Excellent communication with host. Very good location with easy access to everything. Place very clean. Note AC only in bedroom. Highly recommend it but be aware if weather is very hot the apartment will be very hot as well. I would definitely stay at this place again but not in the peak of summer.

Shelley’s place is wonderful! Clean and comfortable in the heart of the Madera district. Just a few blocks from the beach. Amazing restaurants around every corner of the La Ceiba complex. Shelley was very helpful before and during our stay. She gave excellent recommendations for a variety of attractions. Her property manager, Vanessa, was attentive and willing to assist us at a moments notice. We would love to return for a future vacation! Shelley’s place is highly recommended!

From the very beginning the communication with the owners and the reception from the manager upon arrival was excellent. This place is very private, secure and in an excellent location close to the beach, shopping, restaurants and the taxis are directly across the street. Perfect for 2 people in a tropical setting with 2 nice pools. Completly equipped, including a nice Bose bluetooth stereo. Ive been to Zihua many times and i give this place 2 thumbs up recommendation !

Nice condo in a handy location close to town, although a little noisey. Mexicans love their celebrations! The open air living was great, and the two pools were a welcome relief from the Zihuatanejo heat.

loved the property but i do feel that the table and bbq area could use a good cleaning and make it more inviting to sit in that area.

Casa Almendro is a large comfortable 1 bedroom unit in a superb central location in Zihua. It's a gated complex with 2 clean refreshing pools, a welcome benefit to cool after a day in the heat. If you are into Mexican adventures, seeking out local culture and food, then this will be a perfect unit for you to consider. Close to Playa Madera (10 minute walk), Centro (15 minutes), the open air market at Solidaridad (5 Minutes), and a Soriana Mega store (15 minutes). As well, and conveniently, there is a taxi stand right outside the main gate to get you to other destinations inexpensively. We used taxis to visit friends in Playa La Ropa on multiple occasions. a good selection of local restaurants are close, safe and entertaining. We recommend Rufo's right around the corner. Lastly, the owner Shelly's Mexican manager, Vanessa, is lovely to deal with and speaks fluent English. We had a minor problem with ants, and Vanessa's team were knocking on our door the next morning to do a thorough clean and manage the issue. Zihuatenejo is an adventure, and we'll be back to stay in this unit again. R & C.
Note - Casa Almendro is on the 2nd floor without an elevator. Just a heads up for those with mobility issues.

The only downside was that they were working on a roof right outside The unit. It wasn’t full-time but a little distractive, and not very private at that time.

Paradise
Casa Almendro quickly became our home away from home!
Meeting Shelly the owner, upon our arrival, made us feel so welcome! The pools, tropical plantation, staff and friendly neighbours make this a very desirable location.
The condo is spacious, clean and very beautifully decorated. Shelly and Don have paid great attention to details to every part of the unit. We loved the two open spaces and enjoyed many game nights out there. And the cozy King bed always felt so comfortable after our days in the warm sun!
A perfect location for shopping, beaches and eating out! Great selection of restaurants near by.
A real gem of a place to enjoy all the wonderful things Zihuatanejo has to offer. Pure Paradise!
Looking forward to returning soon!
Gracias!

This property is very spacious and ideally located near shopping, restaurants and the beach. The property is well equip for cooking your own meals or BBQing. The grounds are well kept and absolutely beautiful, Jesus the grounds keeper ensures that it always looks perfect for the guest to enjoy. We enjoy the peacefulness of the property and hate when it's time to depart. We will always return. Thank you Shelly for sharing this wonderful palce with us.

Our condo at La Cieba was exactly what we hoped for...private, quiet, gorgeous landscaping.
The condo was spacious, with two open air decks. We enjoyed both swimming pools daily. We were also close to beaches, shopping and restaurants....I would not hesitate to recommend this property to friends and family!

We loved the place, very comfy, beautiful gardens and great pool.
Absolutely perfect location, friendly residents & staff. Great neighborhood. Liked the open air feel. The ninja professional blender was terrific and we had many delicious fresh fruit smoothies. Only glitch was the bedroom toilet which was running. Needs to be fixed. We ran out of water once because if it. We would definitely stay again & recommend to others.

Amazing condo in a great complex
We absolutely loved Shelley's condo. It is spacious and very well equipped and it is obvious that the owners have put a lot of time into decorating and maintaining it.
The condo is located in the Playa Madera area and it is within easy walking distance of shops, town, the beach and numerous restaurants. The complex is beautiful with 2 swimming pools and lots of chairs and loungers. We will be back for sure and we highly recommend this rental.

