Great host, great location, great stay!
Julian is an excellent host, kind, communicative with a great sense of humor. We enjoyed our conversations with him almost as much as our time on the beach. Like the listing said it's a short walk to the beach. We love Playa la Rosa and look forward to our next visit.

Great location close to La Ropa beach
Julian is an amazing host! He offered us a taxi ride from/to the airport at a very reasonable price. He was always there full of answers and advice from our questions. The location is the best!! very close to La Ropa Beach, the pickleball courts, lots of good restaurants and we actually walked into town a few times instead of taking public transport that was stopping right in front of tghe casita. We didn't do any cooking because of our love for eating out. A beautiful fruit basket and a big jug of water greated us.Thank you so much Julian for making out stay enjoyable!

Paradise on Playa La Ropa
My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at El Escondite, a brief walk along a flat paved road to our favourite beach in the world. Julian is a gracious, attentive and kind host who ensured our stay was easy and comfortable. He prepared a magnificent fruit bowl for our arrival which we enjoyed for several days and was always available to answer questions and make suggestions. He is environmentally conscious and has a great sense of humour too, which always helps.

Great Location
Enjoyed our stay at this casita. Great hosts, they went out of their way to help. The location was perfect, the casita was a short walk to the beach and the bus stop was out front with an OXXO and beer stores across the road. Thank you Julian and Karim.

We can’t wait to come back!
Julian and Karim were ideal hosts. They had everything we needed upon arrival-including a ride from the airport for a small fee, a bowl of fruit in the apartment (which we devoured) and cold beverage ready in the fridge. The apartment was very comfortable and was such a short walk to the beach! The kitchen had everything we needed to cook at home and the private patio was the perfect place to enjoy our meals. There is everything you need with in walking distance of the casita but it was so easy to get downtown in minutes when we wanted to. I couldn’t believe the bus stop was literally out of the front door, so we could hop on a bus to town very easily when needed. The only thing I would have changed about the trip was to stay longer!

Hit the jackpot in La Ropa
Very enjoyable stay at this private little casita with its own patio and just a few minutes walk to a beautiful beach that is full of fun and activity.
The host picked us up at the airport for a token charge and introduced us later to the closest town with a walkabout with him and his wife. There was a huge tray of fruit on the counter and a jug of cold juice in the fridge. Excellent WiFi and lots of help with anything that we needed
Can’t say enough good about this facility and we have booked to go back at this same time next year.

Wonderful Experience
We enjoyed our stay in the one bedroom Casa. We could not ask for better hosts, Julian and Karim. They are very helpful and happy to assist in any way. We were welcomed with a beautiful flower arrangement, a basket overflowing with local fruit, and an icy cold pitcher of tamarindo drink in the fridge. We were invited to share some wonderful live salsa music and dancing at a nearby restaurant- what a blast ! Thank-you Karim and Carolline for being such a great dance partners.
The accommodation was simple yet functional and provided an equipped kitchen, air conditioning, comfortable bed and our own private outdoor patio for eating and relaxing. There is also a 2nd accommodation on site- a funky geodesic dome with outdoor kitchen- so check it out too!
Julian provides airport shuttle, for a reasonable fee, which made things stress-free; soon after arrival we were at the beach enjoying a gorgeous sunset and cold cervezas !
The location is very good- go for an EASY stroll to a wonderful swimming beach with snorkelling ( Playa La Ropa) , or right out front you can catch the local collective to take you into town. There are lots of beachside restaurants within walking distance plus many others a short drive away. There is a cold beer store and an OXXO ( convenience store) with good selection and prices- right across the road , so you don't have to lug your beer/wine too far!
The town of Zihuatenajo has bustling daily market which provides local produce, fresh seafood, and whatever else you might need. Enjoy walking the town and tourist district near the marina which includes a seawall that extends out to Playa La Ropa.
We look forward to returning again someday soon.

Escondite Sereno - Serene Hideout
En todas ocasiones, los anfitriones siempre están dispuestos
para ayudar, aconsejar y convivir. Siempre hay buena señal de internet por si es necesario. La cocina tiene todo lo necesario y de más. También fue muy conveniente que estuviera situado a unos metros de *dos* tienditas para surtir los pequeños mandados. El lugar es muy seguro, privado, limpio y cómodo. Esperamos no tardarnos mucho en regresar.
