We just returned from 21 days at Casa Rumi. The views cannot be surpassed, no matter what direction you look or from where. From the main living area, you see the bay, the mountains and the open Pacific ocean. If you wake during the night, you see a stunningly beautiful view of illuminated Zihuatenajo across the bay from the master bed without even getting up!, The views are everywhere.
The landscaping is breathtaking. Tropical flowers, fruits and plants everywhere. Elias, the caretaker, manages them beautifully. He is there for about an hour or so 3 days a week pruning, watering and sweeping. He also takes care of the pool and miscellaneous household maintenance.
Oh yes, the house itself. It is beautifully designed, equipped and furnished. Honestly, it was more space than my husband and I needed for just the two of us, but it was such a luxury to have it all to ourselves. Would be perfect for two couples. Very open to the outside and built into the cliffs in the way done only in Mexico (especially, Zihua). You can see the house no matter where you are in Zihua. It is at the very top of the highest hill at the southerly end of La Ropa. We had great fun pointing it out to people when they asked where we were staying.
The pool was a little cool for us, but it probably gets more sun (and becomes warmer) later in the year. It is unheated and relies on the sun for heat. Even though we had 21 days of perfectly blue skies and sunny weather in the high 80's, the sun angles were such that the pool was shaded until about 2:00 p.m. Then it got sun, but not enough to warm it up.
Good for exercise, as being at the top of the highest hill, everything is downhill to get to and uphill to return. We tended to walk out and cab back. We didn't have a car.
Richard and Charlotte were gracious hosts. Very responsive to questions; both before we left and while at the house.
We loved it!
