Best Location on La Madera!

The property met all of our needs. Great security, perfect access to the beach and all of the shops and restaurants of Zihua. Plenty of on-site space for many guests. Leo was always available to ensure that guests received whatever they wanted or needed. Every time we needed transportation, food, drink or laundry, Leo was happy to accommodate. We would be happy to stay at this property again in the future.

Wonderful house and location

Just steps from the beach and a short walk into town. Our family of four loved hanging out at the pool - a great place to chill all day or base camp for short trips. Away from the busier beaches and town but everything is accessible when we wanted to go out and explore. Leo was hugely helpful with dining recommendations, taxis, and looking out for our crew. We would 100% come back. Do not miss the Pozole Verde at Santa Prisca Pozoleria on Thursdays.

The on-site manager Leo was off the charts GREAT! We loved the location! So close to town but quiet and so private once you enter the gate. The pool furniture could be updated. King beds would be so nice. We had Leo’s wife cook twice for us. She was a world class cook. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful home.

La Madera

We stayed here for 5 days. Great location. The kitchen wasn’t great, could use an update. The patio/ pool deck chairs should be up dated and upgraded , some are need of repair. As for the pool, I did not see it cleaned and the water was murky and warm. Found this place slightly disappointing for the price we paid. The view is beautiful though.

Checks all boxes!

Casa Arrullo has it all! The great location is superb and the views from almost every angle allow you to see all the beach action. And it is just a 3 minute walk to the heart of town. The entire property is so spacious, with an abundance of living area that is well-decorated in a traditional style. There is the huge palapa, tile and stone work, and beautiful linens and pillow-covers every where. And how wonderful the staff is cannot be over-stated. Leonardo knows everything and everybody about the area and is always more than willing to help with even the smallest detail. And Silvia is such a wonderful cook, we opted to eat most meals at the house. She is thoughtful in so many ways like fresh flowers everywhere and bedroom turn-down service. We felt pampered. And really lucky to have scored such a great spot.

A piece of Paradise in Zihuatanejo

Gaby, the owner was very responsive. Booking was easy. Casa Arrullo is located right on Playa La Madera. Easy access to the beach and close to many shops and restaurants in town. We really enjoyed our stay. It was quiet and very relaxing. The staff, Leo and Silvia, were welcoming and very attentive. Met us at checkin, took us shopping and makes fabulous Margaritas. Silvia is an amazing chef. She prepared us a dinner one night that was one of the best meals of our vacation. The house was clean and well appointed - a pool with a large thatched roof open living room on the top floor. The layout is good for extended families or two small families - two bungalows each with a queen room, two twins room and a sitting room - on the second floor. There are some steep stairs which may be an issue for people with mobility issues but for us it was perfect. It was a very enjoyable stay. We hope to return again soon. Thank you Gaby, Leo and Silvia!

A Perfect House for a Perfect Vacation

Our party of 6 (2 adults and 4 kids) had a wonderful time at Casa Arullo. The view from the house is spectacular, and the pictures don’t even do it justice! We were in awe every time we swam in the pool, ate breakfast, relaxed in bed, etc. The view is great no matter where you are in the house. Silvia and Leo were absolutely wonderful. Silvia cooked us 2 amazingly delicious dinners and breakfast every day. She was so sweet and always smiling. Leo went above and beyond and was friendly, helpful and communicative. He was there for anything we needed help with (he booked us jet skis, went to the market for us, helped us with dinner reservations, etc.). The nightly turn down service and general cleaning during the day was also a plus! The location of the house is great, right on Playa Madera and a short walk to the central downtown area. Also close to Playa La Ropa as well. Gaby was also super communicative and kind during the booking process and before our stay. We couldn’t recommend the house enough. Thank you for a perfect stay.

Incredible place, wonderful stay!

