Luxury Beach Bargains at the Tides Zihuatanejo

Villas on the sand? Check. Award-winning Mexican cuisine? Check. Spa and sparkling pools? All that and more. The Tides Zihuatanejo-- as elegant as they come-- has racked up the awards for its romantic accommodations and superb facilities. Formerly called the Villa del Sol, this jewel of a resort is nestled on one of the best beaches on Zihuatanejo Bay. We love the "Sol y Mar" special where guests can relax with the sun and sea while getting 30 percent off the nightly room rate, 30 percent off spa services, an upgrade for $30 and complimentary breakfast for 2 daily. And we've learned from Conde Nast Traveler's Perrin Post that another special deal, offering every other night free, has been extended through the end of October.
