The 4 guys from New Jersey arrived last Monday for 6 days, had a great time, caught fish, and will be back next year.
Flew Aeromexico from New York, changed in Mexico City and had no problems either way.
Stayed at Zihua Caracol, Monica at the front desk was very helpful, hotel needs updating, rooms and grounds clean.
Fished 2 days on cruisers, caught 3 Sailfish each day, fished 2 days on pangas, caught lots of inshore fish and a good size dorado.
We had our fish cooked at El Mirador 2 nights, did a good job. Had our fish cooked 2 days at Casa Vieja and they did a superb job.
We met friendly polite people everywhere we went, stopped in at Lupita's and got a referral for buying jewelry, and were very pleased.
It was great to see the fishing pier in such good shape but it's shameful what has happened to the walkway along Madera Beach.
If you've never been to Zihua and you're thinking about it, GO,DON'T WAIT.
See you next year.

Thanks for your terrific report and for sharing your experiences and your impressions! Really glad to hear you caught some keepers and enjoyed eating them. That's what fishing's all about.
Locally we are all upset about the condition of the walkway between La Madera Beach and the downtown beach, but the mayor has recently made an excellent proposal for a budget request that includes repairing the walkway. We should know the response from the federal government in a month or so. Keeping fingers crossed. We're all quite disappointed with our federal congressmen and women who each receive enough discretionary funds to be able to repair things like the walkway or the pier yet who never seem to come through for us when needed. Oh well. We'll get'er done without their help! 
¡Saludos!

Interesting how their reviews have increased since their loud music stopped. One of my best evenings in Zihuatanejo was there when my son and I convinced them, on a slow night, to turn on a hockey game and taught the waiters NHL rules!

There is a very talented gentleman who comes in most evenings at 7:30 who plays keyboard and has a very nice voice.
