The three mountain-view rooms include double beds in two of the rooms and twin singles in the third allowing for maximum occupancy which is ideal for large families or a group of couples. the unit includes a fully equipped laundry room, and there is a full fitness facility on the grounds.

The private Amara pools provide everything you need at this ocean paradise. Swim, soak, or relax under the palapa/cabana while Amara staff provide you with your favourite beverages and snacks. Enjoy endless walks along the beach and return to luxury through your private beach entrance with attached shower and washroom facilities

We really hope that you enjoy your stay in our families condo in the Amara. Our 1102C condo has been a terrific opportunity for our family to share some amazing memories and to create some great relationships with our neighbours, our guests as well as some of the local business owners and their families. They're some of the nicest people that we've had the opportunity to meet!

Please be considerate and turn off the air conditioning and the lights when you're not in the unit. Keep in mind that this is a non smoking unit and pets are not allowed.

Please be considerate of the Amara rules...no rough housing in the pool and drinks can only be consumed in one corner of the adult pool. You can enjoy drinks on the lounge chairs in both the adult and family pool. When the pool is busy kindly do your best to limit your use of the lounge chairs to two. Please remember that this is not a hotel. It is a condominium and families do live here.

Drinks, snacks and even breakfast can be had at the palapa. Put them on your room tab and just be sure to settle up with administration before you leave. Sergio and Carlos will be sure to take care of you. Last call varies between 6pm and 7pm.

You can check out the Westjet link attached for some great information on Ixtapa/Zihuatanejo! https://www.westjet.com/vacations/en/destinations/destination-overview.shtml?id=DGUEZIH

Cabs can be picked up throughout Ixtapa and Zihuatanejo. You can also coordinate with Mario (cab 400 - Mario_taxi_400@hotmail.com). He'll take care of you.

If you need groceries pop into La Comercial (similar to Superstore). If you're staying longer they've also got a Sam's Club (similar to Costco) but you'll need a membership.

If need be you can get medical attention (for minor issues) next door at La Krystal. Administration can call over and the doctor will drop by the unit to meet with you. There is a charge of approximately $70U.S. (price may vary) but the doctor can write a prescription if required. With four kids we've had to use their services a few times and it is reassuring to know they're close by.

Restaurants

The General's is a great sports bar across the street from the condo. Catch Soccer (football), MLB, NHL, NFL, CFL or anything else you'd like to watch. Be sure to ask for Genero.

Casa Morelos...seafood casserole and the Mexican coffees are fantastic.

Chilli Beans is great for an easy bite to eat.

Emilio's for great salads, pizza and ribs

Rueben's is a great burger joint directly across the street.

Il Mare (Italian on the hill) above La Ropa beach. Beautiful spot to watch the sunset during dinner above Zi.

Banditos is a must visit in Zihuatanejo. Great food, great margarita's and it's located across from the market where you can buy lots of souvenirs.

Activities

Rent wave runners and coordinate para sailing right in front of the condo. Ask for Jorge (Horhay). He and his boys will take care of you!

Rent bikes across the street by Rueben's. Rent them for 3hrs and take a great ride on a beautiful bike path to Playa Linda...nice long beach, nature reserve with crocs and iguana's and cerveza's to quench your thirst.

Coordinate snorkelling at Ixtapa Island either at the end of a fishing trip or on its own. You can also go deep sea fishing and look for mahi-mahi, tuna or sailfish. We've caught them all on various trips. You can coordinate with Big Ben...don't worry. He'll find you when you're hanging over the edge of the pool!

You can also swim with dolphins. It's a 10 minute walk from the condo. Head to Delfiniti Ixtapa for a great experience with the kids. Book in advance (even the same day) for a 20% discount.

Additional activities include zip lining, horseback riding or surfing. We haven't done these trips yet but we know lots of people that have!

We'll be sure to do whatever we can to assist you in making your visit more memorable!

Most of all enjoy and experience all that Ixtapa and Zihuatanejo have to share!

"We are a family/group of eight, and our stay was fantastic. The accommodation provided ample space for hanging out, cooking, reading, and even napping on the balcony. The cleaning service every second day was a great convenience. Additionally, we arranged for Dalia to prepare a delicious Mexican feast, which was a highlight of our stay!"

Amara 1102C was a great fit for our family. The granddaughter loved the pools. We had someone come in and cook one night, thanks to the property manager Claudia setting this up. The furniture was very comfortable, unlike a lot of Mexican furnishings. Claudia was quick to respond to our questions. We would definitely recommend this condo to others.

Extremely well furnished, staff A++
This one of my favorite condos that I’ve ever stayed in while visiting Ixtapa, I loved the furnishings and decor. Cleanliness was outstanding - and many items that are normally missing were there for our use. Thank you! We were especially impressed with Dahlia’s (sic?) cooking, she suggested new foods and replaced all consumables, coffee, food items, Gatorade, without ever being asked. We were spoiled.. could not recommend this condo any more highly.