This place is truly paradise!!!! Our family of 8 (4 adults and 4 young adults) had a spectacular stay at this amazing home. The location is unbeatable, you are literally on a huge property overlooking the ocean, with your private swimming pool, huge gathering room, and air conditioned bedrooms. Steps away from one of the area beaches, near several others. Easy walk to town. The onsite staff is there to take care of your needs and they are wonderful. You are free to lounge about all day, or go and explore. The best food in town is made by your private chef, Sylvia. Leo, the caretaker, helps you with anything you can possibly need. The house, and area, have a wonderfully authentic Mexican look and feel, with a great palapa and beautiful design and furnishings. If that is what you are looking for, it's an amazing place. If you are looking for the "American resort" experience, its not for you. The only heads up before booking is that there is a somewhat steep ramp to get into the property, and a spiral staircase inside, so its not the best choice if you have mobility issues. So if you are looking for that truly amazing Mexican place, this is it! Highly recommend it!

Lovely spot for a family holiday

Wonderful house in a perfect location with a spectacular view. La Madera beach is a blue-flag beach and was spotlessly clean--two minutes walk from the house with a sandy bottom and small waves perfect for children. Caretaker and his family are attentive and helpful. We went shopping with Leo nearly every day at the public market as our family likes to cook and it's easier than taking a bunch of little kids to a restaurant. It's also a short walk to the Soriano grocery store and to liquor stores. Leo made coffee every morning from the owner's estate, which was wonderful. He also prepared a continental breakfast but it lacked variety. Lovely pool. Beds were comfortable and there was plenty of hot water. Main criticisms are 1) we were promised laundry service every other day but instead had to purchase it--a place this costly needs to have a washing machine; 2) the kitchen pots and pans are a mish mash--someone needs to go through the stuff and throw out the broken pieces and equip it properly. 3)The poolside chaises and chairs and umbrellas need to be replaced and enough provided to handle the number of guests. The Zihua city government gets 5-stars for its effort to provide a clean and safe environment for guests.

Pure heaven here on earth!

This was my15th trip to Ixtapa/Zihua but always stayed in Ixtapa, at one of the big, sterile hotels. After staying at Casa Arullo, we will never stay in Ixtapa again. Upon our arrival, the host, Leo, met us at the street with luggage cart and escorted us to the house, which is a short and beautiful walk on a boardwalk, along the beach/ocean. When we arrived, my oldest son said,"What a gem of a place this is!" Boy was he right... Located right on Playa Madera, with direct access to beach with all the restaurants, shops, conveniences of Zihua within easy walking distance. Several restaurants are located along the boardwalk below the house or a relaxing walk down the beach. However, the best food is right there at Casa Arulla. The gourmet chef, Sylvia, is truly a world class chef! We've eaten at a lot of "fancy" over priced restaurants around the world and none of them compare to the meals we had during our stay at Casa Arrula. Fresh seafood dishes of lobster, shrimp and fish, along with cold and hot soups to die for. What an exquisite, sumptuous, palate experience we had! Not to out do Sylvia but Leo was as good of a host as Sylvia was a chef. Good-natured, funny and a great conversationalist, as well as always being available to assist with our family's needs. Leo was truly the bomb! I can honestly say this was the best family vacation we've ever had and look forward to coming back in the future.

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!!

We had a group of 4 couples. This property is absolutely breathtaking! The communication from the owner was awesome and all my questions were answered quickly. We asked to have a van pick us up and that was perfect with no issues at all. We were greeted by Leo, the house manager and what a gem he is!! He helped us with everything we needed or asked for. He went to the market with us to make sure we got the best deals and showed us around the area. He walked with us when we booked a snorkeling tour and made sure we knew where to go. Him and his family live on site but it is no issue at all. Leo goes to the bakery every morning and brings back fresh pastries and he puts out a platter of fresh fruit EVERY DAY!! He also makes the coffee for us EVERY MORNING!! We asked his wife, Sylvia if she would cook us a dinner one night. You have to do this!!! The meal was one of the best meals we had! It was homemade tortilla soup, red snapper on a bed of potatoes and leeks, carrots and asparagus and a homemade key lime pie. Leo even served all of us!! The property has a beautiful pool which we loved so much. The second level are the 4 bedrooms which were perfect. The 3rd level is all open palapa style and is HUGE. The kitchen is there with a huge sectional and 2 hanging hammocks to enjoy. We felt very safe here. There are several restaurants within walking distance and the downtown busy area is walkable as well. We are already planning to come back next year!!!!

