Spectacular views in a stunning traditional villa on top of a resort.
5.0 / 5.0
We had an absolutely amazing stay at this spectacular property in Ixtapa! Our group was 10 adults and we were treated to a phenomenal view every morning, top end food, sunshine, service that was second to none, daily walks on the beach and many unforgettable moments!
The property itself was very unique. The pictures don't quite do it justice as it's built into the side of a cliff overlooking the ocean and Ixtapa bay and beach. The sunsets were spectacular everyday. Each of the rooms had king size beds and their own bathroom/shower. Some had additional sitting, lounging spaces with a gorgeous view of the bay. The common area is an open area with a pool, sundeck, covered lounge area, living room type area, dining room and bar area with many cute corners and spaces to lay in the sun or shade to read, meditate, stretch... While this common area had the main pool that we spent most of our days in and out of regularly, there are two other smaller pools on lower levels which provided a nice change during different parts of the day. Each room was immaculate and the staff seamlessly cleaned and made up each room while we were at breakfast everyday.
It's very hard to describe how amazing Tello, Juanita and his staff were from every aspect. They were all fantastic and Tello was able to accommodate our every need. The food was unique and every meal delicious. I have no more room for comments but can't thank Tello enough for making this one of the most memorable vacations we've ever had!

This was our second visit to Casa del Sol but the first time for all of our friends and our group can hardly wait to return again next year. Of course the property itself is spectacular but the hospitality of Agnes, Tello, Juanita, Lupe and Luis is second to none! And a shout out to Manuel and his transportation team who provided timely and friendly rides to and from the airport and on all of our excursions. Casa del Sol is not to be missed if you are looking for the vacation of a lifetime for you and your family and friends. Thank you!

This is our third year in a row staying at this beautiful home. We have already booked for 2025. The setting and ocean views are unmatched. This year we saw humpback whales everyday! Tello, Juanita, Lupe and Louis take first class care of us; cooking fabulous meals, twice daily room turndowns and so fun. Highly recommend!

We were a group of 8 adults and could not have felt more welcome, comfortable, and well fed. The property is one of the most beautiful we have encountered in our travels and each room is unique, and located at different levels, ensuring everyone had privacy. The communal space and pools were spotless and the views of the bay made it hard to want to leave.
Tello and Juanita created a casual yet luxurious living and dining experience and anticipated our every need. We took a tour of Mexican cuisine with Tello’s cooking, and he was able to accommodate all preferences and allergies graciously and deliciously. He even let us act as sous chef in the kitchen. Watching the master in action and chatting with Juanita was so much fun, it is truly your house for the duration of the stay.
Manuel was a fantastic driver and guide, and has many local connections, making planning trips exciting and fun. We highly recommend snorkeling in Manzanillo and the senses and savours tour of the Zihuatanejo markets.
I felt so lucky to find this absolute gem of a villa, and we plan to return as often as we can.
P.S. Bring some bug spray :)

Fabulous visit! The home is truly a dream and the staff very accommodating. Loved all the beautiful nooks and crannies…there’s beauty around every corner although some areas need a bit of a refresh because it is truly luxurious so the shabbiness stuck out! Only “issue” was the unseasonably hot weather in the mid 90’s all week and we would have loved if the bathrooms attached to each bedroom were also air conditioned. It was impossible to shower and use a mirror. Silly “problem” but we didn’t want to stay in the pool all week!
Resort property location felt safe and secure and we enjoyed the funicular to the beach almost every day. Last detail to mention…we truly appreciated that we had a driver/excursion rep at our disposal!
Already looking at dates to rebook.

This is our second time staying at the property. It was just as good as the first time. The on site staff couldn’t be better or more accommodating. Anything you want is available and anything you want to do to offsite is handled. The food prepared by Teo and his family is the best on the island. Be prepared to eat! Anges checks in to see if your stay is as good as it can be and is very warm and welcoming. You won’t find a better place to stay!

We stayed here in 2021 and just got back from another stay in May 2023. We can't say enough good things about both stays! From the moment you arrive, you are greeted by the entire staff at the top of the villa. Your stay begins with these simple words from Tallo: "Welcome to your home." Agnes is always accessible and helps through the entire process. Tallo and his family are simply the best customer service you will ever experience. Tallo's cooking... unbelievably perfect. Even Manuel, who works with Agnes and Tallo, to take care of transportation and tours, is caring and so helpful. We will continue to return over and over again.

