Cool garden waterfalls, enchanted lagoons and elegant adobe-inspired villas nestle along one of Mexico´s premier beaches to make up the romantic Tides Zihuatanejo (formerly Villa del Sol). Included on Travel + Leisure 500 List and named “Most Outstanding Hotel” by Condé Nast Johansens, The Tides Zihuatanejo hotel in Ixtapa-Zihuatanejo blends the casual romance of beachfront lifestyle with the coveted seclusion of a lush garden retreat. Seventy guestrooms and suites afford stunning jungle and ocean views across a tranquil private beach. Relaxed contentment is made complete with award winning Mexican-Pacific cuisine, 3 swimming pools including a spectacular seaside infinity pool, an intimate spa and superb service.
Central to the relaxed allure of every Tides property is a memorable beachfront experience that intuitively delivers on guests´ needs. The Tides Zihuatanejo newly enhanced beachfront lives up to this expectation with a number of enhancements, such as a high-noon complimentary beverage refresher service. To ensure non-interrupted tanning time, Beach Butlers offer tanning products, neck cushions, pre-loaded iPods and pool and ocean-side dining and cocktail services. A special night with mouthwatering specialties featuring the most representative dishes of the Mexican Republic is held most Fridays.
The Tides name evokes coastal serenity and ocean-inspired pleasures – which inevitably means only the freshest seafood. The resort´s new brand-signature La Marea restaurant, offers a casual ambiance and carefully crafted menus of Mediterranean/Mexican fare. The Coral Bar offers colorful ceviche selections comprised of daily creations and a Tequila Maestro who facilitates tastings of Mexico´s world-famous spirit in a variety of premium offerings.

"...Authentically Elegant. I think that sums it up!!! the grounds, beach and room were just beautiful. Immaculately kept!! the staff could not have been more pleasant. The food and service was wonderful... I would highly recommend the Tides to anyone. Sophisticated but unpretentious. The subtle touches....towels to wash your hands before eating, the fruits and spice selection for your bottle water...very nice. And hats off to you too Rocio, you are a pleasure to correspond with and very accommodating."

"The hotel specializes in sunset weddings and small receptions on the beach. Most couples opt for a low-key reception, swapping stilettos for the Spanish guitar of a local mariachi band and a spread of Mexican fare, including cactus salad, ceviche, enchiladas an chicken mole, but you can go as festive or formal as you wish..."–Destination Weddings & Honeymoons -Mexico´s Most Romantic Resorts. Fall 2007
"Long since honed into an oasis of luxury, the hotel...is a collection of individual designs and tastes which also reflect the history of the hotel."
—Martin Kunz - Best Designed Wellness Hotels, 2002.
