The casitas are clustered around Casa Gomez Club House with its pool, lounge chairs and restaurant serving flavorful Mexican dishes for breakfast, lunch and dinner, creating a permanent safari-style atmosphere. Its long bar is a great meeting place to swap stories at the end of the day and a pool table competes for attention with a comfy lounge, large fireplace and screened porches.

Sitting on a soft hillside with lovely views across treetops, plains and the river, there’s no denying the feel here heeds more towards African plains than Mexican mountains. The tranquility is arresting and once the eye has taken in the interior details the mind slips gently into deep relaxation mode and is astonished at the abundance of the surrounding nature.

Two and three-bedroom casitas enjoy a well-proportioned sitting/dining room with an ample screened terrace. A background of spotless whites pays perfect homage to copious brilliant fabrics, honoring the highpoint of Mexican handicrafts with colorful pillows, throws, covers and wall hangings, not to mention the inspiring collection of ceramics.
