Hi, private plunge pool in every room.
The hotel has 50 rooms, which is such a nice, intimate size, while being able to maintain the amenities of a larger resort. Even with 2/3 of the rooms occupied during our stay, we rarely saw another guest. In our book that makes for an incredibly special and relaxing vacation and it’s a major perk of Cala de Mar. It’s quiet, secluded, beautiful, and the service was friendly and professional and kind. Plus, those rooms!

And the architectural details (blushy archways FTW) were so lovely and authentic to Mexico while still feeling modern and instagrammy.

On our way to dinner the first night… so ready for a mezcal cocktail! They take their mezcal service v. seriously at Cala, btw. We were treated to a full Mezcal tasting during cocktail hour and it was so interesting trying different varieties with different salts and fruits.
We took A LOT of sunset photos.

Our second day we went shopping for lunch ingredients with Chef Mario Castro to the mercados in the old part of Zihuatanejo, in preparation for our cooking class at the hotel.

Fresh coconut water, yes pls.

Then onto some very serious pool and spa time for the remainder of the afternoon. Very rough times.

See what we mean" Pool = empty and PERFECT. But don’t worry, they do offer icy cold cocktail service poolside. Bring a good book and settle in for actual relaxation when you come.

It really doesn’t get blushier than this place.

It is has ...
