Our Condo, Real Contramar is located in Ixtapa Mexico, overlooking the Pacific Ocean with spectacular views, especially at sunset. Real Contramar consists of 4 towers each with 6 condos. each unit is about 2000 sq ft. of living space. Our unit has 2 large bedrooms,each with its own ensuite including bathroom and shower area. A third bathroom is located off the main entrance. The floors are marble and counters are granite. We have painted in traditional warm Mexican colours. All rooms have individual air conditioners. We also have a 50 meter pool, a full gym and lovely garden areas.
My wife Maureen and I(Barry) are retired and spend our winters (Oct thru Mar) in Ixtapa. In the summer months we live on a lake north of Toronto Canada which is also available for exchange. It is truly a fabulous place in the spring, summer, and fall. We have 2 sons and 2 grandchildren. Maureen enjoys Sun Bathing, reading, and Yoga (lots of Yoga sites in Ixtapa). I enjoy golfing, fishing and several artistic hobbies. We both enjoy travelling and entertaining at home.
Ixtapa is the newest of Mexico's tourist areas and is about 12 Kms from Zihuatanejo; a typical mexican city of 50,000 people. Ixtapa (and Zio - our short form for Zihuatanejo) is between Manzanillo and Acapulco. We have fantastic beaches (!5 min walk - 2 min Taxi from Contramar), 2 golf courses, fine dining, great shopping and that is just Ixtapa. A 10 min taxi (50 pesos) ride to Zio you will find much more dining, shopping including the traditional Mexican straw markets, fish, veggies and fruit....all very fresh. also Zio has 2 major general grocery stores where you will find all the ingredients you need to cook at home. In addition, we have all the activities you would expect in a major tourist area; fishing, boating, kayaking, Swim with the Dolphins, night life and much more. A great area with lots to do.
