This is truly a five star vacation experience. Upon arrival in Ixtapa, we were picked up at the airport by a private driver, Manuel. From there, Tello and team were super responsive to our meal requests and everything they made was INCREDIBLE (they prepare three meals a day; spaghetti bolognese and chili rellenos were our favorites). It was my birthday celebration with friends so they even made a special birthday dessert one night. Every evening there was a turndown service in our rooms and every morning the place had been cleaned with fresh coffee waiting. The property itself is at the very top of a resort, so we felt safe the entire time. You can take the funicular down to the beach, which we did for a couple hours one day, but honestly we just never wanted to leave the property. I already have friends who came with us that are looking to book their next stay with other friends or family. Look no further if you are looking for a relaxing, effortless, five star experience.

Thank you so much to Tello and staff for the incredible experience. The Villa was exactly what we had hoped for. We hope to be back someday!

We had a wonderful stay at Casa del Sol. The house is magnificent, and Teo and Juanita were even better. Couldn't reccommend more.

This place takes the cake, incredible views, absolutely the best food and charming staff! I would come here over and over and recommend it to anyone! Tello made a wonderful cake for my 50th birthday and the host Agnes generously have me a beautiful hammock! Can't wait to come back and here the sounds of the jungle again!

We had a wonderful stay at Casa del Sol. Tello, Juanita and Manuel were so helpful. The food was great & we got everything we asked for. Rooms were well supplied and clean. We enjoyed boat rental, atv tour & snorkel trip. The view is breathtaking. All of us girls may have had tears when we first saw it. Looking forward to returning for sure. We're even considering buying a place in Ixtapa. Can't say enough about it. Love the people, culture, mountains & beaches!

Every descriptive word that can describe how we all felt can be found in the Dictionary under AMAZING! From the first pick up ride at the airport, to the house of a million stairs which leads you all to SPECTACULAR views and comforts, to our amazing house Chef Tello and his wife Juanita, to all the wonderful staff and then to the last drop off at the end of our vacation were SUPERIOR. We cannot say enough kind words without writing on for days, but just take our words into account when deciding to stay here or not, it is a place not to be overlooked. A small side note about this home are all the stairs. There are a lot of stairs. So, people with knee issues will certainly only get to stay on the top floor and dining areas as there are 4 great floors to get to and all are worth the pain if they can tolerate it. Not to be missed out. Also, please be cautious when getting out of the pools. We did have a few slipping falls occur, nothing that required a hospital or clinic call, but could have been avoided if we were told to be super cautious when getting in or out. My opinion or suggestion would be to require the use of pool shoes to avoid any further slips or major falls. The one sad note was the Gondola ride from the parking area down to the ocean, which just so happened to be under construction/maintenance, and it was very sad news to hear especially since each ride from the house staffed driver, cost you out of pocket to get anywhere below, so bring your spare change $$$ That's all for now, we certainly will call upon Agnes again if Ixtapa is in our future. Thank you so much for having your beautiful home open for the rest of the world to enjoy! Sincerely, The Chavez Family ♥

Quite possibly the most beautiful property and experience at Casa Del Sol! Each room has amazing views and Tello and the house staff were always accommodating and the homemade food can't be beaten. We can't wait to come back and had the best time!

This property is a real gem! The gorgeous views from every room are breathtaking. There are so many areas with comfortable seating to relax and enjoy! The property affords privacy and yet enough space for a large group to be together. It was very easy to communicate with the owner and she answered every question and request promptly. I cannot say enough about the on-site staff! They were pleasant, welcoming, knowledgeable, friendly and responsive! We so much enjoyed being with them. By the end of our week we felt as though they had been friends forever. And….Tello’s meals were absolutely scrumptious! Each meal was beyond delicious!! He prepared everything with fresh ingredients and with obvious care! What a great vacation!!! Many thanks to Tello, Juanita and Lupe!!!

This was our third stay at Casa Del Sol and we were not disappointed. Many beautiful upgrades and suite expansions since our last visit only added to our exceptional experience. Location is the best in Ixtapa and feels like a private resort. The staff; chef Tello, Juanita and Lupa took great care of us and served tasty meals tailored to our requests. The meals were so good and the setting so beautiful, we rarely left the property. We have already booked our stay for next year. Agnes the property owner is very easy to work with and checked on our satisfaction during our visit. Highest recommendations.

This was the best experience ever. The house was beautiful and the views were amazing. But what was more impressive was the hospitality that Tello and his family showed us throughout our stay. Every single meal we had was delicious. I would definitely stay here again and looking forward to going back soon. Thank you

Everything about our stay was fabulous! The property was beautiful and well maintained. Views were stunning. Tello and his team took care of us and his food was delicious. Wish we could have stayed longer

Property was beautiful, staff was friendly, fun & accommodating. Chef/Administrator, Tello was excellent, his meals were delicious and he took care of all our wants & needs.

