Hotel in zona El Chato, Zihuatanejo de Azueta

L'Hotel Emporio è una delle migliori esperienze del resort che ho avuto in più di 20 anni di viaggio. La spiaggia è fantastica, ha tutte le strutture e le attrazioni di cui avrete bisogno (e di più), il cibo è fantastico ogni pasto, e il personale è amichevole e attento. Questa è la seconda volta che siamo stati in grande gruppo, e non pensavo che il viaggio potesse essere migliorato dopo il nostro primo soggiorno. Questa volta eravamo un gruppo di circa 20 persone con bambini piccoli e bambini (che, mi sembra, possono essere difficili per tutti durante i pasti, ecc.) e siamo sempre stati trattati molto bene e i server e il team di ristoranti andavano oltre e oltre a Alloggiare il nostro gruppo (speciale grido a Hugo!) Le camere sono confortevoli con buon aria condizionata e l'intera struttura è mantenuta molto pulita. L'hotel si trova anche in una zona di shopping/restaurante, e in una zona di golf decente.

We had a standard room and it was perfectly good as we wanted to spend time exploring the town and enjoying the beach. The room was ideal in that it was spacious, had its own bathroom and kitchen area. As we ate out all the time the kitchen was only used for breakfast. The bathroom had a powerful shower and loo whilst the wash basin was separate. The bed was very comfortable and there were spare pillows and blankets available. The air conditioning worked well and there was a ceiling fan. We had a short walk to the pool, down to the beach or the restaurant or up the stairs to the road. I would not recommend staying here if you find stairs a problem as there is no elevator. I did feel the reception desk should have had more information about the town but besides that they were very helpful; printing our boarding passes and organising laundry. My one complaint was that quite often the sunbeds were pre booked with a towel and then empty for much of the day. A delightful place to stay if you want a relaxing beach holiday.

The most important thing for me on a holiday is to be on a beach where I can swim in the sea. I don't know how Zihuatanejo is not better known in the world, as in particular Playa La Ropa is one of the most stunning locations I have ever visited. The beach is perfect but it is how it is set in a bay with spectacular scenery all around that really makes it. This hotel is right on the beach, with a nice pool and beachside area and restaurant. One night we even had a huge turtle wander up and make a nest against the wall of the restaurant. For a reasonably-priced hotel, the rooms are spacious, with a large shower, and the beds are prefect for me as they appear to made of solid concrete. Some people have complained about the WiFi. I admit I lost connection occasionally but then it was possible to connect to what I assume it the WiFi for the conference part. In any case, this place is Paradise and it's nice to switch off from the outside world. Staff for the most part were pretty quiet but friendly when you spoke to them. This is very much a place where older Americans, younger couples without kids, and families come, and many of them seem to be regulars. Staff seem to be more friendly with them but that's only to be expected and when I got talking to some regulars, staff were a lot friendlier with me (not that they were unfriendly before). I have seen it said that this part of Zihuatanejo is quiet and that there are not many options for food etc. Firstly, the quiet part is a good thing for a relaxing holiday and there are other restaurants along the beach. Paty's next door is great for breakfast, lunch and dinner, with really friendly staff and all manner of water activities to book. The hotel restaurant however is amazing and the food some of the best I have ever had. One of the beef dishes with fried plantains was especially noteworthy.
