“So Good It's Hard to Explain!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 February 2012
3
people found this review helpful

We knew it was going to be special just from looking at the sign next to the entrance. Cinco Sentidos sits on a hill overlooking the ocean and Playa La Ropa five minutes from downtown Zihautenejo. This is where you want to be. There are five suites, each looking out at the bay, ours was the Grand Suite, the top floor. When the door was opened to our suite it took our breath away. An open floor plan, infinity pool with a magnificent view, exquisitely decorated, comfortable, a place you don't want to leave. The bathroom - big with a huge shower and lots of hot water. A terrace off the bedroom, a hammock next to the infinity pool. Need I say more?
Cinco Sentidos was designed as a labor of love by the innkeepers, Araceli and Heiko. Heiko, a chef, prepared an outstanding breakfast every morning. We couldn't wait to see what his next creation would be. Araceli, always there with a suggestion of what to do, a laugh and a smile and some great stories about Zihau. And the staff, Moses and Daniel, always smiling and so pleasant.
If you want a small luxury hotel experience Cinco Sentidos is where you want to be. Walk to the beach, sit by the pool or stay in your room! You won't be disappointed - not even remotely!

Room Tip: Make reservations early!! There are only 5 suites and you'll lose out if you hesitate!

“2nd Visit Even Better!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 February 2012

Just returned from our second visit to Cinco Sentidos...I won't be able to add much to the many positive reviews because they are extremely accurate...come to Cinco Sentidos and enjoy one of the most relaxing and luxurious getaways possible. Araceli, Heiko, Moses and Danny are experts at making you feel at your home away from home...we can't wait to return!

Room Tip: All rooms are elegant and comfortable.

“We Love Cinco Sentidos!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 January 2012

person found this review helpful

Just returned from 7 nights at Cinco Sentidos. Already booked again for next year. We love Zihuatanejo and we're so glad to have found Cinco Sentidos from Trip Advisor. It is a beautiful, clean, 5 room, boutique hotel. The price includes the best breakfasts in Zihua. We never had to eat lunch because we were so content after the morning feast. We too felt as if it were our "own" resort as it is very quiet and private. We simply love the place and can't wait to go back. Thank you Heiko and Araceli, Moses and Danny!

Room Tip: All the suites are lovely but we splurge on the Grand Suite.

“Paradise in Zihuatanejo”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 January 2012

person found this review helpful

How lucky for us to find Hotel Cinco Sentidos! We have just returned from 7 nights and are already trying to figure out when we can return. Each one of the 5 suites has a magnificent view of the bay. They are completely private with a soaking infinity pool for each room. The owner, Heiko took care of our every need. His breakfasts were a work of art and delicious. Many times we felt as though we were the only ones there as we swam in the pool at sunset.
We both needed a retreat to rejuvinate and recharge. This was the perfect place. Walking distance from the hotel was a great yoga class on the beach, a magnificent beach for walking, world class restaurants and a non-tourist town which was fun to go to. We even enjoyed cooking classes. Just ask Heiko and he'll set you up. Muchas Gracias and Hasta Luego

Room Tip: If you can, the master suite is well worth it.

“Another great vacation”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 January 2012

person found this review helpful

This was our 2nd visit to Cinco Sentidos in as many years. We had such great time last year, that we booked another trip back this year, even added an extra day for a 10 day stay.

If you've read thru the reviews, you'll notice how many repeat visitors there are, and actually during our week stay, two other couples that stayed during our week last year were back again as well, it seemed like we never left.

With only 5 suites, every room is perfect with amazing views of the ocean and beautiful sunsets, and even with a full house, the rooms are so well built that it seems like you're the only people around.

And you can't say enough about the breakfast (included), every morning, breads, yogurt, granola, fruit and a different main dish each day. We always say one day we'll walk into town for breakfast, but we never do because we don't want to miss Heikos creation of the day.

Heiko, Araceli and their staff treat you like family, and it's always tough to leave. We're already planning our 3rd trip back next year!

Any questions, feel free to send me a message, either on the hotel, or surrounding area. The people of Zihua are as friendly as can be and we felt completely safe day and night.

Room Tip: No worries, with only 5 suites, each one is great with amazing ocean views
