Our exclusive oceanfront boutique hotel and yoga retreat is situated on a quiet, serene beach in Troncones, thirty minutes up the coast from Ixtapa, Zihuatanejo, Mexico. Restore in a gorgeous setting with wellness classes, yoga by the sea, meditation, qigong, dance classes and more. Rejuvenate with our offerings of spa treatments and healing arts. Dine on healthy gourmet cuisine. Take in the local adventures such as sunset horseback riding, eco tours, waterfall hiking, kayaking, surf-yoga excursions, surf lessons, shopping in our boutique, exploring the village and much more. Our loving staff have pleased even the most discerning guests, and are ready to delight you. Our eleven private bungalows are the perfect antidote to the chaos of everyday life. Each unique bungalow is dedicated to one of the values that we hold in the highest regard. Authenticity was imperative in the construction of every inch of Present Moment. Thus, all bungalows have an indigenous palapa thatched roof, hand-crafted in the Mexican tradition, and are furnished with a pillow top queen-sized bed, luxurious 400 count cotton bedding and a canopy of white linen.

This boutique hotel and yoga retreat is wonderful. Manager Yazmin, is so welcoming and helpful. The grounds are beautiful. Whoever laid out the property invested much time & dinero to make it stunning. Some of the prettiest gardens and landscaping, bar none. Management is happy to arrange taxi service from airport and there is a taxi stand just outside hotel for local excursions, for me surfing and fishing. They also offer all standard boutique amenities yoga, massage and full service restaurant open 8am - 9pm daily. The restaurant is also five star, unless you don't love fresh ingredients and Mexican food. I enjoyed shrimp and dorado (mahi) tacos each day. It was delicious. The rooms vary in privacy and amenities. I went with the basic open air casita. I loved it. Some may not like a little less privacy than typical four walls, window with curtains provide. For those seeking more privacy and AC, get the larger more expensive suites, they also have that. Troncones is a very mellow little Mexican beach town. It is not a hopping place. If you prefer that, maybe go to Ixtapa nearby. This is a place to go chill and enjoy paradise and really good fresh food with great service.

Dear Present Moment, thank you for a blissful retreat. I spent 10-days with my mother at PM last month. I went looking to completely detox the cortisol from my body and spirit. Present Moment was able to deliver. It was a true delight and I highly recommend. I woke every morning for meditation, then either a long walk or yoga, followed by a delicious breakfast overlooking the ocean. Relaxed by the pool, swimming and snacking, until afternoon yoga. Another long walk that often included seeing baby turtles being released into the ocean, then gorgeous sunsets sinking into the waves every evening. We followed live music each evening at different restaurants nearby for dinner, as well as dinner and live music at Present Moment. The best thing about Present Moment is the staff: Yalina, Yazmin, Onivar, Ricardo, Tomas, & Efram. They each made each day shine with kindness, attentiveness, generosity, and true welcome. I was also blessed with incredible body & energy work from Tania-what a gift she is. And of course the yogi/meditation guides: Miranda, Carmina, Maria and Darya (Chi Gong too!) each unique and talented. We made good friends, that I hope to see next year : )

My husband and I had a massage in the cabanas on the beach. So relaxing. Great massages and wonderful to hear the waves crashing in the background. We also ate dinner here on Friday when they have live music. The band Hoja Santa was playing and they were really good. We shared an appetizer and two types of tacos - pork and fish. We would definitely go back. Good service by the staff also.

While I highly doubt that you're a 'dumblonde'...very funny blonde is more accurate...I do love your sense of humor...hehehehehe. We sincerely appreciate your kind and thoughtful words, amiga, regarding the heavenly massage services, delicious food and heartfelt live music that is so proudly shared. Please feel free to join us often when you're in Troncones or better yet, rent one of our beautiful, private ocean view bungalows for a full week and really receive the royal treatment. Blessings and be well until then.

A combination yoga retreat and beach vacation in paradise. Warm, welcoming staff, yoga, massage, beach, eat, drink, sleep plus many local adventures. Rinse and repeat. You MUST have a massage with Miranda. I had two. They were tied for the best massages of my life. Magical combination of therapeutic and relaxing. She is amazing!

If you are looking for a place to recharge and relax—this is it. Meditate, do yoga, chill at the pool , walk on the beach. The bungalows are elegantly rustic, with everything you need. The on-site restaurant has great food and the staff (Efram, Oniver and Thomas) will take good care of you. Yoga and massages were excellent.

Adding to the many many great reviews here. I spent 5 days at Present Moment in an AC Room. The room was comfortable and well appointed, the bed super cozy and the shower was great. The staff was stellar across the board - so friendly and personable - big thanks to Tom, Yalina, the amazing team in the restaurant, groundskeepers and housekeeping. I had several incredible massages, I'd highly recommend Monica and Miranda. You can't beat the proximity to the beach - literally right out the back door. Also some great little restaurants and shops on the same street, if you want to venture out. Overall a great stay that I'd love to repeat.

This was my first yoga retreat! I was invited by and participated in Nicole Cronin's 10 year anniversary yoga retreat w/ co-host & licensed pelvic floor occupational therapist, Marlene Handler. Nicole is a superior instructor with a wealth of yogic knowledge. Her yoga practice is driven by the heart. She is based in the San Francisco Bay Area. Her profound story is one of life, loss, and love. Marlene, has an important and needed niche, and she can be found in NYC, NY. Present Moment Retreat was magical and perfect in everyway. I left my comfortable reality to get uncomfortable, and to discover aspects of myself that were asleep. I awaken them here at Present Moment with Nic and the 9 lovely and intelligent women that came together in light and love. From the local and scared ceremonies, to massage therapy, hiking, kayaking, and daily yoga practice, they were all apart of the journey within. Thank you to all the staff who prepared the most delicious meals and smoothies. Your service is impeccable. My body, mind, and soul, thank you! The atmosphere was always clean and friendly. The sunrise and sunsets are beautiful reminders of the many blessing life has to offer and how amazingly abundant life is on earth. Heaven is within and among us. Let us together share the love and joy that we wish to see in the world. I am so grateful for this experience. Cheers to Present Moment Retreat!
