ZiWOWtanejo Signature Style Casa 1

My husband and I absolutely loved this place and would return. The porch is fantastic and very private. The view is incredible. So many areas to sit/read while listening to the waves and sounds from the beach. The lounging bed under the star lights is magical at night. The interior beds were comfortable. We rarely heard other people and often felt like we had the place to ourselves. The kitchen has everything you need to prepare a meal. There is A/C in each bedroom but we never needed to use it during the day, only sometimes at night. We felt completely safe at all times. Lynda was wonderful and helpful and easy to reach. The walk down the very steep hill to the beach is easy (five minutes). We mostly took a cheap cab back up since we were carrying things. There is a small store on the way back up from the beach that has decent wine, fyi. We walked back up twice and it's doable and gives you a perfect reason to use the non-heated jetted outdoor tub! If you are cat people like we are, bring or buy treats for the resident cat! The owner has put together a great manual of restaurant recommendations. Loot, down the hill, was a real highlight. Paty's on the beach has an amazing whole red snapper dish and 2 for 1 drinks from 5-7. Toes in the sand dining. I recommend Espuma, Amuletto and Tentaciones if you want a fine dining experience. Go to Carmelitas for a great breakfast or lunch! This was our 4th time to Zihuatanejo and hopefully not our last!

We loved our stay in this charming and well appointed condo. This is a very well thought out living space with lovely interior design that is comfortable and chic. It is quite close to La Ropa beach if you can tear yourself away from the spectacular views of the bay. We also liked and utilized the air conditioned gym in the building as well as the large pool and palapa area. Also noteworthy are the kind and helpful staff that are always around if you should need any help.

Perfect place ! The terrace was amazing and we spent most of our time in the jacuzzi and tanning on the comfortable lounge deck and bali beds. The kitchen was enjoyable and had all the utilities and nice dishware, glasses, fancy cultery etc. We had a great time !

We recently spent a memorable vacation in Zihuatanejo, Mexico. Perched on a lush hillside above La Ropa Beach, Ensueño 10, the six-unit condo where we stayed, is beautifully furnished with a great view of the bay. Playa la Ropa (“clothes beach”) was named for a Spanish galleon’s cargo of silks and fabrics brought from the Orient and scattered here from a shipwreck. The condo’s private deck, with an assortment of comfortable outdoor furniture and loungers, served as our headquarters as we planned our activities, read, and ate meals we prepared for ourselves. From our condo we relished in magnificent views of surrounding green hills, and watched the many water sports on the bay: skiing, parachute gliding, boogie boards, and jet skiing. Water taxis sailed between the town pier and idyllic Playa las Gatas.

Although the hills are steep, from our condo we could walk to the beach and stroll along sparkling white sand, passing luxurious hotels, restaurants, and gift shops. Sometimes we choose to hike back up the hill to our condo; sometimes we took a taxi, which proved to be an inexpensive mode of transportation.

On such a vacation, we usually prefer to have some of our meals “in” and we found groceries in Zihautanejo readily available and inexpensive. The kitchen in our condo had all the necessary equipment needed to manage meals with a minimum of hassle.

Taking a taxi, we rode into town to check out the fishing village. We watched as fishermen brought in and displayed their day’s catch. From there we strolled along a walkway with condos and hotels on one side and the sea on the other.

Another day we strolled among Zihautanejo’s cobblestone streets and visited shops nestled in nooks and crannies. We admired the vibrant colors of Mexican art, and enjoyed observing the culture, listening to conversations in rapid Spanish with traditional Mexican music in the background. Another day we took a water taxi from the town pier and sailed to Playa las Gatas beach. On the small strip of land between the densely forested hill and white-sand beach, restaurants and bars serve meals and drinks; little gift stands feature swimwear and water toys.

Our time in Zihautanejo was a memorable vacation. We found plenty to do at the pace we wanted to do it. But there’s plenty of other activities, too, whether you have “champagne taste and a beer budget” or seek luxury, glamour and pampering. Your stay can be a tranquil rustic retreat, or more lively. It's up to you.

If you are looking for a place that is Chic, yet not stuffy, for 1 couple or 2, a small family or a place for friends just to unwind….LOOK NO FURTHER!! Casa 1 has lovely amenities, interior design, functionality, and breathtaking views that will make you want to pinch yourself to see if they are real! A quick walk to the beach and restaurants by day, and the tranquility of the sound of waves by night. Evelyn the Property Manager was absolutely terrific and delivered on everything that was discussed!! The entire staff at Ensueno 10 went out of their way to make sure our stay was the absolute best it could be. It is definitely a very rewarding experience and we can PROMISE you will not be disappointed!!