Perfect & Stunning. Wouldn't change a thing!

This was possibly my favorite vacation rental EVER! We were a group of 5 women escaping children, husbands and winter for 5 glorious days. The house more than met our needs and was simply stunning in every way. The open-air upstairs main room was beautiful and gave the feeling of sitting next to the ocean but while private, secluded and comfortable. The sleeping area was perfect as it is two separate wings - each with two bedrooms, one bathroom and sitting area. The 5 of us had plenty of space. The pool area is heavenly and we spent many hours lounging and staring out at the beautiful bay. We even saw a whale jumping in the bay and school of dolphins one day - all from the pool! The location is perfect- you are steps from the ocean, some beach restaurants next door and a short walk down the well-lit boardwalk to get to the town center. We never felt unsafe while walking or in the house. Gaby was super responsive and helpful - arranging transfers on our arrival and coordinating a pre-arrival shopping list of necessities like guacamole and cervezas. Sylvia and Leo at the house are as accessible as you want them to be. We loved them both and by the end of the trip, we had made Leo our honorary Primo - Primo Leo! Sylvia's food was amazing - ask for chiliquilaes for breakfast! Leo was so helpful and kind. He arranged a boat trip for us and walked us down to the dock. We just loved loved loved every detail of this trip and the wonderful house and people. We are all already plotting how to return - with or without families. Gaby - if you ever plan to sell the house, we want first dibs :) Thank you for everything!

The ultimate location- a dreamy slice of Paradise!

As a family, we love staying in villas or homes so we may enjoy some privacy, cook when we want, swim in a private pool with accessibility to a beach always looking for the ultimate sunset view. This place has all of this and more! The huge patio surrounding the pool and overlooking every part of the bay is bordered and complemented with beautiful flora including a grape tree for necessary shade by the pool. The beach is just a few steps away with many options for great food and entertainment. You can rent kayaks, wake boards, banana boat rides, jet skis. Parasailing and fishing are additional options. There is a boardwalk along the bay which will you take you right into town and the markets. Fresh fish, fresh fruit and authentic Mexican culture is a daily delightful experience. In the late evening after the beach activity concluded, breaking waves is the only glorious sound you will hear. And now for the best part:Gaby, Leo and Silvia. When I made the reservations, I had many questions probably due to no reviews to date. Gaby was always quick to respond and very helpful on what to expect making reservations for dinner and arranged the airport taxi. (no need for a car, taxis are reasonable and so much is within walking distance. We did take a taxi for dinner on Christmas and to get to Ixtapa Island for snorkeling) Leo and Silvia live on the grounds and turned out to be a lot more than caretakers. They are the kindest and most helpful people you might have the chance to meet. Leo accompanied us on most trips into town, helping us to shop the markets, showing us where to get the best fruit, vegs, fish and just about anything you can think of. He spoke with all the locals to make sure we were well taken care of wherever we went. He arranged taxis. If we needed ice, he would run and get it. Silvia and Leo arranged massages and a natural doctor to obtain natural medicine from. Every morning, fresh coffee awaited us on the top floor where no windows block your incredible view. Silvia always had an ample continental breakfast prepared with a giant fruit plate, freshly squeezed orange juice which I miss already and delicious pancakes or toast. She kept everything feeling clean and fresh and always with a smile. Leo spent a lot of time sharing the history of the place and their culture, and along the way became our friend. Would love to keep this place a secret but Gaby, Leo, and Silvia all want to share. Hope to be back soon!

