Thompson Zihuatanejo

The Thompson is hands down the best resort in Zihuatenejo. This is my second stay in a beach suite. I had my own plunge pool and a beautiful view of the ocean. Perfection! Hao’s most talented bartended, Marco, is a highlight to every happy hour.

Beautiful resort (not all inclusive) on secluded beach. Rooms, view and service from staff is amazing. Location on Playa Ropa is excellent. Recommend the Beach Suites as they have their own mini pool as well as direct beach access with palapas you can reserve

Beautiful resort on white-sand Playa La Ropa. Our lagoon suite on the second floor had a large outside area with plunge pool and a distant view of the ocean. Upstairs lagoon suites have a smaller interior space than first floor suites but get more light. Lounge chairs on the beach with palapa umbrellas were the ideal place to spend the day. Once you are set up by a staff member, the palapa is yours for the day and you can come and go. We walked along the beach to La Gaviota for dinner one night, and were able to walk all the way to Las Gatas beach on another day from the resort. Kayaks and paddle boards are available to take out on the bay as part of the resort fee. There isn’t much more to the spa than several treatment rooms, but I had an excellent massage with Rosy, who is as charming as she is talented. Note that spa treatment prices are considerably higher than what is posted online. The gym is well equipped with free weights as well as cardio machines, benches, and other machines. The staff at the Thompson was exceptional - they could not have been warmer or more helpful. Many thanks to Ismael and Nadia, Franco at kayaks, our housekeeper Susanna, and especially to Bruno at the front desk who took care of our every need.

Such a great location and the staff was wonderful! The food was great and the atmosphere made the place a great time. Walking out of room to the Beach was great! Having a swim up suite to an adult pool was fantastic. I would recommend this place to anyone.

The beach was gorgeous. The pool and facilities were fantastic. We had a lovely room with comfortable bed, pillow and linens and exemplary housekeeping. The food was mediocre but we were easily able to eat at restaurants near by. The grounds were beautifully maintained.
