Perfect Location

  • Anonymous
  • Apr 1, 2012
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.

Nice Ixtapa Surprise

  • Love Mexico
  • Feb 22, 2012
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.

This hotel does not have night shows or nightly entertainment and when they did it ended at around 10 or 1030pm. The food for breakfast needs a little bit more variety but all of the other courses like lunch and dinner the varieties that they had were pretty good. Everyone is really friendly. The rooms were clean and nice, you have a good view if you had any room from 10-18 on any floor. We will not be returning to this hotel. This does not compare to the stays we have previously had in Cancun or Puerto Vallarta.

Repeat Visitors

  • Doc and J
  • Mar 23, 2012
Many of the staff have been at this hotel for years and remembered us. Very pleasant all the time. The only drawback is the rooms are a bit small and there is no balcony. A frig in the room would also be nice. This is a very good place to stay if you do not want all inclusive. The food at the hotel is very good, but the best value for the buck restaurant is the Hacienda Restaurant which is directly across from the Presidente Intercontinental Hotel. The best bacon wrapped shrimp for about $11. A very good breakfast for around $4.oo

GOOD TRIP.....BUT.....

  • Anonymous
  • Feb 12, 2010
The hotel itself was nice, pool area, beach were all wonderful. The food was good at breakfast and lunch, however the dinner buffet was just okay. No waitstaff around the pool, which is strange. Entertainment was fair. The rooms do not have safes or fridges, again this was strange for us. I left my rings in my room and my diamond wedding ring was stole, I reported it to hotel, they did an "investigation", but of course nothing came up, they did not even apoligize to me, for this reason I would never stay here again.

Ixtapa for families

  • Gringa Mama
  • Aug 5, 2012
Krystal Resort Hotel is older and really geared for families - on an all inclusive package. The beach is very nice with pounding heavy surf that is definitely dangerous - it's not a swimming beach. The pool is totally laid out for fun but if it is extremely hot then so it the pool and that is not refreshing. The staff were always there to serve and there wasn't much they could do about weak and inconsistent internet access and the same for the elevators.

Spring Break

  • Jameswm
  • Mar 11, 2012
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.

Beautiful beach getaway

  • jrat
  • Mar 16, 2012
This is a perfect spot on a perfect beach. I can't say enough nice things about their staff, from check in to pool side. Very nice pool area with umbrellas for shade. You go down the steps to two miles of beach that is fairly flat and easy to walk. We just spent 2 weeks there and enjoyed every minute. They offer room service once a day free with the all inclusive package and it was nice to have breakfast delivered every morning.

Great Vacation

  • Dave the Rave
  • Mar 15, 2012
This is the second year we've stayed at the Tesoro and we're seriously considering going back in 2013. The resort is extremely clean, the staff very friendly and helpful and the food delicious. Ixtapa beach is beautiful and offers great walking. The major downside is that locals are solicited to stay, mainly frrom Friday-Sunday. Entire families do come and include infants to grandparents. This causes some crowding at times but the good more than offsets this minor inconvenience. If the locals are needed to generate income needed to keep the doors open, so be it!

Perfect spring break with young adults

  • Anonymous
  • Apr 9, 2011
Perfect spring break vacation. We took our two college aged students with us. The hotel was in a perfect location. It was in walking distance from downtown where there is plenty of shopping and restaurants and a lot of hotels on the beach. I recommend Jacks restaurant it was fantastic. It was nice to come back to a quiet hotel to rest and swim with hardly anyone there. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Ixtapa was a clean little town. Shopowners were always cleaning or trimming the landscapes. One day we went to the Ixtapa Island, it was ok. Lots of restaurants there, but the best thing there is to snorkel or play other water sports. The entry to the island is a natural crocodile pond. That was worth the trip to the island. They were huge. Also, our kids did the zip line. They enjoyed it, but said you really have to be in great shape to do this challenge. We also met a family who lives there and spent the day at the ocean with them. We had true mexican food and the mother was an artist and the daughter a surfer. It was a great day. They only thing I can say is that we wished we could have stayed a few more days.

Still crazy after all these years!!

  • Grandpas
  • Dec 7, 2012
I stayed there years ago, and I am happy to say that it still is a wonderful place to visit... Only thing missing? A good supervisor keeping an eye on the perfect cleaners of the rooms and restaurant areas. A few regrettable mistakes on that side during our brief, yet very pleasant, stay.

Nice!

Stayed 5 days in the "Brisas Beach club" rooms. Upon arrival the lobby is outdoors so it's kinda hot waiting in line. The staff is very friendly. If you do not speak spanish it may pose a concern as not all of the staff speaks english. Be sure to ask the staff what is included in your room because i found out on my 3rd night that i had free happy hour. Also the restaurants inside the hotel are a little on the expensive side, it's cheaper to take a taxi to zihuatanejo and eat.

