We had a fabulous 4 week stay at Casa d’Arte - in the beautiful Casa Que Ve Al Mar condo complex. CQVM has one of the best locations in Zihua - on the hillside above La Ropa beach, with amazing views of the whole bay. We had stayed before, and we love the location, the pools, and the views. The staff are amazing - Dulce, all the security staff and groundskeepers do a great job, and are all extremely friendly and helpful. Check in was easy.
Unit manager Harriet provides a condo unit guide and a Zihuatanejo guide so everything is very clear - there is a lot of useful information in both guides. The unit itself is located in the front building (building A) and has one of the best views in the complex from its very large terrace/balcony with comfy furniture. One of our favourite things to do was to have morning coffee there while listening to the chachalaca birds.
The condo’s decor is very artistic and whimsical. The unit was very well stocked - with tissue, toilet paper, laundry soap, dish soap, napkins, baggies and Mycrodyn for washing fruits and vegetables. There is a stove top and microwave, toaster and blender, but no oven or dishwasher - which didn’t bother us at all. The coffeemaker has a permanent filter; the washer and dryer worked well. There are lots of towels and we found the beds very comfortable. Bacilia came twice a week to clean and was a sweetheart.
There are A/C units in each bedroom as well as one on the wall in the dining area (we mainly used the bedroom units at night - they worked great.) There are so many great and inexpensive restaurants in Zihua that we ate out every night. There was a small BBQ on the deck with a full propane tank but we never used it - too many delicious dinner options nearby!
There are two pools and though not huge, neither were ever crowded. Most guests stay for a minimum of a week - sometimes 3 or 4 and some having been coming for years and stay for 6-8 weeks. We’ve only been twice, but still saw some of our “pool friends” from previous visits!
Checking out was easy and Dulce kept our luggage safe for us in the storage area until it was time to cab to the airport. Zihua is truly beautiful and Casa que ve is amazing - we highly recommend it!
