Why the Owner Chose Zihuatanejo
After having searched the west coast of Mexico from Puerto Escondido all the way up to Cabo San Lucas, Zihuatanejo just stood out as the place to call home. There is just this wonderful small community there with a very laid back atmosphere but anything you really need or forgot to bring can be found in any one of the many stores which seem to never close. Shop keepers to taxi drivers seem only to want to bs sure you are having a great experince in their home town.
The Unique Benefits at this Condo
We have the best of all worlds. No elevators, no stairs - yes, level in which is such a treat in this hillside community. And space to spare in a environment cooled with the natural sea breezes from the ocean, or turn on any one of six ceiling fans, or close yourselves in and click on the air conditioning.
Our 600 square foot terrace, the epitomy of outdoor living, features a 270 degree view and is equipped with custom made rattan furniture, a rope hammock, a gas fired grill, and even an out door shower so you can cool off without going down to one of the two infinity pools one flight below.
Life at the pools or on the beach is one of the best examples of the sense of "community" you will ever experience. New friendships and friend of friend hookups are common place. You will never stay in a more friendly environment.
Every guest receives a complete "get acquainted" book well before scheduled arrival which enables them to hit the ground running. No false steps - no blind allys. Where to shop, where to eat out, getting around in "centro" is child's play with our directions and colorful maps.
Owner's Map of Zihuatanejo
Our condominium is absolutely the most enjoyable piece of rental property we have ever owned and operated and there have been many. We live in California so getting to Zihua is a snap. Our two grown children and their kids really love the two pools, the beach, swimming in salt water, and going home with a great tan. And here is picture of me (Susan) headed to the beach on my 250cc scooter.
Yep! This old retired school teacher can still play like a kid here in Zihua!

Our stay at La Casa Que Ve al Mar more than met all of our expectations. The roomy bed rooms, the well stocked kitchen, the wonderful views from the balcony, as well as the professional and courteous staff made the stay one of the best we have had on our Mexican holidays. The local market, the wonderful shops, and the fresh fish make cooking a delight. Zihuatanejo is a wonderful place to shop. Since La Casa Que Ve al Mar is close enough that you can walk or if you wish take a taxi, the days are filled with whatever adventures you would like to experience. I would recommend a stay here as one of the best places to stay in Zihuatenajo.
Owner response:It's always a thrill to know one of our guests has had such a positive experience as we do all in our power to try to make that happen. Zihua is indeed magical!
Recommended for:Romantic getaway, tourists without a car, sightseeing, adventure seekers, age 55+.

We had an amazing vacation in Zihua. The condo was beautiful and even better than the pictures. I miss the beautiful ocean view. More helpful than anything was the "bible"; what we called the informational booklet the hosts provided us with. We would gladly stay at Alanamar again!

We have been coming to Zihuatanejo for fourteen years and have stayed at Alanamar for the past six years for two weeks in February. We have stayed at other locations prior to Alanamar and looked at other condos, but always came back to Alanamar because of the views, the large spaces and the ease of working with the owner Alan. Our older children have joined us on several occasions for a week and have absolutely loved the condo and the access to the pools, beach (a 10 minute walk) and restaurants. If you were to think of the word “paradise” you would think of Alanamar. Each morning we would sit on the very large veranda and enjoy the views with a cup of coffee. The evening sunsets were spectacular. The condo has wonderful artwork and is fully furnished so that you can enjoy cooking or just relaxing while you enjoy the beautiful view. We just loved it here. Barbara and Ed
Owner response:Thanks Ed & Barbara. It is always a thrill to have such appreciative guests who return year after year and who so obviously enjoy our little piece of paradise.

this was by far the nicest place in zihuatanejo for the money. perfect views from a great covered porch. everything from the check in to check out was first class. we had friends staying at the tides for triple the cost and they wanted to visit with us rather than stay at their place. the owners were helpful and the staff they have are priceless
Owner response:Thanks for your kind words.We bust our collective butts to be sure all of our guests have the most positive experience possible. So many of our visitors have never been to Mexico before and may never return. Most of our guests only have time to get away for a week so we need to be sure there is no lost time. Our FAM package allows all of our guests to hit the ground running = no lost time; no false starts. Just get out there and enjoy life. We want to be sure that when our guests walk through that front door and walk out toward the huge landscaped terrace they will just have their socks just blown off.

