Beauty and Tranquility of Playa Blanca
My husband and I just spent a month in Elena’s villa on Playa Blanca. We absolutely loved the setting on this 10-mile stretch of (yet) undeveloped beach south of the town of Zihuatanejo and just north of the fishing village of Barra de Potosi. The villa is nicely furnished with comfortable seating inside and outside and very comfortable mattresses as well.
There is a lovely view of the large infinity pool and the ocean beyond, not just from the terrace, but also from the living room through floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors along the entire width of the room. All the windows and doors have screens.
The kitchen is very well equipped with lots of dishes, cutlery, pots and pans. While we ate out most of the time (we were on vacation after all), every imaginable appliance and kitchen gadgets are on hand for a more ambitious cook to make elaborate meals.
What we loved most of all was the peace and tranquility. No barking dogs, no crowing roosters, no fire crackers even on major national holidays, no loud music blaring all night – no noise at all, except the pounding of the surf. Our first time in 17 stays all over Mexico that we didn’t have to use ear plugs at night!
Elena is a most gracious host and easy to communicate with before our arrival and also during our stay. We thank her for making her lovely place available to us (and other lucky guests). We had a wonderful time and plan on coming back.
