Holiday Inn Resort Ixtapa All-Inclusive
4.1/5104 Reviews
Last month, my wife and I traveled together. Checking in was straightforward, and while our first room was nice, the air conditioning wasn't working. We switched rooms the next night and found a cooler one on a lower floor, but it seems like the higher rooms (excluding those in the tower) all have this issue. The food and drinks were decent but we definitely have had way better at other resorts. We were surprised that they didn't offer mojitos, mango margaritas, or dirty monkeys like we've had at other resorts. There was a huge influx of Mexican locals at the hotel on both weekends we were there. Speaking to one family they told me the hotel offers a super cheap deal to locals for weekends to fill the hotel. And it was full! It cleared out significantly from Monday to Thursday. During those days, they even closed one of the restaurants for breakfast and lunch. The two pools are shallow. I’m not tall by any means and the one with the pool bar didn’t even go to the bottom of my shorts. There were only about 30 other English-speaking guests in the whole resort during our stay (no exaggeration) and we noticed most of the staff struggled to communicate in English. We could have found lots that we didn’t like about this resort but it’s what you make it. You definitely can find nicer resorts but the beach, ocean and weather in Ixtapa is amazing. The location of this hotel is fantastic, with plenty of shops and restaurants right across the street to explore after a day of sun and sand.
Arena Suites
4.3/534 Reviews
We had a standard room and it was perfectly good as we wanted to spend time exploring the town and enjoying the beach. The room was ideal in that it was spacious, had its own bathroom and kitchen area. As we ate out all the time the kitchen was only used for breakfast. The bathroom had a powerful shower and loo whilst the wash basin was separate. The bed was very comfortable and there were spare pillows and blankets available. The air conditioning worked well and there was a ceiling fan. We had a short walk to the pool, down to the beach or the restaurant or up the stairs to the road. I would not recommend staying here if you find stairs a problem as there is no elevator. I did feel the reception desk should have had more information about the town but besides that they were very helpful; printing our boarding passes and organising laundry. My one complaint was that quite often the sunbeds were pre booked with a towel and then empty for much of the day. A delightful place to stay if you want a relaxing beach holiday.
Park Royal Beach Ixtapa - All Inclusive
3.8/5101 Reviews
The hotels sounded great on the add however upon arrival we were told that an accident happened in our room! They told ne that a cleaning person had accidentalky dropped a bottles of cloro on the floor. I was told it was going to get cleaned up. My wife if very sensitivo to strong smells so I asked if the case was that the smell was too much if I could get moved to another room. I was told that wasn't possible. I was told it wouldn't be smelly. When we go to our room, it didn't smell like clorox, I assume that the room was simply not ready. Being honest about that woukd have avoided issues. Also the room smelled like mold very badly. We requested a room change and I was told I needed to pay. It's supposed to be an all inclusive hotel and it's less than all inclusive other than the food. The amenities like bike ride, kayak, etc has an extra cost unless the reservation has been made via a timeshare. When making reservations for the bikes, the amount of miscommunication between reps was incredible. To the point that we missed the ride twice. It was just dumb. The hotel is very run down and needs maintenance. By far not the best for thw price. I will not be coming back ever. For an all inclusive hotel go somewhere truly all inclusive.
Emporio Ixtapa - with Optional All Inclusive
4.2/5103 Reviews
Upon arriving at the All-Inclusive Emporio Hotel, right on the beach, I had a good first impression. A gate at the entrance was cleared before the bus could go down to the front entrance. This made me feel safe as I was a solo traveller. I was greeted by the staff and directed to the front desk. There were two employees checking in the guests. Although friendly, they could not speak much English which I found strange at a reception desk. It did not take long before I was checked into my room on the 8th floor. My room faced the market rather than beach. This turned out to be a blessing as it was quieter I think than facing the other way. The room was clean and had all the necessary items to stay including comfy beds. However, it was dated and I think some upgrades to the room would be good. Wifi is available in your room and throughout the hotel. This is a smaller hotel in the scheme of things. One large pool with a side pool for kids and a hot tub and a pool bar. The lobby was divided into two, one side had a lobby bar with tables and chairs which were very well worn. A big white wall was used to show movies and/or where there was a large platform for entertainment. The other side of the lobby was updated and had big, comfy chairs. Obviously this side was updated. In the evening, the entertainment was lacking pizazz which was in the lobby. There was a solo singer starting around 9 pm. I stuck close to the hotel in the evening as I was alone and this entertainment didn't keep me inspired. Although good, I was looking for more. The restaurants and main Condimento where most ate their three meals a day, served good food. But I really enjoyed the Italian restaurant Arrecife-so delicious! There is also a BBQ restaurant in front of the beach. The Arrecife and BBQ restaurants need to have reservations on the day you plan to go. The fabulous beach is right there to enjoy. So nice to have great weather every day and enjoy tours offered in the lobby. I enjoyed staying at this hotel. It is a great location and right across the street from the market. If you are looking for a Mexican feel, then this is the place. Brush up on your Spanish :) I have been to Ixtapa many times in the past. This time I saw some good changes: no smoking in most places, no loud music on the beach, security everywhere so I always felt safe. I can't wait to go again.
Hotel Villa Mexicana
4.2/5101 Reviews
The most important thing for me on a holiday is to be on a beach where I can swim in the sea. I don't know how Zihuatanejo is not better known in the world, as in particular Playa La Ropa is one of the most stunning locations I have ever visited. The beach is perfect but it is how it is set in a bay with spectacular scenery all around that really makes it. This hotel is right on the beach, with a nice pool and beachside area and restaurant. One night we even had a huge turtle wander up and make a nest against the wall of the restaurant. For a reasonably-priced hotel, the rooms are spacious, with a large shower, and the beds are prefect for me as they appear to made of solid concrete. Some people have complained about the WiFi. I admit I lost connection occasionally but then it was possible to connect to what I assume it the WiFi for the conference part. In any case, this place is Paradise and it's nice to switch off from the outside world. Staff for the most part were pretty quiet but friendly when you spoke to them. This is very much a place where older Americans, younger couples without kids, and families come, and many of them seem to be regulars. Staff seem to be more friendly with them but that's only to be expected and when I got talking to some regulars, staff were a lot friendlier with me (not that they were unfriendly before). I have seen it said that this part of Zihuatanejo is quiet and that there are not many options for food etc. Firstly, the quiet part is a good thing for a relaxing holiday and there are other restaurants along the beach. Paty's next door is great for breakfast, lunch and dinner, with really friendly staff and all manner of water activities to book. The hotel restaurant however is amazing and the food some of the best I have ever had. One of the beef dishes with fried plantains was especially noteworthy.
Hotel Irma
4/5101 Reviews
The staff was so friendly, especially Johnny, Isaac and Lily. The restaurant and pool service was excellent. We loved the pools and the view from the hotel is breathtaking. When we booked the hotel, we booked breakfast too but unfortunately when we arrived they said the included breakfast is only for the parents. So we were definitely surprised by that. Our only complaint is that we were charged twice for an upgrade to an Oceanview room and they did not refund the double charge and we stopped hearing from them when they said they would look into it.
