After a week long honeymoon in Beach Suite #3 (3rd floor and private), my wife and I found the room, overall property and service to be exceptional. As a result of the low occupancy (swine flu and economy), it felt as if we pretty much had the whole resort to ourselves. It felt like there were more employees than customers,... more

We arrived yesterday, WOW. We have been all over the world and this place ranks with the best. The service is outstanding. "Mr.Clean" on the beach is the one to ask for. When we get back we will post more with photo's. more

My trip to Zihuatanejo/Ixtapa would not have been complete without a visit to The Tides Zihuatanejo (formerly Villa del Sol), another long-time favorite. This is a true kick-back, beachfront resort with tropical lagoons, spacious accommodations, several dining options, a full-service spa, and one of the best beaches I’ve ever seen. Its keen location close to town has no rival. The... more

The service at The Tides was relaxed, welcoming, and personable. In particular the concierge, David, helped us before we arrived and throughout our week long stay -always Our party, made up of two couples with different agendas, kept David busy. Our third level lagoon plunge pool suite (room# LPH2) had an amazing perch looking out over the gorgeous property with... more

We had a short stay during easter on this beautiful hotel. Its spacious, esthetic with a superb service from a friendly and professional staff and management. We had a de luxe room with a small privat pool outside the terrasse, which was great. Go for the massage at the beach, enjoy a frozen Margarita, drop the overpriced oaky Tequillas.The two... more

My wife and I just returned from our vacation at the TIDES. Here is the breakdown: Location/Resort: The resort is absolutely beautiful and is in the perfect location. Playa la Ropa is a beautiful, peaceful, clean beach. The resort's location in zihuatanejo bay is unique and picturesque. There are many chairs that are right on the beach with flags to... more

We stayed at the Tides from April 4-8th. The second half of our trip was at the Amuleto (marvelous! see separate review). Our travel agent booked through Classic Vacations. The airport is quite modern, though small, and as in the other parts of Mexico we’ve been to, you deplane by going down steps to the ground, then follow airport staff... more

I will keep this one short - only because just about everything about this resort was great. The grounds are immaculate, the food cooked to perfection, the bars, friendly and inviting, and the beach comfortable. But most important, the service was top level from start to finish. My only wish, was that the ocean was the same as the carribean,... more

After reading some reviews about the Tides, we thought that we would share our thoughts. I do not even know where to start; I did hours of research on all the resorts and or condos, etc. in the area before we booked at the Tides. My advice is to pick a place that suits your needs, ours was simple -... more