Perfect way to spend New Year’s
Thank you Shelley for being so accommodating and Vanessa for being so responsive and attentive! Our second year at Casa Almendro, and we love it! We have been coming to Zihua since 2001, and Playa Madera is were we like to stay. Casa Amendro is the perfect location, as well as being one of the best equipped and relaxing places we’ve stayed.

Comfortable, colorful, and convenient
I highly recommend Casa Almendro as a place to stay in Zihuatanejo. The second story, one bedroom condo is spacious, well-appointed, and a delight to the eye, with its arching walls and Mexican tiles. There is a pool right below the condo and we dipped in every afternoon to cool off. This was our first time in Zihuatanejo. Shelley gave us detailed instructions for navigating the airport and taxi get to our condo, which was so thoughtful. Vanessa, the property manager, is also incredibly helpful and friendly. Her English is excellent, which came in handy as our Spanish vocabulary is limited.
Casa Almendro is perfectly situated for exploring all aspects of Zihuatanejo right outside your door. (Outside the (always locked) door of the condo grounds.) We stayed for a month, and we shopped in the local markets, took boat rides to Playa Las Gatas (for great snorkeling), boogie boarded 3 blocks away at Playa Madera, and walked ten minutes over the hill to Playa La Ropa. There is a taxi stand across the street, and you can easily take a taxi anywhere you want to go. The only negative we found was the noise of the streets and the loud recorded music played everywhere. This is not a criticism of Casa Almendro. It's just a warning that Mexican towns are noisy. Bring earplugs.
The king-sized bed was very comfortable, and the spacious kitchen had everything we needed for cooking. I loved the indoor-outdoor living: sitting in the open air dining area overlooking the pool. There is air conditioning in the bedroom for cooling off, and fans throughout the rest of the condo. If you are looking to immerse yourself in the culture of a Pacific Mexico town, while simultaneously feeling safe and comfortable, then Casa Almendra is for you.

The best
This was our best vacation ever.The complex ,the apartment,the location and not to forget the neighbors ,were all so much a part of this wonderful time we had .Shelly you have a gem of a place.We can only hope that we can return someday.Thank you to Vanessa for all your helpful information. I could go on for ever how much we enjoyed our stay in your apartment and the complex, it had everything a person could ever want.Zihuatanejo is truly a place I would recommend to anyone BUT I am worried if I do it would lessen my chance of ever returning to such a wonderful place.

Perfect!!
The condo exceeded expectations. We have been coming to Zihua for 17 years and love the Madera area. The condo was very comfortable, clean and well equipped. It had two blenders — need I say more! Shelley was incredibly responsive to my questions, and Venessa was very helpful making sure we got settled in. Can’t wait to go back in December — Thanks Shelley

Casa Almendro - the perfect home away
Staying at Casa Almendro provided everything we needed to make our visit to Zihuatanejo a great vacation. Just down the steps is a wonderful pool or a few minutes walk takes us to a lovely beach. Around the corner is a variety of quality restaurants and another short walk takes us to the town centre or the Fisherman's walkway–vibrant with cafés, more restaurants and local shops. Everything is convenient and close at hand–take your pick and choose what you want to do.
The casa itself is tastefully decorated, furnished and fully equipped with every convenience one could want or need. AC for sleeping and fans throughout keep the casa comfortable all the time. It is obvious that great care has been taken to make anyone's stay in Casa Almendro trouble free and a special experience to enjoy and remember. We appreciated and thoroughly enjoyed all it had to offer. Casa Almendro sets the stage for that perfect vacation!

Fantastic!!
We just returned from a fantastic 3 week stay at Casa Almendro. We are so in love with the convenient location of this condo in the Madera area. No taxi needed as we could walk to our destinations but taxis were plentiful if needed. It is always a delight to reunite with good friends we have met over the years while coming down to Zihuatanejo. We had numerous delicious meals, several just within a couple minutes walk from the condo. Highlights for us are the abundant fresh fruits, vegetables and seafood. The dorado was on while we were there which is one of our favorite meals grilled simply with garlic. Vanessa, Casa Almendro Manager, is a gem and always helpful and responsive when anything was needed. Great vacation destination!

