If this is what you want: Lot's of sun and swimming. The most beautiful, comfortable and exceptional living. All environmental good planned. Mexican gourmet food. Full privacy. A small genuine picturesque village with excellent ice cream. Spectacular views, the beach, cliffs and extraordinary wildlife like National Geographic live with whales, dolphins, turtles,alligators, lguanas, birds en masse, butterflies and on on. Opportunities to do close up whale-watching, snorkeling, diving, kayaking and hiking. Just lay in the sun or hammock listening to the waves reading a book. Pete to give you a healing and very professional massage. All of this just one hour away from the airport. Go to CASA MAJAHUA!!!!!!  We want to bring all of our family and friends from Sweden here, you should too!!!!!

The listing photos may not do this property justice. Communication with owner was first rate; all questions being answered quickly and efficiently. Casa Majahua exudes rustic elegance! There is a great music system in the main house so anybody's iPod can be plugged in and broadcast across the great area and pool. The DVD video library is abundant, but staying inside to watch a movie wasn't a priority for our group -- perhaps during rainy season. There are plenty of family games for evenings. We opted to have Guille cook breakfast and dinner for us the entire week and we were never disappointed. We planned all of the meals with Mariana upon arrival. Note: be sure to bring cash pesos as the village of Troncones is not ready for credit cards and Ixtapa is a fair distance for the nearest ATM. We loved being at the end of the road and hanging out on the property, reading, napping, and walking on the beach and pool - always with a cold beer or margarita in hand. The 2 surfers were impressed with the winter waves. Our fisherman were a stone's throw from the panga (small boats) rentals in Majahua.

Complete privacy, delicious meals, ocean sounds lulling you to sleep every night, friendly staff, spacious design the most spectacular sunsets, your own private beach, your own private infinity pool (with bar stools!) and an outstanding view of the Ocean. We saw whales, dolphins, exotic birds, iguanas, and more. We drank tequila, beer, wine and more. We laughed- a lot. We relaxed. COMPLETELY. We didn't have a car- didn't need one, really, because we never wanted to leave Casa Majahua! Paradise for families, friends, couples.... anyone wanting quality time spent with loved ones in a luxuriously authentic, slightly adventurous and magical place.

Amazing stay at Casa Majahua

Of the countless places I have stayed for both personal and business travel Casa Mahajua ranks among the very best of them, without a doubt. It was 11 days of heaven with ample space, amazing architecture, excellent attention to detail from the staff, incredible food, great fun, sun, and a lot of relaxation. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking to get away with friends or family in a beautiful setting, with enough privacy to relax completely and yet with access to nearby restaurants, outdoor activities, and interesting people. Amazing experience!!

We had a fantastic stay at Casa Majahua. There were 10 of us and could not have asked for a more complete vacation. The villa exceeded our expectations, beautiful beyond belief. Every inch of space was carefully planned. Pool was great..beach was wonderful. We had a chef which is a must. It is quite a drive to buy groceries. They were very acommodating and great cooks. They stocked the kitchen with whatever we wanted. You will have a wonderful,memorable experience if you stay at Casa Majahua. We are still talking about it.

Owner response:I am so glad you all enjoyed it so much! Thanks for choosing Casa Majahua - we look forward to having you and your guests come again another time. Take Care, Michael

Beautiful, beautiful place! I rented Casa Majahua for our wedding in early March. We stayed a week and it was perfect! Many many guests commented how they felt like they were on a movie set. It's an amazing spot. So private, amazing views, great layout and so relaxing, perfect for a big party or wedding. We had our ceremony on the beach and the reception in the garden, the decor was beautiful and Marianna was a gift! This house is great for a group because you hardly know who else is around. You have a lot of room to spread out and get space. There is a couple restaurants in walking distance but most everything is in Troncones. So the bikes really come in handy. We rented a car which was a must to get around with a big group. If you are throwing a party or a wedding...this is by far the best place to rent. I've visiting Troncones twice and visited many house...Casa Majahua hands down is the best venue for a big group in this area. I will for sure rent Casa Majahua again!

Planning a family retreat ... Look no further!

We arrived late in the day and were warmly greeted by Mariana, Alejandro and Don Tino. The sun had just set and estate invited us to come in and relax. Everything was exactly how it had been represented and much more. We had our annual family retreat in this fabulous space. The quiet mornings, spectacular sunsets, the fireflies, butterflies, and the sound of the ocean every moment of our days, grounded us back to where we needed to be... The staff were extremely gracious to us and took care of the property meticulously. Mariana was a life saver and was there to help us as needed. We are already planning to come back next year and would recommend this space to anyone looking for the special place to spend time away from it all.

Amazing getaway vacation

An amazing property for a group getaway. The pictures don't really do it justice. The setup with multiple buildings provides everyone in the group the option of privacy at any time. We were there for a week the beginning of July, 2010 and I didn't want the week to end. If you let Mariana take care of everything you won't have to think or worry about anything for your entire visit. The biggest decisions of the day were pool or ocean, beer or tequila. This is a deliciously secluded spot. If you want to be close to the action this is not for you. This is a place to unwind and relax. We had a cook come in so we didn't even have to leave for food. And the meals were amazing! However, if you do want some activities Mariana can arrange that. We went snorkeling one day and had a great outing.

I had the pleasure of staying at Casa Majahua for a full week in July 2010. I was there with my partner and a group of friends (there were between 10-12 of us staying there at any one time). Words can't describe how great this place is. The majority of the property is open air, so you really get to hear the waves, feel the ocean breezes, and enjoy the amazing location. I was afraid that it would be too hot and muggy in the non-AC rooms but that was not the case at all, and the breeze was great. Everything about the whole property is top-notch -- I am very finicky from a design point of view and I really loved this place. Very beautiful and natural, and fits into the surrounding environment perfectly. There is not much to do in Troncones itself, so visiting this place is all about enjoying the "compound." The amenities were awesome -- gorgeous pool, boogie boards, bicycles, etc. Everything we needed was there. We spent an amazing week just swimming, relaxing in the hammocks, walking on the beach, playing games, reading, making margaritas... This property is especially good for families or groups of friends who primarily want to spend time with each other, having fun around the property, and making the occasional excursion or day trip around the area. I can't rave enough about the staff, from the local property managers Mariana and Alejandro to the extremely friendly folks who cooked and cleaned. For a very small fee we had 2 amazing meals prepared for us each day -- I definitely recommend this, it made our trip so worry-free, and her food was fantastic, especially the chile rellenos! The staff also arranged trips into Zihua/Ixtapa and a day-long snorkeling boat for us, both of which were great. We had such an amazing experience at Casa Majahua. I really have no "criticisms" at all and would not have changed a thing. We will definitely return again soon!
