About this apartment rental
Perched on a verdant slope overlooking Playa la Ropa, our lovely Zihuatanejo vacation rental offers a quiet retreat in the heart of the Mexican Riviera. We have everything you could possibly want, including 300 square meters of luxury space, two private decks, and a resort-style pool you’ll practically have to yourself. All that’s missing is you!
This spacious and quiet condo accommodates six guests with room to spare, and its amenities rival that of an upscale hotel.
The peaceful master bedroom suite has a king-size bed and a large deck where you can sunbathe while taking in the view of Zihuatanejo Bay. The ocean breezes from both terraces are divine!
The second bedroom, also with a king-size bed, provides sweeping views of the surrounding mountains. The third bedroom features a full-size bed and a twin-size bed. Each bedroom has its own bathroom, ceiling fan, and A/C.
Whether you prepare your own meals or take advantage of our traditional chef services, you’ll find everything you need in our fully-equipped kitchen. Gather in the indoor dining area for an informal lunch, or dine alfresco on the deck as you drink in the view of the Pacific Ocean. Afterwards, sunbathe by the resort-style pool as you sip your salt-rimmed margarita and enjoy the light ocean breeze.
When you’re ready for a change of scenery, it’s a short, four-minute walk to Playa la Ropa, where you can swim, boat, snorkel, and dive. Las Gatas, a secluded beach you can only reach by boat or by foot, is a ten minute walk from the rental. There are numerous eateries within walking distance as well, including many hole-in-the-wall favorites and high-end restaurants with well-known chefs. You can also drive five minutes to Ixtapa, a small town with two world-class golf courses, a traditional handicraft market, and a variety of restaurants and nightclubs.
This gorgeous, luxury condo is one of 14 in the development, but it offers complete privacy, relaxation, and comfort, whether you’re a large family or a couple on a romantic getaway.

Enjoyed our stay. Beautiful view We had no issues accessing the beach, the pool was clean and inviting (although the waterfall was turned off), the place was very clean.
Beware for those that have trouble with stairs, There are a lot of them here as this is built on a hill.

The views are terrific. Oscar was very quick to respond to all inquiries. The location is good to catch taxi/bus to the city center and close to the beach. As others have mentioned, it's a steep climb back from the beach. I would stay here again.

We loved our stay at Oscar’s place. There was plenty of space and the views were amazing. We had Sylvia cook for us one night and the food was delicious. They had two pack n plays for both of our young kids which was super helpful. There is a lot of stairs to the pool and back which made carry both kids and our stuff a trek, but it wasn’t a big deal. Overall we had a wonderful time and would highly recommend!

This is the second unit we have stayed in at Punta Marina and was even better than the first.
There are 2 patios and we spent a lot of time there enjoying the morning and evening views of the bay.
The living area and dining rooms are large and comfortable so we never felt crowded.
The kitchen is small but had everything we needed to cook meals. The gas grill was clean and worked well.
There are wall mounted air conditioners in every room but often, the breeze from the bay was sufficient for a comfortable temperature.
Great location! The walk to La Ropa beach took us about 15 min and it was easy to get a cab.
Oscar was very responsive to questions and requests…great communication!
If you have mobility issues, please be aware that there is a very steep driveway (or alternate staircase) to go down to reach the bottom of the staircase to the unit. We arrived after dark and I have some knee issues and felt a bit unstable going down the steep drive in the dark.
I would recommend this unit and would rent it again!

This property is amazing. This was our second time staying at Punta Marina and everything was as wonderful as the first time. The views are amazing, the beds are comfortable and it is a 5-10 minute walk to La Ropa beach, which is fabulous. If you have a chance, I would definitely recommend Sylvia to cook dinner one night. She is a great cook and will help you with anything you need. I would definitely recommend and cannot wait until our next stay. Thank you!

We enjoyed our time at Punta Marina and would not hesitate to come back. The condo is perfect for 3 couples with plenty of room. Beautiful views. It was very easy to contact the host with any questions and they were very quick to respond. There is a bit of a hike back up the hill from the beach, but there are plenty of taxis if someone has walking issues.
5.0
The property is better than described in the listing. It is a large 3 bedroom with 2 huge, mostly shaded, decks. The driveway is extremely steep and so is the short walk to the beach. There is no dishwasher though.
The unit was comfortable and well laid out. We would definitely go back.

Spent 10 days at Punta Marina. Condo was just as listed with fantastic views of the bay! We had Sylvia prepare a meal for us which was very delicious and wish we had done it sooner as we likely would have had her cook another meal as well! 5 mins walk to the beautiful La Ropa Beach - walk may be difficult for some as lots of stairs and quite steep in parts.

