FAQs

Question

When do we need to book our hotel room?

Answer

The hotel is holding the rooms and honoring our group rate until 30 days before the wedding. All rooms are first come, first served, so if there's a specific room category you want, you should reserve it in case it sells out.

Question

How far is downtown Zihuatanejo?

Answer

We were able to walk there in about 25 minutes, but keep in mind there is a very steep hill to get there. Alternatively, it is an easy 5 minute cab ride and there is a taxi stand right outside the hotel and the valet can call a car over for you.

Question

Do I need to take a Covid test to leave Mexico?

Answer

Currently (as of December 2021), the US requires a Covid PCR test taken 72 hours prior to departure. Proof of a negative test is required to board your plane back to the US. If you wish, the Thompson arranges for a nurse to come to the hotel to administer the test for approximately $30 USD. Alternatively, you can take the test at the airport, but there may be a wait. If the US Covid regulations change, we will update this answer.

Question

Do I need to rent a car?

Answer

Unless you plan on traveling to the further beaches (La Saladita, Troncones, etc.), you probably do not need a car. Everything is walkable or accessible via taxi and the area we are in is very safe. Downtown Zihua is a 5 minute cab or 25 minute walk from the hotel. If you do choose to rent a car, you can do so at the airport and the hotel has free overnight parking.