This property has everything you could possibly want! It is beautiful, well-managed, and comfortable…as well as extremely luxurious.
However, the very best part is the staff.
The owner is very responsive to any inquiry or message. Tello and Juanita are wonderful hosts and take care of their guests better than I can describe. Tello’s cooking is totally amazing. There’s no better food anywhere! He is gracious, kind, helpful and a perfect host for this wonderful property.
Thank you Tello and Juanita!!!

This is our third experience as a group of 6 friends and it did not disappoint. The house and setting are one of a kind. The staff of Tello, Juanita and Lupicia took excellent care of us. They provided first class food, service and support throughout our stay. We plan to make this our annual destination to escape the snow and cold!

I can't say enough good things about the villa and staff! Tello, Lupita, and Juanita were fabulous hosts. All of the bedrooms are spaced out in a way that provides plenty of privacy and comfortable places to get away and relax away from your larger group. It was easy to access the beach and amenities at Pacifica resort, via the gondola. We also appreciated that the home owner Agnes, took the time to call and check in early in our stay. We cannot wait to visit again!

This is truly a five star vacation experience. Upon arrival in Ixtapa, we were picked up at the airport by a private driver, Manuel. From there, Tello and team were super responsive to our meal requests and everything they made was INCREDIBLE (they prepare three meals a day; spaghetti bolognese and chili rellenos were our favorites). It was my birthday celebration with friends so they even made a special birthday dessert one night. Every evening there was a turndown service in our rooms and every morning the place had been cleaned with fresh coffee waiting. The property itself is at the very top of a resort, so we felt safe the entire time. You can take the funicular down to the beach, which we did for a couple hours one day, but honestly we just never wanted to leave the property. I already have friends who came with us that are looking to book their next stay with other friends or family. Look no further if you are looking for a relaxing, effortless, five star experience.

We had a wonderful stay at Casa del Sol. Tello, Juanita and Manuel were so helpful. The food was great & we got everything we asked for. Rooms were well supplied and clean. We enjoyed boat rental, atv tour & snorkel trip. The view is breathtaking. All of us girls may have had tears when we first saw it. Looking forward to returning for sure. We're even considering buying a place in Ixtapa. Can't say enough about it. Love the people, culture, mountains & beaches!

Stairway to the "SOUL"... Casa del Sol :)
Every descriptive word that can describe how we all felt can be found in the Dictionary under AMAZING! From the first pick up ride at the airport, to the house of a million stairs which leads you all to SPECTACULAR views and comforts, to our amazing house Chef Tello and his wife Juanita, to all the wonderful staff and then to the last drop off at the end of our vacation were SUPERIOR. We cannot say enough kind words without writing on for days, but just take our words into account when deciding to stay here or not, it is a place not to be overlooked.
A small side note about this home are all the stairs. There are a lot of stairs. So, people with knee issues will certainly only get to stay on the top floor and dining areas as there are 4 great floors to get to and all are worth the pain if they can tolerate it. Not to be missed out.
Also, please be cautious when getting out of the pools. We did have a few slipping falls occur, nothing that required a hospital or clinic call, but could have been avoided if we were told to be super cautious when getting in or out. My opinion or suggestion would be to require the use of pool shoes to avoid any further slips or major falls.
The one sad note was the Gondola ride from the parking area down to the ocean, which just so happened to be under construction/maintenance, and it was very sad news to hear especially since each ride from the house staffed driver, cost you out of pocket to get anywhere below, so bring your spare change $$$
That's all for now, we certainly will call upon Agnes again if Ixtapa is in our future. Thank you so much for having your beautiful home open for the rest of the world to enjoy!
Sincerely,
The Chavez Family ♥

An Ixtapa Gem!
Quite possibly the most beautiful property and experience at Casa Del Sol! Each room has amazing views and Tello and the house staff were always accommodating and the homemade food can't be beaten. We can't wait to come back and had the best time!

