The Tides Zihuatanejo features a large infinity pool with a swim-up bar, cushioned lounge chairs and thatched roofs that shade guests on the 600-foot sandy beach. Meandering pathways allow guests to wander extensive tropical gardens of coconut palms, bamboo, hibiscus and bougainvillea. The resort spa provides health and beauty treatments, including massage, sauna, and salon services. The hotel also has a gift shop, movie library and art gallery. The hotel's in-house La Villa Restaurant is located next to the beach and serves authentic Mexican, French, and International-style cuisine, as well as, Mediterranean-style dishes and seafood entrees. The hotel also has two other bars, La Marea Bar and Coral Bar.

Housed in two-story casitas amid tropical gardens, all 70 guestrooms feature Mexican handcrafts and artwork, dark wood contemporary furnishings, and white and cream-colored fabrics that complement the tropical serene surroundings. All rooms have private, furnished terraces with views of the gardens, lagoon, or ocean. Bathrooms are tiled with marble and stone and rooms have air-conditioning and ceiling fans. Additional amenities include premium bedding, separate sitting areas, satellite TV, minibars, complimentary toiletries, bathrobes and bottled water that is replenished twice daily.
