Escape From Everything at This Silent, Solar-Powered, Artisan-Made New Hotel on the Mexican Coast
The main strip of Zihuatanejo, near the southern end of Mexico's Pacific coast, is basically a resort town — choked with all-inclusives, timeshares, jet skis, infinity pools, and all the other hallmarks of Big Travel, which favors convenience and familiarity over intimacy and locality. But drive an hour south, into an area of tropical wilderness below the Sierra Madre del Sur mountains that's interrupted only by small towns, and you'll arrive at Hotelito, a 13-bedroom boutique hotel that's the epitome of considered, off-the-grid peacefulness.
