Spring Break

Our family LOVE Ixtapa/Zihua and have been there many times. This is second time we have stayed at Krystal. Location cannot be beat ~ within walking distance of everything and bus to Zihua right in front of hotel. We do not do all-inclusive as we love exploring Ixtapa restaurants (Soleido, Deborah's are great!) as well as Zihua (Daniel's). Regarding Krystal...room nice with great view.Housekeeping did good job ~ getting towels as well as TP for three was daily challenge and apparently Krystal doesn't supply washcloths. Staff cater to the Mexican guests especially Fridays thru Sunday which frankly became quite obvious not to mention annoying. Staff at Reception Desk as well as Concierge not terribly friendly and again catered to Mexican clients. Also....regarding room comfort ~ pillows hard and lumpy (WORST pillows we have ever slept on). Bedspreads were kind of similar to a plastic tablecloth.....definitely could use some improvement. Overall had a FABULOUS time. Plan to stay in Zihua next time.

Good Value for the price..

We Stayed 3 Days and was a good Experience for what we payed, the beach to take a walk its really good, all the rooms have at least partial view to the bay, on weekends they had this special Mexican night with music dancing food and beer for only 16 dollars the show its not special the food was ok, if you are looking for young crowd… this is not the place, everything it’s on walking distance, the rooms seems to be a little old but overall was good.

Mexico Vacation

The hotel has improved from last year. Old owners have taken over - much nicer, cleaner and better staffed. We had a upgrade room to one of the ones that have had the bathroom all redone. Very nice. Their goel is to have all done by next year. One very good plus is that you can have all inclusive or not, We always do the not, lots of good resturants in the area to choice from. Would go again.

We did not buy all inclusive package

After reading some reviews we did not buy all inclusive package and we were happy with this choise. There are many place in close vicinity to have a breakfast or lunch, and few nights we went to Zihuatanejo for dinner. This hotel has a good location, magnificent ocean view, nice pool area. During our visit the waves were big at the break for just normal swimming, but you can do body/boogy boarding. The beach is big and not crowded, but it is not easy to find a space under umbrella, because people try to reserve the shade from early in the morning and keep it through the day.

It is an old hotel, supposedly

It is an old hotel, supposedly it was recently remodeled but I just went for the first time and felt that way. Elevators, architecture, room interiors, facade, everything looked like designed for another generation. It's good value for the price though, and the location cannot be better. It is located in the middle of the action, regardless if it is night clubbing, exercising, having dinner or going to take a walk to the Marina. Food is ok, pool is excellent and it has a great piece of beach in front.

would not recommend this hotel

The hotel restaurants were fine. Our room was not so good. The bathroom was gross. Some of the workers at the front desk were disrespectful and had very bad manners. If anyone in USA acted that way with customers, they would be fired.

still a great place overall

This is our 16th year at this hotel. We were disappointed that the Parrillada restaurant where you dine overlooking the ocean was closed. That was one of our favorite places to eat. We are hoping it will reopen at some point. Still, the location of this hotel is excellent, the staff are wonderful and the pool and grounds beautiful. I hope we will continue to be able to go back. Additionally this is a very safe location.
