I don't even know where to start! This place was just magnificent.
When we first arrived, Erika was there to meet us with margaritas on the bar! She gave us a tour of the house and showed us where to find things and how everything worked. She was just delightful and made us feel right at home-although it was hard to focus on the tour as we couldn't take our eyes off the view!
We started most days slowly, with coffee and a book on the big couch. Then we would head down to the beach on foot (usually took a cab back-it's so easy to get a cab everywhere here). We loved the beach and playing in the waves. Uncrowded and beautiful.
We took excursions to Las Gatas and Playa Ixtapa. Loved the snorkeling at Playa Ixtapa. The water isn't crystal clear but SO many fish. Would recommend both of those excursions.
Refer to Harriet's Guide (that she will send you when you book and there is a hard copy in the PH) for instructions how to get there-super easy and affordable and FUN!
We liked Arena, Paty's Mar y Mar and Dona Prudencia on La Ropa and Las Vieja's in Zihua. Our favorite was Las Adelitas, just off the beach, you can easily walk there. We went there three times in one week!
For our airport shuttle, we couldn't more highly recommend Zihua Ixtapa Transportation. Excellent communication, they were right on time, friendly and the van was very comfortable.
A beautiful condo with an incredible view was made even more special by the fantastic communication and service from the Property Manager, Harriet, the Concierge, Erika and the housekeeper, Sonia. They put the week over the top! They are so accommodation and thoughtful. We had a little fluke issue with some electrical problem and they had 3 electricians there the next day, which was a holiday! Amazing! We were very impressed with the service we received from start to finish.
Thank you so much for one of the best vacations ever!