First, thank you VRBO for making this property available that lead to an incredible experience and vacation. Casa Del Sol is a very beautiful property with a view that has to be the best in Ixtapa. With this beautiful view, you also get to experience the best meals that are prepared by the great team of Tello and Juanita. You know that you are on a great vacation when you absolutely are looking forward to the next meal whether it is breakfast, lunch, or dinner that was prepared by them. Agnes was great to work with and always accommodating to our request. This is one of the places that can offer a vacation experience that not only stays with you for the rest of your life but will also stay with your family as well.

We enjoyed our stay along with 5 other couples to celebrate my 50th birthday. Tello, Juanita and Leti took care of us each and every day with a variety of authentic meals cooked to perfection. Tello arranged multiple in house massages and even our COVID testing for our flights back. Each room had wonderful views of the ocean and sunsets and the multiple pools allowed us to follow the shade and enjoy them all. There are a lot of stairs but we all managed them without any trouble. By far, the best vacation spot ever! Secluded and quiet with a short walk to the free funicular down to the beach and parties. Tello will also set you up with Manuel who will help you plan various excursions from city tours to fishing and even a trip to release some newborn turtles! We had a wonderful time. Thank you for having us. We'll be back for sure!!!

Nothing negative at all. The whole experience was 5 star from start to finish. Couldn’t have asked for a better chef.

Our first stay in the Ixtapa area. We did extensive research and wanted a house to be away from the crowds (COVID) and to relax. We picked the perfect house. It is ideally located, West facing on the Ixtapa bay, which provided amazing views and perfect sunsets. The house has so much character and would be perfect for up to 3 families or 4 couples. There is plenty of living space and lots of spots to congregate or find alone time. The best part was the hospitality of Tello and Juanita. The food was AMAZING! Tello works with you to map out what you want every day, and he does such a nice job with the selection, quality and any needs you have. I learned how he makes the hot salsa, guacamole and chocolate mousse. Juanita keeps things clean and help Tello make his magic. We used Manuel to book our tours (zip lining, city tour and fishing). Growing up in the area, we felt welcomed by him and trusted him to ensure we had a great time. The beach is a 200 foot and a funicular ride away (funicular was getting maintenance) or a quick van ride to the bottom of the hill. My daughter enjoyed the custom coffees at the Pacifica resort every day, which allowed me to get in some steps. Agnus, the property manager was super helpful preparing us. She arranged for a taxi to/from the airport so we didn't need a rental car. We are definitely booking here again.

There just aren't enough words to describe how incredible this property is! We are still in compete awe! Tello, Juanita and Lety are nothing short of amazing either! The meals were all fabulous and cooked with love! The rooms, the pools, the landscaping! Wow!! And the view couldn't have been more perfect! We watched a momma whale teaching her babies everyday! Our every expectation was exceeded!! We will be back!

First and foremost, Tello and his family were wonderful. The best food I have ate in Mexico! We did not even want to go out to eat! There were 11 of us staying here. The rooms were out of a magazine. The view..... no words or pictures do it justice. If there has to be a negative, it would only be we were not allowed to use the funicular or pool at the lower level of the property. On the website it states this was available. But when we arrived we were told it was private and we could not use it. Would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it! Thanks for an amazing time!

When you read review after review of how amazing a place is you wonder if it really is true.... When you see photos of a beautiful property you set a level of expectations you HOPE get met. This trip has by far blown us out of the water with what we expected! The casa is absolutely gorgeous! The view is the best.view you will ever have in Ixtapa. The staff is so amazing!! Tello and his wife Juanita were such gracious hosts and Claudia was an amazing helper too! So cheerful and happy to happy with any request you have. We all love great food and having a chef on this trip were curious about the level and quality the food would be. Tello is seriously an amazing chef who will meet every request you could possibly have! His Red Snapper was the best we have ever had!! I highly encourage you to give him a little free reign in the food choice....he wont do you wrong! The house itself is just beautiful!! Not a bad room! There are many different levels and lots of stairs so come knowing you will be doing stairs to get up and down to different levels of living and entertaining. The pools here are amazing. The infinity pool over looking the cliff was our favorite place to hang out all afternoon and watch the sun set. Getting down to the beach from the Funicluar is fast and easy and so relaxing! There is no extra cost to use this. Agnes is an amazing super host and makes sure that every need we have is met! We are so excited to come back again! Thank you from Minnesota!!

Our stay was absolutely amazing. Tello, Juanita and Claudia are the sweetest people. Took wonderful care of us. Tello's food is delicious! We only went out for dinner twice and lunch once really to give them a break from us! Tello fed us 3 amazing meals a day at the times we requested. Just give him an idea of what foods you like and let him plan your meals. He will not disappoint. His beef tenderloin bolognese, fish. fajitas, vegetables, eggs ranchero, potatoes, bacon, fresh guacamole, pico, beans.......etc...lol.... are amazing! He picked up our food and alcohol whenever we needed and presented a precise list of cost with receipts. So easy! The house is amazing! We had 5 couples with us and each were very satisfied with rooms. Lots of steps LOL. The house is on 6 amazing levels with stairs. Your legs will get a very needed workout! The private gondola down to the pool hanging off the cliff is an unexpected treat and the shared gondola down to the beach is just steps away from your private door. The view from your common area with dining and pool is amazing! We all agreed it was the best trip we've ever taken. The house and staff will not disappoint! We've already booked our trip for next year. Thank you Tello, Juanita, Claudia, and Agnes!! It was beautiful!