Beautiful Roomy Paradise
We loved our two week stay at Casa Almendro. This condo is bright and roomy and very well appointed.
The location is close to everything we needed for our stay. Short walk to the fresh market for fruits, veggies and fresh seafood. Great restaurants within a nice stroll. Madeira Beach a 5 minute walk.
Shelley and her manager Vanessa were great to deal with and went above and beyond for us.
I highly recommend staying here and we can’t wait to go back

Two Weeks in ZIHUATANEJO
The upstairs unit was well equipped. Our property manager arranged for laundry and homemade tortillas for Thanksgiving. There was no charge for the bottles of water delivered to our door. Everything was walking distance and we did plenty of it.

Beautiful Landscaping. Close to Town, Restaurants & Beaches
We stayed in this lovely apartment for the month of Oct 2017. It was extremely hot this month and even the locals were complaining of the heat. Over 90 every day and sometimes 95 with very oppressive humidity. I mention this because having stayed in Zihaut in Sept some 8 years back we didn't even need an air conditioner.
PROS:
1. Very roomy 1 bedroom, 2 bath apartment
2. Well stocked kitchen (we didn't want for any additional appliances)
3. Big patio off the kitchen for eating.
4. Central location so easy walk to town, restaurants & beaches.
5. Taxi stand right out the front door of the complex
6. Laundry service 1 short block away.
7. King bed, quite comfy.
8. TWO pools, one of which is adults only.
9. At this time of year there are very few people in the complex. About 3 full time residents plus 2 or 3 visitors. (approx 35 suites in all).
10. Air con in the bedroom
11. Weekly maid service.
12. The owners are very accommodating and will help if you need anything.
CONS:
1. During our stay, there was no reprieve from the relentless heat except in the bedroom where the aircon was. The dining area fan was all but useless, same for kitchen, slightly better in the living area, but definitely NOT cool!
2. If you want other folks around you, this is not the place for you in Oct.
3. NO VIEW - I got confused into thinking there was a view to the beach due to the photos on the VRBO site, but there is none whatsoever. From the dining area you look out at the roof of another building.
4. FUMIGATION - this surprised me. They did it 2x while there, 1st time no warning and they did it at 5:30 (just when we were preparing dinner). The fog comes right up to the 2nd floor and permeates the air for about 24 hours. They did change their policy to advise in future and we did get notified so we could make arrangements to be out the evening they did it.
5. POOL - I think the intake skimmer was not working properly because the pool always had leaves and small bugs in it for the entire time we were there. Hopefully they will rectify that.
6. POOL SIDE CHAIRS - There are no cushions for the chairs or chaise lounges and after about an hour you do get tired sitting in them. If would have been nice to have cushions as we tend to spend lots of time at the pool.
7. TOWELS - there were 2 towels for showering & 2 towels for the beach. It wasn't really enough considering the frequency with which you need to shower in the heat & beach towels get quite salty.

We stayed here at the end of February 2016 and would be happy to stay here again. The condo is large for a 1 bdr. Two full baths! It is as well-furnished and attractive as the beautiful pictures on the website. The manager, Vanessa, was at La Ceiba to meet us on a Sunday afternoon and show us to the condo. Her young niece and nephew helped us bring up the luggage. It was clean and well-equipped. We had nothing but good experiences with the owner and the manager.

We just completed a 3 week stay at Casa Almendro and had a wonderful & relaxing time. It is probably the nicest suite we've stayed in since we started coming to Zihua a few years ago. Shelley and Don’s beautiful spacious home is exactly as described with lovely tiles and bright colours everywhere. Shelley is extremely organized and it’s evident in every aspect of this suite. We particularly appreciated the very well-stocked kitchen with lots of useful gadgets and all the spices and condiments which had been so thoughtfully laid out for her guests. Other little thoughtful touches such as the frosted mugs in the freezer were much appreciated, especially with the unusually hot weather in Zihua this year. The condo is in a great neighbourhood with wonderful restaurants just a few feet away. It’s also within a 15 minute walk to the large grocery store Comercial Mexicana where we usually go for all our provisions. The lush grounds and pool area of La Ceiba are lovingly maintained by Jesus the gardener and the whole complex is very safe and secure. We slept with our windows and doors open most of the time and never had any cause for concern. Communication with Shelley and Vanessa (the property manager) was always professional and they responded quickly to any questions we had. Vanessa even had a 6 pack of Coronitas waiting for us when we arrived so that was a delightful welcome treat. Thank you so much again Shelly & Don for sharing your “muy hermosa casa” with us – we will definitely recommend Casa Almendro to all our friends. Until next time….!
