Why the Owner Chose Ixtapa
We chose Ixtapa for the weather (30 degrees year round!) and we chose Amara because of its location. You can't beat Amara's location - directly off the main area of downtown Ixtapa and in the middle of Ixtapa beach.
The Unique Benefits at this Condo
We travel with our 3 children and we have found it very difficult to find accomodations that suit our lifestyle. We like the comforts of home and what better way to have them when you travel then to have your own place. We equipe and treat our unit like our home, not just as a rental. We like the conveniences that TV and WiFi bring and I love to send my business associates views from my "office" when i'm working remotely from the balcony in Ixtapa!

Your unit was perfect for my family and friends! It had all the ammenities we needed and then some. We especially loved the comfortable beds and bedding. The kids loved having their own rooms and TV's and we all appreciated the private WiFi available in the unit. Your property manager was great help - She met with us when we arrived and showed us how the electronic door lock worked. We also liked the information brochure your provided us - it really came in handy preparing us for the airport and avoiding the timeshare traps. We will definately be back and I will recommend it to all my friends. Thanks.