Right from the booking to the end of our stay, Oscar and Sylvia made everything easy. The condo is lovely, the views and sunsets are stunning and it is a close distance by cab to get anywhere. It was perfect for the four of us, plenty of room with each of us having our own bathroom and enough space overall. Thanks again! 😊

The unit was very clean. Plenty of space. Good location. Manager was very responsive, Sylvia was great. Community was accommodating. Beach was easy to swim and walk around. It was a real safe environment, where ever we went.
All in all, things went well.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Punta Marina 302 is a very spacious and lovely condo. Oscar is a wonderful host and was quick to answer any questions we had. We will be back!

The condo is large and spacious with 3 bedrooms that are nicely spaced out, roomy and each comes with it's own bathroom. My brother and his wife stayed with us for just over a week and it was nice for them and us to have our own space in the morning. The walk to the beach was easy and after a few days the walk back from the beach was easier. Beautiful view.

Zihua is a special placce for sure! The condo was spacious and well equipped. Housekeeping was thorough, clothes were washed if left out which was a fun surprise. We liked the location as it provided wonderful views of the bay. The walk to the beach is quick, down a steep hill and a large set of stairs. We did not mind the climb, it worked off a margarita or two. We stayed during Christmas break, so the price was inflated, probably would have given 5 stars, but for the price we payed, would expect next level appointments such as luxury linen and upgrades to the kitchen.

Best Property Manager Ever
First time in Zihuatanejo. Had a wonderful vacation. The accommodation was good, the manager excellent. He answered our many questions promptly, arranged for our Covid tests in the condo and helped out whenever we needed him. Lots of hills in the area - good for our fitness. We will come back.

This villa is a great place to stay in Zihua. It's a short 5 min walk down to La Ropa beach and the place has a fabulous view. The pool was also very clean and we had it to ourselves every day. People are very friendly in Zihua and we felt very safe everywhere we went. A cab ride to town is about $5 and takes 8 minutes or so. We loved our stay here and highly recommend!

This property is everything that's described. Oscar, Jacqui, and Sylvia will take good care of you. We had the unfortunate timing to be there during hurricane Rick and lost electricity for two days but they were so good about making sure we were ok. We've stayed there a couple times and will definitely be back again.

The view from this property is beautiful. Has ample space and the kitchen has what you need for cooking. The pool is nice it was only us using it when we went, it's pretty private. The breeze you get in the afternoon from the ocean is awesome. Beaches are nearby. The driveway is super steep but all the residences around this area are the same or even more steep. The issues we had we were able to get them solved by reaching out to Oscar, he was very attentive. Thanks again for all your help and for letting us stay we greatly enjoyed our stay.

Great Condo with Amazing Ocean Views
The views from this condo are spectacular. We could see the entire Zihuat bay and mountain range. It was a joy to wake up to every morning. This condo was spacious, clean and provided all the amenities for a relaxing vacation including toiletries and 2x week housekeeping. We walked 5 min to Play La Ropa and stopped at La Perla most days to rent lounge chairs & enjoy the beach. Getting into centro was about a 40 mins walk along the beach or a very quick cab ride. Oscar was so helpful every step of the way. He arranged for airport transportation, responded quickly to all of our questions and helped us navigate COVID testing. We would not hesitate to book this condo again on a return visit.

Great stay!
This property was great for our party of 6. It was so great that each room had their own bathrooms and A/C units. The patio view is stunning! The walk down to the beach is about 7-10 depending on walking speed. It would have been nice if the property had a few folding beach chairs and an umbrella for when you venture to another beach. We also had Silvia prepare and cook dinner for us one night toward the end of our stay and regretted we didn’t do that sooner so we could have her return, her food was amazing and one of our favorites of the trip! If you stay here you need to hire her to cook at least 2-3x. Oscar did a great job of communicating and was able to have a response back to our party. I highly recommend renting this unit if you are looking for a place to enjoy Zijua!

Amazing!!!
The property was amazing! Stayed for 9 days and loved every minute! Clean, unbelievable views, comfortable beds, and Sylvia!!
This whole experience was amazing because of Sylvia. She cooked for us several times and the food was amazing!! She took amazing care of us. Beach towels provided, taxis available and walking distance to the beach. All amenities provided. Paper towels, toilet paper, shampoo, etc...Playa la Ropa is the best beach and just a 5 minute walk. Restaurants everywhere on the beach for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. We did them all! They are all good. Even took advantage of the recommendations from Oscars book(must read) and ordered Sunday football pizza from Pizza Loca. Can’t wait to come back and thank you Sylvia and Oscar!!

