This is Paradise
"This was an amazing experience and truly made our wedding perfect. Our family was in awe of this entire experience. This is paradise and I cannot wait to come back. This place is very special to us now. The staff are all genuinely great people. They really spoiled us. The service and food were all amazing. My brother and his girlfriend are chefs in a Michelin star-rated restaurant, and they could not stop raving about the food. Everyone and everything was fantastic. I would stay forever! Thank you to everyone at Casa del Arbol for an amazing experience."

Five Year Anniversary
"We’ve stayed at La Casa Que Canta, El Murmullo and Amuleto in the last five years; all very nice places. But this place has such a home feeling and beautiful surroundings which made our five year anniversary very special. Thank you for the many recommendations and the help arranging our four-day rendezvous. The food, music and venue were perfect. We all enjoyed our stay very much and look forward to our next visit at Casa del Arbol."

Paradise Wedding
"
My husband and I agree that having our wedding at Casa del Arbol was more than just getting married at a beautiful house in an amazing location. From our initial discussion, the planning for our wedding went more smoothly than we could have asked for. Casa del Arbol's owners and staff were able to provide a great range of food, decor, and entertainment options as well as incorporate the elements of personal taste and style that every bride wants in order to make her wedding unique.
At Casa del Arbol, the staff was very friendly and accommodating. Our wedding coordinator as well as her assistant were especially warm, friendly, and easy to communicate with. The wedding day went off without a hitch - events occurred as scheduled, ambiance was perfect, and food was very delicious and well presented! We have received extremely positive feedback from our family and wedding guests and many have noted that our wedding was one of the most beautiful weddings they've ever been to!
Thank you for making my paradise wedding absolutely PERFECT!

Beautiful
"I want to tell you ‘Thank you’ again, for making our wedding day perfect. I've been watching these bridal tv shows recently, and I can't believe the headaches that other brides go through! I feel so lucky to have had everything taken care of, and not worry about a thing! We just got the wedding video and it reminds me just how beautiful everything was. It was so much fun, I want to do it all over again."

A Hidden Gem
"Zihuatanejo is a very romantic, small town. This area of Mexico was the perfect destination we were searching for for our wedding. All our guests that came for our wedding found Zihuatanejo an absolute hidden gem full of great food, unbelievable views and a serene atmosphere.
Casa del Arbol was our inspiration to get married in Zihuatanejo. I found photos of a wedding at Casa del Arbol and knew that we had to get married here. Staying at Casa del Arbol is an experience like no other. We have traveled all over the world and have never had an experience close to this one. Having the entire villa to ourselves with a staff ready and waiting for us is better than checking into any 5 star hotel/resort any where in the world.
For our wedding, my family and a few of my bridesmaids stayed at Casa del Arbol with me. They were blown away! My bridesmaids and I were able to get ready at the house the day of the wedding, we had our make-up and hair done as we were over looking the bay, it was perfect!! The pictures are breathtaking!"

Top Notch
"The house itself is absolutely magical. A beautiful tree house oasis with a fantastic pool, gardens and all the amenities you could want. The attention to detail and the decor are better than a 5 star resort. Additionally, the staff is wonderful; friendly, efficient but unobtrusive, and the management team is attentive and easy to work with. Top notch!"

Absolutely Perfect
"We had such a wonderful time at Casa Del Arbol! Everything was absolutely perfect. The staff took amazing care of us. All of our guests raved about the house, the food, the drinks, and the service and many inquired about renting the house in the future.
Thanks again for everything. It was a truly special experience for us!"

Stunningly Superior
"I never write emails like this. When I plan either a vacation or an event, I feel that the people I am dealing with can and will perform in the manner they have promised, and that such performance, like all other work product, should not come as a shocking surprise. However, your location, your house and your staff are so stunningly superior to anything that I could have expected that I cannot let my appreciation and gratitude go unexpressed. I have planned a lot of venued family gatherings over the years, and have almost always been very pleased with the locations and facilities. However, as should be with these types of events, the actual gathering of the family has always been the cornerstone of the event. While the wedding of my daughter will always be foremost in my memories of this past week, it just seems inconceivable at this point that the event could have been anywhere else - the house so intertwined itself into the our lives and the experience. I know that when Zoraida returns from her honeymoon that she will be writing to thank you as well, but I wanted to tell you immediately how grateful I am to you and all others involved under your direction for the suggestions and assistance which led to a memorable time for all involved. Thank you again."

Intimate, Elegant and Relaxed
"I'm not sure where to even begin - I guess thank you is the best place to start! Our wedding at Casa del Arbol was more wonderful then we ever hoped! The house and its views were a stunning backdrop and perfectly complimented the intimate, elegant, and relaxed atmosphere we envisioned. Our guests were thanking US throughout the night for sharing this magical place with them.
ALL the vendors were professional, on time, invisible yet present, and truly delightful. To quote our guests, "this is the wedding no one will ever forget." Our guests came to Zihua to celebrate our wedding, but I think each of them left personally touched and with their own beautiful memories.
The wedding of course was the pinnacle of our stay, but truly - the entire 4 days were unforgettable. Your staff is fantastic and always professional. I continuously marveled how immaculate they maintain the property - we didn't encounter a single insect, inside or out! We all felt completely at peace and everyone agreed we will be returning. Your home is an unforgettable, special place. The photos will be beautiful, but they cannot capture the property's true essence... Casa del Arbol is an experience in itself. You must visit to truly understand.
With that, thank you so much for all you have done to help coordinate our event and a huge thank you to your staff for our making us so comfortable and at ease from the moment we arrived.
Jose and I cannot wait to return!"

Gorgeous!

Good for the Soul
"On November 11, 2006, we celebrated our wedding in Zihuatanejo. We could not have dreamed or imagined the day being more magical or perfect. From the moment we entered Casa del Arbol, we never once stopped smiling.
No words or pictures could ever capture the beauty of this magnificent home. It is a place unlike any that you will ever see. It is truly a treehouse; a house that celebrates the outdoors, the bay of Zihuatanejo and its native plants.
We were married on Playa la Ropa and continued our celebration at Casa del Arbol. Every guest gasped at how amazing the house was, and many expressed a need to return to Zihuatanejo just to stay at Casa Del Arbol.
The staff was wonderful, the home indescribable, and the stay was good for the soul. This experience brought strangers together and made them friends. We've never been more relaxed or at peace... it was an event that no one will ever forget... we've embraced the house as our own. We will return."

Indescribable Panoramic Views
"For five memorable days, Casa del Arbol was the setting for our son and
daughter-in-law's wedding activities and their 45 guests. Everyday at Casa del Arbol was spent entertaining in the magnificent open air living room, gathering around the infinity pool or just simply relaxing and viewing the indescribable panoramic views of Z's harbor.
The setting couldn't have been more romantic - a most unique "Treehouse" designed from native woods, iron, rock, lush gardens, multiple fountains, bedrooms with beautiful views and ocean breezes, and a very professionally trained staff, making a wedding never to be forgotten. Casa del Arbol was the perfect place for Mike and Sarah to share 5 days of the most important time of their lives in a truly indefinable atmosphere with family and friends."
