About this property

Gorgeous Playa La Ropa Condo with Stunning Views just Steps from the Sand

Preciosa on the Bay is Zihuatanejo's most luxurious resort condo building. Located just up the hill from Playa la Ropa, the sand is less than a five minute walk away. Or simply relax in the infinity pool and gaze out across the stunning view of the bay. The 2000sqft condo has every amenity and convenience at your fingertips.

The 500sqft balcony is a perfect place to watch the sun set over the bay, or see the fish jumping as they feed in morning light. It has a wet bar, gas grill, and outdoor kitchenette, making it a great spot for small gatherings.

The condo is set up perfectly so that you can see the panoramic views from any room in the house. It has a large master bedroom with a king size bed, private bath, and walk in closet. The second bedroom has one queen size bed and one single, with a shared bath. Located off the terrace is a bonus room with large couches, TV, and a view of the bay.

All the rooms are spacious and have a very wide open feel. The kitchen is roomy and modern, and all cookware is provided. The tap water is filtered and drinking water is provided by the building in 5 gallon bottles so no need to buy bottled water. All plugs are American/Canadian style so no need for adapters. The in house washer and dryer add convenience as well.

There is high speed wireless internet, and free calling to the US, Canada, and Mexico. This is really ideal for working vacations, or just keeping in touch in case someone needs you. Located in the living room is a 2017 Samsung smart TV, so you can watch Hulu, Netflix, YouTube, and others.

There is a manager onsite who speaks excellent English. She is there not only to assist with the condo itself, but she can help you arrange massages, a private chef at the condo, watersports, or just answer any questions you may have about Zihuatanejo. The building only has 10 units, and is always very relaxed.

Renting a car is not necessary; the beach is a less than 5 minute walk, as well as numerous restaurants. Taxis are numerous as well as inexpensive. If you do choose to rent a car, we have an off street parking spot for it.

The beach at Playa La Ropa is nice fine white sand. Some of the local restaurants have hammocks and tables on the sand, and it's very well accepted to spend your entire day there while ordering a couple of beers and chips with guacamole. The protected nature of the bay means that it's always calm at Playa la Ropa, and perfect for swimming.

However, a short distance outside of Zihuatanejo Bay, the shore is exposed to open ocean and world class surfing can be found. For those inclined towards fishing, tuna, marlin, mahi mahi, and wahoo are commonly caught, but Zihuatanejo is most well known as a world class destination for sailfish. In the winter months, when the bite is hot, it's not uncommon for boats to tag and release 12-15 sailfish per day.

Not as Described

Before I start this review, I have reached out to the owner. I tried once again before writing this review, but he has since deleted my messages. I do however have a copy of the owners response where he states he will extend a discount. We checked in December 28 for a total of 28 days. After 6 days the dryer quit working, it took 15 days to get a new dryer. Absolutely unacceptable. This is not what we paid for. The condo states it sleeps 6, however there are inadequate supplies for 6 people. We had to resort to hanging clothes all over the patio area to dry. Our beach towels were never dry by the next morning. Here are a list of deficiencies and complaints:1. Filthy bathroom mats2. A total of two dish towels3. Insufficient number of beach towels4. No toilet paper5. Fans not working properly6. Remotes dead batteries7. Shower did not drain 8. Pillows cheap and lumpy9. No extra paper towels10. Lights burnt out11. Cockroaches in the bathroom12. Bedside lamps caked in dustI have photos, not sure if they can be uploaded onto VRBO. The owner of this condo is not interested in making his guests happy or comfortable. The staff that work the property are exceptional. I have documentation, photos and proof of what I have described here.

A beautiful view, up the la ropa hill

We stayed here with friends, a kid age 13. I think that it’s not a great place for little kids because the pool is right outside of everyone’s rooms, it seemed like maybe the noise would travel up but we never saw any other kids. The staff was super kind and helpful and called a cab for us or brought us water many many times. The walk to La Ropa beach is downhill, the walk back is a great workout. The place was beautiful and we used the sunroom as a 3rd bedroom. The only thing to note is the two main bedrooms only have Slatted screens between the rooms and the living space so noise does transfer between the spaces. Luckily our group all went to sleep at the same time but this might be a consideration if you want more privacy.

Fantastic views Great location

This place was a beautiful as it showed on VRBO. Great location, pool with fantastic view of the bay. The only downside was the many stairs leading up from the road. A couple times even the taxi couldn't make it up the drive. The condo itself could use some needed updating, especially the wall outlets as some where loose and almost coming out of the wall and maybe new linen as our room had stains on the bedding. But overall 4 of us had a great vacation, my wife and I would definitely return.

