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!
