Villa el morro

Hey y’all my family and I will be visiting Zihua in June and was wondering how safe it is and if y’all can tell me anything about Villa El Morro (I’ve been reading it’s a hard place to get to because one has to go up a bunch of steps) any good food near Villa el Morro that’s good and cheap? Thanks you for any info I can get.

It's not an easy place to walk to, but that's the price you pay for their spectacular view. There are only a few restaurants nearby you could walk to from there relatively easily, but I believe you'll find walking downhill isn't such a hassle, but you'll mostly take taxis to get back up the hill.

I'm sure you'll enjoy your stay there.

Safety? Not really an issue for tourists unless you hang out late at bars and walk around at night looking like a robbery victim waiting to happen. Just be aware of your surroundings and use the same common sense you would in any town and you should be fine.

We have friends from our town who have stayed at El Morro a couple of months each winter for many years. They really like it.
They are now 82 and still walk down...and up almost every day of their stay!

We went and took a look at Villa el Morro a couple of years ago. The suites were lovely and the views are stunningly beautiful. The gentleman who showed us around was very kind and we were very impressed. Unfortunately it was booked solid for our vacation dates so we were out of luck.

We stayed there a couple of years ago. Because of a mix up- the guest stayed an extra night and there was no vacancies. We were put up in another hotel by the canal for Saturday night. The owner sent a taxi the next morning for us and we were reimbursed for all our taxi fees. For Sunday, got the best unit(penthouse). Was a corner unit at the top of the stairs with 2 bedrooms, Kitchen and large living room. Did not need AC- could open the sliding doors for the living room and the kitchen with the over head fan there was a wonderful breeze flowing through. Villa Morro has one of the best views of any of the hotels. Was funny, when we got up looking down at the pier when we stayed there, here were the fishermen throwing nets in to catch bait with the pelicans sitting on the front of their boats. We have been staying at another of his properties for years. The owner is a Great Person, and tries to help his returning guest. Basically, you have to make reservations for the following year if you want your unit and weeks. I waited 1 week and the unit I wanted was already rented for Jan 2020 at Villa Mercedes. The only complaint is r/t to town- we walked down and took taxi back. There is a bunch of stairs down to the road that goes to the Yacht Club. There is a upscale restaurant in a resort just down the road from Villa Morro with a great view of the bay.

Stayed in a house next door to Villa El Morro last year. Love that area, quiet and mostly residential. The view is spectacular. Walking into town is a bit of a challenge going down 200+ stairs but Casa Bahia is at the foot of the staircase so you can make a pit stop for a cold one! There's a very nice place across the street from Casa Bahia too, don't remember the name. Unless you're training for an Iron Man I would suggest getting a taxi back. The view makes everything worthwhile, especially at sunrise and at night. Enjoy!
