We recently stayed at the Zihau Caracol for the 3rd time in as many years. The staff are extremely friendly and willing to assist you. The hotel is older with lots of charm and very clean. You cannot beat the price and location in Zihuatanejo. We will return again.

My friend and I just returned from a week in paradise. We stayed at the Zihua Caracol, which was perfect for our basic needs. The rooms were clean, and cleaned thoroughly each day, the staff was gracious and helpful, and the setting was idyllic. We enjoyed the pool each day after our adventures to the beach. The air conditioning was... More

At first glance this hotel is very inviting with a lovely pool and common area gardens. Just don't go into the rooms. We checked in without a reservation and did not look at the room before paying. The first thing that we noticed was the overwhelming smell of cleaning solution and mildew and the second was the lack of natural... More

If you are looking for luxury or a resort-type experience, this is not it. Overall it is extremely clean, and safe, and really good people work there. So if, like me, you just want something fairly inexpensive, but clean, its absolutely fine. Basic but fairly nice is how I would summarise the place. Basico pero bueno. None of the rooms... More

We arrived in Zihua after a horrible overnight bus ride at about 6:30 in the morning; needless to say we were exhausted. We were not surprised that the room we had reserved at the partner hotel across the street (Casa Sun and Moon) was not yet available, but the friendly staff gave us access to a place to change clothes...

The Hotel Zihua Caracol is an older, clean, comfortable middle of the range hotel with lots of character and charm. For the price the location cannot be beat. It is steps away from Playa La Madera and 10 minutes walking time to downtown. Along the way are many restaurants and shops. A short 15 minute walk will bring you to... More

This hotel was in a great location (one block from the beach, 10 min from downtown) and is good value for the price (at the time of reservation $50/night and the 6th and 7th night free). The rooms were very basic, with no phone, but with a TV (I don't know what channels were available because I didn't turn it... More
