcoming staff. Such a beautiful, boutique hotel with clean rooms and facilities. We got upgraded to the Noyolytzi Suite from the Master Suite which was incredible. So clean, with two bedrooms and a big outdoor area in between, complete with a full kitchen and appliances, including a blender. We hadn't planned a single excursion (trying to keep things easy and stress free) but there's a very friendly man on site much of the time, Carlos, who helps you book whatever you want, from snorkeling to turtle release to sunset cruise and many other things. He seems to know all the best tour guides and sets everything up for you, often next day or even same day if it's early enough. One thing they don't advertise that we were so grateful for is that they will do laundry for you for a small charge. Our laundry bill for about 15 or so items was around $17 USD. The stairs are a thing and can be a lot, as noted in other reviews. But if you call ahead or email ahead and ask, they can advise you on which room to book with fewer stairs to the beach if you want. We were grateful for the extra calorie burn after dining on all that delicious food! And there are always staff around to greet you as you climb the stairs, and a very friendly McCaw!
