Your Stay

Shopping for Food and Supplies

Want to cook meals during your stay? We’ve got you covered. We have kitchens in all of our buildings ready for you to cook up whatever your hearts desire. We know that some of our favorite memories traveling are grabbing local groceries, cooking and sharing meals with family and friends.

Our kitchens are fully stocked with pots, pans, glassware, plates, utensils etc. You’ll find a coffee maker with a washable filter for your coffee in the morning and a blender for smoothies or maybe some happy hour pina coladas. We also provide 5 gallon bottles of drinking water.

Where to shop:

If you are planning on making meals we recommend shopping at the big supermarket, MEGA, on your drive in from the airport or when visiting Zihuatanejo. Click here for the Google Map directions. For written directions, please visit our Transportation & Directions page.

If you’re up for a little adventure you can drive into Zihua to the Central Mercado to buy local produce, fish and meat. Los Llanos, the local town you drive through right off of the highway, has a few smaller stores where you can also purchase basic groceries and restock.

We do not supply paper towels or condiments so please grab your own if you so desire.

Tortillas

Nothing like a hot homemade tortilla! We recommend getting your tortillas fresh in Los Llanos. There is a little shop on the right hand side just as you come into town off of the highway that sells great fresh tortillas. It’s best to buy them earlier in the day.

Recycle

Glass beer bottles, that are not twist tops, are returnable at most local stores in Los Llanos. Take your empties back when buying more for a discount.

Arrange a meal with a Local Cook

Not in the mood to cook? Our manager Beto will be happy to arrange meals for you. See Additional Services for details about meals.

RESTAURANTS

Playa la Saladita

If you’re in the mood to eat out, just a short beach walk away there are several local mexican restaurants on Playa la Saladita. Take a stroll and eat at Illeanet’s, Pacos or Jaquelines. Lourdes’ Bar & Grill is always a great place to grab a bite and a drink and watch the point. They’re also known to blend up some tasty daiquiris.

Los Llanos

A quick drive away you can experience authentic local cuisine at The World Famous Chicken Lady’s as well as a string of other rustic local restaurants along the strip in Los Llannos, the local town right before the highway. If you’re concerned about your stomach at these little local eateries, it may be wise not to eat raw vegetables or anything containing mayonnaise.

Troncones

If you’re in the mood for a little adventure, a 15 minute drive away there are many delicious restaurants in Troncones (please see our Transportation/Directions page).

Here are a few we enjoy…

Roberto’s Bistro is the place to get a good argentinian steak with chimichurri. If you go on a Saturday you’ll be in for some local nightlife fun. They often have a local cover band playing and an open outdoor dance floor awaiting your best moves.

The Inn at Manzanillo Bay is a wonderful Mexican restaurant with an Asian twist and their margaritas will have you relaxing in no time. Their fish tacos with a wasabi mayo never disappoint and the Thai Shrimp tacos are a well loved appetizer.

If you’re in the mood for pizza Cafe del Sol is your place. With their wood burning stove, sandwiches and smoothies it’s a great stop for a lunch or dinner. Keep in mind, they are usually closed from May 1st-November 1st.

Cafe Mexicana serves up tasty Mexican food with many fresh seafood options, and word on the street is their guava margaritas are to die for. They also have live music on some nights.
