Guests rate it very good, with 8.4 out of 10 from more than a thousand reviews, and its class is shown as three and a half. It has two restaurants, beachfront dining and free bicycle rentals, and rooms include ocean-view and mountain-view options and suites. An optional all-inclusive plan covers on-site food and drinks with some restrictions, which is handy for families and groups.
Location and getting around
The hotel is in the Ixtapa entertainment district, about a seven-minute walk to Playa El Palmar and close to Magic World Aquapark. The airport is about a twenty-one-minute drive. Taxis and local transport make it easy to reach Zihuatanejo, Playa Linda for boats to Isla Ixtapa and the marina. Free bicycle rentals are a useful extra for short trips along the strip.
Rooms and facilities
Room choices include superior rooms with a king or two double beds, in ocean or mountain view, standard rooms and suites. The resort has a private beach, an outdoor pool, a children's pool, a swim-up bar and a poolside bar, a hot tub, spa, health club, tennis court and volleyball. There are two restaurants and beachfront dining, and a buffet breakfast and babysitting are available for a surcharge. WiFi is free in public areas and the front desk is staffed around the clock.
Who it suits and good to know: families, groups and couples who like a resort with lots to do will find it a good fit, and the optional all-inclusive plan helps control costs. Rates change with the season and the plan, so compare the room-only and all-inclusive rates. Ocean-view rooms are the most popular, so request one early. Because it is on a busy strip, expect some activity at night, and ask for a quieter room if you are a light sleeper.
