Cares Melt Away While Dreams Come True
From the morning's first rays of light peeking over the mountains to the last glowing embers of the sun slipping into the sea you will enjoy a bird's eye view from your terrace at Casa La Vida.
One of the nicest features of this condo are the stackable glass doors that span the entire front wall of the living room. When fully open, nothing obstructs the spectacular views of the gentle, curving bay that makes Zihuatanejo so special. The protected bay offers great swimming and snorkeling without all the crowds.
You will feel like you are on top of the world but the soft, golden sand is only steps away from your door.
Inside Casa La Vida, the outstanding amenities include kingsize beds with mattresses that are truly comfortable. Lots of pillows and 600 count Egyptian cotton sheets add to the pleasure of being lulled to sleep by the sound of the waves lapping at the shore. Wake in the master bedroom in what could be described as an infinity bed, another spectacular view of the bay with the ocean beyond. The guest bedroom also has a comfortable king and opens to a small private terrace.
You will enjoy preparing meals in our sparkling new, quality kitchen. Granite countertops provide ample room and modern appliances include a refrigerator providing drinkable water and ice at the push of a button. In fact you can feel confident about drinking water from all the taps as our complex has a state of the art water filtration system.
Both bathrooms are quite luxurious, huge showers feature built in marble benches and the towels are thick and fluffy.
The restful breezes of the bay are always pleasant but if you want to cool down a bit more, there are fans and quiet air conditioning in all rooms.
When leaving the condo you can feel secure. There is a built in safe for your valuables and the building has electronic locked gates, a security guard, intercom system and private elevator.
At the beach you can engage in a multitude of sun, sea and sand activities or you can just leisurely stroll along the waters edge. The many beachfront restaurants allow you to enjoy gourmet dishes while wiggling your toes in the sand. A different dining experience for each day of the week is possible. Some of our favorites are Paty's,fresh fruits and vegetables accompany a large variety of seafood and traditional Mexican dishes. Try a glass of fresh pressed papaya and pineapple juice with breakfast.Paty's also offers morning yoga classes upstairs.Arturo and Raul are always happy to see you. If you arrive in the afternoon, settle in by exchanging one of Elvira's coupons for a complimentary drink with dinner.The Coconut shrimp is heavenly and the after dinner Kahlua and cream is a nice touch. La Perla is a little farther down the beach, the breezy open-air bar stocks different varieties of tequila just right for sipping or made into one of the best Margaritas on the beach. Next to your own front row seat onLa Vida's terrace, they are all wonderful spots to watch the sunset.
There are also many things to do just a taxi drive away. Our favorite taxi driver is "Ronnie" He speaks excellent English and has been working in the area for over fifteen years.He can take you to all the popular spots or make suggestions for more out of the way places.
Some of the water activities you can enjoy on the bay are jet skis, kayaks, parasailing or riding the banana boat.For something extra special, book a snorkel or sunset cruise on the catamaran The Picante. I've even seen water skiers out on the bay in the mornings when the surf is calm. There are tents set up along the beach where massage is offered. It's a very relaxing treat to be pampered with the sound of the waves, the soft breeze and skilled hands.
Ixtapa offers the nightlife and there are two top notch golf courses. While Troncones is popular for surfing and long quiet stretches of beach to gather shells or stop in at one of the many restaurants for lunch or just a cool drink.
When you stay at the Casa La Vida you are part of an exclusive complex of only 6 units and most of the other residents are there full time. Respect for the tranquility and privacy enjoyed by all is of the utmost importance. Casa La Vida is a non-smoking condo. The tranquil nature of La Vida is such that it is more suited to adults, we do not allow children under sixteen.
Check-in time is 3pm Check-out time is 11:00 am, If you have a late flight you are welcome to store your luggage and use the pool, there is a shower, bathroom and changing area.
Our large infinity pool is never crowded, a great spot to celebrate toasting the end of another wonderful day in paradise.