Food was great! Staff is very friendly. Room was always clean. Pool area was great! Only complaint was that there was not an assortment of beer. Hotel only offers keg beer. While in Mexico it would be nice to taste the assortment of Mexican beers available.

first day started off bad, shuttle forgot to pick us up after one hour and several calls later to grayline they arranged with another shuttle service to get us to our hotel. after checking in and seeing our room it was the worse room I have seen it was somewhat clean but grout on floor tiles needed attention furniture finish was peeling, no in room safe no mini bar as we had expected. we called the hotel to to see if the room had a mini bar and safe.The hotel said yes overall that room needed some serious TLC. That room was an up grade ( ocean view room )after arriving at the hotel we find out that only some rooms had mini bar and safes.After complaing they did put us in a nicer room (for a charge of course) Also because it was the off season there wasn't much entainment two outside fiestas (one dinner because they had six bus load of people check in) food in two of the restraurants was the same all week and very little variety the other restaurant had Itialian or french only all week long not that good but overall the service was good in all areas.

nice place but.....

  • Travel Writer SF
  • Aug 11, 2012
This is a nice hotel but you need to be aware of a couple of things that are not clear in the description.....travelsites show you pictures of all their pools highlighting the thalasso spa but you are only allowed into ONE of the pools onsite (the main pool by the bar), the thalasso pool closest to the hotel is approximately an additional $90 us per person per day to use. Do not attempt to stand, sit or dip your toes into any other pool as you will immediately be told it's off limits. During your stay will receive a daily phone call asking to attend a time share - typical for mexico but still annoying, and the food service is slow, expensive and of average quality. You have to take a taxi everywhere because it's too far to walk unless you take the golf cart ride to the beach and then cut through the walkway to the main strip in ixtapa. The golf cart is a 4x4 and is a rough ride, not recommended if you have back, neck or any other problems. The beach area is nice but small and there aren't always loungers available. The rooms are beautiful but lots of stairs to get to and from pool, office and room. If you get the rooms in portal 4 next to the cliff expect to hear machines running and an occassional foul odor as well as a lot of ants and bugs. Also you will run out of hot water in the shower, barely enough for 2 people to shower. There are no loungers on the patios, only regular chairs. Rooms have a nice kitchen but they don't supply you with any mugs or pots so the coffee maker and the stove don't help you unless you bring or buy your own supplies. Wifi is hard to get in the room, works okay on the patios but is slow. Overall the hotel is beautiful but I wish someone would have posted all the extra expenses and what to expect, especially since you are paying luxury hotel prices. I've stayed at various places over the past 5 visits to Zihau/Ixtapa and work in the travel industry, I am a bold travel writer and tell you straight forward my personal experiences.

Good Value

  • SW619
  • Feb 28, 2012
For the price we paid I can't complain too much about the Fontan. The staff is really friendly and hard working. Housekeeping was excellent as were the waiters and bartenders. The hotel itself is old and somewhat broken down. Yes, there are stains on ceiling and walls, some of the tiles are broken and the wood work has seen better days but it's clean and the AC works great. The buffet is limited and there's not much fresh fruit but there's a good enough selection of other dishes that you always find something. Their chicken is fantastic and so are the soups. The location is great. Ixtapa village is right behind the hotel as is the bus stop.

Un hotel muy comodo, donde el lujo no es una de sus caracterizticas principales, pero si esta suficientemente funcional y en relacion con su bajo precio, creo que cumple totalmente con las espectativas de quienes lo visitan. Hay actividades todo el dia que te hacen disfrutar aun mas de las vacaciones en familia. En los alimentos posiblemente en otros hoteles haya mas variedad, pero en este lo que preparan esta sabroso y eso si muy limpio. Pienso que es un hotel muy recomendable para quienes no podemos pagar cantidades exsorbitantes para disfrutar de un All Inclusive.

Capella Ixtapa Resort

  • Anonymous
  • Mar 15, 2011
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!

Fantastic 50th Anniversay vacation

  • Phyllis - Half of the Anniversary Couple
  • Jun 8, 2011
The hotel is as beautiful as the pictures. Food and presentation were 5 star. Great staff that inter-acted with everyone and went above and beyond to accommodate us. This was our 1st all-inclusive and 1st Club Med. All of the activities were included at no extra charge. Kayaking, sailing, tennis, trapeze and excercise classes. It was our 50th Anniversary and there were 8 other family members that were with us ranging in age from 18 to 75. No one was ready to go home.

The club had just opend after the swean flu scare, only five families in the villeage. The local help was not very helpful but the international GO team was very nice and fun. The kids have a great time and the food was excellent. No room service! and house keeping is not too great. Take lots and lots of sunscreen!
