We (thankfully) stayed here after staying at Danza del Sol the previous weekend. NIGHT AND DAY if you are American and used to American standards of cleanliness and comfort--and for a lot less cost. The hosts are gracious, the rooms are clean and quiet, the salt-water pool is heavenly, the breakfast is terrific--at this altitude the only meal we needed except for dinner--which is a shame given all the nice places to eat within walking distance. I booked it just by walking by and ringing the bell. Very safe and secure. Do not stay anywhere else in Ajijic. You won't be as happy with the stay.

We stayed at the Casa Del Sol for 5 nights at the end of May and had the best time. The Location was perfect, walking distance to everything – many wonderful restaurants; 2 blocks from the center of Ajijic; 6 blocks from trails into the beautiful mountains. There was no need for a car.

The Inn was perfect, from our beautiful and very comfortable room (great bed!), to the mirador where we sat with our coffee and watched the sun rise over the lake, mountains and village at the very civilized hour of 7:15 AM. Even better than the sunrises were the Margaritas around the pool in the evening (Kudos to Lindon, the chef and bartender!)! But, I can’t forget the delicious breakfasts with wonderful muffins and a great selection of breakfast treats.

It was our first visit to Ajijic, and Cathy, the owner, was very helpful with our many questions. We love hiking and birding and she gave us great suggestions (great birding around the lake, just 2 blocks from the Inn). She made our stay very special and we will be back!

  • Liked — The beautiful accomodations, pool, food, Margaritas, everything!

I have just returned from a 7-day stay at the Casa del Sol Inn in Ajijic on the shores of Lake Chapala and am pleased to be the first to write a review. The accommodations at the Inn, which was recently refurbished, were absolutely beautiful in the colonial Mexican style. All rooms ( I stayed in 2 different ones and looked in on 2 more) were furnished with luxurious linens and top of the line mattresses and pillows,which were so comfortable. The innkeeper/owner, Cathy, was the consummate hostess. She provided a delicious breakfast which included fresh fruit, homemade muffins, a daily chef's special, cereals, and eggs any style, with a choice of side dishes and plenty of coffee. The ambiance was welcoming and friendly with a daily poolside gathering of guests hosted by Cathy. But, there is no lack of privacy if that is what you are looking for and plenty of time to visit with other guests if you prefer. Cathy is very helpful when it comes to suggestions for dining out or making arrangements for sightseeing. Its closeness to the center of town, shopping, and restaurants make the Casa del Sol the ideal location for exploring Ajijic and all it has to offer. I would highly recommend the Casa del Sol to the single traveler or couples looking for a beautiful oasis with comfort and amenities to please even the most demanding guest.
