First class all the way! Jason, the staff and the Amara community of owners, all made the experience one of the best we have ever had. Casa Nova is as good as it gets. Thanks Jason , from all of us for a truly wonderful experience!

This is our second time staying at Amara in this condo. The unit itself is amazing. As soon as you walk in the glass wall from floor to ceiling takes your breath away. The view of the ocean is spectacular! The deck is large and comfortable with a table for 4 to eat and 2 rocking/lounge chairs, a couch and a table. We spent a lot of time on the deck in the morning and again at night. The bedrooms are large and the beds are sooooooo comfortable! I like the mattress in this unit better than my mattress at home! The bathrooms are beautiful and nice sized for a family. We are a family of 4 and only used 3 of the bedrooms and bathrooms. We bought groceries and cooked all of our breakfasts and lunches and then went out to dinner every night. The location is second to none! We could walk everywhere! The pool and beach is beautiful! Many times during our stay we were the only ones in the pool! Jason has a closet full of pool floats, boogie boards and comfy cushions for the beach or pool chairs. The kitchen is well stocked. I can't think of a single thing that is needed for a small or large group! The washer and dryer was used every night for the beach towels. It was so nice to throw in a couple of loads of clothing the morning before our departure! We hope to be back a third time next year to experience all that Ixtapa has to offer! Don't hesitate to book this unit! It is lovely in every way! Thanks so much Jason for checking on us several times to make sure everything was in order!! You are wonderful to work with! Until next year...

What you see is what you get! The view is breathtaking! We had 3 couples in our group and we had plenty of personal space. Having a bathroom with each bedroom was perfect. Very clean and comfortable. The property manager was very helpful and responded quickly when contacted. Having access to little shops, restaurants and bars in walking distance was key. Tasty food and great atmosphere where ever we went. I would recommend this property to friends and family members. The owner also checked in on us to make sure everything was going well which was a nice touch. Shows he truly cares about his property and how we were being treated. We would recommend the Blue Shrimp for their Mojitos and melted cheese with Chorizo....Yum!! Also recommend reserving to have a cook come into your condo and cook meals. That was delicious!! We hope to be back to visit in the future! Thanks again for having us!

We had the pleasure of staying at Casa Nova for a week with our 2 sons and their families. The first day we arrived, Eddy, one of the security guards, had some baby sea turtles the grandkids were able to help release. What an awesome experience for them! The casa had plenty of room for our family of 9. The kids had plenty of room to play. The kitchen was well equipped, the beds were all very comfie, and the views were breathtaking! A bonus were all the beach toys and pool toys that were there for our use. Jason, the owner was super easy to contact and answered any and all of my millions of questions right away. Claudia, the property manager was also available whenever we needed anything, If you are looking for a great place for a family vacation, I highly recommend Casa Nova. Thanks for sharing your piece of paradise with us. We will cherish the memories😎�👍�🏼�!

We really enjoyed our stay at the Amara. Jason was great to work with and responded quickly to our inquiries. He gave us a lot of information about the condo and local area. The condo was very clean and very comfortable. It had everything you needed for our stay. This was our 5th time to stay at the Amara and have never been disappointed. The staff is very accommodating and friendly. It is a very secure building and we always feel safe when there and out shopping and eating at all the wonderful restaurants. We enjoyed just relaxing on the beach and enjoyed the beautiful sunsets. Can't wait to get back to Ixtapa!

We are very Grateful for the experience we had at this very fine well equipped Condo!! The pools were quiet and the people were so sweet to us. The sunsets were breathtaking. The beaches are one of the best we have seen in Mexico and we have seen many. Easy access to groceries. Condo has main necessities which is so nice. Close to great eating resteraunts and shopping. Lots to do or easy to just relax and rest. We definitely hope to come back...Jason and Claudia were so very helpful with everything we needed. Great Memories made :). Thank You.

Our family including four grandchildren loved every part of the Amara and particularly Jason’s condo. It is fully equipped right down to boogie boards & snorkel equipment. We were blown away by the full wall of patio doors (18’ approx) which open fully - we had them open from morning til night enjoying the sounds of the ocean as well as the ocean breezes and spectacular views. With the front door open the cross ventilation was so perfect we didn’t even turn on the AC in the main living area -in spite of it being 31c every day for the 12 days we were there - with only two units on our floor both units left their front door open with no worries. The balcony was an extension of the spacious living room. The kitchen appliances are top notch as well as the en-suite washer/dryer. We used Jason’s very detailed rental information booklet - Mario the taxi driver was fabulous taking us into Zihua for shopping , restaurant at Playa la Ropa and the airport and also hooking us up with an ocean cruiser for fishing & snorkeling. If you enjoy cooking do go to the Mercado Central in Zihua - the produce, seafood & meats were so fresh & reasonably priced - for a mini Costco type store -MEGA Soriana where you can buy pop & snacks as well as full array of anything else. The Playa Palmar beach is one of the best we have been on in Mexico - beautifully clean, gorgeous sand & it’s over two km long - perfect for early morning walks The vendors on the beach were few & not bothersome. We loved walking a few blocks away for gelato after dinner. Lots of good restaurants & fun shopping. One of the best holidays we’ve had & we all felt perfectly safe. Highly recommend this condo!

