Just what we needed

This is a splendid place to unwind after staying near the noise and activity of PV. We had 2 nights and didn't want to leave. Nice weather in March provided warm day and good sleeping temps. Beds are comfortable (on firm side). Kitchen is well stocked with everything we needed. We caught our own fish from shore and cooked them. You can hike to the small fishing town to the south for supplies or have dinner at the Sunset. It seemed like about a 2 mile hike, steep at times. Note that for us, the water taxi goes only once per day, leaving Boca de Tomatlan at 9AM. And arrange for them to pick you up on your departure day so they know to go to Los Chonchos. Price is now 350 pesos per person each way, which was more than we expected, but totally worth it so that we could access this amazing place.

Amazing...

Similar to many of the other reviews, this is not for everyone, but for those it is, you never want to leave. I stayed 6-nights and truly felt as though I could live there. Few comments: - The Water Taxi from Boca: As previously reported it's called Al Nayli and has the words WATER TAXI written on the side. As of May 2023, the fee from Boca to Los Chonchos is 250 pesos/one way. If going all the way to Chimo, it's 300 pesos/one way and THEN another 30 pesos/one way for the little row boat to row you to shore from the Water Taxi. - Hike from Los Chonchos to Chimo: It's a tough hike. I'm fit, in my 40's and I had to stop multiple times to take a breather. Some tips - bring or fashion a hiking stick/pole, it's a must have, as the the up hill sections can be a bit dirt slick. Bring water and a back-pack to pick up supplies. 100% stop at Arturo's!! Arturo, Louisa, and their daughter Ulya (Julia) are so friendly the food is delicious. The largest store is just up the road from Arturo's. Casa Zadro: It is just as the pictures depict. As you're looking at the beach where the taxi drops you, Casa Zadro is to the left, and juts out further than any other palapas, which is super nice. There is a fridge/freezer, no ice, but does have the plastic reusable cubes of ice (not very cold, but better than nothing). Josefat, who will meet you when you arrive is happy to bring ice to you (tip well, he's walking it from Chimo) if you forget to pick some up, you won't get it till the following day. I used the stove to make meals, worked great. Spice wise, there is a lot of salt, but I'd plan to bring any other spices you might want. Similar to others, def stop in PV to get your food/drink supplies. Meat is not as easy to come buy especially in Boca and Chimo, you can fish off the beach and catch fish daily, but if you want beef/chicken/pork you're going to need to bring it with, along with veg, fruit, and all drinks (beer, alcohol, mixers, etc...). ATM: The closest ATM is by local bus (10 pesos) and is the next town down from Boca called Mismaloya. The bus runs every 20 mins and is super easy to use. Take it there and take it back, then hang in Boca till the afternoon Water Taxi will take you back to Los Chonchos/Chimo at 1500pm. Land Crabs - who knew, I didn't...lol, they are EVERYWHERE, they won't bother you, but they can get into your palapa, so if you hear scratching at night, know's it's them. Have fun and enjoy!! I know I did!

Great place to relax

This was a great place to unwind after a running race in PV. The house itself was perfect, totally open-aired with great sunset view and set high on a hillside. The hike to Chimo was relaxing, and I think a pleasant surprise was the snorkeling gear, which let me see how much exotic sea life is just under the water's surface.

Indescribable, in the best way

We’ve never loved a vacation more than this one. We were looking for a week away from the busy-ness of life and Los Chonchos provided! We loved the beaches, hikes to Chimo, whale watching from the deck, star gazing,, sleeping to the sound of the ocean, the jungle, the water taxi rides, all of it! We weren’t able to get off the water taxi in Los Chonchos which made us a little nervous but it all worked out with the help of Daniel and a burro. We loved Chimo too - such kind people. Casa Zadro was even better than described! Be sure to take plenty of food , and pesos - (the burro cost 500 pesos, tip money, and you’ll want to get something to eat/drink in Chimo.) We loved it so much that we’re already figuring out when we can go back!
