Solecito Bungalows

My husband and I have enjoyed this resort for many years and this year our sons joined us. It was a wonderful holiday. The grounds are kept beautifully by Jorge and there’s a beautiful pool. The new chef served us delicious meals. The rooms and bungalows are very comfortable. Bara de Potosi is a nice walk down the beach with many great little restaurants on the beach. It is a very clean and safe destination. I highly recommend it!

We first discovered this gem five years ago and, after missing it for two years, we were so happy to get back this year! The property is very well maintained. All the rooms and casitas are lovely, the beach is outstanding and the town of Bara de Potosí is a nice walk, whether for lunch, an early dinner or just an afternoon margarita. The pool is a good size and a perfect temperature- refreshing yet comfortable. There are lots of comfortable lounge chairs for sitting by the pool or on the beach under a palapa. We loved having the full breakfast every morning! It was delicious!

Solecito is a lush private setting on Playa Blanca, near Zihuatanejo. The ten casitas are small houses, with kitchen, porch, hammock, and at the beach, which has plenty of palapas for lounging. The grounds are impeccable, as is the pool. As this is an adult-only facility, the pool is a quiet, restful setting. There is internet provided, and the onsite restaurant is one of the better along the beach. I could easily spend most of a morning at breakfast as the view is breathtaking and the fresh juices, fruit plates, fresh breads, and main dishes are hard to leave. It is 10 minutes from the airport, but has no noise at all. It is also a short walk to the small village of Potosi, which has many beachfront empanadas to choose from, a few small stores and a fruit stand. The beach, Playa Blanca, is within a broad embayment, so it is partially sheltered from the Pacific waves. The southern end is more sheltered by Guamilule, a small mountain projecting seaward. Swimming is remarkable, as the Pacific water is so warm. Playa Blanca is also less than 1/2 hour from Zihuatanejo, a medium-sized city with an Old Town near the waterfront, beaches, shops, and a local fishing fleet that lands on the beach each morning. You can buy fresh fish from the fisherman, or at the Mercado, which has everything you could want, including bountiful fish. As it seems most people know, the most famous thing that ever happened in Zihuatanejo never happened: It's where Tim Robbins and Morgan Freeman escaped to in the movie, Shawshank Redemption, a cult classic. In the movie it was where you could go to and never be found. It's progressed a bit from then, but still is a remote area with modern airport connections. It seems that most visitors go north of Zihua to Ixtapa, which is a ***** of large hotels on the beach. This is a blessing, as most are not aware of Playa Blanca, which is the real jewel.
