The location is great, an easy bus ride or walk into Ixtapa. The pool and grounds were beautiful and not crowded at all, no putting a towel on your chair at 6am. The condo itself is nice , but a little run down. The beds are very hard if you have a hard time with that. Zule was AMAZING!! Her cooking was the best meals we had while in Ixtapa!

A very quiet place, private, safe and very nice. My family and I enjoyed a very good vacation mainly because of the tranquility that feels in the atmosphere. Perfect to rest and enjoy excellent sunsets and family moments. Zule is always very attentive. A place I'm sure to go back to. Recommended!

This is the second time we've stayed in these villas, and it's always a pleasure to be here. In addition, the lady who helps with the cleaning also provides the breakfast and food preparation service: with a spectacular flavor and very well served! Looking forward to seeing you soon, we will gladly return here always with the family!

Definitely a beautiful place to spend time as a family, walking distance to the beach and the delicious beach, there are palapas and you can take the beach chairs that are in the house and lounge chairs give you 2 per house per house. Very well ventilated, with all the amenities and what is necessary to cook and Zule's service is incredible, she was always attentive and very willingly available. this end of the marina so it is very quiet and the beach is pra ti solo 🥰 Definitely a beautiful experience

It is already twice that we stayed with Raul and the excellent truth is his house, a quiet place with a beach and pool. My children had a luxury time. The attention of Zule is not told, preparing delicious lunches and a delicious meal with the seasoning of the seafood and fish of Costa, the place is always clean and tidy. We will enjoy the sea and the facilities at 100, we will return. Thank you.

Playa Iguana is a gorgeous place for a peaceful beach vacation. The villa is facing the pool area and steps from the beach where you can reserve cabanas each day. The villa was very comfortable and spacious. Zule came and cleaned 3x a week which we really appreciated. The beds and big and comfortable. A few downsides: the kitchen is a bit run down (but it’s fully stocked and everything works so imo not a huge deal), there’s no wifi upstairs, and the hot water in the showers doesn’t last super long. But Raul is extremely responsive and tried to remedy the wifi situation when I brought it to his attention. He also helped us deal with some rowdy guests in a neighboring villa when they weren’t following the complex’s rules. Overall I would recommend this villa because the location is incredible, the staff are extremely friendly, and the villa is huge and comfortable.

When we arrived we were greeted by Zule the care taker of the house who seemed friendly enough and with the help of phone translator we were able to agree that we'd contact her if we needed any of her services. After seeing the state of the house we decided to not use her services. Every utensil we picked up had food residue on it. How can I trust this person to cook for me? She followed up with us several times but we were sick and definitely wouldn't want to pass the illness to her so we declined. She didn't seem to take the news well and it was quite an awkward conversation. From the airbnb post I understood her services could be added if we wished but it was almost an expectation and being in that situation was stressful. I agree with a previous guest - I think the wording of the airbnb post needs to be changed to say that her services are mandatory and not optional. On top of this negative experience the house needs major maintenance because there is lots of mold and its dirty. Upon check in we saw the safe locked up and messaged Raul to ask how to get it opened. He said Zule will come the following morning with the key. No one came and no one followed up. Terrible communication. We left it as at this point we were sick and weren't leaving the house anyways. We also asked Raul to check out an hour later and he declined saying he has guests checking in after us. That was a lie as his calendar was clear. I suspect this was because we didn't use Zules services. On the positive- the common grounds are beautiful and so is the pool and beach. Waves are always strong so you'd need to be a strong swimmer to get into the water. The area is safe and we liked walking about there. A decent grocery store is a 15 minute drive but there are restaurants nearby at the marina. Also the wifi is non existent in upstairs bedrooms. You must be the living room to use it.

The best thing about this place is Zule, her cleaning, and her cooking! It was amazing and we loved it. As other people said the water pressure is great. The beds are on the firmer side, but I think that is to be expected when traveling anywhere abroad, and we all slept comfortably. The pool here is amazing and so pretty. It is a very pretty location and right on the beach. As stated in the reviews, the surf can be rough in most areas in Ixtapa and is only suitable for swimming at certain times and only if you are a strong swimmer. We enjoyed the airbnb very much and would stay here again.

We were very happy with the house, it has an excellent location and its facilities are as shown by your photographs, the place where it is located has a lot of tranquility and security, it is an excellent place to rest as a family since it has privacy necessary to be able to be comfortable, it complies with everything the host offers in its listing, we hope to return soon 👌

We loved our stay, the house has a great location with direct beach access. This part of the beach is very quiet, with very few people and next to the Marina. The pool is very large and has a pleasant temperature. Very good service from Zule, she cooked us breakfast and lunch every day, highly recommended! The house is well equipped, we were very comfortable and any issues get fixed quickly. We hope to be back soon!