Magnificent
This property is a real gem! The gorgeous views from every room are breathtaking. There are so many areas with comfortable seating to relax and enjoy! The property affords privacy and yet enough space for a large group to be together.
It was very easy to communicate with the owner and she answered every question and request promptly.
I cannot say enough about the on-site staff! They were pleasant, welcoming, knowledgeable, friendly and responsive! We so much enjoyed being with them. By the end of our week we felt as though they had been friends forever.
And….Tello’s meals were absolutely scrumptious! Each meal was beyond delicious!! He prepared everything with fresh ingredients and with obvious care!
What a great vacation!!! Many thanks to Tello, Juanita and Lupe!!!

Return to Paradise!
This was our third stay at Casa Del Sol and we were not disappointed. Many beautiful upgrades and suite expansions since our last visit only added to our exceptional experience. Location is the best in Ixtapa and feels like a private resort. The staff; chef Tello, Juanita and Lupa took great care of us and served tasty meals tailored to our requests. The meals were so good and the setting so beautiful, we rarely left the property. We have already booked our stay for next year. Agnes the property owner is very easy to work with and checked on our satisfaction during our visit. Highest recommendations.

This was the best experience ever. The house was beautiful and the views were amazing. But what was more impressive was the hospitality that Tello and his family showed us throughout our stay. Every single meal we had was delicious. I would definitely stay here again and looking forward to going back soon. Thank you

An Incredible Experience!
First, thank you VRBO for making this property available that lead to an incredible experience and vacation. Casa Del Sol is a very beautiful property with a view that has to be the best in Ixtapa. With this beautiful view, you also get to experience the best meals that are prepared by the great team of Tello and Juanita. You know that you are on a great vacation when you absolutely are looking forward to the next meal whether it is breakfast, lunch, or dinner that was prepared by them. Agnes was great to work with and always accommodating to our request. This is one of the places that can offer a vacation experience that not only stays with you for the rest of your life but will also stay with your family as well.

Exceptional property and staff!
We enjoyed our stay along with 5 other couples to celebrate my 50th birthday. Tello, Juanita and Leti took care of us each and every day with a variety of authentic meals cooked to perfection. Tello arranged multiple in house massages and even our COVID testing for our flights back. Each room had wonderful views of the ocean and sunsets and the multiple pools allowed us to follow the shade and enjoy them all. There are a lot of stairs but we all managed them without any trouble. By far, the best vacation spot ever! Secluded and quiet with a short walk to the free funicular down to the beach and parties. Tello will also set you up with Manuel who will help you plan various excursions from city tours to fishing and even a trip to release some newborn turtles! We had a wonderful time. Thank you for having us. We'll be back for sure!!!

Outstanding property and staff
Our first stay in the Ixtapa area. We did extensive research and wanted a house to be away from the crowds (COVID) and to relax. We picked the perfect house. It is ideally located, West facing on the Ixtapa bay, which provided amazing views and perfect sunsets. The house has so much character and would be perfect for up to 3 families or 4 couples. There is plenty of living space and lots of spots to congregate or find alone time.
The best part was the hospitality of Tello and Juanita. The food was AMAZING! Tello works with you to map out what you want every day, and he does such a nice job with the selection, quality and any needs you have. I learned how he makes the hot salsa, guacamole and chocolate mousse. Juanita keeps things clean and help Tello make his magic.
We used Manuel to book our tours (zip lining, city tour and fishing). Growing up in the area, we felt welcomed by him and trusted him to ensure we had a great time.
The beach is a 200 foot and a funicular ride away (funicular was getting maintenance) or a quick van ride to the bottom of the hill. My daughter enjoyed the custom coffees at the Pacifica resort every day, which allowed me to get in some steps.
Agnus, the property manager was super helpful preparing us. She arranged for a taxi to/from the airport so we didn't need a rental car.
We are definitely booking here again.

Felt like royalty!
There just aren't enough words to describe how incredible this property is! We are still in compete awe! Tello, Juanita and Lety are nothing short of amazing either! The meals were all fabulous and cooked with love! The rooms, the pools, the landscaping! Wow!! And the view couldn't have been more perfect! We watched a momma whale teaching her babies everyday! Our every expectation was exceeded!! We will be back!

