Located on one of the Mexican Riviera's most beautiful beaches, The Tides Zihuatanejo is a small and intimate tropical paradise where spacious suites invite you to romance, relax and rest after you wedding.

The Tides Zihuatanejo is no hotel in the usual sense, mind you. It is a magical place. Although the hotel lies right on the fine white sands of Zihuatanejo's Playa La Ropa - by many accounts one of Mexico's most beautiful beaches - if you look towards it from the ocean you will hardly know it is there. As if by a miracle, The Tides Zihuatanejo disappears in the lush vegetation, and it seems that only if you squint real hard, you will see a few terracotta-tiled and thatched "palapa" rooftops peeking out of the green sea of rustling coconut palms.

We cannot guarantee you that your marriage will be forever happy and last a lifetime (although we are pretty sure you will work very hard on this just to be able to come back to The Tides Zihuatanejo every year to celebrate your anniversary!) but you can rest assured that neither you nor your friends and family will ever forget your wedding at The Tides Zihuatanejo.

So, whenever you are ready, just remember to bring your passports, tourist cards and birth certificates, and we will supply the rest, including warm sand, a gorgeous sunset, a mariachi band and the Justice of the Peace. We will even volunteer to sign as your witnesses.

Naturally, weddings are not the only fiestas we love to celebrate with you. Just ask, and let us take care of all the details for a perfectly romantic proposal or engagement dinner. We will make your first anniversary just as unforgettable as your 25th and we guarantee you will feel younger than ever when you celebrate your birthday here at The Tides Zihuatanejo.

Although we try not to think about it here in Paradise, in the real world there are such things as board meetings, and if you have to have them, you may as well have them in one of the nicest places on Earth. We will be happy to accommodate your small group and custom-tailor your event. Grab your happily striped towel, step from the terrace onto the palm-shaded private beach, drape yourself on a comfortable lounge chair and get ready for total bliss.

It doesn't get much better than this: a mile-long, crescent-moon shaped beach with fine white sand and swaying palm trees in a sheltered bay off the Pacific Ocean. Many call our beach the most beautiful one in all of Mexico.

Today our private patch of beach, which stretches for 600 feet along the blue waters of the tranquil bay, is our proudest possession. The warm waters, naturally sheltered from the Pacific, are ideal for swimming and all kinds of water sports year round. At The Tides Zihuatanejo we make arrangements for windsurfing, sailing, water-skiing, snorkeling or scuba diving. Of course, our beach is also perfect for doing nothing at all, just relax on a comfortable lounge chair, and read your favorite book.
