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:
Grocery shopping:
If you want to do the grocery shopping before getting to us, here the most convenient options:
- Bodega Aurrera, about 10 minutes before getting to us
- Chedraui Pie de la Cuesta, about 15 minutes before getting to us
- Sams Club Acapulco, just after leaving the tunnel in Acapulco, about 30 minutes before getting to us
- Oxxo, about 5 minutes before getting to us
Close-by we have some small “tiendas” (mom and pop stores) and an Oxxo convenience store where you can get basic grocery (no meat, limited fruit & vegetable) and basically all beverages, including spirits. We have returnable bottles for beer, and ice coolers which you can use..
If you prefer, our concierge Francisco can do the grocery shopping for you (add transport and tip) or accompany you after arrival. Fish and Seafood is always bought at the market fresh for the day.
If you let us know your preferences for lunch and/or dinner for the day of your arrival and the first breakfast, we do our best to have everything ready.
Here a menu and shopping list for a stay of three nights, four days of 16 people as an example (spanish only):

Tours and activities
Here are some proposals for tours and activities:
- Yacht rental at sea: For diving, snorkeling, deep sea
fishing, or
simply a tour for 4-5 hours. Departing from the marina of Acapulco the cost
for 5 to 6 hours
is about 5 to 6 thousand pesos ( 250 - 300 USD) during the week, and 8 to 10
thousand pesos (400 - 500 USD) on the weekend - it is worth negotiating!
- For scuba diving I normally goe with the guys at Acascuba they have a beautiful catamaran boat for up to 30 people.
- Here a list of other boats see the photos above.
- Laguna: Nice here is that you are at the sea-side, but the
lagoon is just a mile inland. Lagoon is a pretty much untouched natural
environment with lots of birds and fishermen, about 10 x 3 miles, great tour
with a small island for eating.
For tours on the lagoon or to practice water ski I can recommend:- Entre dos Aguas there you have a bit more privacy and they have a beautiful garden for picnic
- Tres Marías which is also a restaurant
Alternatively, our concierge can also get you a private “lancha”, fishermen boat. - Tours: Taxco, Mexico’s Silver City
in the mountains is about a three-hour ride from here. Small, picturesque
town, authentic silver arts.
Also worth to stay a night, there are some big caves couple of miles deep called Grutas de Cacahuamilpa