Incredible experience! Highly recommend!
Our group of 6 adults just returned from
the perfect 10 day vacation! This condo is so much better than any of us could have imagined and we can’t wait to go back! It is large enough that we all felt like we had our own space.
Oscar was so responsive to every question and need we had. Upon request, he very kindly arranged for transportation from the airport. It could not have been easier! He provides all the information needed to access the taxis and buses to easily get around the area. They are as close as the beach!
The location provides for the most incredible views. We all gathered nightly to watch the sunsets! It is a steep walk to down to the beach, but not a difficult one. The sparkling pool is there waiting for you on the walk up, for a quick cool down before you get “home”.
If you enjoy wildlife, be sure to bring binoculars to enjoy the bird watching in the nearby trees! We enjoyed watching them each morning while drinking coffee from the patios.
Sylvia is delightful and took such good care of us. We arranged with Oscar for Sylvia to prepare dinner for us one night. It was extremely affordable and such a treat! That meal was one of the highlights of our trip. So good!
We highly recommend this location for your next vacation! We cannot wait to go back!

5 stars!
We stayed a week at Oscar’s lovely condo with our 5-year old son, and it was perfect. The location is a short walk to the beautiful Playa La Ropa, and while the walk back up is a bit sweaty and dusty, you can jump in the pool as you pass by! We really appreciated Silvia’s visits to clean and the wonderful dinner she made us. The Punta Marina staff and neighbors were friendly and welcoming. We had a great time and we would love to return!

Perfect in every way!
I recently stayed at this property with a friend and my two children (aged 5 and 7). It was absolutely ideal for us. The condo itself is incredibly spacious and well laid out with a lovely ocean breeze at night - we only used the AC once! Silvia cleans daily and replenishes towels, etc. which is a real luxury. Oscar quickly responded to every question and query and arranged for transportation for the airport. Although this isn't necessary and costs a little more than a taxi, I loved the convenience and safety for my kids as most cabs seem to lack seatbelts.
There is a very quick and safe walk down to the beach from the condo and the water temperature was perfect. My kids had a ton of fun playing in the waves (which were very manageable in size). The condo pool was pretty much ours for the entire 9 days and the kids also had a ton of fun playing in this - the water is a little cooler and quite refreshing.
From the base of the hill you can also catch a cab or a bus into Zihua. We loved the bus and it is super cheap and seems to leave every few minutes so we didn't ever have to wait. Zihua is fun to explore and we took in a cultural festival which happens every Sunday evening in town - entertainment, street food, ++!
We thought the margaritas at Rossy's (right at the base of the hill) were the best on the beach :). We enjoyed the smoothies at Pati's (at the other end of the beach) + next door to Pati's they offered pottery painting for kids and adults - you buy a piece of pottery (very inexpensive) and then paint it yourself and they fire it and give you the completed piece the following day. The kids had a blast with this. I'm not sure if this happens every day but we did it on a Friday.
A perfect vacation at a perfect property with a perfect host. We will be back!

Can’t beat the view!
Our family of 6 enjoyed Oscar’s condo for 3 weeks in January 2018. We had everything we needed to make our trip great! We also enjoyed our first nights meal immensely so perfectly prepared by Silvia!! We would highly recommend doing this!! As past reviews have stated, the climb back up to the condo from the beach is not for everyone so just be aware that it’s doable but steep! Overall we enjoyed our stay very much and would recommend it!!

Perfect accommodations with a breathtaking view and spacious living!
… Where to start? We have been to Zihuatanejo a few times and we were traveling with my parents who have been there every year for a couple of decades, but this was our first time in Punta Marina. We were six people ranging in age from 9 to 70’s and stayed over Christmas week.
Although the pictures online are beautiful they absolutely do not do it justice...the views from the porch and front door are probably some of the nicest views i’ve ever had while traveling. I was also Surprised at the size of the bedrooms as well as the over all living area. We loved spending lazy afternoons reading on the porch after a morning of beach time.
Things we loved:
-The view!! I miss it as I type!
-Having breakfasts and some lunches in our condo. We went on the first day and got groceries.
- having our own bathrooms for each bedroom .
-Daily cleaning by Silvia
-Concierge service by Oscar for any of our needs
-the daily walk down to the beach
-A beautiful lunch/swim at La Escollera right up the hill
-Having water delivery in our kitchen
-Christmas Eve dinner by Silvia
-The clean pool set in the hillside
-Breakfasts at Paty’s
-All the water sports next to La Perla
-The goodies for sale when leaving La Ropa to head back up-ice cream, popsicles, churros
There are probably many more things but these come to mind.
Some items to know:
-For my parents in their 70’s (but in very good shape) the afternoon hike up the steep hill back from the beach was a lot some days. The good news is it’s very easy to catch a taxi at La Ropa back to the condo.
-To get a taxi to leave your condo you need to call one. Once we found a few that spoke English, we got their numbers and would call them for rides
-Silvia does not speak any English so it is helpful to use google translate to leave her notes or communicate with her. She is a lovely woman and a hard worker. Tip her well :-)
-If you plan an excursion or day trip and need to leave early- line up your transportation ahead of time. There are not as many taxis available in the morning and we had to walk down to La Ropa and a nice woman at the corner stand that sells drinks and snacks called a taxi for us.
-There is a DVD player so if you want to bring movies along for the evenings, there is a lot of space and also Netflix is available.
Overall, this was a wonderful place to stay! I hope to be back at Punta Marina and of my dozens of Mexico trips, this was probably one of my absolute favorites. Highly recommend.

