Three of us stayed in this wonderful condo beginning 3/9/12. Two in the master bedroom and one in the 2nd bedroom located behind the curved sofa in the photos. The 2nd bedroom is one step up from the main level and remains private at night behind a pair of sliding doors. Both bathrooms are lovely. The photos posted for this condo are an accurate picture of how beautiful it is. We walked a few times down to La Ropa beach and also into downtown Zihua. Walks are moderately brisk but not too difficult. DO exercise caution when crossing the road at the bottom of the hill where the condo is located because traffic zips by at a good clip. The view from the condo is very nice and includes some roof tops and small sections of the roadway below the condo. However, all the condos and residences on this side of the road would have similar views. Views of the roof tops and roadway had no negative effect on our stay as they did not block views of the bay or Las Gatas Beach across the bay. There is not a view of La Ropa beach from the condo. Saw and heard lots of birds including Chachalacas walking on tree branches and trails directly behind the condo. I was able to get some great pictures. We very much enjoyed sitting in the bar/breezeway area overlooking the pool areas. Indeed there is a gentle breeze that blows through the shaded breezeway - quite nice for those who do not want to be directly in the sun. Can't say enough about how fantastic our visit to Zihua was. We were fortunate enough to be in town during the annual Carnival Celebration. In the downtown basketball court/ town square were kiddie rides, lots of food vendors, games and stage performances with a multitude of dancers in colorful costumes! The variety and prices of goods in the shops in Zihua and Ixtapa beat the shops we've visited in Playa del Carmen and Cancun. Here's a fun thing to do - have a taxi take you to the correct bus depot to catch a bus to Barra de Potosi beach. The bus will drop you off at a roadside stop where you then pay a few dollars to ride in the back of a canvas-covered pick-up truck for the final leg to the beach. At the beach are thatch-covered areas with tables where you can buy a cold brew, a plate of nachos or even lunch.This trip made for a memorable and delightful day!! After our day trip we were happy to return to our comfy and cool condo to watch the sun sink behind the hills of Zihua. Our vacation was magical!
