The “Drug Lord’s Mansion” of Zihuatanejo
Location: Hillside above Playa La Ropa, visible from the anchorage — a vast white structure half-finished, with crumbling terraces and overgrown gardens.
History & Legend
Locals often refer to it as La Casa del Narco, a nickname rather than an official name. The story goes that it was commissioned in the late 1980s or early 1990s by a wealthy businessman — widely rumored to have cartel ties — who wanted to build the most luxurious mansion on the coast. Construction began but was abruptly halted after his arrest (or disappearance, depending on which version you hear).
The property was abandoned before completion. Over the decades, the jungle slowly reclaimed parts of it, though the skeletal white frame still looms dramatically above La Ropa. Its balconies and grand staircases look out over the entire bay, an eerie reminder of the excess and sudden collapse of fortunes tied to Mexico’s darker trade.
Visiting
The mansion sits on private land and isn’t open to the public, but you can see it clearly from Playa La Ropa or by dinghy in the bay. Local guides sometimes offer informal hikes up the hillside trails nearby, though not inside the structure itself. The view from the ridge line above is spectacular — especially at sunrise or dusk.
Cultural Context
The site has become a local symbol — a contrast to the humble, friendly vibe of Zihuatanejo below. It’s occasionally featured in travel blogs or photography portfolios under names like “Abandoned Mansion Zihuatanejo” or “Casa del Narco.”
For visitors, it’s a reminder of the area’s layered history: once a sleepy fishing village, later a jet-set hideaway, and now a relaxed blend of authenticity and myth

Hummingbird Marina is pleased to be part of the Ocean Posse. Please contact info@hummingbirdmarina for our special member discounts.
Our facility is situated on 10 acres in Placencia Village and located on the lagoon side.
It is approximately 2 miles north of the opening to the lagoon. There is 7 feet of depth available the entire way.
Full- Service Marina and Yard Services offered:
- Full-Service Marina with water and shore power available
- Liveaboard is OK but we prefer No pets
- Vessel Haul Out and storage up to 13 tons. Heavier haul outs can be arranged with some coordination.
- Inboard & Outboard engine services
- Indoor and outdoor storage
- Fuel Station and Convenience Store
- Fishing Tackle
- Fiberglass repairs
- Boat cleaning service
- Barge and Salvage services
- Wifi Access
- 24 hour security and video surveillance
We are located outside the village itself so access to the local stores, bars, restaurants is typically by taxi or a golf cart rental.
It’s important to understand that we are a working marina. We service all the local resorts boats and outboard engines. Activities from these operations sometimes start fairly early. Especially during the high season. Machinery movement typically begins around 7am. The marina itself has a lot of traffic in and out due to the fuel station. But it’s very easy access from the lagoon and larger boats have no trouble maneuvering in the marina.
Max draft is 7’6″ at high tide. We do post max length or width only because it’s usually the lagoon depth that is the limiting factor. We have 2 berths for 100 feet long boats of that size. The rest are for 45 and under.