Increíble departamento en Playa La Ropa
El departamento está padrisimo, es un lugar donde te puedes relajar porque no hay nada de ruido y donde te sientes seguro. La vista que tiene al mar, desde las terrazas es hermosa. La alberca esta muy grande y muy a gusto. Hay varios restaurantes cercanos y Playa La Ropa está muy cerca, es una playa super tranquila, casi no hay olas lo que la hace ideal para los niños. El lugar se presta para un viaje tanto en familia como con amigos. El departamento está muy limpio y todo el condominio también (incluida la alberca).

Bella estancia en Zihua
Mi familia y yo quedamos invitados a volver y a recomendar. Hermoso lugar, muy bien equipado, una vista hermosa y todos los servicios. La alberca, las instalaciones, todo muy limpio y muy tranquilo. Solo me atrevo a hacer una observación, que para personas que cuenten con avanzada edad o alguna discapacidad, hay que subir y bajar escaleras. Pero para nosotros, estuvo de 10 de calificación.

Great condo, great view, responsive owner
We stayed for a week in mid-April. There were three adults and two children and there was ample room. The condo is modern and in excellent shape with an incredible view of the bay. Oscar was very responsive and helpful. We had Silvia prepare three meals. All of them were outstanding and the price was reasonable.
It isn't a long walk to the beach, but there are a lot of stairs. We didn't mind it, but it would be a handful if you were in poor physical shape or had disabilities.
We spent most of our time on the beach. Playa la Ropa is one our favorites. There is also a pool that is well-maintained and was never crowded.
It is a great property and we would rent it again.

Wonderful condo with gorgeous view
We stayed at punta marina for a week in late march- the condo was amazingly gorgeous, with plenty of room for two families. Oscar was extremely communicative, and got back to questions/ queries extremely fast. Sylvia was incredible- she cooked two incredible meals for us- definitely ask her to make you fish, and margaritas- both are to die for!
The condo is on the top of a hill, split between two very different beaches- be sure to explore both of them- Los Gatos is on the left and accessible via a pathway along the rocks- when you get there- there is plenty of snorkeling, and fantastic palabras to camp out during the day- also no waves, so a great option with smaller kids. Playa ropa is on the right, and a fab beach for long walks, sandcastle building, etc... waves are no more than 3 feet high. All the palabras are also amazing, but I have to admit Los Gatos was my favorite, so make sure you don't miss it!
At the bottom of the hill, you can get fresh ceviche and oysters in a makeshift area that gets set up daily- definitely worth it- you won't get fresher oysters, as they pick them that day.
The stairs and walk was quite refreshing- it was really nice to get a bit more exercise than if you were on the beach and falling out of your room to the beach- I personally preferred it to the lazier beach resorts- and in the heat of the day, you can stop at the pool on the way up to your room and rinse off/cool down.
Town is a long walk past the other end of playa ropa, a water taxi from Los Gatos, or a 50-70 peso cab ride from the taxi stop at the bottom of the hill. Definitely head there for a sat/Sunday night, as a festival seems to show up in the town square and is wonderful for all ages.
You absolutely can't go wrong with this condo- it is really incredible. Thank you oscar and Sylvia for a wonderful vacation.

Wonderful Vacation Spot!
Condo was just as pictured, well-maintained with gorgeous views. Had everything we needed in the condo. We enjoyed relaxing on the patio of the condo and the pool area was lovely as well. Oscar was very responsive to questions both before and during the stay. It was an easy walk to the beach from the condo (we weren't convinced from the view that it was really a 4 minute walk, but it was!). The walk up is a little harder, especially with small children, as there are lots of stairs. You can also walk on a rocky path to Playa Los Gatos (about 15 min walk), which we hadn't realized initially and were quite pleased to find that out. Overall a great stay!
