The one bedroom casitas are independent little houses nestled in the gardens around the swimming pool. They are located on a hillside, with steps down to the swimming pool. Some have a back entrance to an access road where vehicles may be parked, but in general these casitas are not suitable for those who cannot manage more than a few stairs. All around the casitas are tropical shrubs and flowers, lush lawns and tall trees.

From the terrace, the one bedroom casitas open up into a large bedroom. The windows are shuttered on the outside, so it’s best to close the shutters before retiring for the night. Inside the bedroom, one door opens to a small TV room and another to a large dressing area and bathroom.

The casitas are simply furnished with cool tiled floors and white walls. The bedroom is air-conditioned and there is also a ceiling fan. The refrigerator and a coffee maker are located in the TV room and the telephone in the bedroom.  The large dressing room has an open closet and plenty of space for luggage storage. Bathrobes, laundry lists and a room safe are provided.

Casitas Hibiscus and Copa de Oro both have two bedrooms and two bathrooms. In Casita Hibiscus, both bedrooms have a king bed and en-suite bathroom. In Casita Copo de Oro one bedroom has a king bed and the other has two queen beds; both bedrooms have en-suite bathrooms. The third casita, Girasol, has two bedrooms, each with a king bed, sharing one bathroom.

Casita Hibiscus has a large living room – a common feature of all the two bedroom casitas – furnished with sofas and a dining table, plus a full kitchen. The two bedrooms lie to either side of the living room. Each bedroom in Casita Hibiscus has a spacious en-suite bathroom featuring a large oval tub with a shower above.  Each bedroom is fitted with an air-conditioning unit and also has a ceiling fan.

In Casita Hibiscus there are three terraces; one that opens up from the sitting room and one for each bedroom. In this casita the terraces are screened. There are magnificent, far reaching views over the estate with the ocean just visible on the horizon.

Casita Girasol lies closest to the swimming pool and is ideal for families. It has three bedrooms, one with a king bed and en-suite bathroom, and two further bedrooms (one with two single beds and one with a king bed) that share a further bathroom.

A spacious sitting room opens out onto a large terrace, facing towards the pool. This room has ample seating for a family. A large refrigerator is located in the kitchen. The casitas are not intended for self catering, but families with young children might find it convenient to prepare snacks for the children here.

The terrace to the front of the casita has two large daybeds and vistas over the estate towards the ocean in the distance. A second terrace is accessed from the master bedroom and has jungle views; this terrace is blissfully sunny in the mornings.

The master bedroom is very generously sized and features a long sofa bench. The bathroom has a large, oval shaped tub and a dressing room. The second king bedroom faces the front of the casita and has direct access to the main terrace. The third bedroom has two head-to-head single beds in the corner of the room and lots of closet space. The second bathroom is a small shower room that opens off the hallway and is adjacent to a half-bathroom.

La Loma has a spectacular location on a bluff, overlooking the miles of virgin beaches on the Cuixmala estate. This is the grandest and most opulently furnished of all the villas and includes magnificent reception rooms, indoor and outdoor dining areas and beach facilities that are exclusively for the use of guests at la Loma.

The main house has four bedrooms, each with ensuite bathroom. Each room is palatial in size; bedrooms feature large open fireplaces and sofas. The master bedroom has a balcony with a plunge pool that enjoys elevated views of the beach. There is a magnificent dining room, a beautifully spacious sitting room and a welcoming library. La Loma also features a large cinema room and guests have access to a generously stocked movie library.

A series of steps lead down from the main house to the beach area and swimming pool (vehicle access is also possible). The large seawater pool is virtually on the beach, so that guests can admire the powerful surf from the calm waters of the pool. This beach generally has “red flag” conditions, but there are other swimming beaches on the estate.

Additional guests can be accommodated in the six bungalows that are close to la Loma. Each is an independent little house with a bedroom, bathroom and a terrace. Some of the bungalows have ocean views. One of the bungalows has two bedrooms, so the total number of guests can be accommodated in the bungalows is 14, and the total in la Loma is 22.

Casa Puma is a three bedroom villa with its own stunning swimming pool. The villa has breathtaking views over the estate, as far as la Loma and the coastline.

Casa Puma has three bedrooms. The master bedroom has a king bed; a second bedroom also has a king bed, and the third bedroom has two queen size beds. Each bedroom has a private bathroom and is air-conditioned. In addition, there are indoor and outdoor sitting rooms and a dining room.

This villa has extensive terraces from which guests can take in the beautiful views. The swimming pool is surrounded by comfortable sun loungers and there is plenty of space for a family to relax together.

Casa Torre has been recently refurbished and extended, and is the most modern of the four villas in style. We highly recommend this villa for up to four couples traveling together, since the bedrooms are quite separate. Two are located in the main section of the house and two by the swimming pool.

The two bedrooms that are closest to the pool are furnished in modern, minimalist style. They have large bathrooms with magnificent rain showers. One bathroom has a freestanding oval tub. The remaining two bedrooms in the main house are more traditional and tropical in design. These bedrooms are closer to the charming covered veranda and the casa’s picturesque courtyard. All the bedrooms are air-conditioned.

The fabulous infinity pool at Casa Torre is one of the most picturesque swimming pools we’ve seen. The pool is long and deep; perfect for swimming. It doesn’t have a shallow section for children.

Casa Alborada also has far reaching views of the estate, which includes lagoons and forests. This villa features indulgent indoor and outdoor living spaces and is perfect for a family or for friends traveling together.

Casa Alborada features three similarly sized bedrooms, each with a king bed and ensuite bathroom. There is also a spacious TV room which has two queen beds and a bathroom. All of these rooms are air-conditioned.
The sunny and spacious sitting rooms are furnished in vibrant colors to reflect the exotic climate. The outdoor sitting room is especially delightful, and provides a shady and breezy place to relax when the sun is at its peak.

The magnificent swimming pool is sure to be a favorite place for Casa Alborada’s guests to gather together during the daytime. There are also beautiful beaches within easy reach – car rental is essential at Cuixmala since the estate is so large.
