Beautiful family vacation spot

Review Submitted: April 18, 2009 Date of Stay: April 2009
Our stay at Playa Blanca exceeded our expectations by leaps and bounds. I was initially worried that it would be too secluded for our 3 teenage sons but it turned out to be an asset. Only 25-20 minutes drive away from the touristy hustle and bustle of Zihua, it was a relief to return to our villa. To have miles of pristine beach to yourself (we had to share it with a school of dolphins on our last night- what a way to end the trip!), was wonderful. The surf was up while we were there which was perfect for my kids- lots of boogie boarding and bodysurfing. The infinity pool was picturesque and the temperature was just right. Brisamar next door was great for meals, the newly opened Chula Vida a bit further down the beach was delicious- highly recommend the tuna appetizer and the shrimp tacos. Order guacamole anywhere and you will not be disappointed. We did several excursions in the area- fishing, surfing at Playa Saladita, kayaking in the lagoons at Barra de Potosi........ Can you tell we loved it? Will definitely return and bring our oldest son with us next time.

Thank you so much for what we all have agreed was one of our very best vacations ever!! This beautiful Villa and property exceeded our expectations. We did a lot of sightseeing but always looked forward to getting back to relax at the pool or reading in the hammock on the terrace. EVERYTHING was PERFECT! We look forward to another visit.

We just wanted to drop you a quick note and tell you how very much we enjoyed our two week holiday. The condos are just fantastic! The way in which the units are sited allows for so much privacy and the cleanliness was very much appreciated. There is not a single thing that would have made our vacation better. We hope to see you again next year - maybe for longer than two weeks. Thank you.

This is very, very late in coming but, our 2 families wanted to say how amazing our stay was in March, 2008. We stayed in Zihua for 2 weeks then to Playa Blanca for one week. Next time we'll go straight to Playa Blanca and Kirk's townhouse. It was great meeting you and our accomodations and the grounds surpassed our expectations. Thanks again!

Kirk-
We just wanted to thank you again for all your help with the Condo and info you provided for the area. We had a fabulous time!! Phillip and Carol were very nice and gracious. The maid and garden staff were awesome and so nice! We enjoyed all the wildlife we saw. Several we have never seen before or had not seen close up so it was a lot of fun for us all. The beach was beautiful. We bought a flash light just to go look at crabs on the beach at night! Sunsets and sunrises you will never forget. The condos are very well maintained and spacious. The nearby town has a lot to do and the locals were all very nice. It was a great, fun relaxing family vacation for all!

We just returned from our week stay at Villas Playa Blanca and we couldn't have asked for a better vacation! It was truly a tropical oasis! We have two small children (10 months and 2 years old) and it was perfect for a family getaway. There are actually three parts to the pool (one area for the little ones to just sit and splash around in, a wading pool for toddlers and then a normal pool for adults and older children). The beach was absolutely pristine and we loved our sunrise and sunset walks on such a clean and beautiful beach. The location was far enough away from the hustle and bustle yet only a 20 minute drive into town for necessities. There are only good comments to say about this wonderful place and I would highly recommend it to others! Thanks so much!

We apologize for being so tawdry at getting this comment on the comment sheet, but better late than never. We had the best time, the very best holiday ever at Condo Bobby,Playa Blanca,Zihuatanejo.Wonderful accomodation, people,food & fun. If you like to do your own thing at your own pace, this is for you.Horse back riding, fishing (dirrado & sail fish) not to mention great food close by and all the amenities. We are going again this and next and so on & so on. The staff are supberb, and the sheer beauty is breathtaking. All you can ask for and more.We cannot express our feelings enough, and will continue to go back.

Exceptional

Review Submitted: April 2, 2008 Date of Stay: March 2008
I have traveled and worked in Mexico for more than 10 years, and have stayed in hotel s and properties all over the country. This property was exceptional. The home is modern comfortable, and has a beautiful view. The grounds are immaculate. The location is very private and away from the crowds. If you are looking to get away from the large hotel scene and noisy nights, this is the place.

We rented a car for convenience, and driving to town is simple and not more than about 20 minutes. Since the property is not near any supermarkets or commercial centers, you need to be a little self sufficient. We purchased groceries to stock the refrigerator and combined snacking along with taking a few nights ou to go to restaurants.

The owners were excellent and helpfull, there was plenty of local information listed in a booklet telling us what restaurants and activities could be accessed easily. At the end of our trip our deposit was quickly refunded, and we´ll plan to go back again.

This property would be great for a family or freinds wanting share a place, it´s very roomy. Just a warning for the kids, there is no cable or satilite for the T.V. Bring books for reading. If you are into having a room in a hotel with breakfast buffets, drinks at the pool swim up bar, and the band playing music until 2 in the morning ... this is not the place.

Viewing the Villa on VRBO was very intriguing, but when we actually arrived, it took our breath away, it was so beautiful. My daughter, her friend, grandson & I just spent 10 days in Paradise! Kudos to everyone from Phil & Carol, the groundskeeper & crew & the maids for the beautiful grounds & villa. The infinity pool is fantastic & the walk on the beach watching the ocean swollow the sun is an experience to remember. Loved every minute of our ten days & looking forward to next year. Already missing listening to the sounds of the waves as I fall asleep. Carol
