My first time staying at Aura del Mar and I shall return! Stayed in room 105 which was perfect. 30 seconds from the pool, 45 seconds and you're on Madera Beach. 45 seconds and you're in the lobby and out front on the street. The staff was simply marvelous. Special shout out to Sandy at the lobby bar and Roxy at the reception desk. Francisco needs to stop trying to side-hustle his excursions and adventures. Just take a "No, thank you" and quit asking me if I need to book anything, Francisco. The bartenders and waiters in the restaurant were all great, too. Despite the street being torn up for major maintenance, we were a very short walk to lots of different restaurants and shops. The pool area is hard to beat, never any trouble getting a lounge chair. Same for the beach area, plenty of chairs. The boardwalk is close by and makes for an easy stroll to Playa Principal and plenty of things to see and do. I absolutely loved my visit and will be booking a return trip very soon!

The location was amazing. The convenient store across the street was the icing on the cake. The ocean there is a bit rough for swimming, but my husband body surfed every day. The jacuzzi tub on the terrace was great, but you often had to plan 2 hours in advance to start filling the tub. A few times there was no hot water. The hotel, staff, and beach were fabulous tho, and we will definitely be coming back. Hopefully soon. Those couple issues I mentioned were minor. I highly recommend this property.

Jewel on the Beach

Lovely hotel that gives you a Mexico feel as soon as you pass through the doorway. Lush tropical plantings accent the rustic architectural style of Aura Del Mar. Mexican decor touches through out. Love this place and would return tomorrow. The staff is welcoming and extremely friendly. The location on the beach cannot be beat, small little palapa area in addition to a very comfortable pool deck area. Service on the beach/pool area provided by the restaurant was very friendly and attentive. Free boogie boards and kayaks available at the beach. Also great proximity to town and all the great restaurants of Zijua. Lots of steps at the hotel, helps you work off those margaritas!

An excellent choice in Zihuatanejo

Pros: Close restaurants, Free Internet, Quiet, excellent spa
Very comfortable, excellent restaurant (weak cocktails, however), a fabulous spa- had a wonderful aromatherapy massage - on the beach and walking access to the Centro part of Zihuatanejo and all of its services and restaurants. Very helpful staff but knowing a little Spanish helps. Would come back many times again.

Great hotel on a quiet beach in ZIH

Pros: Close restaurants, Quiet
Great hotel on a quiet beach in ZIH. Excellent staff and clean, spacious rooms although showing a bit of age. Short 5 - 10 minute walk along beach boardwalk to main downtown plaza with all shops/restaurants. Rooms have spectacular view of the beach and bay and the hotel restaurant is right on the beach. Staff was very helpful with suggestions and arranging reservations, etc. Our first time to ZIH but we'll definitely be back again!

Wonderful experience

Stayed here August 19 to August 24, 2009 for my daughter's wedding. The Hotel and staff did an excellent job of arranging everything from the wedding to the rooms for all the guests. We stayed in room 1 and it was large enough for 3 adults. Staff kept the room clean and well stocked with water and clean towels. In all we used 5 rooms and I never heard any negatives from any of the guests. The restaurant served well prepared meals with excellent service and the prices were fair. They do need to expand their menu a bit. All in all I would never hesitate to recomend this hotel to anyone physically able to handle the stairs.
