Our group of 4 adults and 5 teens loved our stay in Ixtapa at Amara and in this beautiful condo over Christmas. The photos do not do it justice - from the quality furnishings, super comfortable beds, en-suite bathrooms, updated well stocked kitchen to the views, grounds and swimming pool - it exceeded all our expectations. The staff at Amara are professional, helpful and make the best and reasonably priced guacamole and margaritas around. My niece and her family stayed at another unit in Amara and had "condo envy" with our unit and chose to spend most of their time in our unit. With the help of the property manager, we hired a cook and assistant to shop and prepare dinner 2x during our visit and also received great assistance from a local cab driver (as referred by the owners) for arranging cabs for our large group, making reservations for us to horseback ride on the beach, taking us back and forth to Zih for shopping and site seeing and becoming our unofficial host.
The owners of this unit, Bryan and Rhonda are wonderful to work with and provided pages of information prior to check in on restaurants, things to do and answered all my questions promptly and even had a meal delivered to us on check in after our long travel day. The wifi connection was strong and appreciated - especially by the teens! It was a wonderful and memorable family holiday.
