Casa Plata, Condominios LeBlon, Punte Diamonte, Puerto Escondido, Oaxaca
In a town where even the supermarket has a great view, our condo has a mind-blowing view of the bay, from the Faro to Zicatela (one of the world's top ten surfing beaches)to la Punta and then, across the great Oceano Pacifico to the ends of the earth.
Our new condo, Casa Plata, is dramatically located on a cliff above the Mirador, facing southeast toward Zicatela beach. It is within walking distance or if you prefer, a 25 peso cab ride, to all of Puerto Escondido's best attractions, beaches, boating, surfing, shopping, and restaurants. From our balcony we typically see dolphins, whales, turtles, manta rays, schools of jumping fish, bobbing heads of surfers at Zicatela, working fishing boats –enough to keep you entranced for hours on end, especially if you are sitting in one of our two serenity chairs on the balcony! The escenico andador, also known as "un sueno possible" on tomzap, winds along the foot of the cliffs from Playa Principale to the condo, giving the athletic and adventurous another way to get to town.
Our property manager will share with you her favorite places in town - she speaks English, German and Spanish and has lived in Puerto since the 90's. With maid service five times a week, and all linens and kitchen equipment on site, all you need is a bathing suit and a toothbrush to completely enjoy yourself.
Casa Plata is a luxury condo that's very easy to live with - living and dining areas are open to the palapa roof, screens help keep out the (very few) mozzies that make their way to our floor. All water in the condo is purified. Ceiling fans keep the air cool - but if you overheat, each bedroom is separately fitted with an air conditioning unit. Drinks on the balcony are the perfect opportunity to watch the lights come on in town as the sun goes down after another perfect day- and maybe this will be the place you finally see the green flash!
We think of Puerto as old Mexico - a sleepy Mexican port city, in an incredibly beautiful setting. The bustling mercado, the fishing boats lined up in the bay in front of Playa Principale, all speak of old Mexico. The international surfer influence over the last fifty years has added depth to this little town: great pizza from a wood burning stove, vegetarian, sushi and Portugese food are found as easily as guacamole and margaritas.
A savoir: Puerto ne presente aucun danger et l'accueil y est de plus chaleureux et respectueux.

The penthouse is beautiful and well maintained. It looks out on Playa Zicatela and the main town of Puerto Escondido. There is nothing better than waking up and looking out at the beach or seeing the sunset at night. It is a short walk from the Rinconada's cantina's and Playa Carrizalillo or Puerto Angelito for fishing. We never felt in danger once and enjoyed the condo immensely. The bedrooms are large and comfortable w/ AC and the bathrooms are luxurious. The penthouse is at the end of the cliffside walk to town and the Adoquin. It truly has to be seen to be believed, I would highly recommend to anyone.
Recommended for:Romantic getaway, age 55+, families with teenagers, families with young children.

Perched on the clifftop, like a sentinel watching the world go by, this is paradise indeed. Gentle breezes waft through the balcony, keeping the evening air cool, perfect to watch the sunset over one of the world's best beaches. This condo has everything, inside and out. Comfortable, convenient to everything, spacious and stylish. And the vista is unparalleled on this coast. Activities all around for young and old, or perhaps a siesta in the serenity chairs? A true escape.

Absolutely beautiful!!!! If you're looking to experience everything that Mexico is truly all about, this is your place. Not your typical tourist crowded Mexican resort, this is what our family had been looking for for so long. Relax in the balcony's jacuzzi after a day on the beach. Magnificent views, brand new construction with all the amenities, fully equiped. Walking distance to town center, $5 usd Taxi ride to restaurants and beaches.
