“Another amazing stay ate one of our favorites.”

We just wrapped up two weeks at our favorite resort in the Zihu/Ixtapa area and it was amazing as usual. We have been coming here for more than 25 years, stayed on the 20th floor with the Brisas Beach club deal, did not do all inclusive, and ate most of our dinners in Zihua. Your experience m… more

We just wrapped up two weeks at our favorite resort in the Zihu/Ixtapa area and it was amazing as usual. We have been coming here for more than 25 years, stayed on the 20th floor with the Brisas Beach club deal, did not do all inclusive, and ate most of our dinners in Zihua. Your experience may vary. CheckIn/CheckOut - this has been a pain point in the past but this time both were fast (not chain hotel in the US fast but still not bad) Rooms - the rooms remain the same and are large with a seating area and short bench seat (could be a kids bed). Lots of drawer space and closet space with a safe in the closet. The beds are good and firm with a pillow top that worked well. Nice pillows and floating night stands on each side of the king beds. The cooling can be challenging in some rooms but ours was great with a silent ceiling fan. The balcony’s are huge with two chairs, a table, and a hammock. The bathrooms are large with double sinks and a walk in shower with a bench and shower head and wand. Beach - the beach is private with no vendors, music, or water sport sellers. The palapas are large and there are enough to minimize the need to wake up early to grab a spot. The water is clear, but the waves can be large. You need to be careful if they are. The lifeguards (Victor and Arturo) do a great job of watching people and warning about large waves inbound. Pools - the pool area is above the beach and has 2 good-sized pools (1 adult only) and a smaller family and kids pool. The pools need some work on tile replacement but the lounge chairs are pretty new. Food and Drink - we mostly eat our dinners in Zihua but had dinner at Bellavista (big buffet, decent menu, nice kabob). This is also the breakfast spot with a huge buffet. We ate once at Las Brisa’s II (awesome setting, good service, and likely good food). We had two things that were not good, but heard from others that they enjoyed the food. The Beach menus is limited but had great burgers, quesadillas and guacamole. No food service at the pool, but a buffet and larger menus at the Solarium next to the pool. The Lobby Bar is a great place to watch the sunset and gather at night, but generally has no entertainment. The Property - the resort is large and built on a hill so there are a lot of steps but elevators eliminate most of them. This is really not a great spot if you are mobility challenged. The place is beautiful and has kept its modern Aztec feel with amazing views framed by all of the openings. The Staff. - to a person, the staff is great. They are friendly and helpful and all smiles. Be aware that most do not speak much English, but it is México. A few shout outs to some amazing people. Sergio at the beach is outstanding and does an amazing job of anticipating what you need. He really makes the beach special. In addition, Margurita and Naftani also do great job of keeping you comfortable. In the Lobby Bar, Rosario has been amazing since we have been coming here. She is great at making everyone feel welcome. Bladamir, Lidia, and Manuel all make you feel welcome by providing great service. Leslie, the Concierge has great suggestions and will take care of reservations and other requests for you. In the Beach Club, Victorino and Osanti are great. If you want quiet relaxation in a comfortable older school setting, and are willing to do a little walking, this is your place.

“Great Hotel”

The beds were soft, the service was great, the views were spectacular, the food was good. We took the Beach Club package which included breakfast and a nightly happy hour. It was very nice. The rooms in this hotel all have terrific views. They are a little dated but are very well maintained. … more

“Spectacular sunsets!”

The staff at the hotel were the nicest and most helpful of any place we have stayed, and we have travelled a lot.

The staff at the hotel were the nicest and most helpful of any place we have stayed, and we have travelled a lot. My negatives were the food and beer was not our favourite, and we unfortunately got a room on the 19th floor that was just above the lounge, so noisy, but I think all of the other floors would be great. The hotel is on a slope, so lots of stairs or elevators. The pools are tired, need some lovin’! But there are 3 pools to choose from with great service of drinks and a lunch bar. The positive was the room was clean, pretty with a beautiful view! The stairs provided us with great cardio each day. Staff are truly great! Lounge provides gorgeous views of sunset each night, with sports on tv if you prefer, (the staff graciously put the 4 Nations final game on for us). This resort is outside of Zihua, but only cost $120 pesos each way, and it’s much more homey than the huge resorts in Ixtapa, and gives you a beautiful private beach that you can’t get any where else there. Lots of covered palapas with drink and food service on the beach. We recommend this resort, just request a room on a different floor from the 19th.
