Bella Vista--Spectacular Views of Zihua Bay from 1-BR Condo above Madera Beach

Zihuatanejo is located on a bay that has four beaches around it: Principal, La Madera, La Ropa, and Las Gatas. This condo is part of Bahia Suites, located on Playa La Madera,

It’s a one-bedroom unit on the second floor of the building that sleeps up to four (with a king bed in the bedroom plus two sofas in the living room that can be used as twin beds or easily pushed together to make a king-sized bed). It is open to the bay with no window or wall to obstruct the amazing view, although the master bedroom can be isolated with its air conditioning unit. The beach below is a great place for sunning, swimming, or getting something to eat.

Bahia Suites is on a hill above the beach. It has 24-hour security on duty and also has its own pool, shared by the ~20 units in the building.

Bahia Suites is close to the main part of town—a very walkable route along the bayfront or through the neighborhood. The immediate neighborhood has lots of cafes, some shops and a small grocery store. If you choose to walk to town, you’ll find the main market and many more shops and restaurants, as well as banks. There’s also a large complete grocery store, just like most of us are used to, and a Sam’s Club.

About Zihuatenejo
What we love about Zihuatanejo is that it still has the flavor of an old Mexican fishing village, but with the added attraction for visitors of many restaurants and places to hear live music.

For something a little different, you might enjoy participating in the release of baby sea turtles, or hiring a boat to cruise around the bay, go whale-watching, or fishing, or parasailing, or . . . The local people are warm and friendly and often go ‘above and beyond’ to make your visit wonderful.

We automatically offer a 10% discount on stays of 28 days or more.

Ok the hurricane missed Zihua but we didn’t know 12 hrs prior as the locals didn’t know either. We cancelled. Our hosts were supremely gracious. That’s all I’ll I’ll say we didn’t go, but we will be back!. Thank you so much guys. Bless Acapulco.

It's a beautiful condo. Perfect location. We have stayed in Zihuatanejo many times. We were looking for a new place that was quiet. The place we were staying got very busy. This condo was great! The building manager, Carmen, was very helpful. I plan on staying here again.

Great Location
My wife and I have been to Zihuatanejo many times over the last decade but had never stayed in the LaMadera neighborhood. We thourougly enjoyed the area with access to many resataurants all within walking distance as well as the close access to the beach. The views were wonderful from their open air condo and the bed ws comfortable. The Bahia Suites building is older as are all of teh buildings in LaMadera, but the sute has been nicely updated inside.

Perfect. Love Zihua!
As advertised. Amazing views. Lovely to sleep to the soothing sound of the ways. Air conditioning in bedroom worked perfectly. Pool was beautiful and usually uncrowded or empty. Easy access to Madera beach which is lovely. Nice to see Zihua has improved in the last 5 years - blue flag beaches, rebuilt sea wall, lighting upgrades along the malecon.

Sleeping with the sound of the ocean, love it!
This is a lovely place to stay. I would return in a heartbeat. It's well kept, beautifully furnished and has an open air view out to the bay over the beach. There is a pool for guests that also looks out over the beach and bay. The building is secure with a person on duty 24 hours a day who can call for cabs if you need one. The caretaker, Carmen was very helpful and the owners were great about communicating and answering questions. I can highly recommend it.

Nice Stay
This was a very nice condominium, close to everything in Zihua. Fabulous view of the bay. Adequately stocked with utensils, dishes, etc.... Susie (owner) was easy to contact and helpful. Carmen (the on-site manager) was also very good. There is on-site security and we felt safe here. We would definitely consider staying here again.

Fantastic view Excellent location
Beautiful view of the ocean, located within walking distance of dozens of great restaurants. 77 steps down to Madera beach. The unit itself could use a little updating but because of Covid and new owners a few things are lacking. Unfortunately while we were there there was construction in the building and on the street. The construction in the building finished the day after we left. We voiced our concerns to the owners regarding some deficiencies and the responded and dealt with them promptly. We would recommend this property and we will definitely return.

Awesome beachfront condo with view
Second time renting a vacation getaway condo in this Bahia Suites building. Property Manager Carmen on top of things and quickly responsive. Location is awesome, right near restaurant row, easy beach access (77 steps are good for you!), small grocery store just up the street, quick walk to downtown. Pool and grounds well maintained, 24 hour security guard. The view is, well, perfect! Can see the entire bay, some beach, palm trees... Spent alot of chill time in the units two rocking chairs at the open edge of the living room. (Like a covered balcony) enjoying the sound of the surf, birds... our zen. King size bed comfortable, kitchen was fine as we ate breakfast and some lunches in the unit. Bedroom AC was great and unit ceiling fans and ocean breeze was perfect. What would we change... Ok, the wall sconce lights were too bright at night for our liking, a couple lamps would have been nice, and there is only one lamp in the bedroom, made reading in bed a bit of a challenge. Also, a couple times there was an "odour" from the bathroom floor drain next to the toilet. We would definitely rent the unit again, and hope to do so when our next vacation time rolls around.

Perfect location for walking everywhere! View was spectacular. It was a little annoying that you had to be let in and out of locked gate by a security guard every time you went somewhere.

Killer view!
Where to start? The view is spectacular, condo well done, management very responsive (shout out to Carmen), and owners were so accommodating. We had a couple of issues (ours- work related), and Harry and Susie jumped in immediately to help, along with Carmen. We can't say enough good things about the owners. Neighborhood terrific- just a short walk to numerous excellent restaurants, to town or the pier for fishing, or down the stairs to the beach. We loved Zihua, and hope to be back soon.

We can't wait to come back to this beautiful place!
We had an incredible 10 day stay in Zihuantanejo over the holiday break, and this condo is truly one of the reasons it was so incredible. As beautiful as they are, the pictures don't do this place justice. When you first walk in, the view takes your breath away, and that feeling never disappears (as a side note, we were trying to decide where to watch fireworks on NYE and then we realized-- we already have the best view in town!). The location is FANTASTIC-- right in the heart of some great restaurants, the beach, and downtown, but separate enough to be peaceful. The pool is a gorgeous place to spend some quiet time, and the enclosed bedroom with AC ensures comfortable rest in between days of fun. The building is clean and well-maintained with friendly 24-hour security, and Carmen is so kind, helpful, and knowledgeable. I could go on and on-- we loved our stay here and can't wait to come back!
