“FANTASTIQUE!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 January 2011
1
person found this review helpful

This was our 6th time in Zihua. Each time we rented a different condo but I got to say that Sueno Del Mar was the best. It is well located, has superb a view of the Bay and is amazingly furnished. It instantly felt like home. Nothing was missing. Since my husband and I love cooking we were glad to see that the kitchen was so well equipped. So we enjoyed going to the market buying fresh fish and seafood, cook them for a candlelit dinner watching the lights of the boats in the Bay. It was magical and peaceful. The nights we didn't feel like cooking, we went out. There are many great restaurants walking distance from the condo. Harriet was more than helpful. Not an email or a question went unanswered (and I ask a lot!). She made sure our stay would be unforgettable... and she succeeded!

“An Amazing Experience!!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 January 2011

First and foremost, Ms Harriet was super helpful from the very first time we asked about Sueno del mar until the time we returned home. When traveling to another country, we usually feel uneasy and clueless, but Ms Harriet has provided us with step by step directions - she even has a guide in the unit to help you in and around Zihuatanejo.

We were there to relax and did just that. We lounged under the palapas with our margaritas, had beach side massages, and just enjoyed the local cuisine.

Sueno del Mar is gorgeous! The decorations and theme make you really feel immersed in the local culture. The infinity pools serve as an adjunct to the beach experience - we made sure we were able to enjoy both. The staff is very helpful and people around the city are very friendly.

We will be back :) Thank you for providing us with a home away from home.

Tony

“Paradise with a Gorgeous View!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 October 2010

We had the unmitigated pleasure of spending a week in Harriet's lovely condo. The views are magnificent, the Mexican art work fills every room and beds were luxurious. The kitchen has everything one needs and more. The layout with the open to the sea living room, a spacious master bedroom, two person roomy master bath and private balcony with tropical plants made for a very relaxing week. The entire unit is spotless and obviously maintained with loving care. It's easily one of the nicest places we've stayed in and I've traveled all over Mexico and most of Latin America in the past couple decades. This is a very special place.

It was the green season. I've never been on the Mexican shore this time of year, but all the plants were vibrant green, many flowers and butterflies. It was beautiful! Most places were open for business and while we met many other travelers it was certainly not crowded.

We ate at Tencionnes, Kau Kan, the mercado (delicious mole de pollo!) Los Braceros and various beach restaurants. We never had a poor meal, in fact we had many memorable meals regardless of price or setting. I suggest eating from the whole range of options and there are way too many to describe.

Most days consisted of walking to the town center exploring the market places, streets and sights. After returning to the condo we headed to the beach (twice to Las Gatas, but mainly La Ropa), found our palapa for the day, swimming in the salt water, reading, napping and strolling. Harriet provides four great boogie boards and we used them most days playing in surf and occasionally being tumbled in the waves. We went fishing with Julio and caught seven bonitas. As suggested, we went to the Sunday night fiesta at the plaza/basketball court for people watching, chatting and vendor delicacies. It was a very relaxing week.

While some of you have concerns for safety I can only relate that during our week we only encountered smiles, very friendly locals and fellow travelers. I did not hear a single cross word nor did I see spot anything or anyone that gave me pause for concern. Zihau is a very sweet village. We look forward to returning next year.

This is an absolutely gorgeous condo that is carefully maintained, with beautiful art, all the conveniences, and an owner that provides everything needed for a really great stay. I couldn't imagine finding a better place than this one!

“Great Place and Fantastic View”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 January 2010

The place is all we expected and much more, what a view. Your attention to
detail was very evident and we felt very comfortable staying there. The master
bedroom and balcony view is very romantic. Your guide
was very helpful and we referred to it often. I am sure we
will return to Zihuatanejo sometime as it's our favorite place in Mexico and I
hope your place is still available.
Again the condo was wonderful and we hated to leave.
Thanks, Joe
