Every room at Zaashila has a wonderful view of the ocean, and all have a private terrace or balcony on which to enjoy this serene outlook. A clever layout means that guests won't have to walk too far to the main facilities, even though the grounds are expansive. All of the Deluxe and Club Rooms are by the pool and beach. The one and two bedroom suites enjoy elevated views a little further up the hillside, with steps leading down to the restaurant and pool.

Although the accommodations are built in blocks of three stories, the grounds are terraced so that you generally only have to climb up or down one flight of stairs to reach your room. Camino Real Club Rooms are on the lower level and have a private plunge pool accessed from their terrace. Deluxe Rooms are on the upper two levels, with ocean view balconies.

The temptations of the huge swimming pool and beautiful beach mean that you'll probably spend very little time in your room. Still, it is nice to know that your quarters will be very spacious and airy, with cool tile floors and very efficient air conditioning.

All rooms are well equipped with satellite televisions, direct dial telephones, servibars and hairdryers.

Bathrooms are very generously sized, with large double vanity unit and tub with shower unit above. The excellent lighting and abundance of large mirrors makes getting ready for magical Mexican evenings all the more inviting.

We're usually more than satisfied with the Deluxe and Club Rooms, though we'd recommend the one and two bedroom suites for families seeking apartment style accommodations.
