Great old Mexican style hotel. The staff is wonderful! Friendly and helpful. Always a smile on their faces. Excellent seafood restaurant with live music many nights. Fully equipped gym with aerobic classes every morning. Pack your cross trainers and spandex! Three pools, never crowded. Many excellent restaurants a 5 minute walk away. Management here knows how to operate a resort.
Kind of tired rsoet and salon open but not really open...water park rusting away and falling apart. Great location walk to everywhere
Nice hotel, nice staff the part I stayed in was kind of outdated. So could use an upgrade to be in the right decennia. Futher it is clean and nice
Leonel & his staff are beyond amazing! We absolutely LOVE this resort & can’t wait to return for more winters to come! The staff, culture, gym, pools, restaurant, & overall experience are just perfect & you can’t beat this location in Ixtapa! Love Lisa & Tony White from Canada
There is a pop up restaurant here Friday nights. Brazilian barbeque. Different meats excellent.
Great resort in a great location, ask for Gino if you need any advice for restaurants, beaches, tours, rides, etc while staying here, he's probably one of the most professional, friendly and most hospitable people I've ever met. A+ all around and Gino was a major part of it.
This resort was the best! Great service, great restaurant. Really good deal for all you get. Perfect location, 1 block away from shops. 10 mins walk from the beach!
Great staff, peacefull, pools are clean, check out the little coffee shop inside call Majalacafe.