Outstanding Location!

The location and view of this property are outstanding. We probably spent 90% of our time on the large patio enjoying the view of the bay. It is also close to many restaurants and La Ropa beach. The on site staff are very friendly and helpful. Always willing to call a cab or provide some help with your groceries. The negative edge pool provided a pleasant experience during periods without specific plans. The host Jack was very responsive to any questions we had. Very positive experience!

Preciosa is a beautiful property with an outstanding staff. The view from the terrace is gorgeous. The condo could be refreshed/ updated for a 5 star review. The water pressure is great, I was a little worried with it being on the 4 th floor, but it was good and the water heated up quickly. The washer and dryer worked great as well. This is a wonderful location with a nice walk to the beach and town.

Breath Taking Views

The unit is stunning and the views even more so. The space is great for groups. The beds are comfortable. The outdoor space is perfect The pool incredible. It’s very quiet. There were towels for the pool/beach The location decent. It was a 10-15 min walk down the steep road to get to the beach. The walk up was exhausting. There are taxis available to take you back up. Also the walk to town or decent restaurants was a little far. We cabbed everywhere. It’s not for the moblility challenged.

Zihua relax from on top of the hill

We had a wonderful time and the property was nice and quiet. Two property cats, gato and salsa, were fun to interact with especially salsa who likes to ride the elevator! I do have to say that renting a car was key to our enjoyment as it allowed us to get around easily to different areas as well as the beaches. Parking is easy as long as you are fine with driving in Mexico. The unit sits up on the hills and to get anywhere it’s a hike — home is all uphill. With older people or young ones, this might be a consideration. You are not right on the beach. Beautiful view of Zihua from the deck and a bonus room so if you wake up early you can chill in there if it’s too humid on the deck as others sleep. Enjoy.

Great condo, loved our stay

We have traveled to Playa Ropa several times and loved this condo, the view was fantastic, the condo was large and spacious. Although an older building it was well kept. The staff was helpful and accommodating. We really like the location of building, it was a 10 minute walk to the beach and 15 minutes into town. The pool is lovely and had it mostly to ourselves.

Lovely, spacious condo with spectacular views and a great location. We loved it!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this beautiful condo. It is conveniently located - just a 15 minute walk to the central area of Zihuat (which we walked to every morning) and a short walk to La Ropa beach. It is also just a 5 minute walk to several great restaurants. We loved the condo’s huge, very private, deck area with fabulous views and we also enjoyed the pool area, where we were often the only people by the pool. The condo was very spacious, clean and well equipped (perfect for our group of 4) and it was really nice to have our own washer/dryer in the unit. We would definitely stay here again.

Wonderful stay!

This is a great condo in an amazing location, really clean, comfortable and the views were spectacular from the large patio (we spent a lot of time after dinners sipping wine and staring at the views!). We could walk pretty much everywhere we wanted to go, La Ropa beach was beautiful and the closest, took about 10 min to get to the beach bars where you can rent chairs for the day with drink and food service. Zihua was definitely the nicest place I have been to in Mexico, felt very safe the whole time. Jack (the owner) was super helpful in recommending places to go and local restaurants- we ate really well! Would definitely recommend a stay at this place.

Tranquil, Friendly and Beautiful

The locals always say that Zihuatanejo is “tranquilo” (peaceful). They are so right. Every morning we woke up to a view from the patio of the Bay and Pacific. We even saw whales, from our patio, 3 times! The apartment is close to the best beach in Zihua. We walked to it every day. It is also close to town. We walked in a took a cab back. Cab cost - about $4 US. The apartment manager is always available via WhatsApp and responds within minutes. I could go on and on. Short version - it is perfect and tranquilo.

About the host

Hosted by Owner / Property Manager

Host profile image
Jack and Cami met at a museum in San Francisco in 2009, and tied the not in 2013. They live in the mountains above a small beach town on the central coast of California. He is from California,and she is from the Philippines, and raised in California. Together they sailed around the world for 2 years on a small sailboat. He enjoys fishing and spearfishing, she enjoys eating freshly caught fish. This year, they welcomed baby Sophie to family. She likes playing with her food, and eating her toys.

Why they chose this property

Sophie loves how warm and calm the pool and ocean are. Jack loves that Zihuatanejo is a world class destination for sailfish. Camille loves sitting in the hammock at La Perla. And all three love the local Mexican restaurants!

What makes this property unique

It's very debatable whether or not there is a better view anywhere in Zihuatanejo.
