“Hotel Catalina Beach Resort is a storied, if slightly timeworn, retreat set directly on Playa La Ropa. The views of Zihuatanejo Bay are undeniable, and the setting, amid lush tropical gardens, evokes an earlier era of Mexican hospitality. However, some may find the steep stairways challenging, and evolving policies regarding pets and noise could impact the tranquil atmosphere.”
