Felt like you were in a luxury treehouse! the entrance lobby has a great ‘Wow’ factor! Location was great for being able to walk everywhere. Rooms are quiet and have fabulous balcony, to enjoy the gardens and pool below and all the birds. Staff were really lovely. The manager, Anja was really helpful and attentive. Breakfasts were both an adventure and an education…..learnt new words in Spanish every morning thanks to our lovely cook!

There was nothing we didn’t like… but there are certainly some ideas to improve the experience. we really missed not having a kettle and a few basic kitchen utensils in the room. It would have been nice to have the pool area lit for night swimming.

We stayed at La Villa Luz (small boutique hotel) for six nights during our visit to the Zihuatanejo. The hotel is located a couple blocks from the main area beach Playa La Ropa, a beautiful, safe swimming beach. We had a room in one of the upper levels with a balcony and view overlooking the beautiful grounds, swimming pool, and beach neighborhood. Our room, the common areas, and grounds were always very clean, well kept, and maintained. The hotel offers a breakfast option every morning cooked by a local chef, Fide, and was absolutely delicious. The entire staff, Esther, Erica, Fide, and Irving, were so welcoming and made us feel very comfortable during our stay. Muchas gracias a todos ustedes!

There wasn't anything we didn't like. The only reason we rate the "Value" category less than all other categories is because there may be options in the area that are less $, but not having stayed at any of them we have no basis for comparison. There are certainly many other options in the area where you could spend much more $.

Where do I start? The entire property is stunning... serene, beautifully decorated, super clean and cozy. The staff were all so friendly and helpful, and completely made us feel at home. Breakfast was divine - healthy and tasty, cooked to order by the most lovely chef. The view from our room was incredible and the pool and garden area are gorgeous, the perfect place to cool down after a day exploring. Just a few minutes walk from Playa la Ropa and lots of great restaurants, this was a great location for our home base in Zihuatanejo.

Honestly, not a single thing!

We absolutely LOVED Villa La Luz. The staff is top notch and the breakfast was wonderful. The hotel is immaculate and very conveniently located to Playa del Ropa. There is a taxi stand just down the street from the back door. The bed and bedroom was comfortable. The grounds and pool are very clean and beautifully maintained.

There are no TVs in any of the 7 rooms which is not a major issue however, the spotty/slow Internet is frustrating. I believe WIFI boosters or repeaters in each room would help alleviate that issue. Only two rooms in the hotel have any cooking capabilities (each room has a refrigerator) so keep that in mind for longer stays. The one issue that was most concerning for us was the locking mechanism on the front door. The front door locks and unlocks with a key only. So in case of an emergency the front door would be a major blockage. The only other exit is the back stairs down to the beach which a steep, narrow spiral staircase which would be bottleneck in an emergency.

This is a small boutique hotel with lovely views a short walk from the beach. The room and pool area were really nice. The little restaurant open 7-12 for breakfast was great! Staff were exceptionally welcoming and efficient. This is a quiet and relaxing place with only 7 rooms.

There is a steep spiral stairway from the upper part to the pool that was a little challenging for us Seniors. The pool needs a ladder to be more easily accessible.

The hotel is a small 7-room hotel. It's like being in paradise. The view from the terrace is unbelievable. Playa de Ropa is only a short walk from the back door. There is a wonderful Italian restaurant within walking distance. Old town is about a 30-minute walk which my granddaughter and daughter did a few times. There are many cabs available - night and day. Their cook offers a wonderful breakfast with many choices. The pool area is surrounded by beautiful plants where one can relax with a good book.

I booked the unit with the kitchen not knowing that it was a 3-level unit. Bedroom on top, bathroom on second floor and kitchen/ sitting area on main floor. I gave this room to the younger members of the group and my husband, and I took their room. The pool has no rails so it can be difficult for some people. There are many stairs which is common for hotels in this area. The spiral staircase was a surprise. I would like to suggest that kitchen towels should be supplied in the kitchen unit.

This is a small boutique hotel with excellent facilities. The property features great views of Bahia de Zihuatanejo. The on-site breakfast is a nice amenity. The pool is wonderful. The property felt very secure at all times. The hotel is in a great location. It is a 3 minute walk to La Ropa beach. It about equidistant to both centro as well as Playa Las Gatas. We walked everywhere. The only taxis we took were to/from the airport. There are many great restaurants that are a short walk away, including Ristorante Il Mare, Mar Y Cielo, and Jungle Pizza. La Perla beach club is probably 10 mins away. We preferred the walk down La Ropa to get there. Overall, my wife and I really enjoyed our stay at La Villa Luz

Not much to complain about. We had a great time.

This is a very interesting property. It is like living in a Swiss Family Robertson Treehouse. Quaint little rooms. Very nice staff. All so helpful and wanting to make our stay as good as possible. It is a small operation only accepting 7 couples. Beautiful swimming pool and garden area. We could open the unit up to the outdoors on three sides and enjoy the sunsets, the view and the sea breezes.

The property is built on a hillside. This means lots of stairs in the hotel. There is no way around using stairs. One of the stair systems is a tight spiral staircase. I am coming off a broken femur and did struggle with the amount of stairs. A caution to those of limited mobility. Also, there was no ice machine on the property. An inconvenient truth.

We loved La Villa Luz so much! We just got back from a wonderful relaxing, romantic and adventurous week in Zihua. It was our first time to Zihua and we were really happy we stayed here for the whole week. The staff are so friendly and relaxed that it confers such a mellow and welcoming vibe to the whole place. The tropical landscaping is immaculate, the pool so fresh and warm and inviting you don’t want to leave. Chef Fide is amazing with her breakfast cooking, we stayed a week and had a different breakfast Mexican food selection each morning. The value is excellent and it is right on the best beach in Zihua, La Ropa beach. Good restaurants are close by and walking distance. We figured out how to walk to town along the waterfront path and it made it more scenic to go to town and the central Mercado. We can’t wait to return to our friends at La Villa Luz. The experience is so much more than staying at a hotel, the rooms are unique and comfortable.

The railings are not up to US standards and could be a little challenging for someone with a fear of heights or vertigo.

Everything about La Villa Luz is exceptional! From the moment you step beyond the gate and onto the property you are transported into an exquisite paradise. We stayed in 2 different rooms and both provided panoramic views of the ocean and lush gardens. The staff are amazing! They are helpful, attentive and become like family. The breakfasts offered were among the best meals we had during our stay. I can not more highly recommend La Villa Luz and my husband and I look forward to returning soon!
