“Lazy Daze”

Casa Frida B&B

2 of 5 stars
Redwood City, CA
Apr 20, 2008

The owners, Francois and Anabella, were the very best hosts! If you love Frida Kahlo, you will enjoy this warm, cozy B&B, and enjoy stories about Frida and Diego and even see movies about Frida. The owners plan to rebuild down on the beachfront and that will be a wonderful spot and much quieter during busy times.

Don't go during Easter break as the Mexican families come in hordes to the beach. Made it crowded and noisy at night. Our room could have been visited daily by the maid but was not.

The B&B is actually 16 miles south of Zihuatenajo so getting there isn't easy ($ 56 from the airport in a union cab and $25 cab ride each way to Zihuat). Restaurant (1) not that great but the meal cooked by Anabella was wonderful! We ended up going into "the village" and finding taco stands and homes that open up and cook for visitors. A wonderful experience eating the local fair.

If you want a lazy vacation with plenty of hammock and beach time, punctuated by dips in the ocean or pool, this is it!

“The Best Experience on Mexico's Pacific Coast”

Casa Frida B&B

5 of 5 stars
Washington State
Apr 14, 2008

This was our second visit to Casa Frida and will not be our last. Anabella and Francois treated us like family. Jorge and Maria gave all of us such incredible service in all areas. Barra de Potosi is a wonderful destination and there are several nice accomodations, but the best place to stay on the Coast is Casa Frida. The open air rooms, the fabulous courtyard, the excellent breakfast...and just steps to one of the most beautiful beaches one could ever encounter. We can't wait to return.

“Wonderful people and hospitality”

Casa Frida B&B

1/1 found this review helpful

Francois and Anabella are wonderful people. They are very hands on and very responsive to help you in any way possible. We were fortunate that some of their family visited when we were there and enjoyed meeting them very much.

Jorge and Maria who work there and provide great service were very nice and most accomodating. Jorge was there to help you and prepare snacks whenever you wanted them.

Anabella prepared a wonderful meal for all of us one evening.

We enjoyed our stay there very much.

“We love Casa Frida!”

Casa Frida B&B

5 of 5 stars
Seattle, WA
Feb 20, 2008

We loved Casa Frida in Barra de Potosi. We spent the last 3 nights of our vacation there and couldn't have been happier. The rooms were amazing, beautifully decorated and we were well looked after by Anabella, Francoise, Jorge and Maria. If you want to find something a little off the beaten path, yet close to Zihuatanejo, this would be the place to go. Great food, good swimming and a welcoming atmosphere. Be sure to take a kayak trip around the lagoon to see all the birds and fishermen at work.
