Guerrero's state health officials register 65 currently active cases of Covid-19 in Zihuatanejo, 1 in La Unión, 12 in Petatlán, 703 in Acapulco, and 1,184 for the entire state of Guerrero. Remember to mask up around others. If you feel ill the Centro de Salud "El Embalse" offers free testing during work days from 10AM until 2PM. See their phone numbers in my Clinics & Hospitals section.

Hotel Villas Las Azucenas is an enchanting small luxurious boutique hotel with a pool and a rooftop restaurant located just a few steps from the beach at Playa La Ropa right behind Villa Mexicana.
