The Tim Robbins character in the Shawshank Redemption dreams of "...warm place with no memory" and escapes to a beach in Mexico called Zihuatanejo. I have been to Zihuatanejo several times and it represents for me, like the character in the film, a place for escape from all of the distractions of our everyday life. An opportunity to encounter beauty and wonder again. I found an excellent bunglaow with Casa Loma, where I could relax, enjoy the beautiful playa la ropa beach and escape. It is true that the rooms are located next to each other and other's voices can be heard. Also, it is true that these are not luxury bungalows, but this did not affect the peace I found at this place. The rooms possess a wonderful simplicity. They are adjoined by a lounging area that includes a kitchen and eating area. There is amply space to relax in a hammock or in the lounging area and escape with a book. The bungalow is serviced by a kind staff that is extremely helpful (thank you Alfredo). I highly recommend these bungalows if you want to escape, would like place where you experience simplicy, cook some mexican dishes, and be embedded with other locals who also enjoy the area's beauty.
