Not doing any more Covid-19 reports until there's something to report.

Before the idiotic Blue Flag rules were imposed against the will of locals, besides other things we used to be able to enjoy beach parties around a bonfire under a full moon. The type of party that we called a LUNATA where we'd enjoy ourselves, folks would play guitars and sing, and we would of course clean up after the party was over. Can't do that on any beaches in Bahía de Zihuatanejo anymore. Bummer! Progress? ¡Para nada! Es una estupidez. Those disco parties with blaring music and tiki torches held at some beach bar at La Ropa don't even come close.

Enjoy the full moon tonight!

Construction has begun at Playa La Madera for more view-blocking 3-story Polynesian palapas made with concrete. There is now concrete embedded on the beach at La Madera, something that had been prohibited before the current mayor came along. I am disappointed that those lodging operators aren't protesting. They're going to lose the views of the beach and the bay that they currently enjoy, and I'm pretty sure a few of those tall palm trees will come down same as they did all along Playa Mochada, I mean Playa Principal. Extremely disappointing and a damn shame. I thought views were part of what we sold here. Views of the bay, not the mayor's brainfarts. If you stay on Playa La Madera and prefer the view of the bay to the view of 3-story palapas, then I urge you to be sure to express your opinion to your lodging operator. #PobrePueblo

For affordable lodging close to the beach at La Ropa, one of the places I recommend is Arecas Suites. A small complex located in "the coconut grove" that features air-conditioned suites with kitchenettes and a pool.
