La Casa que Canta, Ixtapa

A romantic resort

We wanted to visit la Casa que Canta for a while, and last week we had the opportunity to visit and experience it. 

This small luxury hotel in Ixtapa/Zihuatanejo-Mexico, stands ingeniously sculpted on a cliff with magnificent panoramic views.  Built from native materials and decorates with fine hand-crafted Mexican furniture.

La Casa que Canta, “The house that sings” name given for the sound that the sea waves creates with the cliff that surrounds the hotel area.  We were greeted with a wonderful floral arrangement on our bed as well as a couple of shots of tequila.  In its 25 deluxe suites the magnificent view can be appreciated, the suites are very spacious and all decorated with a nice Mexican charm, 11 of which have private pools, definitely the private-pool was the best part of the room.  The wonderful sunset can be enjoyed from the infinity pool which you may recognize from the movie “When a Man Loves a Woman”. The resort has its own sea-water pool and two luxurious residences by the beach – El Murmullo and El Ensueño.The restaurant with its Mexican will surprised you with the great flavors and color of each dish.  We recommend you to try the succulent ceviche (fish or shellfish marinated in lemon or orange juice, onion and Mexican pepper) also try the fresh fruit desserts.

The hotel restaurant Mexican cuisine the hotel restaurant  There are a few stairs, so if you have knee problems, might want to think about it, otherwise we are sure La casa que Canta will achieve all your expectations, in a few days stay it will make you feel younger, with more energy and also will open eyes and the way of appreciate the beautiful views as it did to us.  The privacy and the cozy architecture are the perfect match for a valuable and unforgettable gorgeous time with your soulmate.

Uchi!!

This restaurant serves contemporary American and Japanese cuisine. Like many sushi bars in Japan, Uchi is located in a refurbished old home.The concept of Uchi, is getting people introduce to Japanese food, in using fresh ingredients that are already familiar with, and combining them with unfamiliar to create a delightful taste.  We found it accessible on the customer side where you can eat a sushi roll for $20 dlls or you can spend $800 dlls in a complete meal, the service is first rate, and it also has great drink and wine selection.If you don’t want to order from the menu you can ask the waitress for some suggestions.  I would recommend you to try the “Maguro with Goat cheese” this popular dish made of Slices of tuna combined with chunks of goat cheese and slices of fuji apples with pumpkinseed oil will beat your expectations. For dessert I tried the dark chocolate-almond nougatine, it was delicious.Uchi usually gets full in a short time, we recommend you to make a reservation in advance, and since Uchi doesn’t do reservations past 7:000 pm you might have to chill out a while at bar or outside lounge area.Tyson Cole the owner executive chef will use all his knowledge and techniques to make your dinner at Uchi an amazing experience with great food and artfully presented dishes.

La Havana, Cuba

It’s been a few months now since our latest trip. Myself and a couple of my closest friends try every year to go someplace new with the sole porpoise of  knowing more about people and cultures different to our own. There was no particular reason in choosing Cuba other than taking a break from all the Fast food franchises and famous brand boutiques Read more