Beautiful view, close to amenities, on the beach, could use a few changes

We stayed here in Nov 2019 with our family of four, and our extended family. The property has two suites... each one has two bedrooms, one bath, and one living space. They are connected by a short breezeway. The property has three levels; with the bottom being the pool and large surround, the second being the bedrooms/bathrooms/living spaces (bedrooms have AC), and the top being an open living space and kitchen/dining area. The Good: outstanding view, excellent location, great chef, very spacious top floor with hammocks and grass roof. Well equipped kitchen, lots of magazines/books around and games to play. A second's walk to a great beach for kids, beach front restaurants and beach massages for Cheap on the beach. Leo was very helpful in organizing a diving trip, calling taxis, and renting sea-doos. Casa was clean; fresh flowers were on the beds when we arrived. Leo speaks great English. The Not As Good: they could use a handy-man to come through. The doors to our bedrooms and bathrooms wouldn't close and lock (they need to be shaved down), and the lock of the main-door is backyards so hard to use, and the door needs to be slammed to lock. The bathrooms are not new, but are clean, and the showers have terrible pressure, barely able to rinse the shampoo out of my hair. The shower to wash sand off your feet is very poor; a foot tap would be better. To enter the property, there is an extremely steep ramp that might not be accessible for the less physically-abled, and you must buzz in to get the staff to let you in. We found this rather annoying and would have preferred a key. There is a spiral cement staircase and very short planter box railings that would be hazardous for young children. A lot of the door handles and shower heads are corroded and could use replacing. Our bedroom door got locked from the inside, and we were unable to find anyone on staff to let us in. My husband ended up climbing through two windows and through planters to break us in. Because the top floor is totally open, when the staff is cooking, there is no division, so it can feel awkward as they stand there and wait. We prefer a closed kitchen or separate dining area when chef services are being used. We stayed at a house near by for our first week, Casa Rosa (highly recommended) and the meal prep for 12 of us there, was equivalent to only ONE of us at this rental! The food was good but not worth the incredibly high price.

Spectacular Stay in Zihua

We chose Zihuatanejo this year for our annual Girl’s Trip. The beaches are wonderful, the city is beautiful and clean, and our stay at Casa Arrullo was spectacular. So glad we found this home because we all agree that the location and amenities of this home are what made this trip so memorable. Our host, Gaby, was very informative and helped provide us with all of the property info that we needed. Sylvia’s cooking was super delicious. Leo was fantastic and we so grateful for all that he did! He got groceries for us, showed us around town, made transportation arrangements for us, made recommendations, but most importantly, made us feel safe and taken care of. The house, though, is the gem. What a beautiful home! We loved the infinity pool, the gorgeous view and sunsets, the sound of the waves crashing, and the ocean a few feet away. We will definitely be returning to Zihua and this will be where we’ll always want to stay!

Teen family friendly

I cannot say enough. The owner and the manager were excellent communicators and understanding of minor issues. The property was gorgeous and comfortable. But Cook was very good and the manager was a special help and guide in town. We trust him and plan to do again.

Wonderful Relaxing Stay

Our stay at Casa Arrullo was wonderful and so relaxing with it's private pool and beautiful view. Leo was attentive, generous and always available for anything we needed; transport, reservations, shopping, recommendations etc. Sylvia prepared several delicious meals for us and a lovely breakfast on our departure day. She's an excellent cook! We look forward to returning to Zihua and Casa Arrullo. Muchas gracias! Highly recommend!

Fabulous stay at Casa Arrullo

Our family had an awesome time at Casa Arrullo. The house is situated right above Playa Madera with direct beach access - we were able to walk down and swim every day and walk the promenade at night to town for dinner and shopping. Leo and Sylvia were absolutely amazing, taking care of our every need - so helpful with reservations, directions, and navigating the city. We concur that the best meal in town was cooked by Sylvia! We highly recommend Casa Arrullo.
