We went to 6 or 7 restaurants in Zih/Ixtapa on this trip. For the value and view was the best. We were a party of 8. I had the surf and turf. The steak was really good, the shrimp was tasty as well. The lobster was on the small side, but good. I think for a party of 8 with... More

We went to La Escollera twice for lunch and a swim in their infinity pool. The food is fantastic and the view is hard to beat. The first time we went, we also did the eco tour that you schedule through the restaurant. The tour took about an hour or so and was well worth the small price. We learned... More

This was our second visit to La Escollera. The view and the pool are still great. Nice place to spend a quiet afternoon. We had originally planned on on doing the afternoon and dinner, but decided to do a late lunch. Lets just say that the fish and tacos we ordered were not very good. I had an order of... More

This is a small restaurant of around 5 tables that is on the south hill beyond Playa la Ropa, overlooking the bay. The service was outstanding. Wine list was varied, but like much of Mexico, expensive if you wanted something other than Mexican wine (most bottles of white were in the $40 USD range). The portion sizes are large. We... More

my wife and I were recomended from friends and loved it, its quiet and has an amazing view of the bay. The food is local seafood dishes during lunch but they also have a longer menu for dinner. If you want to escape the volume of the beach and quietly sunbake with good service i would recommend without hesitation

We visit La Escollera every time we stay in Zihuatanejo. We have spent afternoons at their pool and had lunch/drinks there. You can wear your suit or change in their bathrooms which are very clean. We also try to have one or two dinners there every year. It is the BEST view of Zihuatanejo!! You can see La Escollera very... More

If for no where else to go, you must go to La Escollera for lunch and wear your bathing suit under your clothes. The view is beautiful of La Ropa bay, the endless pool is fabulous and that's about it. The food is average and the staff is somewhat bothered by you coming. I take friends and family there every...

My husband and I visited this beautiful paradise for our 10th wedding aniversay upon the advise from your neighbours in Zihuat. We arrived at 1:00pm when they open and were greeted graciously. Pool chair lounges were brought out for our enjoyment and the day began. The view is spectacular. We enjoyed drinks around the pool and had a wonderful lunch.... More

Beautiful restaurant high above the bay, with a view over everything, and a lovely terrace pool. Many Zihua restaurants brag of their great views, but this restaurant offers the most spectacular view that we have experienced. Also on premises: a "biopark" with a botanical garden and a mini-zoo. I am a margarita aficionado and the frozien one I was served... More
