Zihuatanejo RV space?

Thanks so much for your help.
Yesterday we got a message from El Manglar and they had a cancellation!! We have a space!
We are very excited to try out this new adventure.
Gracias
Mike

It may not be what you want, but if your heart is set on Zihuatanejo for the winter (and we SO get it) you may have to take another approach and be flexible. Instead of trying to find a solid three month chunk of time, just take what you can get. Show up, take what is available. If you have to leave for a while, check at Real de las Palmas. Try Playa Linda, hopefully get another month or whatever, have to leave for a bit and return for more. Acapulco isn't far away, an easy drive. We always enjoyed it too!

I think the only way you are going to get your foot in the door at either RV park here in Zihuatanejo is to be flexible, show up and get established so that if this is your paradise, you can get your 3 months in the future.

It's called Costa Bella and no longer takes RV's. They put a pool in where the RV's parked.

We were the last ones in there, they let us stay until we moved into our house.

Thanks Tallyhoe.

Thanks again for your help. We contacted Real de las Palmas but they didn’t have anything available for the time we are looking at. I will contact El Manglar again tomorrow and let them know that we are still interested and see what happens. Hopefully we can get in somewhere. Playa Linda is not what we are looking for but we will see what happens. We are really looking for something that is closer to the pickleball courts!!
We really appreciate your help!!
Thanks again

There is a little place right outside the gate from el manglar. It rents vacation appartments but has 8 or 10 spots that fit smaller RV’s. We stayed there for a week or so with our 22 foot class C. I don’t know how to get in touch with them but maybe ask the folks at el mangiar.

Good luck.

I just talked to a friend who has spent the winter at El Manglar for many many years. (except Covid years) Right now there is lots of space. Two rigs left this morning leaving 4 there. He said that there hasn't been any long term availability in many years, and that Memo does keep very good track of who is coming and going, so if he said there isn't space available for a 3 months stay, it is undoubtedly correct. Memo does not live in Zihuatanejo.

Thanks for the information! I will try to call them today and see what they have.
We are still trying to get into El Manglar.
Thanks again

Other than the park at the end of Playa Linda in Ixtapa, you might be out of luck.

Did you contact the hotel, Real de las Palmas, in front of the other RV park, which no longer has a sign in front of it? Here is the number for the hotel: 755 554 9095. It still exists, we know a couple who has lived there permanently for 5 years, but the sign is gone and it is showing as closed on line.

Other than showing up at El Manglar and hoping for the best, we don't have anymore suggestions for you, unfortunately.