This was our first VRBO stay of any kind. The Amara is an incredible property with stunning views, proximity to restaurants and great amenities. The condo was clean, comfortably furnished and had everything we needed (including a washer and dryer!). I’m my opinion, one of the perks of being on vacation is being served...drinks by the pool, beds made daily, etc. If you’re willing to forego that perk, The Amara in Ixtapa is one of the best properties we’ve stayed at in Mexico. I should mention that cooking and cleaning service (including laundry) is available for a separate fee. Jason (owner) was a delight to work with and even checked in with us while we were there to make sure everything was going well. We visited during Holy Week and the beach was busy at times and the condo enforced the 2 chairs per condo rule. We were traveling as a group of 5, but could have easily fit 10 in the condo...something to consider if you are traveling with a large group and would expect lounge chairs for everyone in your group.

I would highly recommend the Casa Nova property and would stay again. You can't go wrong with the location and the amazing view! Jason was great to work with and provided a lot of information/recommendations on things to do and where to go in the area. The local staff, Helena and Claudia, were very helpful while in MX. Mario was a great cab driver and hooked us up with a fishing boat and we hired him to give us a 3-hour tour of the city. The accommodations were very nice and representative of the pictures provided. The only exception to picture representation would be the bedroom off the kitchen. The washer and dryer are located in this room, there is no view, and the bathroom is extremely small. Still a workable bedroom, it's not like you spend a lot of waking hours in there with the incredible view off the balcony! The location was ideal for shopping, eating, and walking the beach. You can catch a cab right outside the premises or a bus across the street. The only complaint would be about the pool rules and bar. You could only be in the pool with a drink on one edge of the pool. There was a security guard making sure you didn't go too far from that one edge of the pool with your drink. Our group of 10 were primarily beer drinkers and the bar ran out of beer daily (sometimes multiple times a day). I think they went across the street to buy more because it was usually on the warm side when the came back to restock.

We just returned from a 7 day vacation at Casa Nova. The condo was perfect for the 2 families of all ages that used it. Everything you could need was there. We ate out most meals but it was nice to have the kitchen for snacks or a light breakfast. The beds were super comfortable which is not that common in Mexico. The pool and the grounds were immaculate. The property had an interesting mix of owners, long-term and short-term renters. The people of Ixtapa / Zhua were as charming and gracious as always. Restaurants and shops were nice and busy. We did not hear noise from across the street, only distant noise from the hotels next door when they were having their fiestas and it was over shortly after 10pm and not bothersome at all. We will definitely return to Casa Nova, hopefully for longer than 7 days next time. Jason was great to work with.

We stayed as Casa Nova this time for our yearly trip to Ixtapa. We had 4 Adults and 2 Kids (12,7) and were there for 7 days. As usual, the Amara Condos were fantastic. The grounds, pool, palapa bar were all kept exceptionally well. As for Jason's Condo, it was fantastic. We had plenty of room and had every necessity we could need. It was super clean and tidy. He had everything ready for us upon arrival. There was even some cold beers in the fridge! My boys were sooo excited he had an xbox in the living room. It kept them busy during the evenings after all of the swimming they did. The adults would sit on the patio at night and play cards and listen to the ocean. Overall we had an amazing stay. The beds were soooo comfy! Everyone in our party slept like babies every night. It is really nice to have Jason's Condo have 3 king Suites so you can travel with larger parties and everyone has a king bed and there own bathroom. We will definitely be back again and hope to stay at Casa Nova again. It is really easy working with Jason on the booking. He even checks in often to make sure you are truly enjoying yourselves. If anyone is hesitant about going to Ixtapa and staying at Casa Nova, don't be. Its worth every penny. Thanks Jason for the great stay!

We had a wonderful time in Ixtapa! The weather was great and the condo was superb. The location of your condo is great, close to all the restaurants and in the middle of the beach. (we walked the beach everyday) The waves didn’t seem as big in front of the Amara as some of the other hotels and the sand beach was much wider. There were 9 of us and we had lots of room, the beds were comfortable and it was great having all the bathrooms. We didn’t do much cooking but was great having a dishwasher for the numerous glasses we used and the fridge to keep the beer cold! The washer and dryer were a bonus especially after the quad tour. Everyone had such fun on that trip but were fairly dirty. (their tans washed off) We spent a lot of time on the deck in the evening when the sun went down, it was great having the comfy couch and chairs  Thank you so much from all of us for sharing your condo with us! We hope we are able to go again one day! The Crozon and Ogren Families

We spent a week at this amazing condo with our family from Canada and had family from Mexico City for a few days. We were all so impressed with the condo, the building, the grounds, the pool and the staff. We are frequent renters, actually came to Amara after three weeks at another condo on the beach. We needed more room for family and Amara was above expectations. Jason is an amazing owner to deal with and equips the condo as if it were his home. Nothing needed that can't be found in the condo. The beds were so comfortable and everyone agreed on that fact. The clubs across the street were not a noise concern. Our one year old grand daughter loved the pools, she slept on lounges poolside for naps. The pool is so relaxing and beautiful. We will return to Amara but only to Jason's.

