We want to write to tell you how much we enjoyed our stay at Casa Nautilus in Mismaloya this past May. From the moment we arrived after our trip from Northern California, we knew we would have a truly relaxing, wonderful time. We were gently lulled to sleep by the surf below our balcony, and even more gently coaxed awake as the sun finally crested the mountains to the East. Chouie, your maid, was ready with a fantastic breakfast, with fresh fruit, hot coffee, and a delicious hot meal bursting with local flavors. The guest rooms are very comfortable. With the master suite's wrap around balcony and tub fit for two, it's a welcome retreat from the day's warmth. The living room's appointments are likewise very comfortable and inviting. That's where we enjoyed the US-Mexico soccer match. And the pool? What a treat! Clear, cool, ice-blue water overlooking the Bay of Banderas with a great view of Los Arcos. Simply transporting.

Casa Nautilus's location can't be beat. The convenience of being able to flag the bus to el Centro right outside the door made our trips to town quick and easy (not to mention downright cheap)! We enjoyed the proximity of the beautiful uncrowded beaches at Mismaloya and Boca de Tamatlan, and were easily able to snorkel at Los Arcos and visit the beaches south of Boca, including "Lovers' Cove" (our private water taxi dropped us there for a relaxing hour as we make your way down to to Los Animos). We spent (only!) ten days at Casa Nautilus, and can't wait to go back. We'd likely invite friends for our next trip, but for the time being the thought of spending another quiet week, just the two of us, in Casa Nautilus's corner of paradise will hold us over.
