Casa Candiles

It seems unfortunate that the concept of a beach getaway has been reduced to cookie-cutter resorts that routinely overcharge you as a matter of form. This is why Casa Candiles stands out. During our honeymoon stay, we explored the tourist-laden beaches and the nearby town of Zihuatanejo. That had its charm, but the best part was when the inn keeper told us about the Ixtapa that is not in brochures. I would suggest either staying under five days or over two weeks. That would give you enough time to travel to many hidden treasures not that... more

We loved Casa Candiles. It was every thing we needed in a vacation. Senor Bob was willing to give us as much or as little as we needed. Miguel kept the casa shining. We felt very at home in the casa as it is a home with service included. We woke every morning to beverages and a dip in the pool. Senor Bob took us to out-of-the way places during the day and the once again into the pool followed by a great siesta. We dined anywhere from rice and beans to beautiful restaurants, all of which Bob was gracious enough to guide us. We highly... more

Two weeks at Casa Candiles while overseeing the remodel of our condo in Ixtapa; I just returned home and told my husband how extremely difficult it all was. What he doesn’t know won’t hurt him! Truth be told, I had an elegant vacation during which breakfast was served in my room each morning, the jungle pool, butterflies, flowers and birds always beckoned, the free guest phone to the states let me keep my spouse informed as to my progress, yet the beach was but a few-minute walk from the inn, and, at the end of my “weary”... more

As the wife of a general manager of a 5 Star Resort, my standards for excellence for accommodations are extremely high. I was truly overwhelmed with the personal service, attention to detail, beauty, and quality of Casa Candiles. From the moment I arrived and was greeted by Roberto, I knew that this would be the vacation of a lifetime. After the tour of the inn and being shown my suite, I was treated to a "Welcome Luncheon". Speaking very little Spanish, I was nervous about arriving at my destination and a bit fatigued after my flight... more

Four of my friends and I wanted an affordable place that could serve as a home base for our spring break trip (business school students). We did not care for an all-inclusive, expensive hotel but rather a place that was relaxing and comfortable and something that didn't feel too "touristy". Casa Candiles provided all of that. With fresh coffee in the morning and our private pool, we always felt very comfortable during our trip. Outside of sleeping, we would spend a few hours a day in the house and while we were there, the service was... more

Just returned last night from two weeks at Casa Candiles in Ixtapa. This is a lovely, adults only 3 suite hotel that really is Ixtapa's best kept secret. Since making our first inquiries we both had the feeling that this must be too good to be true but upon our arrival we discovered that everything was as least as good as, if not better and more beautiful than promised. The home, grounds and pool are all impeccably kept and the Innkeeper's attention to detail is impressive. You are made to feel that you are a guest in a very special... more
