Emporio Ixtapa - With Optional All Inclusive

“Will go again, most likely.”

Older hotel. It is clean, kept well yet ready for modernization. The service is second to none. If you are looking for reasonably priced ocean front accommodations with a nice pool, pool bar and room service, this fits well. The area was safe, there was lots to do and the food was very good.

If you are looking for reasonably priced ocean front accommodations with a nice pool, pool bar and room service, this fits well. The area was safe, there was lots to do and the food was very good. Nearby restaurants were many and wonderful while a taxi to get there, if not walking, was very inexpensive. This was our first time and we are talking about going back already.

“A great smaller hotel with a Mexican feel”

Upon arriving at the All-Inclusive Emporio Hotel, right on the beach, I had a good first impression. A gate at the entrance was cleared before the bus could go down to the front entrance. This made me feel safe as I was a solo traveller. I was greeted by the staff and directed to the front desk. There were two employees checking in the guests. Although friendly, they could not speak much English which I found strange at a reception desk. It did not take long before I was checked into my room on the 8th floor. My room faced the market rather than beach. This turned out to be a blessing as it was quieter I think than facing the other way. The room was clean and had all the necessary items to stay including comfy beds. However, it was dated and I think some upgrades to the room would be good. Wifi is available in your room and throughout the hotel. This is a smaller hotel in the scheme of things. One large pool with a side pool for kids and a hot tub and a pool bar. The lobby was divided into two, one side had a lobby bar with tables and chairs which were very well worn. A big white wall was used to show movies and/or where there was a large platform for entertainment. The other side of the lobby was updated and had big, comfy chairs. Obviously this side was updated. In the evening, the entertainment was lacking pizazz which was in the lobby. There was a solo singer starting around 9 pm. I stuck close to the hotel in the evening as I was alone and this entertainment didn't keep me inspired. Although good, I was looking for more. The restaurants and main Condimento where most ate their three meals a day, served good food. But I really enjoyed the Italian restaurant Arrecife-so delicious! There is also a BBQ restaurant in front of the beach. The Arrecife and BBQ restaurants need to have reservations on the day you plan to go. The fabulous beach is right there to enjoy. So nice to have great weather every day and enjoy tours offered in the lobby. I enjoyed staying at this hotel. It is a great location and right across the street from the market. If you are looking for a Mexican feel, then this is the place. Brush up on your Spanish :) I have been to Ixtapa many times in the past. This time I saw some good changes: no smoking in most places, no loud music on the beach, security everywhere so I always felt safe. I can't wait to go again.

“Great service, so so food and loud live nightly music”

The staff and service is very good! Everybody was helpful and friendly with me and my baby! We only had breakfast there and what was fresh was good (fruit and eggs done at the moment) the cooked dishes (chicharrón, refried beans, chilaquiles…)were not the best. Go very early because otherwise the w… lisää

The staff and service is very good! Everybody was helpful and friendly with me and my baby! We only had breakfast there and what was fresh was good (fruit and eggs done at the moment) the cooked dishes (chicharrón, refried beans, chilaquiles…)were not the best. Go very early because otherwise the waiting list to be fitted is super super long! The rooms need a bit of an upgrade but they are not terrible. The pool is nice and the beach is super nice. I loved that beach beds as they are more comfy to be with a baby. Every night they have live music that is very loud and due to where it’s being played you can tell it can be heard in all rooms. That was very annoying and I had to put baby down to sleep with loud white noise to block the music.
