"This was a terrible place. I don't recommend it at all especially if travelling with minors. The hotel failed to communicate that they were cleaning the pool with chemicals. There was no sign or notice. We took our children for a early swim when all the sudden our kids started coughing. We got out immediately and the children ended up having a horrible reaction to the pool chemicals. We had to call a doctor due to the rashes. It was a terrible experience for us.

Top Playa la Madera Hotel Reviews

Krystal Ixtapa All Inclusive

10/10 Excellent

"Exelente"

Hilton Grand Vacations Club Zihuatanejo

8/10 Good

"The rooms are nice but if you have a mobility issue be careful there’s a lot of stairs. They do have a shuttle that can take up all the way to top but there’s still a lot of stairs to take to the actual room. The beach near by is beautiful and we were in in all day long didn’t go to the pool at all."

Luxury Oceanfront Condo with Private Plunge Pool and spectacular views.

10/10 Excellent

"Condo was great! Description and photos are spot on! The infinity pool, the plunge pool, and the views are all amazing. Centro area is easily walkable from the condo, maybe about 10-15 minutes via the path along the beach. You go downhill on the walk to Centro, uphill on the way back. There are several restaurants on Madera beach within a 5-8 minute walk. The area the condo is in is very hilly so be forewarned, if mobility is an issue, use the taxis out front. The building does have an elevator. Taxi stand is literally outside the condo entrance. There was always at least two taxis there, no need to call or waive one down. 60-80 pesos will get you pretty much anywhere in Cento or La Ropa. Julien was very accommodating and super responsive. Condo has everything you need for a comfortable stay. The property itself was quiet, the pool area has lots of seating and tables. Wish we could have stayed longer. "
