If you already reading reviews you probably already know the Amara generally is a great place to stay. Great location on the main beach, beautiful grounds and pool, peaceful and well appointed condos. I've stayed in a few different condos there depending on what was available for my dates of travel. So why should you stay in this one? Jason is a great owner to work with--everything is simple and easy to book and he has a great packet of info if you've never been to Ixtapa. The condo itself is nicely furnished and has lots of extras over other condos at the Amara. Keyless entry--which may not seem like a big deal but if you are traveling with kids (who are old enough to up to go to the condo themselves) or other couples its nice to not have to deal with keys, separate wifi for the condo, fully stocked kitchen (not only pots and pans but spices, condiments etc.) and access to the owners closet with pool toys, beach toys (noodles, floats, sand toys, boogie boards, snorkel gear, cushions) so you can pack light. He's also got lots of electronics (ipod docking station/speaker in the main room, tvs in the main room and main bedrooms--and lots of cords--if you happen to forget one he's probably got one). If you really want a condo that has everything you can think of (and probably things you haven't), this is the one!
