Hi, I am Stasya aka La Rusa. I am the owner of this small magical hotel and I will be thrilled to welcome you here. Here you will have a real experience of Barra de Potosi , Mexico, knowing our marine and wildlife, artisans, our gastronomy, our village and our people!

Hacienda La Rusa is a beautiful small hotel. It has the owners house and 7 comfortable and charming guests rooms, terraces, patios, dining and breakfast areas, 2 swimming pools and a magical tropical garden; the property is completely walled in for privacy and security. Hacienda la Rusa is located at the entrance to Barra de Potosi on the right beach side. There is only a restaurant between us and the beach. The rhythms of our hotel revolve around peace, zen, happiness, animal rescue & welfare and green practices.

Barra de Potosi, with its beach Playa Blanca, sits on the Pacific Coast of Mexico 30 minutes south and a world away from the major resort city of Ixtapa - Zihuatanejo. This is not a typical resort area; there are no high-rise condos, no yacht harbor, no golf course. Barra de Potosi is an amazingly laid back village of about 500 residents, mostly fishermen, craftsman, coconut workers, rancheros and a few dozen expats. It is simple and authentic, with 3 streets and a couple of small stores; truly the right place for a visitor with a taste for a cultural adventure and untouched natural beauty. Barra de Potosi has everything for a fun vacation – bird watching tours, whale watching tours, deep see fishing, horse riding, kayaking, jungle tours, snorkeling, surfing classes, etc The beach is 10 miles long, empty through most of the year (holidays are very crowded and noisy) and perfect for swimming, jogging and walking. Exercise caution when swimming in the ocean! Lagoon, on the other side, is absolutely safe even for kids to swim.
