A hidden treasure on Mexico's Pacific coast.

After visiting my grandma who also lives in Guerrero, me and my mom head to this beautiful secret stunning destination which is only 40 minutes from Zihuatanejo. I would have never imagined a relaxing and chic town in the middle of the Pacific coast and the Sierra Madre.

We were so excited when we arrived to Casa Viva, a sister property of Playa Viva, the view from the pool and the dining room was breathtaking! We’were welcomed by Don Andres and Arenita (a beautiful dog) who took us to our Bungalow.

Casa Viva Troncones is a place to relax, enjoy the company, the view and watch the best sunset. We barely left the house

Where to eat?

Eventhough is a small town, me and my mom wanted to explore it so we decided to go for dinner to ‘La Mexicana’ a bohemian place where you can enjoy the best ceviche and shrimp fajitas while enjoying the music of a trio.

Casa Viva Troncones feels both naturally luxurious and thoughtfully balanced between shared and private areas—a true escape where you can disconnect and step into a different world. My mom and I spent unforgettable memories, watching the best sunsets from the jacuzzi. It has direct access to the beach which is the calmest beach I have ever been.

How to get there?

From the airport in Ixtapa-Zihuatanejo, Guerrero, you will need to take a taxi to Troncones Beach, which is approximately 40 minutes away.
As for safety, it’s a very calm and safe town—touristy, but not in a party-oriented way—so you can be sure you'll enjoy a wonderful holiday with your loved ones.

With love
