Casa Contenta offers the old charm styling of Zihautenejo in an immaculate setting. The unit is spacious, and offers a view that could be a mural. The kitchen is well equipped and supplies extras (like a blender) that inspire. The pool area makes it hard to leave the facility, yet the short walk to the beach reminds one of the magic of Mexico and its cultural uniqueness. We would definitely like to return.

My best friend and I stayed at Casa Contenta from 1/7 - 1/10, 2009. I can't begin to describe how fantastic the experience was. Susan and Memmon were incredibly helpful, emailing us tips and advice in advance, helping with restaurant selection and places to see. The condo is very private, quiet and comfortable. The kitchen is fully stocked if you like to eat in. The view is stunning and the pools are breathtaking. The town of Zihauantejo is beautiful, colorful, charming, and tropical. We ate dinner at Il Mare, Elvira's on La Ropa, and El Meditereaneo in downtown Zihau. Service was fantastic, food was great and reasonably priced. We spent a week in paradise and can't wait to return. Amy & Brandon Tucson, AZ

My family stayed at Memmon's and Susan's condo from December 20-27, 2008. We had a great time enjoying the amazing view from the condo, the great beach at walking distance and the relaxed life style and kind people this City offers. The complex is in immaculate shape and the workers there are very friendly. We celebrated my son’s 23rd birthday on Christmas day by having dinner at Villa de la Selva in Ixtapa, which has a great view, delicious food and very good wine. We had dinner at the fat mermaid, Mariner’s (main square) and we highly recommend them. We tried La Gula on Christmas Eve and although the food was Ok we thought that it was too pricey. In summary, our experience was unforgettable. Also, Memmon’s advice and tips were very helpful. We will definitely be back.

We just got back from a week's trip to Zihua and this condo is fantastic. It has everything that you could possibly need and the view's are unbelievable! A must is to take the water taxi to Las Gatas for the day (or two!). We ate at different restaurants each day/night and always had an excellent meal. I would advise taking a taxi back to the condo each time as the stair's/road is very steep. It is only $3 from anywhere in the area. We plan to use this condo many times in the near future.

We had a wonderful stay at Casa Contenta. Memmon was wonderful to work with! Casa Contenta was more beautiful than we
expected. We stayed there with my sister and her husband. It was clean and well maintained. The infinity pools were
gorgeous. The security staff were very helpful. Even the year round residents were a good resource. We went to Playa los
Gatos via water taxi. Had full body massages at Isabel's on Playa la Ropa. Ate wonderful food in La Madera. We suggest El
Manglar on Playa la Ropa. Tamales Any's, Los Braseros, and Garrabos in la Madera area. La Cala Restaurant is one of the more
pricier restaurants, but well worth it. If we ever go back to Zihua, we'll definitely stay at Casa Contenta again!

We stayed at this property Feb 2 to 16th, there were five in our party. The accommodations were clean, comfortable and provided us exactly what we were looking for. The owners of the property were very helpful and provided us all information we required. This was our first visit to Zihua, the people are friendly and the atmosphere is so relaxed, we will definitely return to this area again.
Fun in Ziwah

We rented this condo and it was exactly as pictured. The view from the room and pool was fantastic! The condo owners we met were very friendly and we got a couple of rides to town and many recommendations for where to dine. La Ropa Beach was a 5-minute walk and there were plenty of palapa huts and lounge chairs for rent.
Ziwah town was very fun at night with lots of good (not prententious) restaurants and bars with music.
We went fishing one day (half the price of fishing in Cabo) and caught two sailfish.
This is a great condo with a great location for a "Mexican" experience. Much better location and value than any huge resort on the Ixtapa side.

We are two couples who stayed at Casa Contenta from Jan. 17th until Feb. 2nd, 2008. It was perfect for us. Two large bedrooms and two tiled baths, fully stocked kitchen, beautiful decor, and fantastic view.
We have been traveling Mexico for 20 years, mostly in the Yucatan. Zihua reminded us of what Cancun was like before it became a tourist trap. The people were great & the food superb.
Be sure to walk down to La Gula - gourmet food at very reasonable prices.
We walked to town every day, sometimes twice. The guys golfed 14 of the 16 days we were in Zihua - bought a month pass for $450. We received the condo deposit back within a week after our return. We will go back to Zihua.

We had a wonderful stay at Casa Contenta. The location was very convenient to town and a short walk to the beach...
The condo itself is beautiful, lots of tile - very nice beds and bathrooms/showers. The view is outstanding! The security folks are very accomodating and attentive.
The owners were very helpful too, they provided us with good tips about the area, etc. prior to our arrival. We would definitely stay here again!

Casa Contenta is a lovely, clean, spacious condo with a beautiful view and very helpful service. The pools are a perfect temperature, serene, relaxing. Great accessibility to Playa Ropa- only a 5 minute walk, nice sand and waves on the small side but decent for boogie boarding. Not a bad walk (20-30 min) to get into town if you're up for some exercise after a day of lounging and eating nachos and reading. We walked or taxi'ed in to town every day to shop or eat. We ate fresh, wonderful pastries every day at the pasteleria on the main road before Fisherman's Paseo.WE did a big grocery shopping on the first day at the Comercial (about $100 for a family of four) and that lasted us all week eating breakfast and snacks in the condo and only needing to go out to eat once a day for dinner. We had fantastic tamales at ANY'S restaurant (the best I've ever tasted), and the best tortilla soup at Bandido's (you also get a fun tableside magic show there). The culinary treat of the week was an international quality gourmet meal at Z's restaurant at Club Intrawest-- an outstanding meal in a romantic setting. The boat trip to Las Gatas was fun but the snorkeling there was a bit murky; we saw lots of fish but it looked like we were viewing in B&W instead of color. Our girls loved parasailing on Playa Ropa. We visited Ixtapa and Playa Linda (which was quite crowded and trashy) but felt Zihua was so much more of a colorful, character-ful, charming place. We were glad we chose to stay in Casa Contenta and we loved our stay here. The beds and showers are nice - we slept well here! The owners and the staff there made everything very easy and hospitable. We give it 4 stars for a laid back relaxing family vacation.
