This is a really nice hotel. Probably the nicest on the beach (La Playa Ropa). Good staff, great pool, great location. But why so expensive? Much, much more than our typical stays at 4 and 5 star hotels worldwide. As nice as it is, I just couldn't find the justification for the high prices. i.e.: 75USD for a mediocre bottle... more

The Tides is situated right on Playa la Ropa, one of the more desirable beaches in Zihuatanejo. It is a very attractive property and the rooms have been recently redone under new ownership. If you are going to Zihua and want a comfortable upscale place to stay, this is certainly a choice. But for my money, I would think anyone... more

The Tides is an incredibly well-manicured facility. The rooms are well-appointed, clean and certainly large enough for anyone coming from a one-bedroom apt in NYC. Great gym, amazing infinity pool and internet provided (although the wifi was really bad, I assume the LAN link worked fine) However, I will second Mike's review about erroneous charges, overcharges and, most annoyingly, failing... more

Ok, we researched and thought this chouce out very thouroghly. The reviews on tripadvisor were very good and we took that into consideration. We arrived October 9th and left 5 days later. I will tell you that The Tides in Zihuatanejo really is as beautiful as the pictures portray. The rooms are big and comfortable. The property and facilities did... more

My wife and I stayed at the Hotel Villa del Sol many times prior to having kids and had been looking forward to returning. Now, renamed the Tides, it still retains much of the charm we had enjoyed. We have travelled quite a bit in Mexico over the years (my wife is fluent in Spanish and I speak enough to... more

The Tides is one of our favorite places now. We can't wait to go back. A few days here and you will totally unwind from life's daily stress. The service is absolutely phenomenal. Wake up with delicious pastries and tea waiting for you. Enjoy a delicious breakfast with fresh juices and fresh jams. As you enjoy a beautiful day on... more

Friendly staff, nice beach and empty hotel made for a great vacation. Easy access by taxi from the airport. Great, though expensive, food. Charming down-town Zihuatanejo is a short(ish) walk away. A couple of errors (surprisingly not in or favor) with our pool/beach side dining bills left bit of a bad taste - despite the managers apology and complimentary whine... more

Villa Del Sol, a local and succesful hotel arising since 1990 from a boutique mentality, has now sold out to a corporate conglomerate called "The Tides". What was then ....now isn't. Buyer beware. VDS built a solid reputaton for its accommodations, service and local offerings that the Tides paid handsomely for. The Tides bought the concept, but doesn't deliver the... more

Do book a cab from the airport direct not the resort. Don't pay for a bed on the beach if your paying for food and drinks- outrageous Do venture out of the resort for awesome food- Amuleto, Casa Canta, Tenticones Awesome!! Don't let the guys be pushy on the beach for tours. Agree on price then go. Do look for... more
