THE best place for couples in the area-Great pools, unbelievable food, perfect sand beaches- only a mile from charming and romantic downtown Zihuatanejo.

Villa del Sol is a magical place, unlike any hotel you have ever known. Although the hotel is directly in the white sands of Playa La Ropa, you will hardly know it is there if you look to it from the ocean. Villa del Sol disappears in the lush vegetation; you can barely make out the terracotta-tiles and thatched rooftops peeking out of the sea of rustling palms. The gardens are kept in immaculate shape to take a leisurely stroll along the pathways or find a comfortable bench under a tree. Just one hop off the sand and you can submerge yourself in what has become the hotels greatest pride - a fantastic infinity pool that seems to spill right into the ocean.