Fabulous Stay at Alanamar- Even better than the photos!

My husband and I spent 10 glorious days at Alanamar in mid-October.The accomodations and view are even nicer than they appear in the photos. Alan's extremely helpful book of tips, restaurant reviews, etc. was a great resource, even though we've been visiting Zihuatanejo for over 30 years (our favorite beach destination in Mexico). I highly recommend Alanamar for a truly restful vacation in a beautiful place. One note: the walk to the beach while not far is a little steep- we are walkers and even we puffed a little while walking back to the condo! However, the 2 infinity pools awaiting us at the top made all our exertion worthwhile - and instantly forgotten. Every day we debated whether or not to rent a car and venture forth...go play golf in Ixtapa...visit a different beach. Every day we ended up deciding, nah...it's so great right here! Over the years we've visited most of the local spots, & always return to La Ropa. We spent every day from about 10:30 am to 4 pm recumbent on loungers at the Restaurant La Perla on Playa La Ropa- for 50 pesos we enjoyed our chaises, umbrella and the services of the waiters dressed in crisp whites who brought us drinks and the best guacamole and chips ever (our favorite was Miguel). Well worth every peso (although we do remember the days when the loungers were free for the price of a Coke...) One great benefit to Alanamar is the internet access, as my husband and I travel with our laptops, and he actually had a few conference calls to do while there (thankfully the video cam wasn't on to reveal his swim trunk attire!) Another plus is the phone available in the unit for local calls (to check on restaurant availability, etc. )It was also very nice to have a local contact available in case of need, although we didn't end up needing her services. In addition, we were impressed when the owner, Alan, called us upon our arrival to make sure everything was in order. Which it was! We fixed breakfast every day (appreciated the shopping service offered by the owner which allowed us to arrive to a fully stocked fridge and larder), ate lunch at the beach and went out for dinner almost every night (among our favorites: Il Mare, La Sirena Gorda, Amuleto...Coconuts, alas, was closed during our stay- offseason). In sum- a beautiful condo in a beautiful place, clean, well-maintained, nicely decorated and fully equipped. We will return! We don't visit annually, but every few years- and Alanamar will be our first choice. Hope it's available!
Owner response:Sounds like we have hit another home run. That's always a thrill for us as it tells us all of our efforts to assure our guests have a great experience have paid off. Thanks for staying with us and we look forward to your return. And thanks for letting us know our prep knife inventory was a little low; we really appreciate that. Getting that message before we discovered it on our own enabled us to bring a new supply within weeks. ¡Saludos! Alan & Susan

The condo was perfect for us. I have nothing negative to say about our stay. Our vacation was in September so we practically had the pools to ourselves. The other people staying in the complex were so pleasant and added to the enjoyment of our trip. I'd recommend this place to anyone.

We stayed at unit that overlooked the pool and beach, it was fantastic. Excellent sized living space, a working grill on the patio, a hammock, and comfortable beds. The staff were always friendly and the local taxi drivers knew the address so it was always easy to get in and out of town.
Owner response:Thanks for staying with us and we are overjoyed to hear you had such a good time. Alan & Susan

My family spent a week in the condo. The condo looks even better in person. It is conveniently located and is a short ride to the market, restaurants, shopping. We went in low season and enjoyed the lull. The condo's pools were empty, restaurants had no line etc. It was a nice, sleepy relaxing holiday. The owner, as well, provides you with a very comprehensive "manual" before you come that answers any and all questions you could possibly have. And he was always extremely responsive before and during the trip, going out of his way to answer questions and provide help. His onsite manager is also quite lovely and very helpful if you have an immediate need and require someone local.
Owner response:It is always a pleasure to have one of our guests enjoy our little place in paradise as much as we do. Thanks for staying with us, glad you found our "FAM" package as informative as you did, and we wish you a speedy return.
