The coconut room has an excellent unobstructed view of the bay with its own small shaded terrace (with no railings)and personal hammock. Having coffee outside or in the breakfast nook was simply wonderful and relaxing. The a/c worked as well as the bathroom and kitchen. Mark has purified water available for you to chill in the refridgerator so you do... more

We are so excited to be making our third trip to Bungalows La Madera this year. This great little place has become our favorite vacation spot. As soon as we get home the planning begins for our next trip. This is the best place we have stayed in all of Mexico and by far the safest, friendliest and cleanest. Mark,... more

A good value for your peso. Also a great location to town, beaches, restaurants, etc. Not a luxury place, but private, comfortable and has a great view. Don't stay here if you like an all inclusive resort. This place has local flavor and Mark was a most amiable host. more

We stayed at Bungalows La Madera for two weeks and truly enjoyed our stay. The bungalows have a beautiful ocean view, well appointed, daily cleaning service and you feel taken care of when you need the assistance. Mark, the manager and his terrific parents are wonderful hosts. The property is secure, quiet, only steps to the beach, walking distance to... more

We found this little jewel of a place through Zihua Rob's website. Checked their archives & found that several people had posted their wonderful experiences there. This clinched it for us, especially after checking out the place's website & talking to the owner. Our bungalow was awesome. The bed was comfy, the amenities (tv, fridge, coffee maker, microwave & blender)... more

We rented three units from Mark and his family for Christmas and New Years 2008. Mark was a stand out when scouting something different than the Hotels on La Madera Beach, love that beach.. The best vibes were from Mark. His command of Spanish and English is a great asset. We handled our reservations via the Internet and then paid... more

Bungalows La Madera is just the best! Our room was perfect, the king sized bed was very comfortable (many beds at other much more expensive properties are cheap mattresses on cement slab and very hard, but this bed was great!) The view and infinity pool overlooking La Madera Beach and Zihuatanejo Bay was stunning . The owner, Mark, is so... more

I cannot say enough about Mark's place, Bungalows La Madera. We had a great time! It is affordable, convenient to el centro and beaches, very clean and comfortable, and you'll meet plenty of friendly locals and tourists alike. It seems everyone in this neighborhood is very laid back, which is something I definitely look for in a vacation. The more... more

I found Bungalows La Madera online through the Zihuatanejo.net site and I feel so lucky for it. I should clarify for other travelers reading this review, I am not an all-inclusive-big-fancy-hotel-keep-away-from-the-locals kind of traveler. I enjoy staying in places that feel more like I am an inhabitant of the locale and not just a tourist. I stayed for 9 nights... more
