Being centrally located right in the middle of Playa la Ropa, Alánamar at La Casa Que Ve al Mar enjoys having nearby villas, bed & breakfasts, and inns just a few steps and in some cases a few blocks away. If we can not accommodate your schedule on this trip we can refer you to one or more of these similar high quality establishments. Hotel Villa del Sol recently sold and renamed "The Tides", is perhaps the best known and most up scale resort community on Playa la Ropa and it is just a three minute walk from Alánamar at La Casa Que Ve al Mar. Located on the sand with pools, tennis courts, and well appointed rooms, this low rise hotel offers the intimate atmosphere and service commensurate with the finest 5 star hotels.

Just north of La Casa Que Canta is Villa Guadalupe which is a charming seven unit bed and breakfast perched on the hillside straddling Playas La Madera and La Ropa. Here they offer one and two bedroom spaces-some with private pools-some with kitchens-all with spectacular views out to Playa La Madera and Playa Principal. There is a magnificant common area midway down the hillside with a bar and pool. This is one of my personal favorites to accommodate extra guests and to sneak away for a night or two with my lovely wife, Susan.

Amuleto is a small five suite facility located at the very end of La Ropa and up on the hill. Newly constructed and designed by Enrique Zozaya, it offers deluxe accommodations and service with a degree of privacy similar to that of Alánamar at La Casa Que Ve al Mar.

La Casa Cuitlateca lies just a few hundred yards north of our condo and features four deluxe rooms, a small pool and a restaurant. Intimate service and stupendous sun sets are to be counted on. Fairly newly built, it sits at possibly the highest point on the hill above La Ropa. Rojelio and his lovely wife will see to your every need. And the Margaritas served here are to write home about!

Across the main road on your way to the beach are four small bed & breakfast type facilities, some of which have modest cooking opportunities. First in line is La Quinta Troppo followed by Villa Luz, the Villa Mimosa, and finally Villa Carolina which is in our opinion one of the most romantic inns near the beach.

Last but certainly not least on our recommended list is La Casa Que Canta, the house that sings! This is a small, maybe 20 deluxe rooms, and just a few blocks north of us and a bit south of La Casa Cuitlateca. It lies on the hill between the main road and the point separating La Ropa from Playa la Madera just perhaps five minutes on foot from our condo. The pools and restaurant are spectacular. You might even want to plan to enjoy dinner there but call ahead for reservations.
