Thompson Zihuatanejo

Playa La Ropa, Mexico's longest beach, starts right outside the door, which explains everything about why people come. This boutique beachfront resort carries a long history under a new name, and the new ownership seems to have taken a "don't break it" approach: rooms are still individually designed, each with a balcony or terrace, and suites add private plunge pools. The spa, yoga studio, and palapa fitness space are a genuine upgrade, and surfing or diving is basically steps away.
