Rose:
Sorry about our dusty car in the photo, but that is where we stayed starting March 16th. Your staff were truly wonderful to us. Our Spanish is very poor but we managed quite well.

Cheers,

Hi Rose, Matthew and I just wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed our stay at Arigalan, so much in fact that we ended up staying for 10 days in all! I have posted some pictures of Arigalan in my travel blog and I thought you might like to see them. If you so wish feel free to use the pictures. We feel very fortunate to have found Arigalan quite by chance by tagging along with the Swedish girls that we met on the bus! We will certainly let people know about your little retreat.

Many thanks and Best Wishes

Jill & Matthew

Hola Rose, we had such a great time we hardly have words to describe it. Thank you, thank you and thank you. We had so much fun for 11 straight days. I am so relaxed.......... starting and ending each of these glorious days from the deck of Suite #9, so hard to stay in bed and so hard to go to bed. Large flocks of frigets of some sort, glaring sun, the ocean, the mountains in the distance and not another human being to be seen. Anyway, here I go again.

Mucho mas gracias,
Jeff and Mary Kaye

Last night I was talking to a friend about our time in Mazunte/San Augustinillo. (By the way, as you can probably tell I am a real
ambassador for Posada Arigalan) When I was done telling him about our time there he said "you know you still have a glow on your face from
that vacation" I said "I know I do". So the glow of it all lingers.

Gracias por todo,
Jeff

The website was very useful when I was looking for a place to stay, and the comments of other guests made me decide. (If I didn’t find Arigalan, I would have stayed in a tent on the beach, but when I saw it and I knew the price, I thought it was totally worth it. I love a place that has no pretensions, and is clean and have people that make you feel at home.

Hola Rose,

Thank you for our stay at Arigalan in Mazunte. it was marvelous. As you should know we stayed one night longer. We enjoyed the apartment and especially the sea view from it. The weather was quite good during our stay and we enjoyed Mazunte and neighbouring places, and especially the food. AND, we want to come back there in one year! I am going to spread the word about your place among some people I know here in Poland so that they could come to Arigalan, as well. I took some photos of the place in order to show how beautiful it is.

Hola Rose, what a special treat to wake up this Christmas morning in beautiful, sunny Mazunte and especially Posada Arigalan. It almost beat out our anniversary of a few days ago, which as you know, we also celebrated at Arigalan. What an absolute dream to awake to the sun filtering through the gauze curtains on the French doors leading on to the patio with it huge vistas of the ocean lapping on the beach, giant seabirds soaring overhead, the cool sea breeze cooling our skin, the palm trees swaying, the mountains looming majestically in the distance. Posada Arigalan is truly a slice of heaven.

Con mucho amor y la paz,

Bill and Barbara

Hola Rose,

I can't tell you how hard it was to leave Arigalan, but now the next stage of our adventure has begun. As soon as we get home, I'm going to check my calendar and book for next Christmas vacation!

Happy New Year!

Dear Rose,

I've been meaning to get back to you earlier but I got so caught up in work again!!

Chris and I had a fantistic time at Posado Arigalan due to the following factors

1. The Posada is a gorgeous building with breathtaking views of the pacific, excellent value for money for a double room with AC. It would cost three
times as much in somehere like Spain.

2. Enrique and Janet are very warm friendly and made us feel very at home

3. Mazunte is paradise with its beautiful very very quiet beach- did not hear an english accent all the time we were there . Which believe me is
very rare!

4. Very chilled night life which involved sitting around drinking Sol and staring at the sea. Nina the dog!!! who who made sure that I did not keep falling down the
steps!

Please send our regards to your brother Jose who is a wonderful friendly person.

Hi Rose,

We have returned to our cold Vermont winter but with a great feeling from our recent stay at Posada Arigalan. We truly had a wonderful time! Your staff could not have been more helpful or gracious. The San Augustinillo beach was perfect for us and we enjoyed hanging out and eating at Mexico Lindo virtually everyday. Number 9 was heaven and I'm sorry that it is not available for next year at the same time. Please let me know if there are any changes in its status for this time period.

Kindest regards,
Pala and Karl

Dear Rose,
We loved our stay at your wonderful Arigalan! Even though our winter has not yet been harsh, we are all still dreaming of Mazunte and San Augustinillo almost every day. Suites 9 and 7 were perfect for our family. The views from the outdoor living areas were breathtaking. From that vantage point, we marveled at the frigates flying at eye level and of course at the amazing view of the coast, that seemed to go on forever. The spectacular sunrises were the best ! We are looking forward to another visit very soon. Thanks for sharing such a jewel!

I adjusted quite well to not having hot water, but my daughter was a bit uncomfortable. I have an idea for you, Rose, about shampoo, etc. My travel size shampoo ran out after the first day or so, but we had heard about the Natural Cosmetic factory in Mazunte and visited there. I bought a sampler pack of all of their products and really like them. They sell travel sizes and have travel-size shampoo for instance packaged in packs of 6 or 7. My idea for you is that you speak to them about promoting their products so that you can buy discounted (or perhaps free) trial-size shampoo, conditioner, body wash (all or 1). You could put a card in the rooms describing the products and where the guest can buy more.. Only leave 1 per stay and send the business to the store. I know your guests would appreciate it and the cosmetic store would get free publicity and more business.

Now for the big question.... do you rent for extended periods of time, like a month or two? We are getting pretty close to retirement age and continue to dream of spending at least some of our year in the Mazunte area once we do retire, and we certainly didn't see another place with such spectacular views and charm. Thanks again, Rose. I'll send the pictures as soon as I can (we have been having some major computer problems lately). One in particular will be for a guy that Enrique probably knows, Juan, who was one of our guided on the turtle boat that Enrique arranged for us. It is a great picture of Juan with a very large fish that he caught along the way.

My Best,

Hola Rose,

We really enjoyed the view from our room, kindness of your staff, also the lovely cat and dog during our stay at Arigalan. The cleanliness and beautifull flowers, wonderful sunrise and sunset linger in our memory. That's why we are going to come back next year with our friends.

Also, it was great for us to meet Bill and Barbara during our stay. They are such a great people and it was one the high light of our trip. We hope to meet you again some day, Rose.

Thank you for everything,