Great place, highly recommended
I have no hesitation in recommending this condo. Good for large groups (we were nine and fit comfortably), beautiful views of the beach, and perfectly located close to shopping and amenities in Ixtapa. The condo is very well maintained and appointed, with anything that one might need on a beach vacation.

Perfect Piece of Paradise
Our family (a group of 9 between the ages of 17 - 83) thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Amara. The unit was spacious and well-appointed making it comfortable for all of us to stretch out and gather together comfortably. The large balcony was perfect for watching the setting sun, spotting rays surfing in the waves, or to read peacefully while the sun rose. The property manager, Claudia, was easy to communicate with and responded quickly. We used the cooking services of Ana and her sous-chef, Miriam, for 4 nights and each meal left us speechless. From booking the unit through to our arrival, Bill was prompt to reply to my many questions and his suggestions for activities and restaurants were great. Thank you again for hosting us for an incredibly memorable family holiday. We would highly recommend a stay here and hope to return again one day soon!

The condo itself is well appointed and has everything you need, Claudia the property manager is sweet as can be and the owner Bill kept us very apprised of anything we needed to know. We will be back!

Paradise with teens!
Second time staying at this condo and truly it’s the easiest vacation ever! Bill is prompt at replying and a breeze to deal with. The condo is so spacious and so nicely decorated. Kitchen has all you need for preparation, they even have a cooler and thermos to take to the beach! Claudia, the proper manager is amazing, she arranges for the fridge to be stocked with your grocery order upon arrival, answers all questions promptly, helped us arrange a cook to come in twice and make us dinner. Order the coconut shrimp! The space is also wonderful with 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms it’s a dream for two families or extended family. The linens are good quality and there are more than enough bath and pool towels. We love how quiet Ixtapa is, makes for safe place for teens to head across the street into town for lunch or shopping. Zijuatenejo is also fun to go to, love the view of the sunset from Que casa Canta deck!

A perfect vacation location!
This was the 2nd time we stayed at the Mitchell's Amara home. We had a group of 9 and had plenty of room. I like how the elevators take you right to your door, instead of walking forever to get to your home away from home. It is close to lots of shops and way too many restaurants! One week is not enough to try them all! One of our favorite things to do was to watch the sun set every night on the balcony before going out for dinner. Claudia was super nice! She let us know that we could call her anytime with questions. She greeted us when we got there, and came by as we were leaving to say good bye, till next time! The staff at the bar/restaurant were great/very polite. We felt very safe at the Amara. The security guards were very attentive whether we went out walking or taking a taxi or swimming at the pool till 10 pm! The fireworks all along the beach on New Year's Eve were incredible! We hope to be back next year!!!

Positively amazing.
We have stayed in Ixtapa three times, at the Amara twice. This is easily the best stay we have had there. The condo is amazing. Bill has gone above and beyond to make the place feel like home. Leaving toiletries around the place. Having a key code for the door so you don't need to coordinate who has a key. Coordination with with Claudia to easily communicate requests. It was easily the best place we have found in Ixtapa. The condo is on the 11th Floor, with a great view over both the Amara pool as well as the neighboring hotel. If you haven't been to the Amara before, it is a relaxed place with friendly staff, guests, and permanent residents. We brought our two small children and they were welcomed by all there. We would definitely seek out the opportunity to stay here again.

Can't wait to go back!
This is an amazing property. The condo has everything you need and the location is perfect. The condo owner made the rental process very easy. We had 4 couples so each couple got their own bedroom/bathroom. This is a very family friendly property. We liked that the condo property would deliver 5 gallon water bottles so that we always had purified water in the kitchen. More than enough towels for large groups and housekeeping was easy to arrange and they did a great job. Many restaurants, shops, convenience stores, banks, and liquor stores, just across the street - all within 3-10 minutes’ walk. Very good security at the front gate and the beach. No one allowed without a wristband. Pool bar has snacks like chips, burgers, fries and quesadilla. Try the jicama and cucumbers! They have breakfast too. Staff at the pool bar was very friendly. Beers were around $2 US and drinks around $4 US. I had my share of Sangria with vodka….yum! Something to keep in mind about the Amara property (not the condo unit)…..no coolers, outside food/drink or music allowed at the pool. You cannot have drinks in any of the pools (not even soda). Rules at the adult pool allow you to set your drink on the edge of the pool but only in a small section near the bar. Also, the neighboring resorts and nightclubs do make some noise. If you are a light sleeper it might bother you. We just turned the A/C on at night and with the windows closed we were fine.

First class property with all expected amenities...wonderful staff
This is a first class property with a commanding view of the beach and the Pacific Ocean. The pools are large and immaculately maintained. At times we felt they were our own private pools. The Palapa is a great spot to pick up the stray margarita or two and relax in the shade. The unit is exactly as described. High expectations were met. Many solidly good restaurants are within walking distance. If you care to venture further, taxis are readily available. Wonderful weather, warm ocean temperatures, first class property with a terrific staff, amenities galore. What more need be said?