We really enjoyed our stay at the house. The condo is very nice, the service from Zule and all the staff is excellent. It is a 100 meter walk along the beach to the Marina. The pool is very large and the spaces for children are very good. It's a place we'd definitely go back to.

It's a nice house and a very quiet condominium. The pool and the maintenance in general are good. The ocean in that area is not suitable for swimming or floating. It's deep, and there are currents and strong waves, but the beach is very clean and well maintained. We had some complications with cleaning the whites in the house, and the laundry center cannot be used by guests. Overall, we had a pleasant stay! All staff are very friendly.

Highly recommended. An excellent place for a family vacation. The condo is very quiet for families. It was excellent because the noise rules are strict and you can rest. The location is perfect and the staff is very helpful and friendly. Zule cooks well, Ray the lifeguard is super careful with the kids and friendly, and the guards are too. The beach is a short walk away, and the pool is amazing and very nice sized. The house comes with everything you need. The internet is a little slow. We will definitely be back!!!

Why I recommend this villa: - Zule, the person who checks you in and helps with cleaning, is very friendly. The food is delicious and at a very reasonable price. It's really a mistake not to hire Zule to support breakfasts and meals. - The apartment has an acceptable price. The value for money is right; you'll be happy with the money you paid. -THE location is very good, close to convenient shops, the pool and beach are in front of the villa. - They are doing an upgrade; soon they will have a new kitchen and fiber-optic internet, which makes the value for money even better.

A very cozy, spacious house, very quiet atmosphere if you are going to rent the house to rest, since you can't play music either in the pools or in the house, consider that the cleaning lady stays in the house for a long time and takes away privacy. But in general everything was very good, a very nice vacation

I can’t say enough about Raul’s AMAZING villa! The villa itself is absolutely stunning! The grounds and amenities are spectacular, with so much dedication from the grounds keeper(s). The location is perfect, and a nice walk to the main strip where there are many restaurants, pharmacies, and local shops. Zihuatanejo is a short cab or bus ride away. If you are wanting to go into Zihua, if you are not in a rush, we found the bus the “best bang for our buck”. Best produce will be found at the Municipal market in downtown Zihua. If you are wanting fresh fish or shrimp, head to the pier early in the am. Zule, who cares for the villa, (so much beyond a housekeeper) is one of the most amazing people you will ever meet. Take some time to get to know her. She will lighten up your life. We arrived to beautiful flowers on the steps, on the beds, on the tables as well as swan towels and everything was immaculate. She took time to show us everything and where things were, made sure we could get on WiFi, where to get more drinking water, introduced us to security, etc. Nothing was left out. Then there are her meals. AMAZING doesn’t even begin to cut it. She loves to cook and is happy to make whatever you would like. She asked for money needed for groceries and even handles all of the shopping for what she cooks and does so on a small budget. But the food couldn’t be better. Breakfast, Lunch or Dinner (early as she has a husband to get home to) we’re all excellent. We invited her to dine with us and she taught us so much about Mexican cooking. She is a true gem. She sees what is needed before we needed it and always took incredible care of us. We look forward to coming back for a future vacation in Rauls villa, and spending much more time with Zule!

We rented Rauls condo for a month. Raul is very responsive and gets back to you quickly The condo has excellent security at both front and beach side entrances. We all enjoyed the wonderful pool and the outdoor pool area was very well kept. The bedrooms are very spacious with lots of storage. There is lots of space and the 6 of us did not feel crowded at all. The buses and taxis are just outside the gates to take you to the many restaurants and a short ride to Zihuatanejo. We enjoyed our stay. We would definitely rent this condo if we returned to Ixtapa. Thank you Raul

The description of the property is very accurate. The pool and beach are beautiful and the people are very nice. Speaking Spanish or at least knowing how to use your google translate app would be helpful. Zule is a great cook and very nice. The stores and restaurants are an easy walk (maybe a mile). We stayed 2 weeks and loved every minute.

Great place and the location is fantastic. Very secure and private and walkable to several nice restaurants. The housekeeper Zule is fantabulous and will cook breakfast for you for a nominal sum if you ask. Beach is very nice and quiet but not recommended for swimming in August because of wave breaks and undertow but the pool is one of the nicest I've seen and right next to the beach so best of both worlds. Highly recommend this place
