Hotel Aura del Mar is a hotel under Zihuatanejo, and the name suggests a stay with a sea theme and a mid-range price. Its exact location around the bay, the room types and the facilities are not confirmed here, so check when you book. Zihuatanejo offers a quieter way to enjoy this coast than the Ixtapa strip, with calm water, small restaurants, boat trips and a relaxed pace, and a hotel here can work well for couples and small groups who want to stay close to the water without a big resort. Use the map when you book to see which part of the bay the hotel is on, how far it is from Playa La Ropa and from the town center, and whether the route is flat or hilly.
Location and getting around
The bay of Zihuatanejo has several distinct areas. The town center sits at the north, Playa La Ropa is the long beach on the south side, the quieter coves lie around the headlands, and Ixtapa is a short drive north. Many hotels on the hillsides have views but also steps and slopes, while those at the beach are flatter.
Check the map for Hotel Aura del Mar, ask whether the hotel is on or near the sand, and find out how long a taxi takes to the town center and to the airport.
Rooms and facilities
Room types, view, pool, restaurant, parking and wifi are not confirmed here, so check when you book. Read recent guest reviews for comments on the beach access, noise, air conditioning and how well the rooms are kept, and ask whether there is a restaurant or a breakfast on site. If you are traveling in the rainy season, ask what the hotel does about humidity and storms.
Who it suits and good to know: Couples, friends and travelers who want a calm bay, easy swimming and a mid-range price will find it worth comparing, especially for a few days of beach time mixed with boat trips to Playa Las Gatas and Isla Ixtapa. It is less suited to travelers who want big-resort entertainment, a kids club or several restaurants under one roof. Compare it with the boutique and beachfront stays already in this guide, and decide whether you value a town location, a beach location or a view.
Facilities, room types, meal options and house rules are not confirmed here, so check when you book and read the latest guest reviews for the dates you plan to travel. Ask about air conditioning, wifi, parking, breakfast and any resort or service fees before you pay, and confirm which pools, restaurants and services are open in your travel month. Book early for holiday weeks and for the dry winter season, and check current travel advisories and hurricane forecasts before you travel.
