Ixtapa Apartments

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.

Beginnen Sie mit der Buchung eines Zweibettzimmers, aber kein Check-in, kostenloses Zustellbett

Die Hotels klangen gut auf dem Add aber nach der Ankunft wurde uns gesagt, dass ein Unfall in unserem Zimmer passiert! Sie sagten ne, dass eine Reinigungsperson versehentlich eine Flasche Chlor auf dem Boden gegossen hatte. Ich wurde gesagt, es würde gereinigt werden. Meine Frau, wenn sie sehr empfindlich auf starke Geruchsträger ist, fragte ich, ob der Geruch zu viel war, wenn ich in ein anderes Zimmer verlegt werden könnte. Ich wurde gesagt, das wäre nicht möglich. Ich wurde gesagt, es wäre nicht geruchbar. Wenn wir in unser Zimmer gehen, riecht es nicht wie Chlorx, ich nehme an, dass das Zimmer einfach nicht bereit war. Ehrlich zu sein, dass woud Probleme vermeiden. Auch das Zimmer riecht wie Moll sehr schlecht. Wir baten um eine Zimmerwechsel und ich wurde gesagt, dass ich bezahlen musste. Es sollte ein all inclusive Hotel sein und es ist weniger als alle inclusive außer dem Essen. Die Einrichtungen wie Fahrradfahrt, Kajak, etc haben einen zusätzlichen Kosten, es sei denn, die Buchung wurde über einen Zeitanteil gemacht. Bei der Buchung der Fahrräder war die Menge der Misskommunikation zwischen den Repsen unglaublich. Zum Punkt, dass wir das Fahren zweimal verpasst haben. Es war nur dumm. Das Hotel ist sehr runtergefahren und braucht Wartung. Entfernens nicht das Beste für den Thw-Preis. Ich werde nie wiederkommen. Für ein all inclusive Hotel gehen irgendwo wirklich all inclusive.

It was our first time in Ixtapa/Zihuatanejo and indeed it was a pleasant surprise, the hotel is not new but it is well maintained, we had a suite with 2 nice balconies. The staff is very helpful and friendly, the food was quite good and they had plenty of daily activities and shows every night. The visitors were mainly families with small children and they have a nice adults only section! We would gladly go back specially after a couple of months that there will be a direct flight on VIVA from MTY where we live starting in July. Nowadays you practically lose a day flying thru Mexico city. There were plenty of people in the hotel and on the beach starting in Friday. One situation I consider a drawback and didn’t like is that the sea is very agitated and the tide is very strong tries to get you back into the sea, the lifeguards at the hotel don’t let you go far into the water where the waves break, the put up a BLACK FLAG which means don’t go into the water, I had never seen that before. I understand there are other beaches where the waves aren’t as strong, we were at beach EL PALMAR, I was told there are good hotels in other areas like LA ROPA and LAS GATAS In summary the hotel is nice if you enjoy the pool which by the way has warm water and being at the beach and just barely going into the sea, if you enjoy going into the sea freely I would look for other option in accomidations
