Simply Spectacular

Our stay at villa was 10 days of perfection. We had not been to Zihuatanejo previously, so we were unsure if we should book a villa rather than a hotel. We are so very thankful we made the decision to stay here. With a staff of housekeeper, cook and personal concierge, we were better taken care of than even the nicest hotel could offer. The villa is very private, safe and meticulously maintained. The house is large, with expansive ocean views from all rooms. We loved the open air concept. All the bedrooms are ensuite, and have air conditioning to keep you comfortable at night. The villa is perfectly located at the north end of Playa La Ropa. There is a private gated stair from the house to the beach (approx. 65 steps), which is easily accessible for routine beach walks, swims and of course the many beach restaurants on PLR. To get to Zihua town, it is a 15 minute walk, or short taxi ride. They are very easy to flag in front of the villa, as it is on the main road between Zihua town and PLR. But we were most content lounging at the villa on most days. The endless ocean vistas never got old. There is a stunning infinity edge pool, comfortable lounge chairs, a couch and a very large outdoor patio space. We could watch the activity on the beach, the parasailers, and the boats, all from the comfort of our private pool and patio. And, as a bonus, the sunsets are spectacular. Our cook, Maribeli, made some of our best meals while in Zihua. She cooks breakfast and lunch each day. Her food is delicious, fresh and locally sourced. Her ceviche dishes and her coconut prawns should be on a restaurant menu, it is that good. The housekeeper, Itzel, kept everything spotlessly clean. Our concierge, Sergio, was easily reached and very helpful. He speaks English fluently. He arranged airport transfers, a trip to the grocery store and a boat tour for us. We will be back! A huge thank you to Maribeli, Itzel and Sergio for executing service deserving of a 5* hotel.
