The possibilities are endless when you exchange your wedding vows on the deck of La Casa que Canta's spectacular infinity pool. Or get a little bit closer to nature and say your I do's on the deck of the resort's free-form saltwater pool carved into the cliffs just a few feet above the crashing tide of Zihuatanejo Bay on Mexico's Pacific coast.

La Casa que Canta translates to "the house that sings." And it does. Set on a promontory overlooking the bay, the multi-tiered La Casa que Canta calls to mind a series of hanging gardens sprouting from the rocky cliffs. The open-style design - constructed without glass or metal - allows the warm Mexican breeze that carries the song of the sea to move freely throuh the structure.

Jacques and Yvonne Baldassari had been vacationing in and around the quaint Mexican fishing village of Zihuatanejo for 15 years when they decided to design and build La Casa que Canta. The Mexico City couple wanted to create a retreat that would reflect the beauty and tranquillity of its setting. They succeeded. The idyllic hotel feature just 24 terra-cotta suites. While the thatch-roofed accommodations aren't plush, they are simple in a romantically elegant way. Fixtures include hand-crafted furniture, sculptures, and pottery.

The most romantic feature, though, may well be the most fleeting. Housekeepers carrying baskets overflowing with fragrant flower petals visit guestrooms each evening where they decorate bedspreads with enchanting floral designs. A colorful geometric pattern one evening. A fanciful butterfly the next. The possibilities are endless.
