Ixtapa

We love staying here and have been numerous times. The views from the rooms are all facing the ocean which is so fantastic. The hotel is older and could use some repairs but the staff are constantly keeping all areas clean for visitors.

The hotel is very clean with a simple pool. Rooms are a bit dated but clean. The family suite is a great value but only one separate bedroom with two doubles so there's no privacy for parents. It is at the quieter end of the hotel which is nice. First time to Ixtapa and we'd definitely go back. Easy and safe to walk to restaurants and market. Much nicer than PV

Food was usually on the cold side, breakfast was generally ok but only one toaster, not good. The specialty restaurant Bogarts was absolutely one of the worst meals ever, it was embarrassing. I would not offer this place to eat. The Italian restaurant was so so, not very good.

Great location right on La Ropa. Basic, very clean, a/c worked well, great service at front desk. Not 5 star but all you need for a great vacation. Could use fridge and coffee maker.

The Emporio was disappointing. There were 3 people staying in the room, sometimes we got one face cloth and other times we had to ask for it. The room smelled of mold. There were sand particles on the floor of the room. The food was adequate, but the main dinning room seating had bird poop on every chair. You got one free coffee packet and one free bottled water for the week. The specialty dinning option was very good but you have to book them ahead of time. The staff were great. Most of the lounging chairs had bird poop on them. The beach towels are numbered and have to be signed out. People are allowed to reserve the pool lounges the night before by putting chairs, towels and books on them, but sometimes, you never see the people using them. Good location. Would not stay there again.

I would next time get just the beverages plan and breakfast plan only -NOT ALL INCLUSIVE - but dinner I would go out on the strip-all 10-20 min walk -fun safe experience on the strip - restaurant foods were great and reasonably priced - HOTEL FOOD WAS VERY AUTHENTIC MEXICAN I DID NOT CARE FOR THE BUFFET

The hotel was over capacity. The resort is too small for the amount of people staying there. We never swam in the pool and were unable to get a single chair.
