Perfect Location
You simply will not find a better location in Ixtapa. There are numerous restaurants, banks, and stores right across the street and I felt completely safe. The rooms were dated but clean and the bed was probably the most comfortable I have had at a resort. We had them empty the mini-bar/fridge so we could use it for our food and drinks and they didn't charge us at check out. The grounds were really nice and there were plenty of beach chairs so I didn’t have to get up early. The drinks were expensive unless it was happy hour and that was only offered in the lobby not in the pool. We did not try any of the food but a couple we met had the all inclusive and were quite happy. We loved Ixtapa and when we return we will definitely stay here again.

You have to have a copy of your passport to exchange money and the bank will not make a copy so have one made at the hotel before you go. The bank right in front of the hotel requires three forms of ID so you are better off to go accross the street.

Best Ixtapa Place
This is the third time we've stayed at the Emporio and we just love the place. It's a small, intimate place with the best staff ever. It is well maintained and comfortable. It is impeccably clean with a great pool area and swim up bar. It is on a great stretch of beach and directly across from the downtown area. I can't say enough about this place and the great times we have had there.

The food and service is great in the Emporio however we do like to eat at different places all the time. Right across the street from the Emporio is the downtown with so many great restaurants that you can eat somewhere different every meal if you wanted to. We love the location of the Emporio.

Nice Ixtapa Surprise
Although my husband and I prefer the quieter Zihatanejo, we were traveling with my elderly mother and thought the flatter, more touristy Ixtapa might be better. We had never stayed at the Emporio and were pleasantly surprised. We had ocean front rooms with a lovely frontal view. No balcony in which to enjoy it but we were not in the room much anyway. Comfy king bed, decent shower, very clean with nice shampoos. Large pool area, swim up bar. It looked like nice kids activities, all in all, very comfortable. I would return if I were to go back to Ixtapa.

Emporio
This place has a great location just across from the shopping and restaurants. The staff was friendly, and the rooms were cleaned pretty well. My gripes were that the floor in the bathroom was wet everyday even after they cleaned, and the club across the street was playing music all night long and you could hear it in our room.

Excellent vacation!
The location was fantastic. Great beach for walking. Also walking distance to any kind of restaurant you would like to visit. The waiters for breakfast, dinner and poolside were superb! Unfortunately, the hotel was unable to give change for US money, which caused quite a dilemma when we were leaving. Also, their computer in the lobby did not work.

Excellent Resort at a excellent price![...]Awesome staff from entry to exit.Become ill, and hotel had a doctor their in no time, right across the street is everything you need, shops, pharmacias,restaurants, may to choose from.Beautiful pool and swimup bar.Right on the beach,we will definitely be going back to the Emporio.The only thing we really missed, was entertainment at night, it would really be a positive for the Emporio.You can jump on the beach and parasail, walk the beach,about 7 mins and get a massage, or swim with the dolphins,which is 10 mins. walking distance from the Emporio:)Full of excellent people, we met the sweetest people from Minnesota.The beds and pillows make you want to take them home.
