From Mexico City, it is approximately 4 and a half hours from the first toll booth to the house. Alternatively, you can take Highway 95 towards Zihuantanejo just after the last toll booth. This will save some time and the heavy traffic of Acapulco - but it is about 30 miles over the toll free road.

From the airport you can take one of the “official” taxis, the trip will take around 70 minutes and costs 800 pesos, the return should be closer to 500 pesos.

Van Rental

If you visit us as a group, you could rent a van, so the party already will start at home, you also save on gas and highway fees - and help the environment.
Options with chauffeur for up to 20 people, from 15 thousand pesos:

• CamioRenta

Ideas for your menue

Our team of one chef and two cooks will prepare you delicious meals. The cost of the food preparation is already included in the rent, but the purchase of the groceries goes extra. For budget purposes you can calculate with 150 to 200 pesos (13-15 USD) per day per person, depending on how much seafood and meat you include in your menue.
