Hello,

We will be staying at Brisas del Mar, and my sister will be staying at Villa Mexicana. We were wondering about the walk between the two. I realize the taxi is a quick and inexpensive option but I plan to eat alot...so the walk sometimes might be a great option for me and my clothes. How steep is the hill? And is the neighborhood we would be walking through safe? Last question, do they still have inexpensive massages at Villa Mexicana?

Thanks for your help!

Just take the city street up to the Irma Hotel...then the sidewalk that runs along the road that goes along laRopa...all hotels and condos along the way...be careful as the sidewalk is missing in a couple of spots...15 minute walk... Yes, nice massages in the corner of the beach area/sand area at Villas Mex...

The hill is rather steep although a lot of folks do hike it.

The Absolute best massage in Zihua is right below your hotel from Antonia who sets up a small tent on Madera.

A long hour for 200 pesos she actually is a professionally trained Masseuse unlike many who professed to be on the beaches.
