Geodesic Dome with Kitchen and A/C, 1 Block to the Beach
Just one block from Playa La Ropa which many call the "best beach on the Pacific Coast of México".
This is a private, physically separate, casita with a large, covered patio and an outdoor kitchen. The property is quiet, secure and just a short walk to the beach or a quick bus or cab ride into town.
Designed as a geodesic dome, this casita has a high ceiling and a spacious "not square shoebox" feeling. It is approximately 300 sq ft. (28m2) inside. There are fans as well as air conditioning.
The outdoor kitchen is equipped with fridge and (gas) stove with oven, basic dishes, utensils and other cooking equipment. Anything else you may need, feel free to ask -- we probably have it!
The 250 sq. ft. (23m2) brick patio is roofed over and shaded. The patio and kitchen are for the guests' exclusive use during their stay.
The overall property is walled for privacy, tranquility and security.
Bilingual owner lives on site.

Great 3 Weeks
We spent 3 weeks in February 2024 and had a great time. Julian is very accommodating and drove us to other beach's in the area. There were no surprises, the property is as advertised, great location, close to beach, restaurants, transit and shopping.

Wonderful Experience
This was well-located in Playa La Ropa. Easy access to transportation, the beach and places to eat & explore. The grounds are beautiful. I loved the outdoor kitchen set-up. Julian was an amazing host. He was very accessible and kept me abreast of local developments (i.e. Tropical Storm Lester). He was able to answer any questions I had and I appreciated how helpful he was. I also loved meeting Karim. I would highly recommend this spot in Zihua!

Relaxation at El Escondite
We very much enjoyed our time at El Escondite. Mr. Julian and his wife were great hosts, and the communication was excellent. The location is very convenient, and the property is very nice and quiet. I really enjoyed sitting and reading on the patio with all of the plants and trees. We would absolutely stay here again in the future.

Green Oasis
Julian and Karim are the perfect hosts. Gracious, helpful and willing to offer advice to make our stay the best it could be. I would not hesitate to recommend their accommodation to anyone visiting Zihuatanejo. The property was exactly as advertised and so met all our expectations. The best addition was Cuba, their adorable dog, who was at the gate to greet us with a wagging tail every time. Thank you both for a wonderful stay.

Home away from home.
As first time visitors to Zihuatanejo we had the usual concerns of how to get around and were to go and what to see. Our host Julian quickly eased any concerns we may have had. He went out of his way to help us settle in and provided us all the information we needed.
The facilities are as advertised. The Geodome is very comfortable and larger then the pictures can portray. Everything was very clean and house keeping was provided once a week with fresh bedding and towels provided. The out door kitchen was very spacious and well equipped.
Over all we enjoyed our stay here. We enjoyed our interactions with our hosts. Who's help and commitment to make your stay the best it can be has make what would of be a very good vacation into a great vacation.

Perfect Vacation
We enjoyed our stay in the dome. The location was perfect, short walk to Playa la Ropa, easy cab ride to downtown. Couldn’t have asked for a nicer stay and friendlier hosts. Would definitely stay here again on my next visit.

Un séjour inoubliable
J'ai adoré mon expérience de deux semaines qui a été entrecoupée par une retraite de yoga à Viva Playa. Karim et Julian sont des hôtes exceptionnels et les deux studios sont d'une propreté irréprochable. J'ai été accueillie avec un magnifique bouquet, un panier de fruits, un pichet de jus d'hibiscus, une charmante attention. La propriété est en face du chemin qui mène à la plus belle plage que j'ai eu l'occasion de voir dans ma vie, le sable est très fin, la descente lente et les vagues douces, en plus d'être à 5 minutes de marche du studio. Dormir sous un dôme géodésique est une expérience très zen. La décoration tropicale, les céramiques, les meubles de bois sculptés sont magnifiques et donne un cachet unique. La cuisine terrasse couverte et ventilée permet de passer des soirées agréables. Le bus pour le centre ville s'arrête devant la propriété et en cinq minutes vous êtes dans un marché typiquement mexicain prêt à découvrir les saveurs et produits locaux, le centre ville et ses magnifiques sculptures de bronze, ses murales, sa marina, ses boutiques artisanales, ses peintres et artistes, sa promenade en bord de mer, le restaurant Any où sont servis des plats traditionnels mexicains et j'en passe ... l'endroit parfait pour une retraite d'artiste comme je l'ai fait, une escapade romantique, un séjour entre amis car le deuxième studio peut loger 4 personnes. Supérieur à mon expérience à Riviera Maya aussi j'espère sincèrement pouvoir y retourner l'an prochain.

The Perfect Beach Vacation Home
The home was amazing and we had a lovely time. Our host was incredibly welcoming and kind. We have made a friend for life. The home is right by the beautiful La Playa Ropa, and the bus stopped in front of the house to take us on a quick ride to go into town for shopping along the beach and at the market. It was safe, clean, accommodated, and the perfect home for an authentic experience.

A true Mexican hideaway with a cottage feel and a caring host
As someone that typically does not stay in large resorts this was perfect. It's a a quiet, private getaway where you wake up to the songs of many beautiful birds and sun shining in the windows every day. Close to Zihuatanejo by mini bus at the front door or walk it in 40 minutes with scenery along the way. Walk to the beach in 5. Live like a Mexican might....
Our host Julian went out of his way to make our stay that much better. He is very helpful, has lots of information to share, and kindly took us around to places like the central market and Playa Larga. The market was a great score for me as I love to cook and Mexico has such great fresh ingredients - having the outdoor kitchen was special. and it has the basics you need.
Safe, serene and so relaxing - I miss it already, along with resident big pal Cuba, the dog. Making plans for next year!

Great location to walk to beach and restaurants
Our host Julian was gracious and very helpful. He speaks fluent Spanish and we don’t. He guided us to what we needed. The accommodations were great with our own outdoor patio and kitchen. The geodesic dome was clean with comfortable beds. For what you get it’s a bargain.
