My husband and I just came back from Zihuatanejo for our 14th wedding anniversary. We were thrilled with the resort. However there are a few kinks for the The Tides to iron out. We stayed in a beach suite (which was amazing) but it seems that each guest who has a beach suite is given a designated Palapa with a... more

I love seeing all the great reviews for Hotel Villa del Sol (now called The Tides). I have a long history with this place and it will always hold a place in my heart. My husband and I were married here in 2000 and we now bring our children! I've watched the hotel transform from a small, quaint hotel into... more

My family and I just returned from the Tides in Zihuatanejo. Our experience was nothing short of OUTSTANDING. The resort is located on a beautiful beach. Although the beach is public, the resort is very secluded and allows for mingling with the locals. In addition, the service is awesome and very well maintained. The resort itself has all the amenities,... more

We returned from our paradise vacation at the Tides Zihuatanejo a few weeks ago and we are still buzzing! From the moment we stepped out of the taxi into the open air lobby, to the greeting to the first walk on the grounds, we had an incredible experience at this hotel. The service was top notch - we had at... more

Overall our stay at the tides was awesome. We came here for our 30th anniversary and overall were not disappointed. However, there was one major issue - the hotel touts that they do not allow children under the age of 16. This was one of the major considerations in choosing this hotel. Yet during or stay there were numerous families... more

The Tides Zihuatanejo (formerly Villa Del Sol) is nothing short of a great experience. With private beaches and all the amenities you can ask for, the hotel is located on the pristine coast line of Playa La Ropa. My wife and I enjoyed a 7 night stay during our honeymoon. We purchased the honeymoon package which included two daily meals... more

Amazing! From the moment you arrive, you feel like family. On arrival, you are greeted warmly in the beautiful open-air lobby. You are then whisked off and checked in privately by a hotel staffer in your actual room. Very discreet. The staff makes every attempt to greet you by name. This may sound overdone, but it never feels forced coming... more

I will keep it short- I was worried because I'd seen a few negative comments about the Tides on tripadvisor (and I am picky) but those people must have been looking for something negative to say. We LOVED the Tides- a great honeymoon for sitting on the beach, reading, GREAT food and wonderful service. A few helpful hints: the food... more
