Villa del Sol Resort

We stayed at the Thompson for six night on what can only be described as a perfect beach vacation. The hotel is pretty much exactly what you can expect from the website’s images. Which is always a good start. The room we selected was spacious, with a plunge pool and a super comfy bed. During our stay, only the Hua was opened where we had most breakfasts and dinners. Sun beds by the beach are not shoulder to shoulder but with sufficient space and privacy. The staff was friendly, giving all guests the feeling of being regulars. Food was great, there the odd over-designed dish but generally, great high level local cuisine which we very much enjoyed. Breakfast could be a bit more straight forward in terms of offering set menus eg including a hot drink, warm meal option and fresh fruits etc instead of itemising everything. Another clear are for improvement is the gym. AC is not strong enough to fight off the tropical heat and the machines could use an upgrade, so could the floor. Last small detail: Tea and coffee options in the room are sort of standard in a five star hotel.. The beach is clean with fine sand, the water in the small bay is just the right temperature, the setting fits neatly in the beach coastline. We can highly recommend this place especially if you want to avoid dense crowds of tourists compared to places like Cancún or Cabo.

We were in Zihuatanejo for the day while our cruise was in port and so we made a reservation at the Incredible Thompson resort. From the moment we contacted Vanessa in reservations until the moment we had to leave the experience and service was exceptional. We were able to pay a $70 cover charge that then allowed us to spend that on their delicious food and cocktails which was all served to us at our Cabana overlooking the magical beach of Playa de Ropa. With special thanks to Diego who made our day so memorable as he looked after us with his good humour and unbelievable service. Thank you to the entire Team at the restaurant and beach for making our day the highlight of our entire holiday and we highly Recomebded a day like we experienced to anyone staying at Zihuatanejo as this is a magnificent 5 star luxury resort in an incredible spot on the beach.

Every Thing, Literal was Perfect!!! Service, Rooms, Location, Beach, food, perfect place for couples & Small Families..when i went there was only one Restaurant the other were in renovation, that was the only thing bad if can say so!!!?

Rooms are great, contemporary design, clean, comfortable, excellent beds, property is beautiful. Housekeeping was great and almost invisible. Staff are all very friendly and helpful .... Three people in particular were extremely attentive, friendly, helpful, always smiling and a joy to be with. Juan at the beach was always there at our palapa with a smile ready to provide anything we needed, Jorge and Marcos at the main bar, also cheery and smiling, extremely friendly and warm, made the best drinks, served us great meals at the bar and helped us with our terrible Spanish. Our only critiques would be that it would be nice to have a covered, common ocean-view area with self-guided activities such as ping pong, games or shuffle board in which to hang out during rainy days/nights. The weekend evening club scene and constant blaring house music at the main restaurant area was a bit loud and trendy for our taste and not in keeping with the local culture or vibe. The "rain" shower heads in the room are nice, but should be secondary to a normal wall head. Otherwise, a great experience. We'd definitely return for another visit.

What a great place! The stetting, the beach, the grounds, the service, the food and drink was simply amazing! Juan, our beach waiter, was incredible and Jorge was great at the bar! I highly recommend this property and will return!
