Zacualpan vacation rentals

This is one of those times when I don’t know if I want tell everyone how wonderful this place is or keep it a secret. The photos don’t do justice to how wonderful it is - the views, the grounds, the pool, the owner and manager - looking forward to a return trip.

Casa Alemendra is

We spent an amazing week celebrating my mom’s 85th birthday. 17 people in our group from age 1 to age 85. This is a beautiful, private location in a gated community. The ocean access allows for exploring tide pools, boogie boards, stand up boards, swimming and kayaking. The pool and hot tub were great, too. Staff was very attentive, friendly and made delicious meals. Our group had a wide variety of food requests and they worked with us through all the allergies and preferences. The house was clean and provided us everything we needed. We would love to come back in the years to come.

We enjoyed everything Playa las Tortugas had to offer from the ocean to the estuary to the pools to the sunrises/sunset. What made everything so easy and special was having Maria and Mario there -- they were both so great! They attended to anything we needed in terms of transportation, planning excursions, getting snacks/groceries, getting across the estuary, and even gave us ideas of things to do with the kids we hadn't thought of ourselves. We really appreciated being able to communicated easily with John before we left. He really took the time to answer all of our questions. Everything was wonderful and relaxing.

Great vacation! The staff were very helpful and everything was clean and well maintained. Our kids had a great time playing in the sand and waves. It’s a great location for families. The restaurant next door serves delicious breakfasts. We already miss Chacala and hope to return!

A fabulous property with the choice of a fantastic deserted beach. We had our family of 5 along with one other 2other families staying in the other houses and 5 miles of fantastic beach to ourselves for a week. Participating in the release of baby sea turtles into the wild on multiple nights around sunset was the highlight of the trip. Thank you Molly and Jose!

We spent the month of February at Vista Encantada in units 407 and 507 and witnessed the most beautiful sunsets we have ever seen. We had friends join us for a week and so we got both units for the month. Unit 407 is all on one floor and it was comprised of 1 1/2 bathrooms, a small kitchen with full sized fridge, gas stove and oven and microwave, a living room and king-size bedroom. At the entrance to 407 there were stairs that went upstairs to 507 which has another king-sized bedroom, full bathroom and a large deck with outside kitchen comprised of a small bar fridge, hot plate and microwave and lovely patio furniture. From this deck there is another set of stairs that takes you up to a rooftop lounge with 2 reclining beds and a cool water jacuzzi. Lovely for star-gazing as there are millions of stars at night. The road to Vista Encantada is very rough and goes through the small town of El Divisidero but worth the drive. The complex has a beautiful pool and fitness room. Sandra and Carlos and their staff were very accommodating and helpful. There is no cable TV but they do have Netflix which we used. The wifi is hit and miss so sometimes you couldn’t connect to the outside world but heck we were on vacation in Mexico! There is a quiet and beautiful beach about a 25 minute walk down a path or Pedro can give you a ride. There is also a beautiful beach at the little town of Chacala about 20 minutes drive away with great restaurants. Try Chicos and La Breza for great fish and shrimp and pico de Gallo! Also about 20 minutes away is La Penita Ja Latempa which has many restaurants and a fabulous Thursday market. We would suggest renting a car in Puerto Vallarta but if not there is a car available to rent on-site. All in all we had a great vacation, met fabulous people and enjoyed fabulous weather and sunsets.
