I don't know how I never connected this with little slice of pure Zihua bliss, but after 6 years of making the trip, I'm glad I found Aura del Mar. The perfect blend of upscale surroundings in a very authentic Mexican theme made me really FEEL that I was in Mexico, not just staying at a typical nice resort that... More

My first time in Zihuatanejo and I loved this hotel. The staff were really friendly, the food was good, amazing views of the bay below, and they have a waterslide! Chips and guacamole and a margarita served beachside cannot be beat. Not to make this review all about food, but the breakfast that comes with your stay is delicious and... More

My girlfriend and I attended a friend's wedding at this hotel. It was the prettiest wedding ever. The hotel staff was extremely friendly and helpful, breakfast was included, the rooms were comfy (along with your own balcony hot tub and hammock with ocean views), and the hotel is beachfront. Sleeping with the huge sliding glass window open to the sounds... More

We had the pleasure of staying a week at Aura del Mar in April of 2013. I can’t think of enough complimentary or positive things to say about this wonderful and beautiful hotel. We were perfectly comfortable in our room—the bed was incredibly comfy and decorated daily with beautiful, fresh flowers. Our balcony had a Jacuzzi, comfy chaises, a hammock... More

Let me start by saying that we hail from Las Vegas and we decided to get married in Zihua. After doing extensive research, we chose Hotel Aura Del Mar and let me tell you, we were so happy we made this selection.

My boyfriend and I just got back from a week in Zihua. We stayed at the Aura Del Mar and thoroughly enjoyed our time there. We were debating other hotels prior to booking but because of the price and rating on TripAdvisor, this hotel won out. Reasons why I would go back: 1. The VIEW!! We had room #10 which... More

We stayed here for a wedding the end of March in 2013. Our room was great with a beautiful view of the ocean. Everyday the staff would make a fun creative design made of flower pedals on our bed after they cleaned the room. The staff was super friendly and always whiling to help out. They did a great job...

Now this was a vacation. We chose it because of its location, which is perfect, and reasonable rates. We stayed in a junior suite with the jacuzzi but never bothered to fill it. Our room was close to the main reception. It had a king bed and, closer to the window, a seating area that was the size of two... More