The house, the location, the chef and staff, the owner were all 10/10. We can’t wait to come back. Thank you Agnes for making our stay over the top.

We had an amazing week at this gorgeous villa! There is so much room and each room is decorated right out of a 5 star boutique hotel. On top of that, Chef Tello is truly a 5 star chef. We loved every meal which was presented so beautifully. This was a true vacation in every way. My husband and I loved the Shalimar suite with our private dipping pool and outside lounge. The beach is great... loved going down there for a swim and then returning to house for lunch and swimming... We hope to return soon!

A group of seven women “The MN Hotties” stayed for a week at this Fabulous property ...the pictures don’t do it justice... and like all the reviews have said ...your draws drop and you keep saying OMG ...OMG...OMG as you discover new areas to explore. The infinity pool is to die for ...but what’s even better is Tello, Juanita and staff that take care of your every need ...Tello is an amazing chef ...you cannot find better food in Ixtapa anywhere!! We only went out for dinner once and it didn’t compare to the food that we had back at the Villa ...what a special vacation ...you were treated like royalty ...and if you have the opportunity to go there ....because they are booked quite heavily ...don’t Even give it a second thought!!! Do it!! we’ve already booked for next year and can’t wait to get back Agnes ,the owner of the property , is superb with her communications and very responsive to your emails....You will be impressed with every aspect of this vacation paradise!!! Thank you Agnes, Tello and Juanita. Your all FABULOUS!!!

This is one of the most stunning places I’ve been too. It was our second visit to this home. We enjoyed it more the second time as we were more in tune with program. Tello and his assistant’s are wonderful. The cooking was fabulous. There isn’t a need to go out for dinner. They pay attention to all the details and work hard at making sure your stay is the best it can be. Be sure to ask about the cooking tour! It was a lot of fun and a great experience.

We (5 couples) recently completed our stay at Casa Del Sol and can only describe it as incredible. All of us have travelled frequently and all agree that this is the best accommodation/location/vacation we have ever had. The only thing better than the property was the people. Tello, Juanita and Claudia looked after our every need and we quickly turned over the menu to Tello and just let him prepare his choices. They were all spectacular! So much so that we never left the villa for any dinners, perfection is hard to beat! We are already planning our return trip next year so thank you so much Agnes, Tello, Juanita (loved your T-Shirts) and Claudia.

Best vacation ever! The pictures don’t even do this house justice. It’s hard to describe the quality of the house, the view, the food and service by Tello and Juanita. It’s just a perfect experience! We’ve now been three times, and know we will go back!

Upon arriving at Casa Del Sol, my group spent the next hour with our jaws dropped, uttering OMG! OMG! I can't believe this! The pictures seemed too good to be true...but they ARE true and it's even more wonderful in person when accompanied by the blue skies and sunshine! No fighting over bedrooms because every one is spectacular! The beds were comfortable, space was ...well spacious, decor was classy yet relaxed and every detail in the villa itself spoke to how this villa was built with love. Each day we noticed little nuances (the hand laid stone borders on the floors, placement of the ambiance lighting, strategic ceiling fans inside and out). Tello and Juanita were our on site hosts and they greeted us with smiles and a proud tour of the villa. We selected our meals from a huge menu (2 days at at time). Tello did the shopping and cooking and let us know what the cost of the food was, for which we reimbursed him every day or so. He also took care of keeping the ice, beer, wine and spirits on hand (again, we created the list, he bought, we paid him back). The meals were sooooo delicious! I've never eaten so healthy in my life! With the abundance of fresh fruits and veggies local to the area, I discovered I liked items that I previously had not! i.e. Tomatoes (I requested them in most dishes!) Not only did they cook for us but also served our meals just like at a restaurant, moving the dish from one person to the next. Juanita, Tello's wonderful, sweet wife, took care of our accommodations each day, throughout the day. We started calling her "The Ninja". We'd move from one area to the next and then go back and Juanita had been there already cleaning things up, straightening and making it look like we had just arrived! We had Tello contact someone to come to the villa to give massages. ($30 US Dollars for an hour!) That was pure heaven! We only ventured out twice, once to Ixtapa and once to Zihuatenajo, and both times we cut the trips short because....we missed the villa! There really is no reason to leave! Everything you need is there, at your beck and call, and there is no place so beautiful! A few days into our vacation, Agnes, the owner, called and spoke with me to see how things were going, which I so appreciated! I was happy to tell her how HAPPY we all were and how Tello and Juanita were just wonderful! I cried when I left, hugging Tello and Juanita. I can't wait to see them and Casa Del Sol again!! Thank you!

Villa del Sol is absolutely amazing. All the reviewers have said it all already. I will never be able to go back to a packed resort setting, not to mention bland all inclusive food. The chef services truly are 100% included. You reimburse by receipts for everything Tello shops for. Plus he is more than just the chef; he went above and beyond for unexpected needs we ran into, including medical. I'm trying to plan a trip back already! Thank you for everything!
