Cliffside resort with ocean view rooms, gourmet dining and on-site spa
The 5-star Capella Ixtapa resort provides stunning ocean views and luxury amenities on Mexico's Pacific coast. The terraced cliffside building features just 59 suites, each facing the ocean for a quiet tropical retreat. Local activities include four-wheeling, horseback riding and sailing -- though doing nothing may be the most popular choice of all. The Capella Ixtapa resort is an ideal choice for just that, with a private balcony with plunge pool, rainforest shower and 24-hour in-room dining with each suite.

- Area description
- The Ixtapa beach resort is a master-planned, oceanfront paradise, designed to protect the natural beauty of the environment while exposing guests to its splendor on their romantic Mexico vacation. Nearby to Capella Ixtapa is the Mexican town of Zihuatanejo. Unlike so much of Latin America, Zihuatanejo retains much of the culture of Mexico, as well as the practices and traditions dating back to the Aztec age. While Capella Ixtapa is easily reached via international airport travel, and features high-speed, state-of-the-art connections to the information society, when guests come here, we encourage them to leave it all behind, and soak in the wonder of Ixtapa.

Bat Droppings, Biting Ants and Inconsistent Service
Lots of problems with this hotel. Biting ants in room upon arrival. Strong odor of cigarette smoke in mattress. Spotty and inattentive service by pool. "Private transportation" to the hotel from airport is nothing more than a taxi at twice the cost you would otherwise pay. Personal assistant messed up our itinerary by forgetting to schedule activities when requested. Bat droppings on outdoor sofa lounge cushions and on table on porch each morning. We were served one breakfast in our room and the hotel staff did not even bother to clean off the bat droppings all over the table and in the chairs. Lovely. Inexcusable and pathetic. There is NO SUCH thing as a five or six star ANYTHING in Mexico. The culture simply won't ever allow for it. We spent $5,400 in seven days at the hotel. When we arrived for our scheduled $700 spa treatment the sauna had not even been warmed up and it was 3 in the afternoon. The final insult was when we returned home and found the hotel had billed one of our cards and additional $2,500 by 'accident.'

This hotel purports to be a luxury, couples only, romantic get away, but you will find lost of kids and babies. If you are Mexican and have money, you can bring the kids. Wish that was in the advertising.

Capella Ixtapa Resort
This was our second visit to the hotel. We were there in November with 2 other couples. The food is excellent at the resort and the rooms are amazing. The hotel is posted on the site as adults-only, but there were families with children at the hotel for this visit. We thought we were paying for adults-only and were disappointed. Prices in Mexico are at an all time high. Over $150 for two to dine.

Fabulous resort in every area!!
My husband and I stayed at Capella Ixtapa from Dec. 26th, 2010 through Jan. 2nd, 2011. We travel frequently and are very blessed to afford a high level of luxury. This resort truly deserves its 5-star rating in every way. It was our favorite trip so far, which is saying a lot. The room was fabulous, the service was impeccable, and there was no request the staff would not attempt to accommodate. We are already talking about when we can go again!

Shopping tip:
Short drive from hotel
I highly recommend taking a taxi into downtown Zihuatanejo to shop and eat. We did this a couple nights and felt very safe. The market area is fun with several good, casual restaurants. There are also several very nice restaurants all over the city.

Capella was perfect for our Honeymoon
Awesome experience. Great service and made the trip a very memorable experience. Travel quite a bit, and was very pleasantly surprised by the level of service and the quality of the room (plunge pool option was great). Only minor complaint, was that [...] or Capella should make clearer when purchasing that there is a service charge (10%?) to be added to the hotel bill upon checking in. I would say that the service and hotel were worth it, but it did come as a surprise and there's really no option at that point. But was nice to not have to constantly tip as this charge is then already included. They really do try and help in all ways. 4pm Tequila time, 5pm free chips&salsa and beer to your room, free minibar drinks (no nickel and diming was a nice change), great recommendations, etc.

Great Experience
Prices actually charged vs menu (in room service) were higher (on top of service charge, etc). They surprised me with the cost of transportation back to the airport and the intention to add a sevice charge of 10% to the room charge. Other than this very good overall experince.
