Top 10 Budget-friendly Things to do in Zihuatanejo, Guerrero

March 15, 2022 Malia Yoakum

While resorts continue to spring up, "Zihua" remains determined to maintain its small-town flavor. The brick-paved "fisherman's walk," a nod to the region's seafaring roots, stretches along the town center. Because the nightlife is mostly informal, Zihua is particularly appealing to couples and those seeking an escape from coastal party towns.

Deisy's Massage

Deisy's massage will relax and rejuvenate you. She provides Swedish, Theraputic, back and neck, and deep tissue massage, as well as facials and reflexology. Deisy was trained in the US for all these and therefore provides the typical "feel good massage" as well as a much more therapeutic massage with her deep tissue techniques. Deisy and her staff are friendly and welcoming and always professional. The facility is clean and tidy, and offers relaxing comfort with quiet music and cooling fans. Make your appointment as much in advance as you can by phone,by email, or just drop by and put your name in her appointment book.

My husband and I have been getting massages from Deisy 3 times a week for the past 10 years. We have watched her business grow because of her hard work and passion, into the beautiful spa it is today. All of the girls were trained by Deisy and they are excellent. I recommend making a reservation because even though she has 2 locations at La Ropa Beach, she fills up the appointment book very quickly. She also offers manicures and pedicures and has her own line of organic creams, one of which is an amazing pain treatment.

Playa Larga

With almost two miles of sand, this beach is ideal for long walks, jogging or soaking up rays.

Reviewed By rejuvenate - Manitoba, Canada

like vast, it stretches for miles and miles and can you say uncrowded, oh my goodness, not a soul in sight and even if there were, there's more than enough room for all so picturesque, the sparkly ocean at its side, with mountains and hills its backdrop remarkably unspoilt in its pristine coastal location its golden fine sands make it perfect for walking and running (just don't cross it in the afternoon!) with great caution advised - the crashing waves at its shoreline demand respect make it spectacular and magnificent all the same the perfect place to lose yourself and just breathe grateful to experience such wondrous beauty!!
