Solecito is a lush private setting on Playa Blanca, near Zihuatanejo. The ten casitas are small houses, with kitchen, porch, hammock, and at the beach, which has plenty of palapas for lounging. The grounds are impeccable, as is the pool. As this is an adult-only facility, the pool is a quiet, restful setting. There is internet provided, and the onsite restaurant is one of the better along the beach. I could easily spend most of a morning at breakfast as the view is breathtaking and the fresh juices, fruit plates, fresh breads, and main dishes are hard to leave. It is 10 minutes from the airport, but has no noise at all. It is also a short walk to the small village of Potosi, which has many beachfront empanadas to choose from, a few small stores and a fruit stand. The beach, Playa Blanca, is within a broad embayment, so it is partially sheltered from the Pacific waves. The southern end is more sheltered by Guamilule, a small mountain projecting seaward. Swimming is remarkable, as the Pacific water is so warm. Playa Blanca is also less than 1/2 hour from Zihuatanejo, a medium-sized city with an Old Town near the waterfront, beaches, shops, and a local fishing fleet that lands on the beach each morning. You can buy fresh fish from the fisherman, or at the Mercado, which has everything you could want, including bountiful fish. As it seems most people know, the most famous thing that ever happened in Zihuatanejo never happened: It's where Tim Robbins and Morgan Freeman escaped to in the movie, Shawshank Redemption, a cult classic. In the movie it was where you could go to and never be found. It's progressed a bit from then, but still is a remote area with modern airport connections. It seems that most visitors go north of Zihua to Ixtapa, which is a strip of large hotels on the beach. This is a blessing, as most are not aware of Playa Blanca, which is the real jewel.