Lives up to all the great reviews!
First and foremost, Tello and his family were wonderful. The best food I have ate in Mexico! We did not even want to go out to eat! There were 11 of us staying here. The rooms were out of a magazine. The view..... no words or pictures do it justice. If there has to be a negative, it would only be we were not allowed to use the funicular or pool at the lower level of the property. On the website it states this was available. But when we arrived we were told it was private and we could not use it. Would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it! Thanks for an amazing time!

Exceeded our Expectations!
When you read review after review of how amazing a place is you wonder if it really is true.... When you see photos of a beautiful property you set a level of expectations you HOPE get met. This trip has by far blown us out of the water with what we expected! The casa is absolutely gorgeous! The view is the best.view you will ever have in Ixtapa. The staff is so amazing!! Tello and his wife Juanita were such gracious hosts and Claudia was an amazing helper too! So cheerful and happy to happy with any request you have. We all love great food and having a chef on this trip were curious about the level and quality the food would be. Tello is seriously an amazing chef who will meet every request you could possibly have! His Red Snapper was the best we have ever had!! I highly encourage you to give him a little free reign in the food choice....he wont do you wrong!
The house itself is just beautiful!! Not a bad room! There are many different levels and lots of stairs so come knowing you will be doing stairs to get up and down to different levels of living and entertaining. The pools here are amazing. The infinity pool over looking the cliff was our favorite place to hang out all afternoon and watch the sun set.
Getting down to the beach from the Funicluar is fast and easy and so relaxing! There is no extra cost to use this.
Agnes is an amazing super host and makes sure that every need we have is met! We are so excited to come back again! Thank you from Minnesota!!

Our stay was absolutely amazing. Tello, Juanita and Claudia are the sweetest people. Took wonderful care of us. Tello's food is delicious! We only went out for dinner twice and lunch once really to give them a break from us! Tello fed us 3 amazing meals a day at the times we requested. Just give him an idea of what foods you like and let him plan your meals. He will not disappoint. His beef tenderloin bolognese, fish. fajitas, vegetables, eggs ranchero, potatoes, bacon, fresh guacamole, pico, beans.......etc...lol.... are amazing! He picked up our food and alcohol whenever we needed and presented a precise list of cost with receipts. So easy!
The house is amazing! We had 5 couples with us and each were very satisfied with rooms. Lots of steps LOL. The house is on 6 amazing levels with stairs. Your legs will get a very needed workout!
The private gondola down to the pool hanging off the cliff is an unexpected treat and the shared gondola down to the beach is just steps away from your private door. The view from your common area with dining and pool is amazing!
We all agreed it was the best trip we've ever taken. The house and staff will not disappoint! We've already booked our trip for next year. Thank you Tello, Juanita, Claudia, and Agnes!!
It was beautiful!

Fantastic Vacation
We had an amazing week at this gorgeous villa! There is so much room and each room is decorated right out of a 5 star boutique hotel. On top of that, Chef Tello is truly a 5 star chef. We loved every meal which was presented so beautifully. This was a true vacation in every way. My husband and I loved the Shalimar suite with our private dipping pool and outside lounge.
The beach is great... loved going down there for a swim and then returning to house for lunch and swimming...
We hope to return soon!

BEST PLACE EVER!!
This is one of the most stunning places I’ve been too. It was our second visit to this home. We enjoyed it more the second time as we were more in tune with program. Tello and his assistant’s are wonderful. The cooking was fabulous. There isn’t a need to go out for dinner. They pay attention to all the details and work hard at making sure your stay is the best it can be. Be sure to ask about the cooking tour! It was a lot of fun and a great experience.

Best Ever!!!
We (5 couples) recently completed our stay at Casa Del Sol and can only describe it as incredible. All of us have travelled frequently and all agree that this is the best accommodation/location/vacation we have ever had. The only thing better than the property was the people. Tello, Juanita and Claudia looked after our every need and we quickly turned over the menu to Tello and just let him prepare his choices. They were all spectacular! So much so that we never left the villa for any dinners, perfection is hard to beat! We are already planning our return trip next year so thank you so much Agnes, Tello, Juanita (loved your T-Shirts) and Claudia.
