- Minimum stay:2 nights
- Internet:Yes
- Pets allowed:No
- Wheel chair accessible:Yes
This property is the nicest unit available for rent in The Residencias Villa Del Sol.
From the moment your plane touches down you will know how special this vacation is going to be. Concierge pickup at the airport will take you to your “vacation home”. The Residencias is the only place that offers the security and amenities of a luxury resort and all the privacy of your own home. As you enter down the walkway with palm tree arches you will know how special “Celito Lindo” is. This special home opens up to gardens filled with tropical flowers and Palms many swimming pools and the amazing beaches of Playa La Ropa. Lupita the maid will make fresh Guacamole, fresh OJ and if you like shop and prepare meals for you. She is a great cook.*
The beds have all been upgraded and are soft and comfortable. The master bedroom has its own private patio and lovely en-suite bath with marble tile and inlaid stone work. There is a 'bunk' room with 4 beds and an ensuite bath as well. Each room has it's own TV and DVD palyer. There is enough separation for privacy. Throughout both these units the quality is apparent. The private Jacuzzi that overlooks the amazing Gardens and Pool are just one element that makes this spot so special. There is a fully equipped kitchen, open floor plan with living room, patio, and dining room that seats 8. There is a second unit that can be opened up for a total of 3 bedrooms and 3 baths, perfect for two families or more. We have a Bose music system, and many different games. I love to play dominoes, Mexican train is a favorite.
We are constantly upgrading to make our home comfortable for the discerning traveler. We have some outstanding artwork that we hope compliments the style of our home. The patio in the living area has doors that slide open so you can enjoy the warmth of Mexico, hear the birds, sip a drink while the sun goes down over the ocean. I love watching all the different varieties of birds in the trees.
If you prefer, meander down through the gardens lined with hibiscus, bougainvillea, and palm trees to one of the restaurants on the beach! The food at The Viceroy is outstanding and you can eat with your toes in the sand. The restaurants also offer more formal dining. All the amenities at The Viceroy Resort are available to our guests. The Viceroy, formally Villa Del Sol, is recognized as one of the outstanding hotels in Mexico by Conde Naste, Travel and Leisure and Esquire.
Please inquire for rates and details to add the unit next door for 3BR/3BA.

At the risk of never being able to book this beautiful condo again I am writing this review because we absolutely loved our recent stay in this unit. The owners are very helpful and the condo is even more spacious and pretty than the photos describe. The unit directly overlooks the large swimming pool dedicated to the condos and was almost always empty. Sun loungers surround and there are outdoor showers, restrooms, and shady areas poolside as well. Behind the unit and up a few steps is a smaller pool with views over the lush resort to the bay; my husband and I were the only ones at this pool for a week. The large plunge pool with surround interior seating on the condo terrace is lovely for a late afternoon dip and if you want additional privacy while cooling off there are roll down blinds to completely screen off the area. The sliding doors and windows do have screens although we did not see a bug all week. The kitchen was well appointed; we made breakfast there most mornings and snacks in the afternoon. The Mega grocery store is a $4.00 taxi ride away in town; the security guard calls taxis for wherever you'd like to go. It would be easy to make dinner in the condo but we preferred to walk up the beach five minutes to La Perla most evenings to watch the sunset over the beach activity and a margarita. It's a two minute walk thru the lovely resort grounds to put your toes in the sand and you're right in the middle of the arc of mile long Playa la Ropa beach with easily surf for swimming and all kinds of water sports. The bed was super comfortable, linens were lovely, shower water pressure was awesome with plenty of hot water. Miriam, the property manager was there to meet us with the keys, a full orientation, and had stocked the fridge with requested wine and treats for just the price of the groceries. Lupita the maid is darling and does a great job. Hope you have as great a vacation in this condo as we did!Recommended for: Adventure seekers, age 55+, tourists without a car, romantic getaway, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway, sightseeing.

This place is Amazing!!! We had a wonderful vacation - relaxing, swimming, reading and shopping in the town of Zihuatanejo. The units are spotless, well maintained and very comfortable. I brought my Ipod to hook up to the music system - great sitting on the patio overlooking the gardens with the private jacuzzi listening to music - This is the Life! The owners were very helpful with our needs and very knowledgeable about the area. Very safe and comfortable. We would highly recomment these units to our friends and family. Looking forward to returning soon!! Best vacation!!!

What a great vacation! The location is nothing short of perfection, being in the middle of the nicest resort on the finest beach in the best vacation spot in all of Mexico, and then... you've got the condo. It's nothing short of fabulous. Once you get there, you might not even want to leave. It's too tempting to just lounge around in the cool water in the little private pool and sip on a cold cervesa and read a good book, or sit in the living room and take in the view, or take a nap on the patio. I have to confess, we spent a lot of time doing just that. But once you're able to rouse yourself and venture forth, there's just no place like Zihua, and in Zihua, no place like la Ropa, and in la Ropa, no place like Villa del Sol! It's just gorgeous. One of our favorite things was breakfast (or brunch) right down on the beach. The food is delicious. There's a nice breakfast buffet, but my favorite was the stuffed poblano chile. They even have good coffee, and if you've been to Mexico, you know how great that is! And then go for a walk down the beach. There are tons of other good restaurants in walking distance, kayaking, sailing, swimming, snorkeling, shopping, just about anything you might want to do. We had such a great time, we almost cried when it came time to leave. The owners Katy and Rich left no stone unturned in seeing to our comfort, and I have to say, it was one of the best vacations we've ever had. We will be back!Recommended for: Adventure seekers, age 55+, tourists without a car, romantic getaway, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway, sightseeing.

Owner info
Year Purchased: 2009
About the owner: My Husband and I met at a local parade. I am lucky enough to have lived abroad and my Husband studied in Mexico City as a young man. We both love to travel but also love the Town of Zihuatanejo. I have been visiting Zihuatanejo since 1984, My husband and I were married in Zihuatanejo at the church in town in 2002. When we got married we decided that rather than buy a large home we would get a place in Zihuatanejo so we can always come down when we want and hope to retire here one day..I have been a Realtor for 23 years and my husband is a flooring contractor. We have one black Lab. We love coming here with our friends and spending a fun filled week or two. My husband loves to sport fish and recently won a small car in the local annual fishing tournament for the biggest Marlin caught. We both graduated from UCSC after attending different Universites. I went to Colorado College, and my husband was at UCBerkley after returning home from Viet Nam. We are lucky to find a spot that is so soothing for both our busy lives.
Why the Owner Chose Zihuatanejo:
It is only a 4 hour flight and then you are on the beautiful beaches. It has warm weather, amazing food and drinks. Zihuatanejo has great restaurants and lots of fun shopping and galleries but maintains the Mexican Culture and is a small fishing village. It offers some of the best sport fishing in Mexico and the warm water is wonderful for swimming and snorkeling. My husband and I were married in the small church in town. We have been coming here for 12 years and we love it.
The Unique Benefits at this Condo:
Great outdoor activity, excellent sport fishing, beautiful beaches and warm water. The walk through the tropical gardens to the beach is so lovely. The resort is completely secure and worry free. Which makes it Relaxing and fun. It provides amenities for every age and every desire, from being fully pampered to being left alone completely to read a book. Every need is met yet there is more privacy than staying in a hotel. We love getting up in the morning to take a long walk along the beach, swim and then have a breakfast of fresh papaya, mango and melons.