The time we spent in this unit was amazing! Very friendly for all ages from tiny kids to adults. This unit is amazing with view of the town of ixtapa and looking out at the beach. Being able to take in the breathtaking sunset every night tops it all off. The space is truly amazing and everyone who goes to ixtapa should stay in amara and this unit is a perfect fit. Thanks for letting us enjoy your property and we will defiantly be back!

What you see (on-line) is exactly what you get! A well appointed luxury condo overlooking impeccably maintained grounds and pools with a spectacular view of the beach and ocean. The staff at the complex are all very friendly and helpful. Our group was 3 couples; the condo had plenty of space for us to relax and enjoy each other's company as well as comfortable bedrooms, each with their own bathroom. We had a woman come in and cook for us on two occasions. It was like being in your own private restaurant with the comforts of home. Prior to our trip, Jason provided us with information on getting a taxi at the airport, instructions for the electronic lock (this was great - no keys to worry about!), the condo's locker and things to do and see in the area. The condo is situated across the street from shopping, restaurants, markets and groceries - everything within easy walking distance. We hope to have the opportunity to stay there again.

We came to Ixtapa to celebrate my Husband's 50th Birthday and didn't want to leave! Our party included eight adults and two children. There was plenty of room for everyone to enjoy privacy, but we also had plenty of space to gather for dinner, games, or just sitting on the deck enjoying the perfect view of the beach. The condo was clean, quiet and the entire property inside and out had the same inviting and relaxing feel about it. Each bedroom had it's own bathroom which is great if you're traveling with a large party. This unit also had a storage space filled with every pool/beach toy imaginable, so don't bother packing or purchasing any of these items when they are already provided and in great condition. Take advantage of the boogie boards on the beach, you will not regret it since the water is warm and the surf is great. Our routine included nightly walks to the gelatto stand next to the small grocery store across the street. Once you are off the grounds just head to the right and look for the silver chairs in front of the gelatto stand and treat yourself to some of the best dessert in town. Please do not hesitate to have Mario drive you anywhere you need to go. He keeps his taxi right in front of the gate, and I would recommend you travel with him. We basically hired him for the week and was well worth the money we spent. He is friendly, knows alot of great places to eat, and beaches to explore that aren't packed with tourists. Mario was one of the highlights of our trip, and if you get to know him, you'll feel the same way too! Overall this property was more than we could have imagined.The owner Jason was very easy to work with, in addition to our contact person Claudia who welcomed us in Ixtapa and was very helpful throughout our stay. We are already planning our return trip with another stay at this gorgeous property!

If you are looking to spend a week or two is what is surely one of the most beautiful places, go to Amara in Ixtapa. The Condo was very clean, quiet and has all the comforts of home, but in paradise. Very close to shopping, some great restaurants and located on one of the best beaches you could hope for. The information package we received answered all our questions and made our stay feel like we had been there many times before. Some of the attractions that were recommended to us that we would recommend is going to Ixtapa Island, para-sailing, jet skiing, fishing and a lot of great local markets with products from small hand made Mexican trinkets to world famous clothing stores. I would recommend this property to family and friends. Whether travelling with children or a romantic get-away Amara in Ixtapa has it all. Thanks for letting us rent your property, we will be back.

A group of 8 old friends rented this unit for a week. The 4 bedrooms accommodated us nicely. We were very happy with the 10th floor view of the ocean and the great location basically in the middle of the main drag through Ixtpa. It's a nice walk to either end of the beautiful beach. Great places to eat are an easy walk away as well. The condo is also a very comfortable place to relax when you need a break from the sun. We're going back when we have the chance!

We couldn't have been happier, Ixtapa itself is beautiful (and safe), the view from the condo is amazing. Jason was very helpful with all his tips for the area. The staff was very helpful, the amenities were great and clean. Amazing beach, the best I've seen in Mexico. Jason's property manager Claudia is excellent, a quick email and you can have a cook arranged to come in and cook anything you like, or you can have a chiropractor or a masseuse come right to the condo! The condo itself is luxurious and easily accommodated the 4 couples in our group. I've been talking it up to my friends and I think several of them will be looking into it.

We stayed in the condo from Feb 18 - 25. There were 2 families including 4 teenage girls. It was absolutely beautiful. The major bonuses were the 4 bathrooms, amazing view from the patio, cleanliness of entire property and proximety to restaurants, grocery, etc. The beach was great for walking each morning. Can't wait to go back soon!!!

The MOST beautiful place....Accommodations were fabulous. Our 4th year at this property and would go back tomorrow...Love it Love it !!!!

Your unit was perfect for my family and friends! It had all the ammenities we needed and then some. We especially loved the comfortable beds and bedding. The kids loved having their own rooms and TV's and we all appreciated the private WiFi available in the unit. Your property manager was great help - She met with us when we arrived and showed us how the electronic door lock worked. We also liked the information brochure your provided us - it really came in handy preparing us for the airport and avoiding the timeshare traps. We will definately be back and I will recommend it to all my friends. Thanks.
