Thompson Zihuatanejo

Sitting on the edge of Playa Ropa’s soft sands, hotel Thompson Zihuatanejo offers tranquil luxury surrounded by lush gardens and a meandering lagoon.

The recently renovated resort seamlessly merges Thompson’s classic mid-century modern design with flourishes inspired by traditional Mexican art and architecture. Stirred by the natural beauty of Zihuatenejo, the master creatives behind the transformation have expertly fitted the public spaces with creations from the finest local artisans. Furniture comes from Zihua art collective Casa Studio while brightly-colored handmade rugs provide a nod to the area’s deep-rooted textile traditions.

The luxury resort’s 56 guestrooms and suites include stunning vistas over the Pacific coast plus private living areas, balconies, and terraces. The majority also come with private infinity plunge pools. Guests will instantly feel at ease with luxury amenities such as custom Egyptian cotton bedding, Bluetooth speakers and radio, and satellite TVs. When it’s time to leave the room, guests can take advantage of Thompson Zihuatanejo’s water sports activates, cooking and yoga classes, or the air-conditioned gym

Thompson Zihuatanejo’s two restaurants offer some of the finest dining in the area. Centerpiece restaurant, Ceniza, utilizes the area’s indigenous fire cooking traditions and its exquisite local ingredients to create an outstanding al-fresco dining experience. Beach club HAO offers speciality collaborations with local chefs and sweeping ocean views.
