Rooms - spacious, clean, tidied daily
Grounds - incredible, unique, 3 cool dogs, fruit trees, ocean views, hammocks, multiple palappas for gathering together or for seclusion, Wi-Fi under main palapa, beautiful pool maintained meticulously, beach towels and lounge chairs, beach access right out of the gate
Staff- our favorite part! They became family and the kind of family you want to claim! The highlight was the meals. Mid-week,We stopped requesting food and just let the experts do what they do best. we gladly anticipated whatever amazing platters came to our table.
Weather was incredible.
We requested taxis into zijuatenejo and ixtapa proper and enjoyed exploring a bit, but soon found ourselves craving our “home” for the week.
Highlights included every meal together (19 of us!), simple card games, hammock naps, and memorable tortilla lessons with Jasmine.
Highlights for our teenagers included daily walks to the market for Mexican “junk food”, renting surfboards, and hours in the waves
Regrets:
Did not rent surfboards earlier in the week.
Bringing beach towels from home (no need!)
Disregarding post-dinner evenings as prime ocean time. Sunsets and swimming were ideal, without need for fastidious sunscreen application.
No bug spray on morning beach jaunts.
Chocolate snacks that melted
Don’t forget: aloe Vera, lots of sunscreen, Sun hats, swim shirts/rash guards, beach games, beach speaker, bug spray, google translate app if your Spanish is anything like ours, clothespins for bags of chips if you want to eat them after day one, ziploc bags for wet swimsuits on last day
